She wasn't a Mary Sue—she wanted to fight, she wanted to curse, she wanted to listen to rock 'n' roll, she wanted to scream out to the world. She simply couldn't. In some ways, she loved her family. But in some ways, she hated them. Ever since she was young, they had forced her into pale colours and princess Halloween costumes. She had gone to one concert—Muse—and was immediately told "no more". They forced her to return skinny jeans and band tees. She had bleached and dyed her hair pale purple once, and returned to school the next day with it dyed back to the same boring brown. Slowly, they broke away at her individuality. They broke her spirit. And when she was fragile and docile, unconfident and self-conscious, empty and easily led... It was then that her mother sent her to live with her father, in the town in the forest where it rained over two hundred days per year. Renée sent her to Forks.

Unknowingly, Renée and Charlie Swan had long since been sending their daughter to her death.

Author's Note: Yes. So. Twilight. I wrote this a while back, because Bella is a character I don't like (hence all the AUs with her having a different personality). I kinda wanted to figure out why the hell she was such a Mary Sue, therefore... I created this little monster in school. Hope you enjoyed!
