Yes, humans bring their strongest quality, whether good or evil, to their vampire life. Take for example Jasper, he had great charisma in his human life and was always a little in touch with people's emotion, when he was turned, he brought his charisma and turned it into empathy. Or Alice... she already had visions of the future and brought it with her into her vampire life. I think Jame's was always a hunter of young women, it just intensified in his second life that he became a tracker.

Bella and Edward are mates. She just happens to also be his singer which attracts him to her in the first place. Vampires mate for life. Edward just happened to mate with a human. Her destiney was always to become a vampire, seeing how she joins the life with such finnese.

Covens are Vampires who stay in one certain area of the world. They have their terratory. Like The Amazon Coven, The Eqyptian Coven, The Denali Coven. I believe Clans travel alot more, kind of like Nomads.
