Edward Cullen is a gorgeous fictional character from Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series. He features in the books
Twilight, New Moon,Eclipse and Breaking Dawn, as well as the Twilight film, and the as yet unfinished novel Midnight Sun - a re-telling of
the events of Twilight from Edward's perspective. Edward is a vampire who, over the course of the Twilight series, falls in love with,
marries, and has a child with Bella Swan,a human teenager who later chooses to become a vampire also.

Like all the vampires in the Twilight series, Edward is described by Bella as being impossibly beautiful. At various points in the series, she 
compares him to the mythical Greek god Adonis. His skin is "like marble" very pale, ice cold, and sparkles in the sunlight. She describes his
facial features as being perfect and angularhigh cheekbones, strong jawline, a straight nose, and full lips. His hair, which is always messy,
retains the unusual bronze shade that he inherited in his human life from his biological mother. His eyes, once green, are now described as topaz.
His appearance changes if he goes long without feeding: his eyes darken, becoming almost black, and purple bruises appear beneath his eyes. Edward
is 6'2", and has a slender but muscular body.

Edward, like all vampires in the Twilight series, possesses superhuman strength, speed, endurance, and agility, and is described as being inhumanly 
beautiful. His scent and voice are enormously seductive to Bella, so much so that he occasionally sends her into a pliant daze entirely by accident.
In Twilight, Edward explains that like other vampires, he does not need to breathe, though he chooses to do so out of habit and because it is helpful
to smell his environment. He cannot digest regular food, and compares its attractiveness for him to the prospect of eating dirt for a regular person.
As well, like other vampires, Edward is not able to sleep.

In addition to the traits he shares with his fellow vampires, Edward has certain abilities that are his alone. He is the fastest of the Cullens, able
to outrun any of them. Perhaps as a result of a talent for empathy in his human life, Edward can also read the mind of anyone within a few miles of
himself;Bella is the sole exception to this rule, which Meyer has stated is due to Bella having a very private mind.Edward also retains some of the 
traditional mindset and dated patterns of speech from his early-20th century human life.

Edward is musical, able to play the piano like a virtuoso. He enjoys a wide range of music, including classical, jazz, progressive metal, alternative 
rock, and punk rock, but dislikes country. He prefers indie rock to mainstream, and appreciates rock and classical music equally.[8] He mentions in 
Twilight that he likes music from the fifties better than the sixties, dislikes the seventies, and says the eighties were "bearable".
A hobby of Edward's is collecting cars.He owns a Volvo S60 R and an Aston Martin V12 Vanquish as a "special occasion" car. He also gave his sister 
Alice a Porsche 911 Turbo as a gift in Eclipse. He bought a motorcycle to ride alongside Bella, but gave it to Jasper after he realized that riding 
motorcycles was a hobby she enjoyed sharing with Jacob.
