First update!

Well, we’ve been up for almost a day now and we already have an update and a correction.  Our first update comes in the mythology section on strength.  Check it out when you get a chance.

Also, we found out that the e-mail address given for the lexicon wasn’t working.  We have corrected the problem and you can now send us e-mails.  I apologize for any trouble this caused any of you. 

Thank you all for the feedback thus far.  I’m so glad fans are enjoying this as much as we have!  Feel free to use the comments link here on the main page and share your thoughts with us.

strength

The ability to use superhuman strength is one of the characteristics that set vampires apart. Edward’s physical strength is seen in stark contrast to the fragility of human Bella: "You are so soft, so fragile. I have to mind my actions every moment that we’re together so that I don’t hurt you. I could kill you quite easily, Bella, simply by accident… I could reach out, meaning to touch your face, and crush your skull by mistake." (TW14)

 His strength leads to one of the tensions in his relationship with Bella, namely that he can never let down his guard for fear he will either accidentally hurt her, or let his vampiric nature seize the blood he so desires. He can certainly move her effortlessly, as we see when he carries her to the school nurse, "as easily as if I weighed ten pounds instead of a hundred and ten." (TW5) Edward’s strength can be most clearly seen in the incident where he saves Bella from Tyler’s truck. Not only is he not injured himself but he even forces the metal out of the way by the pressure he exerts on it. "I had seen the" very distinct dent that fit the contours of Edward’s shoulders…as if he had braced himself against the car with enough force to damage the metal frame." (TW3)

Yet, Edward’s "iron strength" (TW13) is nothing compared with what it would have been after Carlisle first changed him. Meyer states that: "New vampires are also immensely strong for their first year of life, also a product of the excess of blood left in the body." (PC1) This would imply that a vampire’s strength dips before a feed, and their energy/strength levels are refuelled by hunting. When asked about this, Stephenie Meyer explained that hunting makes a "minimal difference" (PC5) to the physical strength levels of a vampire, as even a thirsty vampire is capable of great feats of physical strength. Stephenie Meyer is clear that vampire strength is very much dependent on the individual. Emmett was colossally strong as a human, and even more so as a vampire, but each individual vampire has their own personal range. However, it’s important to remember that, "skill is going to count more than strength," (PC5) so an experienced vampire could still outwit a newborn one in a fight.

A vampire’s diet does not have a massive impact on the levels of strength. "Human blood does make them stronger than animal blood, but only fractionally. Big game (bears, wildcats, predators) makes them stronger than the "weaker" blood of herd animals." (PC5) Ultimately, physical strength is always going to come down to the individual vampire, rather than secondary factors like their diet. Strength, of course, isn’t always physical. It is impossible for a vampire to die through physical starvation (TW15), but what the lack of blood intake does alter is a vampire’s mental state. After Carlisle realised that he had become a vampire, he tried to destroy himself. "He grew very hungry and very weak. He strayed as far as he could from the human populace, recognising that his willpower was weakening too." (TW15)

 Vampires are less capable of acting with rational thought, and therefore more likely to act through their natural animal instincts when they are thirsty. This explains why Bella is in so much danger when Edward hasn’t been hunting. Edward does show an inner strength in resisting the lure of Bella’s blood. Edward admits that at times he wondered if he was "strong enough" (TW14) to resist his natural urges. Finally, his inner strength comes to the fore as he admits "I couldn’t live with myself if I ever hurt you." (TW13)

Victoria

Full Name: Victoria

Status: Vampire

Date of Birth:

Originally from:

Hair color: “Brilliant orange” (TW18)

Eye color: Vampire burgundy (TW18)

Height:

Physical description: Bella describes her as “wild” and “chaotic” with a “distinctly feline” posture, and says that she has eyes that “flickered edgily.” (TW18) Her voice was “high and singsong, like a little girl’s” (BT), a “babyish soprano tinkling” (EC24)

Occupation:

Family members: A member of James’ coven and his mate (NM10)

Nick Names:

Hobbies:

Personal history: Victoria first appeared with James and Laurent in the forest near the Cullen household as the group played baseball during a thunderstorm. When James chose to hunt Bella for sport, Victoria helped him. Jasper realized that Victoria would fight with James if needed (TW19). Victoria followed Esme, who was wearing Bella’s clothes to confuse the trail (TW20) . Victoria was able to do some research for James. She informed him where Bella’s mother lived and that Edward was traveling to Phoenix (TW22).

Victoria returned to the Washington State area frequently after James’ death. Victoria instructed Laurent to do some reconnaissance work for her so that she could kill Bella in revenge for killing her mate, James. (NM10) Victoria wanted to torture Bella before killing her but Laurent planned to kill Bella himself because he was thirsty and tell Victoria afterwards that he fulfilled her mission. Jacob and the rest of the werewolves destroy Laurent before he can attack Bella. Jacob was pleased to learn about Victoria because the information helped the pack with their plans to stop her (NM13).

When Bella jumped off the cliff to reconnect with Edward’s voice, she saw “fire” on the water (NM16) which might have been Victoria lurking nearby – if this was true, only Jacob’s presence saved Bella from death. Victoria was foiled again.

Victoria appeared to have a special talent for self-preservation and survival. She was a master manipulator and very evasive (SM interview #6 TST) Victoria continued to patrol the area near Forks in the hopes of ambushing Bella. While Bella was in Florida visiting her mother, Victoria caused a skirmish between the Cullens and the Quileute werewolves (EC3) – in her “instinct for evasion”, she ran along the boundary line, and prevented her pursuers from catching her.  In Bella’s final year of high school, Victoria also spent a great deal of time in Seattle, Washington. Sometime after James’ demise, she created a new vampire, Riley. With his help, Victoria created an army of newborn vampires. She kept her identity secret from all of her recent creations, so that she would avoid detection. (BT) Some of the vampires Victoria created included Diego, Fred, Bree, Kevin, Raoul, Kristie, Jen, Shelly, Steve, Doug, Adam, Sara, Heather, Jim, Logan, Warren, Dean, and Bree. (BT) Riley reported to Victoria on the status of the army via phone and clandestine visits to her secret hideaway. (BT)  During one of these meetings, Victoria and Riley were surprised by a visit from a small group of Volturi, who interrogated Victoria on her plans for her army. She was allowed to escape punishment temporarily from the Volturi once she promised that she would act within a few days against the Cullen clan. (BT)

Riley loved Victoria, but Bree (who, with Diego, spied on the duo in the forest) felt that when she originally heard Victoria and Riley talk, when she was transformed into a vampire, that “she [Victoria] hadn’t sounded like she was talking to her lover or even her friend. More like she was talking to an employee. One she didn’t like much and might fire soon” (BT) This became clear  when Riley and Victoria found Edward and Bella on the mountain during the newborn army attack (EC24). Edward told Riley that Victoria did not love him and that Victoria lied to everyone to get her own way. When Riley was ripped apart by Seth the werewolf, she “spared Riley no farewell glance”. Edward decapitated Victoria and burned her body so she would never return.

James

Full Name: James

Status: Vampire

Date of Birth:

Originally from:

Hair color: Light brown (TW18)

Eye color: Vampire burgundy

Height:

Physical description: Slighter than Laurent, regular features, very non-descript. (TW18) with a cat-like gait and “vigilant” eyes. His voice was “tenor, pleasant, generic”. (TW21)

Occupation: Tracker/Hunter

Family members:  Leader of Laurent and Victoria

Nick Names:

Hobbies: Hunting humans who are favorites of vampires.

Personal history: James was a lethal and cunning vampire.  James was “not used to being thwarted” (TW19) and lived for the thrill of the hunt. He fed from humans and enjoyed tracking humans that drew the attention of other vampires.  (TW22)

James was in Biloxi, Mississippi sometime around 1919 or 1920 and came upon a vampire who worked in a mental institution and had grown fond of a young, female patient.  James made it his task to kill the girl, but before he could reach her, the other vampire changed the girl, making it useless for James to kill her.  That girl was Alice Cullen. (TW22)

In 2005, when James saw how protective Edward and the Cullens are of Bella, he instantly wanted to kill her for the sport of it.  He followed her to her house, where he overheard Bella’s harsh fake-farewell words to her father. (TW19). He eventually set a trap for Bella in Phoenix, drawing her out of hiding by using her mother’s voice as bait.  He wounded Bella almost fatally, breaking some ribs, her leg, and a cut on her head.  He also bit her hand, sending venom into her system. (TW22)

When the Cullens arrive and find Bella in such a state, Emmett and Jasper grab James and rip him to shreds.  They then proceed to burn the remains, ensuring that James never harms another living soul again. (TW23TW24)

Bella remembered James as “the sadistic vampire who wanted to torture me to death” (NM1) and had a physical souvenir of the encounter in the shape of a half-moon shaped scar on her hand.

In March of 2006, Laurent found Bella in the meadow and revealed that James and Victoria had been mates. He also told Bella that Victoria fully intended on getting revenge for James’s death in a very painful fashion. (NM10)

When Edward and Victoria fought on the mountain, Edward claimed that James did not care for Victoria as much as she loved him: “Silly to waste so much energy avenging someone who had less affection for you than a hunter for his mount. You were never more than a convenience to him.” (EC24) Edward also knew that James and Victoria had tracked werewolf-like creatures in Siberia, so it appeared that what Edward said about the depth of James’ devotion to his mate was true.

Status: Vampire

Date of Birth: 1755 – He is around three hundred years old in 2005(TW19)

Family members: A member of James’ coven along with Victoria.

Personal history: Laurent belonged to a nomadic coven of vampires. He was the group spokesperson and only posed as the leader in social situations.  James, Laurent and Victoria overheard the Cullens playing baseball and came to investigate. (TW18) When Bella’s human status was discovered at the game, James decided to hunt Bella, even though Laurent stated that their coven would leave her alone. Laurent returned to the Cullen house, and warned the Cullens about James’ abilities as a tracker.  Intrigued by the life Carlisle and his family lived, bonded only marginally by convenience and safety to James and Victoria, and unwilling to get in the middle of the fight, Laurent left Forks for Denali.  (TW19)

Laurent eventually returned to Forks and met Bella in the meadow. They converse and Laurent mentioned that he liked Tanya and especially Irina, but that he could not maintain the non-human diet. Victoria located Laurent and asked him to find Bella. Laurent was supposed to allow Victoria to kill Bella painfully, since Bella’s Edward had killed Victoria’s mate, James. However, Laurent was thirsty and found Bella by accident. His plans to drink her were stopped by a pack of monstrous wolves. (NM10)  Bella learned that Laurent was killed and dismembered by the Quileute werewolf pack (NM13).
