Book BFF: Alice Cullen

Book BFF was created by Larks Andrea, Paula, and Jen to showcase some of our favorite ladies & was originally inspired by Book Boyfriend. We'd love it if you'd join us featuring your favorite Book BFFs and leaving links so we can check out your posts. We will be alternating between Book Boyfriends and Book BFFs on Thursdays. 

Alice Cullen, from The Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer
My ideal Alice is Ashley Greene.

 Appearance: 

 Very short and pixie-like, very thin, small features, spiky black hair, gold/black eyes – depending on how well fed she is. 

Very well dressed. 

 Facts about Alice: 

 She was turned while in a mental asylum where she had been treated with electroshock therapy. 

Her original family had her committed because she had visions of the future, this gift intensified when she was changed. 

Alice used her abilities to play the stock market for fun; the Cullens are exceptionally wealthy because of this in part. 

When Alice first awoke as a vampire, she had no memory of how she became one, but she knew that she would eventually meet Jasper and together they would find the Cullen family because she saw it in a vision. 

Alice and Jasper are married, but have only been married once, unlike Emmett and Rosalie who get married fairly regularly. 

Alice is very demanding when it comes to fashion and she chooses the clothes that her family wear. Alice loves to plan parties, and plans Edward & Bella’s wedding. 

Alice is not able to see the future of werewolves. 

 Quotes: 

It sounded like you were having Bella for lunch, and we came to see if you would share. Twilight, p.346 

He was a fool to think you could survive alone. I’ve never seen anyone so prone to life-threatening idiocy. New Moon, p.386 

 Leave it to you, Bella. Anyone else would be better off when the vampires left town. But you have to start hanging out with the first monsters you can find. New Moon, p.387 

 I think she’s having hysterics. Maybe you should slap her. New Moon, p.486 

 I’m sorry. I can’t really empathize. My first memory is of seeing Jasper’s face in my future; I always knew that he was where my life was headed. But I can sympathize. I’m so sorry you have to choose between two good things. Eclipse, p.585 

 You’ll be my sister officially in ten short hours… it’s about time you get over this aversion to new clothes. Breaking Dawn, p.40 

 But look at how she’s dressed. It’s been killing me all day. That is clearly the priority. Breaking Dawn, p.472 

 Why she’s my Book BFF: 

 Alice is kind of fussy for a vampire... she notices the small details and she cares about getting them right. When Bella just can’t be bothered to smarten up, Alice is there to look after the details. She is fun, funny and surprisingly lethal for such a cute looking girl. She doesn’t mind a using a little biting wit now and then, usually directed at the wolves but generally she is pretty tolerant really. She loves Jasper with all her heart, but is very willing to open up to new friends. She has cool powers and awesome clothes... I don’t think I know a Twilight fan who WOULDN’T want a chance at a make-over from her and to spend a few hours giggling with her. I’d love to!
