Bella shows determination and is willing to go to the extreme to get what she wants. In New Moon, Edward Cullen played by Robert Pattinson breaks Bella’s heart by leaving for Italy. Bella hops on the plane to Italy is that extreme.. probably so for a young girl especially knowing her love interest is a vampire.

Stewarts says during the Los Angeles premiere:

“Be extreme,” “Go for it. I think that’s the point. I know that this is a movie about immortality and mortality but, like, you live once.”

“She [Bella] has a lot of really innate female qualities,” Stewart said. “For a character in literature, I think it’s awesome that so many girls can look up to her, because she’s fickle and unabashedly (so).” – via Reuters

Anyone watching New Moon this weekend? I am! Do you think Bella sets a good example for young girls?
