Renesmee Carlie Cullen is a character from the Twilight series. She is the human-vampire hybrid daughter of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan. She is the imprintee/future mate of Jacob Black.
She is portrayed by Mackenzie Foy who played Clara Stahlbaum in Disney's Nutcracker and the four realms. Christie Burke plays Renesmee as a teen (in the imprinting scene vision) and young woman (Alices 7 years future vision).
Appearance[]
Renesmee has the same facial features and hair color as Edward, but has curly hair inherited from her grandfather, Charlie Swan, and brown eyes like Bella. Her heart pumps blood, giving her a blush, and her pale skin slightly glows in sunlight. Her skin is warm and soft to the touch, but it is as strong as a vampire's. Only minutes after she is born, she is imprinted upon by Jacob Black, who becomes her soul mate and acts as an older brother figure to her.
She rapidly grows both mentally and physically, is able to speak only seven days after her birth, and by the end of the novel can read, run, hunt, and perform other tasks at advanced levels for her young age. Her intelligence stuns everyone, and she is able to understand what is happening around her when the Volturi arrive. Jacob nicknames her "Nessie" because he considers her full name to be a mouthful, though Bella strongly dislikes her child being nicknamed "after the Loch Ness Monster." By the book's end, however, all of the characters have adopted this shortened version. She will reach physical maturity after about seven years, when her appearance will be around 17, and then stop aging.
History[]
Breaking Dawn[]
She is born on September 10, three days before Bella's nineteenth birthday. When she is only minutes old she is imprinted on by her Moms best friend, Werewolf shape-shifter Jacob Black. This releases Jacob from his heartbreak of not having Bella as his Sweetheart and makes a permanent alliance between the wolves and the Cullen’s since it’s forbidden for a imprintee to be harmed. Since she was in infant when she was imprinted on Jacob only acts as her protector and best friend, When she is fully grown she will be in a relationship with Jacob, as it’s seen in a vision from her Aunt Alice.
Weeks after Renesmee is born, Irina, a vampire from the Denali coven, sees Renesmee and believes she is an "immortal child", a young human child who had been changed into a vampire. She informs the Volturi, as immortal children are not permitted to exist due to their unpredictable nature. Intent on killing Renesmee and the other Cullens, the Volturi travel to Forks. The Cullens gather witnesses from around the world to testify that they have seen her mature and grow, and so she is therefore not an immortal child. Alice brings another half-breed, 150-year-old Nahuel, who explains that half-breeds pose no danger to the vampires. Convinced that Renesmee is not a threat, the Volturi leave, and Renesmee and her family are left in peace. Alice has a vision 7 years into the future of a fully mature Renesmee in a happy relationship with her mate Jacob and embracing her parents.
