* ActionGirl: Despite one of her most famous roles being somewhat notorious as a DamselInDistress, Stewart has played several characters who can get themselves out of trouble, including Sabina in ''Charlie's Angels'', Snow White in ''Snow White & the Huntsman'', Phoebe in ''American Ultra'', a bank-robbing [[LittleMissBadass twelve year old]] in ''Catch That Kid'', and Norah in ''Underwater'' (who ends up literally [[spoiler:punching out Cthulhu]]). And even Bella gets to kick some butt in the final ''Twilight'' film [[spoiler:after becoming a vampire]].

* TheDanza: In ''Cold Creek Manor'',
she played a character called Kristen Tilson.
* DawsonCasting:
** She turned eighteen while filming the first ''Twilight'' movie and continued to play Bella across four more. Bella is eighteen by the end of the franchise, while Kristen was
in ''Speak''. Amusingly, her early twenties.
** Earlier in ''Film/TheYellowHandkerchief'' she was eighteen playing a fifteen-year-old.
** In ''Film/TheRunaways'' she's nineteen playing Joan Jett at seventeen. But the film covers two years, matching Kristen's age with Joan's by the end.

* EnforcedMethodActing: ''Welcome to the Rileys'' was her first film after turning eighteen, and thus the first project where she didn't have guardians or tutors with her. She felt that added to her performance as a runaway living alone.

* IAmNotSpock: As far as her fans, her haters, and the media (especially the tabloids) are concerned, she and Bella Swan are the same person.
* PlayingAgainstType:
** Best known for playing the virginal, moody and self-conscious Bella, Stewart plays the sensual, free-spirited Marylou in the film adaptation of ''Literature/OnTheRoad''.
** She is also a ''lot'' livelier as the teenage sister in ''Film/{{Zathura}}'' than viewers who only know her as Bella would expect. [[spoiler: When she isn't frozen solid, that is.]]

It eventually materialised as ''Film/TheHuntsmanWintersWar'' in which Snow White only appears in archive footage and from behind, played by an obvious body double.
