1. Crow
   Lake
2. Stewart
   Swan

The name "Bella Swan" implies both beauty and grace. Bella (short for Isabella) is lovely, but far from graceful. She's notably uncoordinated.

1. Los Angeles
   Phoenix
2. New York
   Seattle

The city of Phoenix was probably chosen as Bella's hometown for contrast. It's hot and dry, while Forks is one of the wettest towns in America.

1. she's getting into trouble with the law in Phoenix
   she doesn't get along with her mother
2. she doesn't get along with her new stepfather
   her mother and new stepfather need to travel for his work

Bella likes both her mother and Phil, her stepfather. But he's in minor-league baseball, and Renee wants to travel with him. So Bella moves to her father's home in Washington State.

1. diner cook
   librarian
2. police chief
   he is unemployed

In the novels, Charlie is a more laid-back, gentle guy, described in one scene as slightly overweight. Actor Billy Burke brought an surly, tactiturn edge to the role. (He's also not overweight).

1. Angela
   Eric
2. Jessica
   Mike

Eric Yorkie falls into step with Bella, introduces himself, and offers to be her "tour guide, lunch date, shoulder to cry on" -- all before she gets to her first class. As anyone who ever transferred into a new school can tell you, this instant appearance of a super-friendly fellow student does NOT happen in real life.

1. Arizona
   Izzy
2. Paleface
   Sweetheart

Mike flirts pretty relentlessly with Bella. It's a pattern that will continue in "New Moon," after Edward leaves Forks and Bella is back on the market.

1. love
   fate
2. her own death
   whether to become a vampire

"Twilight" opens with a voice-over by Bella, who says she never gave much thought to the circumstances of her own death, but that "dying in place of someone I love" is acceptable to her. As illustration, we see a doe in a forest being brought down by a predator.

1. Anna Kendrick
   Michelle Trachtenberg
2. Emma Watson
   Emma Stone

Kendrick has called her character an "idiot," and we can't entirely blame her. Jessica is a foil for the moody Bella and the more serious-minded Angela, Bella's other close friend.

1. she reminds him of his maker
   her blood smells too tantalizing
2. she smells like Jacob Black, a werewolf
   he thinks she is too dumb to be a good lab partner

Edward acts as though Bella smells bad, inching away from her, and later tries to drop their shared biology class. Why he later is able to resist her scent -- and spend long periods of time with her -- is never really explained.

1. Isaac
   Laurent
2. Peter
   Tyler

Laurent was played by Edi Gathegi. You might know him from a turn as a devout Mormon med student on "House M.D." or as "Darwin" in "X-Men: First Class."

1. he never eats or drinks
   she sees him scale a redwood in 5 seconds
2. he fends off a crashing van with one hand
   his skin is too pale

Bella is nearly hit by a van before Edward jumps in and saves her. She realizes that he was too far away to reach her in time, in addition to stopping the van just by putting a hand out.

1. she can turn invisible
   she can time-travel
2. she can see the future
   she can heal people

Though it isn't explained in the first movie, Jasper also has a supernatural power. He can influence the emotions of people around him. (Does he hire out? We'd love to have him around just to make us feel better after rotten days!)

1. doctor
   lawyer
2. private investor
   research scientist

Carlisle's job clearly demonstrates his self-control, as he spends time around bleeding people every day. His job also allowed him to save Edward from dying of the Spanish Influenza.

1. Alice
   Emmet
2. Jasper
   Rosalie

Rosalie seems to instantly dislike Bella. This is explained in later movies, but at first, Rosalie just seems to be a classic "queen bee" type.

1. Seattle
   La Push
2. Port Angeles, Washington
   Portland, Oregon

Port Angeles is the nearest sizable city to Forks. Bella only wants to go to find a book on Quileute legends. She doesn't plan to go to prom.

1. a yellow Porsche
   a silver Volvo
2. an old red Chevy truck
   a Jeep

Edward proves himself a skilled driver when he slews his Volvo around a corner at high speed, confronting a group of men threatening Bella. Well, he's probably been through driver's ed a number of times!

1. at Billy's house
   in her bedroom
2. at La Push beach
   while hunting for motorcycle parts

At this point, Jacob who is not in touch with his werewolf heritage, laughs off the idea of the Quileutes being descended from wolves and having a grudge against the "cold ones." But Bella, after seeing the gory results of an "animal attack," has her doubts.

1. apotamkin
   incubus
2. millarca
   lamia

"Apotamkin" is a monster from Native American mythology. "Lamia" is another name for vampires, while an "incubus" is a male demon that has sex with human females. "Millarca" was one of the names that Sheridan LeFanu's "Carmilla" went by in the classic short story.

1. 108 years
   200 years
2. "Seventeen."
   "I wish you wouldn't ask me that."

Bella knows he's a vampire, but he is initially evasive. When she asks him how long he's been seventeen, he says, "A while."

1. 98 years
   108 years
2. 225 years
   about a thousand years

Since "Twilight" came out in 2008, this means that Edward "died" in 1918. He tells Bella that he would have died of Spanish flu had Carlisle not cured him.

1. in her bedroom at night
   on the cliffs over La Push beach
2. in a heartfelt letter
   in the woods behind the school

On arriving at school, Bella simply walks off into the woods and Edward follows; neither of them report to class. Forks High seems to have no penalties for truancy -- the Cullens are evidently free to skip school any time the sun is out. Speaking of which ...

1. because they'll start smoldering
   because they sparkle in the light
2. because they have a fatal reaction to Vitamin D
   because they go instantly blind

No aspect of the "Twilight" series got author Stephenie Meyer more grief than this one. "Sparkle vampires" became the emblem of everything wrong with romantic young-adult vampire fiction.

1. abstemious
   low-cal
2. hemoglobin-free
   vegetarian

Of course, "hemoglobin-free" wouldn't describe an animal-blood-only diet, as animal blood has hemoglobin too. Nor would it necessarily be lower-calorie than human blood.

1. Esme
   Jasper
2. Rosalie
   Alice

One of the Cullens calls him "our newest vegetarian." This refers to the amount of time he's abstained from human blood, not his age overall. Jasper is later revealed to more than 150 years old, having fought in the Civil War.

1. that he's always liked the Cullens
   that he wishes she'd date Jacob
2. that Edward is a little old for her
   that she's too young to date at all

Of course, he's right. But Bella points out that Edward is "17," just like her.

1. baseball
   cricket
2. footraces
   archery

The Cullens play baseball whenever there's a thunderstorm. The peals of thunder disguise the very loud noises made when the Cullens connect the bat with the ball.

1. Alice
   Emmet
2. Esme
   Carlisle

This seems odd: Pitchers need to be tall, and Alice is described as the shortest of the Cullens, a "sprite." (Though in life, Ashley Greene is a half-foot taller than Alice).

1. James
   Laurent
2. Victoria
   they all do

For James, hunting Edward's mate will be entertaining sport, as Edward explains to Bella. It's the milder-mannered Laurent who betrays James by warning the Cullens about him.

1. Port Angeles
   Jacksonville
2. Phoenix
   the Quileute reservation

If only she'd known about the Quileute werewolves and their vampire-killing chops, she might have run in that direction, and been more safe. Instead, Bella heads south, with Jasper and Alice accompanying her.

1. a ballet studio
   the ballroom of a Phoenix hotel
2. the hotel's rooftop
   the desert outside Phoenix

Afterward, the director vowed never again to shoot in a room full of mirrors. There's almost nowhere to put the camera crew so their reflection won't appear in the footage.

1. Emmet
   Edward
2. Alice
   Laurent

While Jasper and Emmet prepared a fire to burn James's body, and they who hold him still, it's Alice who leaps on him and fatally twists his neck. (It's always the quiet ones!)

1. Mike and Edward
   Edward and Jacob
2. Mike and Eric
   Mike, Eric and Edward

Bella attracts a lot of male attention in Forks. But Jacob can't ask her to the Forks High prom since he goes to school on the reservation.

1. ask Bella to break up with Edward
   take Bella to prom instead of Edward
2. flatten the tires on Edward's car
   keep a watch on the festivities

Billy pays his son $20 to relay the request -- and the warning that the Quileutes will be watching to see that she does. Several things are odd about this scene. First, Bella laughs off the request instead of getting angry. Second, Jacob seems to think this 60-second meeting requires him to put on a necktie, even though he leaves right afterward.

1. Kimberly Peirce
   Catherine Hardwicke
2. James Mangold
   James Wan

For a time, "Twilight" held the distinction of being the highest-earning film directed by a woman. Women also wrote the screenplay and the source novel -- Melissa Rosenberg and Stephenie Meyer, respectively.

1. Billy Burke
   Cam Gigandet
2. Ashley Greene
   both #1 and #2

Burke is from Bellingham, and Gigandet was born in Tacoma. Ashley Greene was born in Jacksonville, Florida -- which, incidentally, is where Bella's mother and stepfather settle in "Twilight."
