Renesmee "Nessie" Carlie Cullen is the half-vampire, half-human daughter of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan, first seen in Breaking Dawn. Her name is derived from the amalgamation of the names of Bella's biological mother, Renée, and Edward's adoptive mother, Esme. Her middle name, Carlie, is a combination of the names Carlisle, Edward's adoptive father, and Charlie, Bella's biological father. She has the same facial features and hair color as Edward, but the curly hair of her grandfather, Charlie Swan, and the brown eyes of Bella. Jacob Black gave her the nickname "Nessie" because he considers her full name too much of a mouthful; by the end of the book, all of the characters have adopted this shortened version. She has pale skin that glows instead of sparkling in the sunlight. Her heart pumps blood, giving her a blush. Renesmee can survive on both blood and human food, but prefers human blood. She does not have venom. Her special abilities are that she is able to send someone a memory by touching their face, and she can break any mental shield. Renesmee grows at a fast rate, being able to speak only 7 days after birth. She will reach physical maturity after 7 years and will then stop aging.
After realizing that her period was late, and finding a lump in her belly, she realizes she is pregnant with Edward's child. The two travel home, where Edward tries convincing her to abort the baby. Determined to keep it, Bella refuses. It grows at an extremely fast rate and bruises Bella whenever it moves. It rejects human food, so Bella drinks donated hospital blood to survive. Edward listens to its thoughts, and he grows to care about it when he realizes that it is fond for both of its parents. Bella goes into labor sooner than expected. She loses a lot amounts of blood, which forces Edward to rip the child out of her body and inject her with venom, changing her into a vampire and saving her life. It is soon discovered that Jacob Black has imprinted on Renesmee, and given her the nickname "Nessie". Irina, a vampire from another coven, sees Renesmee one day and believes she is an "immortal child", who had been bitten by a vampire. She tells the Volturi, as immortal children are not allowed to live. Intent on killing Renesmee, the Volturi travel to Forks. However, the Cullen family gathers witnesses from all around the world to prove that Renesmee is not an immortal child. Alice brings another half-breed, Nahuel, who explains what they are. No longer seeing Renesmee as a threat, the Volturi leaves.
