Character Analysis

I think there should be a character analysis for Bella, describing her personality and such. Anyone want to do it? What kind of things should we say in the analysis? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.100.18.232 (talk) 15:53, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bella or Isabella?

While personally I think it should list her real name, and can use her nickname for the rest of the article, I'd like to hear other opinions. Most fictional character articles list the REAL NAME of the character, not their nickname, as the name of the article. Just wanting to hear other opinions.

You can have my opinon: You're doing perfectly fine. Considering that the books only mention her real name once in a while, I think it would be perfectly fine to use use 'Bella' throughout the article. Bella 22:08, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Edit Suggestions

This part of the article, where it mentions Bella's birthday part at the Cullens', makes it sound like there was more than one vampire besides Jasper that came after Bella when she received the paper cut. I don't have any suggestions on how to fix this, so that's why I'm asking now if anyone has an idea on how to fix it.

Also, in this part of the article, where it mentions her hair color as dark brown, I remember somewhere in the book mentioning that Bella has mahogany hair, based on Mike Newton's observance of her hair having a slight tint of red in the light. It could have been just a fancy, descriptive word that Bella or Edward uses, but I think it should be changed. Spottedstar 14:10, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Linnea Pugmire?

I have searched extensively on the internet for the actress that this article claims Stephenie Meyer has named as an ideal Bella, and there is no Linnea Pugmire anywhere except for an eighth grader at Lakeridge Junior High School. I am going to remove this until some citation has been stated. I have, however, read on Stephenie Meyer's website that she does prefer Emily Browning, Ellen Page, and Danielle Panabaker, so I will leave that be.

I am pretty sure that that was an experimentinf IP who did that- I think I reverted an edit about her somewhere else on this page too.... Bella Swan_(Talk!) 02:38, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I go to school with Linnea and last year she did meet Stephenie Meyer... I hope this helps. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.8.71.137 (talk) 22:57, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Eclipse

Someone put that Bella becomes a vampire at the end of Eclipse. Bella did not become a vampire by the end of Eclipse. could someone please fix that? Yukisora 01:29, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think we need to add more to the eclipse section. Its a bit...lacking. i can work on it when I'm finished with the book in about...two days. I've got to read it, first. Sophiakorichi 01:22, 29 August 2007 (UTC)Sophiakorichi[reply]

I agree. I would help with that, but unfortunately, I suck at making summaries. So if someone would type up the basic summary layout for the book, I'd be happy to oblige with adding a few other things as well. Spottedstar 01:17, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In-verse tag

I just tagged the article with a fictional-universe tag. It's not a major problem, just needs a little tweaking to make it an encyclopedic article without merely repeating the plotline of the books as though explaining the life-and-times of the character as though she were a real person. Any information on influences for character development, external reviews, that sort of thing would be great. Annie D (talk) 10:07, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Somebody also seemed to add a 'too-long' tag. I was wondering what specifically someone thought was too long, just so I can get a heads-up of what to fix. ~ Bella Swan 22:17, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I added the too-long tag.

I think the summaries of each book are far too long, and are more suitable to be on the pages for the books themselves. While the details may be important to describing the character of Bella, I think it could be summarized in a much more brief way.

Some of the details aren't very relevant to Bella, and it's just a bit too in-depth for a wiki article that isn't even about the books.

If you haven't read the books, it is nice to read to feel more acquainted with them, but the in-depthness of it just isn't appropriate for this particular article. CherryFlavoredAntacid (talk) 22:41, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
