Layout made by DumBummEsme Cullen (born Esme Anne Platt and later Esme Anne Evenson) was born in the later 1800s and lived in Columbus, Ohio where at age 16 was treated by her future husband Dr. Cullen after she broke her leg from climbing from a tree. She was forced by her parents to marry a man named Charles Evenson but was abused by him.After realizing she was pregnant, she left her husband and gave birth to a son. After losing her son to a lung infection, Esme attempted to commit suicide by jumping from a cliff (Edward tells Bella she "fell"). Presumed dead, they didn't even take her to the emergency room and placed her in the morgue.Dr. Carlisle Cullen heard her beating heart and remembered her. He didn't want her to die and decided to change her into a vampire like himself. She was the second person he changed beside Edward. Consequently, Carlisle and Esme fell in love and were married soon after.
