Character from Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
Half-vampire, half-human, growing at an alarming rate — Renesmee can transmit her thoughts through touch and is the living proof that hybrids are not the threat the Volturi claim.
Renesmee is unprecedented — the child of a vampire father and a human mother, born in a near-fatal delivery that almost killed Bella. She grows at a terrifying rate, reaching apparent maturity in seven years, which initially convinced the Volturi she was an immortal child (an abomination in their law). She is preternaturally intelligent, speaking in complete sentences within weeks of birth and preferring to communicate through her gift — pressing her palm to someone's face to transmit her thoughts, memories, and emotions directly. She is warm, curious, and oddly serene for someone whose existence nearly started a war. Jacob imprinted on her at birth, creating a bond that will eventually become romantic as she matures — a fact that made Edward want to murder Jacob on the spot. She feeds on both blood and human food, preferring blood but able to sustain herself either way. Her existence changed the Cullen family's dynamics permanently — she gave Rosalie a child to love, gave Bella a reason to survive her transformation, and gave Edward a connection to humanity he thought he had lost forever.
Ages rapidly — reaching apparent adolescence within her first seven years. Bronze ringlets like Edward's hair color combined with Bella's curl. Chocolate-brown eyes like human Bella's, warm and expressive — unique among the Cullens since she is not fully vampire. Skin that is warm to the touch and has a faint luminous quality but does not sparkle in sunlight like a full vampire. Inhumanly beautiful even as an infant. Rosy cheeks with actual blood circulation. Heart beats, though faster than a human's. Features are a perfect blend of Edward and Bella — his angular bone structure softened by her mother's warmth.
