When was esme turned into a vampire

The happiness denied her as a human is finally hers and Esme couldn't be more pleased. Knowing her story, this is not hard to believe. She didn't have real love in her human life and she did have a crush on Carlisle and never forgot him afterward. That's more powerful than a regular crush. It was probably a sign that they were meant to be together.

Finally, she found true love, and it almost made up for the tragedies in her life. Esme and Carlisle most likely fell in love so quickly due to her past and Carlisle's gentle nature.

She was so glad to be with someone so caring. Esme's life finally took a turn for the better and she was happy. She and Carlisle had each other and eventually, they'd have children as well and that's all that matters. This must have been interesting for the motherly Esme. It's doubtful that she ever saw Edward as a brother, though of course, it was only what they said to throw off the humans in the area. The reason for this deception was that Esme and Edward looked somewhat similar.

Therefore, people in the area easily accepted the fact that they were family. This charade went on for a while until it changed to what it is during Twilight , that Carlisle and Esme are the adoptive parents of several teenagers. Due to her motherly nature, this charade must have fit Esme well.

She would definitely prefer to see Edward as her son rather than her brother. And perhaps her adoptive children could fill the hole left by the loss of her baby as a human. Carlisle has a theory that everyone's traits as a human get magnified when they are turned into a vampire. In Esme's case, this means her ability to love.

Edward explains this to Bella in Twilight. Bella takes it calmly, as she does with everything else. Even when Edward explains the more magical abilities such as Jasper's ability to control emotions and Alice's visions of the future.

Though Esme herself does not have a magical ability, it is somewhat surprising how fiercely she loves given how little love she experienced in her human life. Her parents loved her in their own way, but also pressured her into marriage and into keeping quiet about the unhappy truth of the marriage. Her husband as a human never loved her and she never loved him. So the fact that her ability to love passionately survived her transformation into a vampire is magical in a way.

It shows how strong and resilient Esme is as a person. Perhaps because of her own happiness with Carlisle, and the happiness she saw in her other adopted children with their loves, Esme was always worried about Edward being alone. It's no surprise that Esme is a hopeless romantic. After all, her enhanced ability as a vampire is her ability to love passionately. That's bound to make anyone a hopeless romantic. And she loves Edward too, although not in the romantic sense of the word.

She truly cares for him and sees him as her family, as her son. So it's no surprise that she wants Edward to be happy. And to Esme, who did not experience true love until Carlisle, someone cannot be happy without true love in their life.

This should be no surprise either. Since she was so worried about Edward being alone, she was glad when he finally met the love of his life. Though Bella was human at the time, this didn't dampen Esme's enthusiasm for the relationship.

She was just glad that Edward finally found someone to love. When Edward went away for a while to Alaska, Esme was upset and was glad when he came back to the family and to Bella.

In fact, Esme is part of the reason that Edward came back at all. She supported his relationship with Bella fully and just wanted him to do whatever he needed to stay with the family. Which, luckily for Esme, Edward did. Everyone needs to have hobbies, it seems.

Even vampires. And Esme is no exception to that rule. She is really interested in architecture and restoration. In fact, she is responsible for the Cullens' house. She also likes to restore historical buildings and does so as often as she can.

Her hobbies have come a long way since she was a teenager. She used to be climbing trees, now as an adult--and a vampire--she's restoring houses. Seems like a very grown-up thing to do. She has come a long way in her life and now has time to have hobbies again. She's glad to have her hobbies and spend her free time doing something special that she enjoys. You never forget your first child. Even if said child is a vampire and is actually older than they appear to be. Due to Edward being the first child Esme really got to have, he's special to her.

This makes sense. She lost her baby as a human but found a new family as a vampire. Edward was the first member of the family for her and for Carlisle and is therefore special to both of them. Esme truly loves Edward with her whole heart. She really sees him as her son. He is like the oldest child who never truly grows up because he's doted on by his parents.

Though Edward is quite mature for having that status. Take that Edward and Bella. Just kidding. Don't worry Twilight fans. No Edward and Bella hate here. However, one could say that Esme and Carlisle are where Edward learned it all. Esme is also the law of , and the of. She was previously married to Charles Evenson as a human. In , after losing her baby to lung fever, Esme attempted suicide, but her attempt was unsuccessful.

Later, Carlisle transformed her into a vampire on her deathbed. Some time later, the pair fell in love and married, starting to build a family of like-minded vegetarian vampires around them. Esme possessed an unparalleled capacity for passionate love for those around her, which allowed the members of her family to consider her as the greatest maternal figure in their lives.

She is the oldest Cullen in appearance by three years though Jasper, Edward and Carlisle are older as they were transformed earlier in their lives. It is mentioned that he had already composed several pieces for Esme since she loves to hear him play.

The Cullens later invite Bella to play baseball with them, and she and Esme act as umpires. Before the game begins, Esme tells Bella a little about her human life and says that she is thankful that Edward and her have come to love, as he was her first and favorite adoptive child.

She even stated that she had always worried that he would never find true love. When James's coven arrives, the Cullens try to pass Bella off as a vampire, but James catches her scent, and attempts to attack her. All the Cullens spring into action to protect Bella, much to the nomads' amazement. James' coven leaves and the Cullens return home, though James and Victoria have begun to hunt Bella.

Esme swaps clothes with Bella, so that they could try to disguise her scent. Esme remains at home with Rosalie to protect Bella's father during her escape to Phoenix with Alice and Jasper. Esme does not play a major role in the movie , and is seen only a few times. She first appears in the kitchen, preparing dinner with Carlisle, Emmett , and Rosalie, when Edward brings Bella to meet his family.

Esme becomes increasingly excited once she realizes Bella has arrived catching her scent, like the rest of the Cullens. She is seen again during the baseball match where she acts as umpire with Bella. When the nomads arrive and James attempts to attack Bella, the Cullen family spring into action and form a protective barrier between her and James' coven.

Carlisle and Esme at Bella 's 18th birthday party. Esme is seen briefly at Bella 's eighteenth birthday which Alice organized; she shares an embrace with Bella and wishes her a happy birthday. While opening her present, Bella cuts her finger on the wrapping paper and Jasper attempts to attack her.

Edward shoves Bella out of the way to protect her, but she crashes into the table containing her birthday cake and a pile of plates which smash, and cuts her arms on the broken shards of china and glass.

Once Jasper is subdued, the rest of the Cullen family, with the exception of Carlisle, smell Bella's blood, and are suddenly ravenous. Emmett and Rosalie drag Jasper outside and Esme follows them, apologizing to Bella and deeply ashamed that she is tempted by the smell of her blood. Carlisle cleans and stitches up Bella's wounds and she leaves; in the living room, she passes Esme who is cleaning up the spilled blood.

When she and her family moved up North, she occupied herself with restoring a 17th-century house in the forest north of the city of Ithaca. Esme is not seen again until the end of the book, when she, Carlisle, Jasper, Emmett, and Rosalie go to pick Edward, Alice and Bella up from the airport after Bella and Alice prevented Edward from committing suicide.

She is very grateful to Bella for having saved Edward's life, and makes her son promise never to scare her like that again. The next day, Bella asks the Cullens to vote on whether or not they are willing to turn her into a vampire and let her join their coven.

Esme votes "yes", and says that she already considers Bella part of the family. When a rogue vampire snuck into Bella's house to get her scent, Esme and her family allied with the Uley pack to watch Bella and Charlie.

Esme is present at Bella , Edward , and Alice 's graduation, and the party held afterwards at their house. After realizing that someone is creating an army of newborn vampires to destroy the Cullens and get to Bella, and refused by the Denali coven 's aid, Esme genuinely accepts the Uley pack 's willingness to join forces with them, as Jasper is an expert on newborn vampires, and teaches them how to fight them.

While watching Jasper and Esme train for the upcoming battle, Bella discriminates Esme's fighting skills as weaker, compared to the rest of her family. However, she does show enough skill to handle her own opponents. In the movie , she first appears in the forest while chasing Victoria with her family and some of the wolves. During the battle, she can be seen fighting the newborns with Carlisle as her partner.

At the end of the battle, Esme and Carlisle find an intimidated newborn, Bree Tanner , and offer her asylum in exchange for surrender. She agrees immediately. When Jasper tells them that the Volturi are coming, and that their protection over the newborn will cause them more trouble, Esme and Carlisle insist that they should do their best to help the girl and manage to talk him into letting her live.

However, despite their attempt, she is still executed by Felix on Jane 's command. Esme and the Denali coven in Breaking Dawn. At the beginning of Breaking Dawn , Esme is present at Bella and Edward 's wedding, and helps Bella to change into her going-away outfit after the ceremony and reception party. As a wedding present, she allows the newlyweds to stay on Isle Esme , a small island off the coast of Rio de Janeiro that Carlisle presented her with years ago, for their honeymoon.

When Bella becomes pregnant, with her and Edward returning to Forks, Esme sides with Rosalie and Emmett to protect Bella and her baby, something that also affects Carlisle. She is affectionate towards Jacob and his pack when they break away from Sam's pack to protect her daughter-in-law, and she and Carlisle especially are extremely grateful for their sacrifice.

Esme provides Jacob and his pack with clean clothes and food, and offers to let them sleep in the beds in the Cullens' house, though most of them would decline. While Renesmee is unborn, the pack prepares to attack them to prevent the baby from being born for fear of what the baby might be able to do. While the Cullens suffer starvation, Esme does her best to care for her family and Jacob's pack. As Bella's pregnancy nears its end, Esme accompanies Carlisle and Emmett in escaping the pack's observation.

Esme gets caught and almost attacked by Brady Fuller and Collin Littlesea , but Emmett and Carlisle come to her rescue. They return in time to prevent the pack from killing the rest of their family, and then await Bella's conversion into a vampire.

For Bella's nineteenth birthday, Esme and the rest of the Cullens give her and Edward a little cottage in the forest that they renovated. There is an extra room which Esme hadn't found a use for, which later became Renesmee's bedroom. She also gives Bella guidance about how to act human in order to prepare her for Charlie's confrontation.

Esme and Carlisle find Kebi and Amun. Three months after Renesmee's birth, Irina mistakes her for an immortal child and reports this breach of vampire law to the Volturi. Esme is devastated when two of her children, Alice and Jasper, leave without notice, and is led to believe that they had abandoned them all.

She and her family then gather a large number of vampire friends to be their witnesses, testifying that Renesmee is not an immortal child but a half-human, half-vampire hybrid.

After a brief confrontation with the Volturi, Jasper and Alice return with another hybrid to prove their case, though they are able to prove that Renesmee is not dangerous, and the Italian vampires leave in peace.

As their group celebrates their victory, Esme opens her arms to welcome Alice and Jasper back into her family. Once the threat has passed, the Cullens are able to return to their normal lives. Physically, Esme is the oldest member in the Cullen family, being changed at the age of She was described to be extremely beautiful, to the extent where she reminded Bella of "the ingenues of the silent-movie era" , and meeting her was like "meeting a fairy tale—Snow White, in the flesh" : a heart-shaped face with a warm compassionate look, billows of soft caramel-colored hair, delicate eyebrows, and a small, slender figure that was less angular and more rounded compared to the rest of her family she was changed not long after giving birth to her son.

Her human eye color was brown. Esme is an extremely warm individual who is gifted with the ability to love the people around her passionately. She has always had strong maternal instincts, which is why she is able to open her heart so easily to her adoptive children and Bella. This is due to the death of her first and only child when he was only a few days old, during her human life. She is described as being as intelligent as her husband, and a very kind and gentle person. The people around her are genuinely drawn toward her gentle personality.

Esme is also very creative and artistic, and enjoys renovating old properties. Throughout her years as a vampire, she has studied and earned degrees in architecture, art, and photography. Upon her transformation, Esme did not develop any special talents like Edward's telepathy , Alice's ability to see the future or Jasper's ability to control emotions.

However, her ability to show passionate love to the people around her was enhanced as with all emotions after the transformation and this has become her most prominent feature throughout the series. This is probably due to her loving nature - meaning she most likely hasn't had to fight much in her life. However, Esme should not be underestimated in battle, as Eclipse showed she is more than capable of fighting if needs be.
