Detailed description of Charlie Swan


Charlie Swan

Charlie Swan is the father of Bella Swan and works as a police officer in Forks. His hobbies include fishing with Harry Clearwater and Billy Black, as well as watching various sports on TV. Charlie married Bella's mother, Renée, just after they both graduated high school and they soon had Bella. Renée divorced Charlie not long after and moved to Phoenix, Arizona, with Bella. Charlie was still in love with her, but had gotten past the fact that she didn't love him anymore. He became accustomed to living alone, except when Bella started to visit him in the summer. When Bella is seventeen, she moves to Forks to live with him. Initially, Charlie is accepting of Edward as his daughter's boyfriend, but after the events of New Moon he blames Edward for the deep depression that Bella went into after he left her. Charlie is grateful to Jacob because he was a great friend to Bella during that difficult time, and he makes it clear that he'd rather Bella choose Jacob over Edward. At the end of Eclipse, Bella and Edward agree to tell Charlie about their engagement. At the beginning of Breaking Dawn, he is shown to have reluctantly agreed to the marriage. Charlie stays in Bella's life after her transformation, though he is never informed that she is a vampire. At the end of Breaking Dawn, he and Sue Clearwater have developed a romantic relationship. Charlie is portrayed by Billy Burke in the Twilight film.

No-one gives Charlie enough credit. If he Wasn't there, there would be no story... No Bella & Edward... did anyone stop and think of that? what happned if he didn't live in Forks? what would hapen if say... he lived in England. If you agree that he dosn't get enough credit, put your' name on the list i am hoping to make.
