You know WHO is Cullen Family, of course. They are handsome beautiful family, with 9 members including Bella and Renessme. But, i wish you to know deeply about their... species.
Vampire is a folkloric revenants who subsist by feeding blood of the living. Vampires are immortal. They couldn't dead because sickness or symptoms. But of course, they could die on duel of vampires or because hunger. In Folkloric tales, the undead vampires often visited loved ones and caused mischief or deaths in the neighbourhoods they inhabited when they were alive. They wore shrouds and were often described as bloated and of ruddy or dark countenance, markedly different from today's gaunt, pale vampire which dates from the early 19th century. Vampires are called vrykolakas in Greece, strigoi in Romania and vampir in Indonesia.
Vampires were usually reported as bloated in appearance, and ruddy, purplish or dark in colour. These characteristics were often attributed to the recent drinking of blood. Indeed, blood was often seen seeping from the mouth and nose when one was seen in its shroud or coffin and its left eye was often open. It would be clad in the linen shroud it was buried in, and its teeth, hair, and nails may have grown somewhat, though in general fangs were not a feature.
Vampires are believed to scare things like garlic and holy water. Mirrors have been used to wad off vampires when placed facing outwards on a door [in some cultures, vampires don't have a reflection and sometimes don't cast a shadow].
What about dracula?
Well, we usually hardly know the differences between dracula and vampires. As a matter of fact, Dracula is a name, and vampire is what kind he is. Yes, there was a vampire, named Count Dracula.
However, from what we read in Twilight. We know that vampires [on their version] were cold, fast, strong, powerful, good looking, whitely pale and immortal.
That's all i can share.
