Tanya from the Twilight Saga, a member of the Denali Coven, was born and transformed into a vampire in the 1000s AD, likely around the year 1000 in Slovakia, making her over a thousand years old, appearing to be in her mid-20s (around 24) as a vampire.
Tanya initially had a "crush" on Edward Cullen, which is shown and described in Midnight Sun and Eclipse. She is portrayed by MyAnna Buring in the movie adaptations of Breaking Dawn.
There are no explicitly LGBTQ+ characters in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight books or films, as the core romance is intensely heteronormative, but the franchise became popular within queer communities due to themes like forbidden love, angst, and aesthetic "gay coding" (like Alice's look), leading fans to create their own interpretations and headcanons for characters like Aro or Carlisle. While some fan theories suggest characters like Aro have attraction to Carlisle, the original text lacks representation, though a gender-swapped retelling (Life and Death) offers a different dynamic.
Tanya is anything but a good guy, she is def a villain not even an anti hero but it's her determination, intelligence, manipulation and flat out refusal to let being X guide her decisions that make her so compelling. She is crazy and very aggressive but she knows what she wants and how to accomplish those ambitions.
It is described by Edward that Aro searched through not only the vision of Bella, but much more, delving deeply into Alice's mind so he ends up "knowing her better than she knows herself." He is described as seeming "enthralled" and "delighted" by her talent, and Edward mentions in Breaking Dawn that there is nothing ...
Her virginity is prized enough to be lost only within the confines of marriage: that is, Bella loses her virginity to Edward on their marriage bed, and it is through his bite that the vampire virus is transmitted to her on her hospital bed, thus saving her from the imminence of her human death and leading to her ...
I think in terms of red flags, Edward acted really possessive and controlling of Bella, either manipulating or outright dictating what is in her best interest (like becoming a vampire, or going down to the Reservation to visit her shapeshifter friend), up until the midpoint of Eclipse where he had a change of mind, ...
Edward had a theory that Bella's overwhelmingly appealing blood may be derived from a mixture of her parents'—Renée's being far too sweet and Charlie's being moderate—together, giving her blood a more powerful appeal. The blood of singers is described by Edward as being said vampire's "own personal brand of heroin".
New Moon. New Moon begins on Bella's 18th birthday. She has a dream where she looks like her late grandmother while her vampire boyfriend, Edward Cullen, is still young.
Renesmee (pronounced Ruh-nez-may) Carlie Cullen was born on September 11, 2006 to Bella Swan and Edward Cullen.
Why The Twilight Movies Turned Down A Taylor Swift Cameo. Back in 2009, when Taylor Swift only had one Grammy for Album of the Year, she really wanted to join the "Twilight" franchise — but the team behind the vampire saga apparently turned her down. Why? She was simply too famous, even then.
Edward builds a growing attraction to Bella, but after saving her life on several occasions, he succumbs and eventually falls in love with her. Edward admits to Bella that he is a vampire, and that although he retains the physical body of a seventeen-year-old, he was actually born on June 20, 1901.
Carlisle was turned by a random vampire in the 1600's (his father was a pastor who led hunts). Alice has a very long and tragic backstory which boils down to the fact that james caught her scent and was chasing after her while she was institutionalized at a mental asylum.

Manny: Craig (expressly said to be her first). Spinner: Manny (This kinda shocked me when it was revealed In High Fidelity that Manny was his first. I thought for sure Paige and him hooked up).
The author argues the lead male character Edward Cullen is a CP and that the representation is problematic. The book's main female character, Bella Swan, becomes completely dependent on Edward, desires him in part because he seems unattainable, and is willing to die and live a life of predation in order to be with him.
Throughout the months of uncomfortable silence, Rosalie reveals dislike toward Bella, detested by the idea that Edward found Bella attractive over her. However, a firmer reason is the fact that Bella is human, which reminds Rosalie of what she could never have.
