* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Arguably, Bella's ability to suppress vampires' powers.



* NightmareFetishist: Subverted. On the one hand, Bella only falls in love with monsters and doesn’t even seem happy with the thought of dating a normal boy. On the other hand, Bella does get freaked out a few times in the books, just not as much as an average girl would.



* NiceGirl: Alice is known to be really friendly towards everyone.

to:

* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Alice being able to see the future (Specifically how well it works goes up and down depending on how handy it is or isn't to the plot for her power to work. And not just how well it works at the moment, how well it's ''always'' worked and how much the Cullens have ''always'' depended on it changes to reflect how well it works in any particular scene).* NiceGirl: Alice is known to be really friendly towards everyone.

* MoralMyopia: Victoria's reason for wanting to kill Edward and Bella is to avenge James. It was never brought up that the only reason Edward killed James was because he thought it was good idea to make Bella his next prey, ignoring the Cullens' warning that Bella was under their protection, and thus off limits.

* KillItWithFire: The only known way to get rid of vampires for good. But just fire isn't enough: first you have to rip them up into pieces (which is kind of difficult, considering that their flesh is as hard as stone) and then scatter the ashes. However, since their bodily fluids are flammable, once you have them in little pieces setting them on fire is pretty easy.
** A simple way for them to get set on fire would be through the mouth. And considering the most physically supreme coven in existence (the Romanians) died from regular arson (by the Volturi, but still just arson), they are obviously not nearly as impervious as they seem.
** The reason why vampires have to be in pieces before they can be burned is because otherwise they can put the flames out, which is largely helped by their Super Speed. Even if a vampire were to be set on fire through the mouth, all he or she would have to do to extinguish the flame would be to close their mouth.

* DaywalkingVampire: Played with. Vampires aren't harmed by sunlight itself, but it does make their nonhuman status [[BishieSparkle obvious]], which ''is'' dangerous since it can get them KilledToUpholdTheMasquerade. Because of this, vampires do have to avoid sunlight, but only when there are humans around to see them.

* CursedWithAwesome:
** Vampirism comes with a lot of upsides and few downsides, especially if you live on a diet of animal blood. You get an eternity of youth, beauty, strength, and possibly some sort of superpower, and you can do it without harming humans as long as you're willing to live on something that tastes gross. Despite this, a few vampires, most notably Edward, regard their status as a curse, and wish they could have lived out human lives instead.
** The movies give us another example when Edward shows Bella [[BishieSparkle what happens]] when a vampire is in direct sunlight. When she says it's beautiful, he responds with this frequently-quoted line:
--->'''Edward''': "This is the skin of a killer, Bella."

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Within the Twilight universe, vampires in general do not value much of human life let alone see humans as equals. They apparently think nothing much of taking a human life particularly if it means ''sustaining'' themselves with ''human'' blood which is said to be more appealing than that of blood from an animal. Even ones who don't feed on humans for moral reasons of their own usually have some feeling of superiority and don't think much of other vampires feeding on humans. The Cullens seems to be perfectly content with letting their non-veggie friends murder humans while they're visiting, as long as it's not anyone from Forks.
