Biography
Early Life
Emmett McCarty was changed into a vampire by Dr. Carlisle Cullen in 1935, two years after Rosalie Hale had been changed. When Rosalie came across him, Emmett was being mauled by a bear in the mountains of Tennessee. He had nearly died from the attack, but Rosalie saved him and carried him over a hundred miles back to Carlisle. Rosalie was noted as saying that it took nearly all her strength not to kill him. She also said that she brought him to Carlisle so that he, with his stronger endurance of human blood, could save Emmett. She also said that the reason behind having Carlisle save Emmett and not herself was because she was afraid that if she did it she would end up killing him. Emmett describes this experience as "being saved by an angel who brought him to God". Once Rosalie returned to Carlisle with Emmett, he was changed into a vampire. Many years later, Rosalie confessed to Bella that she saved Emmett from sure death because his innocence, dimples, and curly hair reminded her of her best friend Vera's child, Henry, and that ever since the day she saw Henry she always wanted a baby just like him.
After his painful transformation, Rosalie and Carlisle explained to Emmett that he was a vampire. This did not upset him, however, like Rosalie and Carlisle had thought it would. He put in his own words, "But if Carlisle and Rosalie, my angel, were vampires, how bad could it be?" He did, however, initially have trouble adjusting to the Cullens' rule of only feeding on animals, and has tasted human blood on several occasions. Emmett is the husband of the blond Rosalie Hale. They have a very strong bond and are true soul mates.
Personality and traits
Emmett Cullen as portrayed by Kellan Lutz
Emmett is described as being very tall, very burly, and to the students at Forks High School, very intimidating. Jessica Stanley refers to him as, "The big dark-haired guy." Standing at 6'5", he is the tallest of the Cullens, towering over Alice by a few feet. His strength gives him a rather filled out form, but he is not regarded as being overweight, just muscular. His height helps spread out his weight. He has a round face with dimples and slightly curly, dark brown hair, giving him a childish look. He is the strongest of the Cullens. Like the rest of his family, he has pale skin and golden eyes that darken as he becomes more thirsty. Emmett and Rosalie are described as having a very close bond, true soul mates.
Emmett loves to laugh and make jokes, and tries to lighten up tense situations with his sense of humor. In Breaking Dawn, he usually makes jokes about Bella's sex life. Bella ,who is a newborn, challenges him to an arm-wrestling match to make him stop saying anything about her sex life. Of course ,as a new born, Bella wins. He was angry and wanted a rematch. He appears to be thoughtless and makes rash decisions. He is also brave, enjoys fighting, and is very competitive. Emmett was upset that he wouldn't be going with Bella in Twilight, until she pointed out that he would have a better chance to fight James if he went with Edward. He thought it would be a good idea to turn Bella into a vampire, and expressed a desire to "pick a fight" with Demetri. He was also looking forward to the fight with the newborns created by Victoria, and the fight with the Volturi over his niece Renesmee.
Powers and Abilities
As a result of Emmett being a vampire, he has many enhanced properties such as superhuman speed and incredible strength. Unlike other members of the Cullen family, he does not have any special abilities, but his enhanced physical strength is more than enough. He uses his "super strength" as his 'special' ability, but has none like his brother Edward, his sister Alice, his adoptive brother Jasper, his sister-in-law, Bella, and his niece Renesmee. Along with the rest of the family, Emmett is an immortal. He is the second youngest vampire in the Cullen family, which is why the scent of human blood is sometimes harder for him to resist. He does very well when things get out of hand and he could resist Bella's blood when she was human.
Emmett and Rosalie
He is also very goodlooking
Relationships
Rosalie Hale
- "With the dark curls...the dimples that showed even while he was grimacing in pain...the strange innocence that seemed so out of place on a grown man's face...he reminded me of Vera's little Henry."
- ―Rosalie on Emmett[src]
Rosalie Hale and Emmett Cullen
Emmett fell in love with Rosalie when she found him when he was being mauled to death by a bear. He thought she was 'his angel'. It was because of her that he was so accepting of his new life as a vampire. In the outtakes on Stephenie Meyer's website he says 'if Carlisle and Rosalie, my angel, were vampires, how bad could it be?'. Their relationship is often portrayed as more of a physical relationship, compared to the other couples of the Cullen family. This point was proven when Emmett teased Bella about her and Edward's love life, and said that his and Rosalie's passionate love-making had demolished many houses built for them by Esme and Carlisle. Rosalie is Emmett's soulmate or other half. It is obvious that Emmett is very protective over Rosalie.
