Edward Cullen
Edward Cullen is a fictional vampire from Stephenie Meyer's *Twilight* series, the brooding immortal love interest of human protagonist Bella Swan.
The character became a cultural touchstone for paranormal romance in the late 2000s.
References to Edward Cullen often invoke the archetype of the dangerous but devoted boyfriend, or mockingly describe pale, intense young men: He's giving Edward Cullen with that stare.
