Bree Tanner

Bree was a member of Victoria's newborn army that attacked the Cullen clan of vampires. She met Diego while hunting one night, and the two formed a romantic bond.

Early Life
Bree was born in Nevada and lived with her mother and abusive father. After years of beating his wife, Bree's father murdered her one night. He took the body out in the dessert and buried it, but Bree was left with him. They moved to Idaho where he was still cruel, but now to Bree. Finally, a few weeks before becoming a vampire, she ran away from her home. She slept in parks and alleyways, anywhere that felt even the least bit hospitable. And then one night, Riley found her and brought her to Victoria to be turned into a vampire.

Vampire Life
When Bree was tranformed, she didn't likeher fellow vampires. Many of them made her mad, and so she tended to avoid them. But often, she was involved in fights and became a very sensitive person, always thinking someone was mad at her. When she met Diego, all these feelings went away and she was closer to happy than she'd ever been. They spent many nights together, and one night they overheard their creator, Victoria, talking to the Volturi about the newborns she had created. That morning, Diego told Riley that he discovered sunlight doesn't affect vampires like they'd thought, but he was killed by Victoria.

The Battle at the Clearing
When the battle began, Bree knew that the "yellow eyes" were much more powerful than they were told by Riley. She surrendered, and the Cullens said they would spare her life if she didn't fight or kill Bella, the only human there at the time. She struggled, but made it until the Volturi came. Jane decided that they shouldn't let Bree go, and had Felix kill her.
