Bella Swan was written as someone who felt ordinary but still managed to attract attention through her natural charm and quiet personality. The book emphasized her awkwardness, but it was balanced by her ability to connect with others, especially Edward. Kristen Stewart’s version leaned further into the awkwardness, often making Bella seem uncomfortable in her own skin. Instead of coming off as relatable, Stewart’s performance sometimes felt stilted, with pauses and sighs that made her seem detached rather than shy. Her body language, like biting her lip or fidgeting, emphasized nervousness but also made her look unsure of herself in ways that felt exaggerated.
