"And yet, they were all exactly alike. Every one of them was chalky pale, the palest of all the students living in this sunless town… They all had very dark eyes despite the range in hair tones. They also had dark shadows under those eyes—purplish, bruise-like shadows. As if they were all suffering from a sleepless night… Their faces, so different, so similar, were all devastatingly, inhumanly beautiful."
―Bella Swan on seeing the Cullens for the first time
The Olympic coven, more commonly known as the Cullen family, and also known as Cullen clan, or Cullen coven, is a coven
of vegetarian vampires. It consists of Carlisle, Esme, Alice, Emmett, and Edward Cullen, as well as Rosalie and Jasper Hale. The coven was soon joined by
Bella Swan along with her and Edward's vampire hybrid daughter Renesmee Cullen. Later in the series, Lucas Stone, Krystal Diamond, Tiffany Stewart, her vampire hybrid daughter Lucina Stewart, Jalen Long and Bryce Summers are also introduced into the coven and Jacob Black joined the coven through his marriage
with Renesmee. In Long Live Life, Jacob and Renesmee's children Evan and Sarah Black and Lucina and Bryce's son Lucien Summers joined the coven followed by
Luna and Korrina Snow and Damien Grant. Twelve of the twenty two members are
supernaturally gifted, three are shape-shifting werewolves, five are hybrids
and Carlisle, Edward, Lucas, Jalen, Lucien and Evan are the only ones who
changed at least one member of the coven to become a vampire.
The Cullens are the second largest and most powerful coven, with only the Volturi ranking higher in number and power, but more mature and stable than most others, a result of abstaining from human blood and hunger for power.
They are known to be very loyal to each other and put more value on human life than most other vampires. Abstaining from human blood takes the competitive aspect out of their hunting instincts, and as a result allows them to form stronger family bonds than traditional vampires. They currently live in Forks, Washington, which they have no plans of leaving, unless forced to.
The Cullens prefer to stay in one place as long as possible, choosing cloudy climates where they can go outside during the day without revealing their inhuman nature. But after 6-7 years, they are forced to move on before their lack of aging is noticed. They own several residences so that they can return to places they have especially enjoyed—but only after enough time has passed that they won't be recognized as the same people who once lived there.
Each member maintains several well-tended identities, complete with documents to support them, which allows the Cullens to establish themselves in new locations as necessary.
Each time the Cullens move to a new place, the relationships they claim to share with one another may shift, too. In one place, two members might pose as father and adopted son, in another, brothers, or uncle and nephew. Regardless, the bonds of love and respect between them are the same.
Lucas Stone: Eight years has passed since the confrontation with the Volturi. In the middle of July of 2015, Renesmee and Jacob ran into an 18 year old human boy name Lucas Kendall Stone who was being attacked by a grizzly bear in the woods. After Jacob saved Lucas, unbeknownst to Lucas that it was Jacob in his wolf form at that time, Renesmee took Lucas to the Cullen house where Carlisle fix Lucas's arm and was introduced to the family. When everyone including Jacob notice that Edward, Alice and Jasper weren't able to use their gifts on Lucas, everyone was uncertain if he's considered a threat but after hearing about the loss of his family and getting to know him, they all agreed that Lucas pose no threat and decided to allow him to become part of the family. The next day however while everyone was setting up a surprise welcome party for Lucas, Lucas was hit by a car after he pushed Renesmee out of harm and by the time she and Jacob hurriedly brought Lucas to Carlisle, he was reported 'dead' until Edward somehow heard Lucas's heartbeat but barely which made Jacob give permission to change Lucas. Carlisle bit Lucas and three days later, Lucas joined the coven after becoming a vampire and being told about the world he lives in.
In the middle of August, Renesmee was kidnapped by the Volturi where they sent their guards along with their new recruits, May and Niall to assassinate the Cullens and Jacob but because they were unaware about Lucas and thanks to his gift, they survived the assault and found out who's behind it. The Cullens and Jacob arrived to Volterra to save Renesmee only to see that she's 'states' that she wanted to join the Volturi. Lucas then discovered that she's been hypnotized by May and Niall's sister, Olivia and with quick thinking Lucas shot an aura sphere at Olivia thus causing her to lose her concentration on Renesmee to be free. However, Aro refused to let the Cullens walk away and soon everyone minus Lucas was restrained by the guards. Edward soon found out that the Volturi were the ones that caused the death of Lucas's family causing Lucas to go on a rage taking down every guard and member in his way until he reached Aro. Lucas was on the verge to kill him until Carlisle stepped in. Soon Lucas saw a hallucination of his sister Lilly Stone until he blinked to see that it was Renesmee which brought Lucas back to his senses. Aro reluctantly allowed the Cullens and Jacob to leave until Lucas's rage came back causing him to mysteriously go unconscious when vampires couldn't.
After they returned to Forks, Lucas left the Cullens without giving any info since his aura blocks Edward and Alice's gifts except saying that he 'had to take care of something.' Fearing that he might be going back to the Volturi, everyone tried to convince Lucas to stay but he refused and left without another word. A week later, Lucas returned to Forks and explained that he went back to Lacey to see his friends before they go to college and visited his family's grave. No needing to ask for permission, Lucas has officially joined the family as a part of their coven.
Krystal Diamond: A year after living in Forks, Lucas been depressed and he's unsure why. After hearing that he feels like something's missing in his life and the strange feeling, everyone believes that he hasn't found his mate which Lucas believed to be crazy. On the first day of school, Lucas met and fell in love with a 17 year old human girl name Krystal Sapphire Diamond who shared his feelings. They officially got to meet each other when Krystal asked Lucas out to lunch, causing everyone to be very excited, and since then the two of them have become romantically involved. Krystal found out about the Cullens being vampires after she caught Lucas drinking blood from a deer on their first date and to everyone's surprise she said that it was 'cool!' Just like Bella before she got married, everyone accepted Krystal into the family.
The Cullens found out that Krystal's father Roark Diamond has been killed by Miley Ray, now a vampire unbeknownst to them at that time and learned that someone is after Krystal which later reveals to be Nahuel's half-brother, Jonathan. His motive is for Lucas to suffer for killing Olivia, who hit a wall caused by Lucas and a torch fell on her, who was Jonathan's mate by killing Krystal. The Cullens tried to protect Krystal but Jonathan managed to succeed right under their noses. After finding Jonathan's location, Lucas found Krystal just in time before Miley and Jonathan prepared to strike. Lucas soon caused a fire and was about to escape with Krystal in his arms, but just as he was in the air, Jonathan yanked him down causing Lucas to drop Krystal where she hit her head on the ground and was 'dead.' After burning Jonathan and finding out that Krystal is still alive but barely, Jacob gave Lucas permission to change Krystal which he did so hesitantly. Two days later, Krystal joined the family as a vampire.
At the end from both The Other Half and A Reason To Smile a year later after graduation, Lucas proposed to Krystal and the two were engaged.
A month after the proposal, the Cullens and Jacob's pack helped set up Krystal and Lucas's wedding. After Lucas and Krystal had their bachelor/bachelorette party, the two of them were married and spent their honeymoon together in Paris where they made love to each other.
Tiffany & Lucina Stewart: Two years after the wedding, Lucas's friend Tiffany Renae Stewart visits Carlisle at his work when she found out she's pregnant. When Carlisle finds out that Tiffany is carrying a half-human and half-vampire hybrid, he took her to his house where he informed everyone about the situation and Edward revealing from Tiffany's mind that the father of her child is Joham. Lucas, who everyone volunteered him for amusement, told Tiffany about he and his family being vampires and the situation she's in and Tiffany agreed to be changed after her child is born. A month later, Alice caught Joham's kids Blake and Christina spying on the Cullens and knows about them protecting Tiffany but got away before Edward and Lucas got a chance to stop them. Three days later, Tiffany gave birth to her daughter Lucina Samantha Stewart, almost dying in the process. Lucas changed Tiffany in multiple places just in time to save her. Right after that, Joham sent an army of newborns to distract the Cullens while he tries to take Lucina away from them but failed because of Lucas who received a scar after being bitten by Joham who escaped. Two days later, Tiffany joined the family as a vampire.
A month later, Blake and Christina returned and kidnapped Lucina, aged to be in a five year old body but was foiled and caught by Lucas and Krystal and was soon burned by the rest of the Cullens. Tiffany soon discovered one of her gifts which is to see through the person's eyes by physical contact, the other is mental healing, thus giving everyone the idea on how to find Joham.
Lucina was soon captured by Joham and Tiffany was able to see through Lucina's eyes to find Joham and caught him. The Cullens were about to kill Joham until the Volturi arrived to see what was going on. Aro meets Tiffany and Lucina and eagerly asked them to join their coven which was refused by an angered Lucas. After Lucas rant out about the Volturi's failure of their job, the Volturi killed Joham and returned to Volterra. According to Edward, Lucas's words impacted them although it'll 'take time for them to admit it,' he said. Everyone soon threw Lucas in the air as a celebration for everything he has done for the coven. At the end of the story, everyone celebrated Tiffany's birthday and got her and Lucina a cottage like Bella, Edward and Renesmee near their main home thus officially becoming a part of their family.
In the prequel to A New Life four months since the events of Joham, everyone questions Lucas about his human life and Lucas, along with Tiffany, tells everyone about his life before he met the Cullens and what he did after the events in Volterra.
Jalen Long: Four years later, the Cullens and Jacob visits Renee Dwyer where Renesmee got to meet her grandmother for the first time. While they were returning home though, their plane crashed caused by Benjamin's gift and are lost in Detroit, Michigan due to Alice's visions being unable to show their future temporary. During their search for the airport home, they ran into Zoran and his coven and were outmatched due the coven's gifts until they were saved by Mordecai Coleman, Jalen Kaiser Long, Eden Love, Sophia Faye, Cameron Parker, Ariana Vega and William Heart. During the fight, Tiffany ran off, thinking that they were a part of Zoran's coven, to distract them so Jalen went after her with his tracking sense. Surprisingly, the two know each other when they were kids. After reuniting the whole coven together, they were found by Steve, who knows about the existence of vampires, and his partner Spike but with Ariana's answer talker ability and Alice's visions, that are slowly coming back, they scared off Steve and Spike making them think they were being crazy the whole time.
However, Jalen told Tiffany that what's going on between them won't work out, unknown to Jalen that he's in love with her and Tiffany took off feeling heartbroken. Unable to find Tiffany for some reason, the Cullens head their way to the airport with directions given by Mordecai until they ran into Zoran's coven again and like before they were outmatched. That was until Tiffany came in and saved the Cullens and also destroyed Zoran's coven. After being reunited, the Cullens returned home to Forks.
Three days since their return, Tiffany is still heartbroken over Jalen's words until Jalen arrived. He decided to leave his coven and join the Cullens as well as confessing his love to Tiffany. Everyone welcomed Jalen who changed his diet as he now becomes a part of their family.
Bryce Summers: A few months after Jalen joined the family, the Cullens minus Renesmee went to North Central High for Lucina's first time of going to school as Jalen attends to complete his education. They meet Bryce Greyson Summers who falls in love with Lucina with her returning her feelings to him much to Jalen's irritation due to the fact that he's married to Tiffany and became the father to Lucina. The Cullens welcomed Bryce into the family when he and Lucina became a couple. On Christmas Eve, Bryce had an asthma attack and nearly died until Jalen changed him. Bryce soon wakes up and was told about what he has become and what the Cullens are and Bryce accepted it as he officially becomes part of the family.
Near the end of the school year, Orion Stern suspects something about the Cullens. He knows that they are different due to the information he found including Jalen's 'crime' but he has no idea that they are vampires. He blackmails Jalen to break up Bryce and Lucina, who he is obsessively in love with, so that he can ask Lucina to prom or else he'll expose them to everyone. Jalen did so reluctantly keeping it private from everyone with Lucas's aura blocking Edward and Alice's gifts from knowing. At prom night, Jalen regrets his actions after hearing Bryce's words and took Lucina away from Orion and got her and Bryce back together. However, Orion called the cops arresting the Cullens and Jacob (he was gonna have them arrested no matter what) adding to use excessive force. However, Asher Pennington who is the police commissioner, orders them to stop and release them as Elena Margaret revealed her true identity while clearing Jalen's name of him raping her which was actually their foster dad. Because of his actions, Orion and his friends have been expelled after finding school reports that were failed to be responded caused by Edward, Bella, Lucas, Alice and Jasper after they found out what happened between Jalen and Bryce.
During the story, they encounter Jemma who has no scent and is immune to most gifts. She claims to be alone and the Cullens allowed her to stay. A week later, she disappeared and the Cullens have no idea where she went. Later, a nomad named Raymundo stumbled across the Cullens questioning their lifestyle. During that, he used his collecting ability to gather information from everyone and soon left after. Alice then told everyone that something's about to happen to the Volturi but the vision is unclear since the decision is being made and believed that Raymundo may be a part of someone's plan to take down the Volturi. In December, the Cullens found out from Bryce's foster siblings that Jemma's back but didn't come to them. She them came back again, this time with Raymundo. The Cullens decided to use Bryce, in disguise, to get some information from the two. They found out that Raymundo is a hybrid and Jemma is Gianna and Demetri's daughter. After prom night, the Cullens received a letter from Marcus saying that Aro and many other guards have been executed as the Volturi was taken down by the Romanian coven that had Jemma, Raymundo and Robyn with them and were offering the Cullens positions to work with them. The Cullens agreed that they become the new Volturi while they still live with humans as Marcus and the wives run things in Italy still.
After sorting things in Volterra, the Cullens attend the commencement ceremony to see Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper, Jalen and Bryce graduate where Jalen and Bryce will both attend the University of Washington. At the Cullen home where the graduation party is being held, Renesmee and Jacob gave the news that they are having a baby. The Cullens thought back on their lives together and soon had a family photo taken by Elena and they all got to see the photo.
Evan & Sarah Black: Six months after the events from the last story, the Cullens celebrate Christmas with Jacob and Renesmee's kids, Evan Thomas Black and Sarah Rose Black along with Charlie, Sue Clearwater, Renee, the Black Pack, Bryce's foster family, Elena and Asher with their daughter Melissa Pennington who is the goddaughter of Jalen, and Tiffany and Lucina's family where the Cullens tell the guests about the supernatural and retelling the events from Twilight to Have A Purpose since they bend the law of not exposing the existence to humans where if vampires are civilized and have living family members connected to them, it is safe to tell them as long as they don't reveal it to other humans.
Fourteen Years Later
Lucien Summers: Two years after the event, Lucina finished high school and soon Bryce proposed to her thus making them engaged. The two soon got married in November and two weeks later Lucina finds out that she is pregnant. She gives birth to a boy named Lucien Bryson Summers but was nearly killed in the process leaving her unconscious for a while.
Five years later since the birth of Lucien, he starts school like the other Cullens when they moved to Montana. He meets a human girl name Kourtney Collier and the two became friends. One day, Lucien and Kourtney were taking a shortcut in the alleyway after the movies until they bumped into a group of thugs and were attacked until they were saved by a half-vampire half-human hybrid named Skai.
The Cullens meet Skai and learns about him as he learns about them and he's been with them since although he never lives with them despite the offer. On the other hand, Skai and Lucien became best friends. Two weeks after that, Kourtney found out about the supernatural when she overheard Lucien and Skai of their conversation.
Skai developed an idea for the world when he finds out the Cullens became the new Volturi. He believes they have the power to make a difference. With their gifts, they would be the most powerful coven to have ever existed. When Lucien was told about it from the Cullens, he refused to believe them siding with Skai and ran away. Lucien stayed with Kourtney at her place. Skai, who developed romantic interest in Kourtney but she shows it in Lucien instead, came. Lucien confronted Skai and Skai admitted of his plans causing Lucien to feel betrayed when Kourtney sided with him.
Lucien left them leaving him all alone due to the fact he is unable to return to the Cullens after what he said to them until he was found by Lucas. The two were then ambushed by Skai and Kourtney where Skai used his absorbing gift to take Lucas's gift and took off with Kourtney. Lucien followed Skai and ended up in a fight against him until Lucien caused Skai to shoot the aura sphere at Kourtney causing her to be sent flying until she hit a cliff wall and died. The death of Kourtney affected both Lucien and Skai (Lucien losing his friend and Skai losing the one he loves) causing Skai to attack Lucien attempting to kill him until the Cullens came and stopped him with Lucas taking his gift back from Skai before Skai escaped swearing revenge on Lucien and they haven't seen him since.
Three years since the event of Skai, the Cullens moved again to another state in Minneapolis, Minnesota where they meet Brian Walker and his family whose great grandfather Vin Walker was a former member of the tribe when the Cullens first came to Forks. However, he and his follower Jesse Hobbs left the tribe due to a disagreement to trust the Cullens because of their diet. The Walkers trust the Cullens but the family would still like to remake the treaty the same back in Forks. Since then, a new pack was form after bringing Seth and Leah Clearwater, Embry Call and Quil Ateara and their families so that the kids will be able to phase and Evan was made the Alpha of the pack with Sarah as second in command.
Luna and Korrina Snow & Damien Grant: Staying in Minnesota, Lucien continues falling into depression until he fell in love with a young 15 year old human girl named Luna Rainbow Snow, who shared his feelings. Both have gone through rough times, Luna being bullied at her old school and Lucien losing Kourtney and Skai, and the entire family supports their relationship seeing that they have found what they were looking for and Luna was accepted into the family after she was told about the supernatural.
Soon on Luna's sixteenth birthday, Evan imprinted on Luna's sister Korrina Valerie Snow who was too young at that time allowing Evan to act like a big brother to her. Later, Sarah imprinted on Luna's friend Damien Otto Grant who has a crush on her. Both Damien and Korrina and Luna and Korrina's mother Maureen Snow and Damien's father Calvin Grant know about the supernatural since the law allows them to.
During the story, the Cullens were ambushed by metal vampires, gifted vampires alive and dead. It was soon revealed that the metal vampires were led by Skai using the sword, IL Mietitore Capacità, who has come for his revenge by killing Luna and then Lucien. The Cullens sent Luna and Lucien away along with Sarah and Evan while sending Luna and Damien's family to Red Lake for protection.
Jasper and Jalen went off to find Skai but were caught and became metal vampires under Skai's control and they helped assist him capturing all the gifted vampires including the entire Cullen family before finding Lucien and the others.
After a fierce battle, the sword is destroyed reversing the effects of those who were captured and Skai is destroyed but Luna was hurt badly in the battle allowing Lucien to change her. Three days later, Luna woke up as a vampire and became part of the family as one.
A year after the event, Damien was in a car chase led by Owen Decker and his friends until he got t-boned and Owen was about to shoot him until the Cullens came but were too late to save Damien from the impact causing Evan to change Damien. Damien wakes up three days later and joined the family as a vampire. Two years later before graduation, Damien proposed Sarah making them engaged.
After high school graduation, Lucien and Luna proposed to each other also making them engaged and a month later they got married.
During their college years after Jacob finally approved, Damien and Sarah got married.
Four years later after Lucien and Luna's wedding, Korrina went on a date with Randy Fowler but she thinks it was best to be friends because of her feelings to Evan. She confesses it to him and Evan return the feelings to her.
A month since they've been together, Randy was blinded of his obsession with Korrina that he almost strangled her to death until she was saved by the Cullen leaving Evan to change her. She wakes up three days later and Korrina became part of the family as a vampire.
Three years later after Korrina graduated high school, Evan proposes to Korrina making them engaged and months later they got married.
In Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined, the coven is consisted of Carine Cullen, Earnest Cullen, Edythe Cullen (who has telepathy), Royal Hale, Eleanor Cullen, Archie Cullen (who has subjective precognition), Jessamine Hale (who has pathokinesis), Beau Swan (who has mental shield), Julie Black (who has superior strength, limited telepathy & Alpha voice), Lacey Stone (who has aura manipulation and aura reading), Kalen Diamond, Tyson Stewart (who has mental healing and tactile perception), Layton Stewart (who has mental communication and mental shield) Janelle Long (who has tracking sense) Brynn Summers, Evelin Swan (who has telepathy (human), shield penetration, limited telepathy (wolf), superior strength and Alpha voice), Slater Swan (who has thought projection, shield penetration & limited telepathy), Lucinda Stewart (who has tactile mental communication and mental shield), Levi Snow, Diana Grant and Konrad Snow.
(I don't have the full list because I'm following this user who is writing the story of Life and Death only starting with the original ending and now currently on Eclipse and I wanna see how this user does it so I can get inspiration to my version of Life and Death in my stories. The user is Visser2135 if you want to see her stories. This user is good.)
The Swan and Dwyer families: Bella and Edward's marriage makes Charlie, as well as his ex-wife Renée, in-law relatives to the Cullen family. Edward and Bella's daughter, Renesmee, is the strongest link between the two families, because they are related by blood. Renée's second husband, Phil Dwyer, could also be considered an indirect family member. Charlie and Renée are brought into the supernatural in A Christmas Surprise.
The Quileute wolf packs.
The Quileute Pack: The tribe's original pack was initially very hostile toward the Cullen family due to the danger they represented, but were unable to attack due to their great-grandfathers' treaty that keeps them from attacking as long as the Cullens didn't 'bite' a human or cross on over to their land. On September 11, 2006, Jacob Black imprints on vampire hybrid Renesmee, and through this incident, he becomes connected to the Cullens and the treaty becomes stronger than before, whereas Quileute laws state that 'no wolf should harm another wolf's imprinted one' for fear of destructive results. Sam has stated that since Jacob imprinted on Renesmee, she is as much part of their tribe's family as she is the Cullens'. This makes the Quileutes and the Olympic coven an extended family of sorts, particularly the Black family. The Clearwater family also shares a connection to the Cullens due to Bella's father Charlie being married to Sue Clearwater. A new pack was formed when the Cullens moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota and met Brian Walker whose ancestor was a former member of the Black Pack due to his compassion with Cullens being different.
The Denali Coven: On the basis of their similar diet, the Denali coven is considered a loyal extension of Carlisle's coven, calling themselves cousins. In Breaking Dawn, Tanya apologizes for not aiding the Cullens in the newborn army crisis and states that she and her mates are part of the Olympic coven, too. The Denali coven consists of Tanya, Kate, Eleazar, Carmen, Garrett, Mordecai, Eden, Sophia, Cameron, Ariana and William; former members are the deceased Irina, Laurent, Sasha and Vasilii.
The Stewart family: Tiffany's family's connection with the Cullens makes Gwen, Hayden, Sam and Kellan relatives to the Cullen family. Lucina is the strongest link between two families, because they are related by blood. Sam's deceased husband Ethan could also be considered an indirect family member. They now know about Lucina's nature and about the supernatural in A Christmas Surprise.
The Detroit coven.
The Detroit Coven: The Detroit coven is a loyal extension of the Cullen family when they helped them from Zoran's coven. They soon became relatives due to Tiffany and Jalen's marriage. They also share a connection due to Mordecai dating Tanya and soon they joined the Denali coven. The Detroit coven consists of Mordecai Coleman, Eden Love, Sophia Faye, Cameron Parker, Ariana Vega and William Heart; former members include Jalen Long and deceased Witney.
The Pennington family: The Penningtons share a connection with the Cullen family due to Jalen's relationship with Elena Margaret. They soon became relatives due to Elena's children Melissa and Ian's connection with Jalen she names him the godfather to her children. They now know about the supernatural in A Christmas Surprise.
The Snow-Grant Family: Luna, Damien and Korrina's marriage with Lucien, Sarah and Evan respectfully makes Maureen Snow and Calvin in-laws to the Cullen family. Maureen's deceased husband Noland Snow and Calvin's deceased wife Evelyn Grant could also be considered as family members. Calvin and Maureen both know about the supernatural.
Desired members
Bree Tanner.
Bree Tanner: A newborn vampire created by Victoria for her newborn army. She surrendered at the end of the battle between her army and the Cullen family. Unable to kill a child in cold blood and knowing that she was merely a puppet in Victoria's schemes, Carlisle offered her asylum in exchange for her surrender. However, Jane had Felix execute her, because she did not comply with the vampire laws despite her ignorance of them. Even though the Cullens' attempt to save her was unsuccessful, Bree was grateful that they had at least tried. She was the only one who failed to join the family.
Skai: A half-human half-vampire hybrid. He met the Cullens after saving Lucien when he was attack. Knowing he has no family because of the previous Volturi, the Cullens offered him to stay with them but Skai kindly refused. Skai soon suddenly sees power hearing the Cullens as the new Volturi and attacked Lucien and taking Lucas's gift until it was quickly returned. Skai returns fourteen years later to make his revenge on Lucien for the lost of Kourtney using Il Mietitore Capacità and the metal vampires but was thwarted in the end by the Cullens and he was executed after that. He is one of the two who failed to join the family, the other one was Bree Tanner, but was killed by the Volturi.
