| - In this series, a few vampires have "special abilities" or powers. It can be a useless power like compassion (Ma-Ti) or an interesting power like the ability to destroy all human senses (sight, taste, smell, touch, hearing, etc) like Alec. Few of these work on Bella because she is SPESHUL; Jasper, Alice, and Marcus are effective against her, but apparently no one else was.

Few of these work on Bella because she is SPESHUL; Jasper, Alice, and Marcus are effective against her, but apparently no one else was. According to Edward's (?) theory, salient personality traits one had as a human are augmented when one is vamped, turning these traits into powers. For example, Jasper might have been very empathetic and persuasive as a human, so as a vampire, he can sense feelings and alter them. Edward may have been very perceptive, so as a vampire he can read minds. Alice might have been schizophrenic as a human, which explains....actually not a whole heck of a lot. And of course, since Bella was clumsy, her transformation made her super-graceful, even for a vampire. This theory is of course flawed in its suggestion that any of the Cullens have ever had salient personality traits.
