Her lips are a little out of proportion, a bit too full for her jaw line. Her eyebrows are darker than her hair and more straight than they are arched. She's five foot four inches tall, slender but not at all muscular, and weighs about 115 pounds. She has stubby fingernails because she has a nervous habit of biting them.” (Source: StephenieMeyer.com) She also has a small, cold, crescent-shaped scar on her hand from a vampire bite.
