But Edward wouldn't have known that when they first interacted.

Putting the special in that special ability 

The movies make her out to be a total dumbass vs the books. I mean imo its mostly dumb overall but just saying the movies made her seem worse.

Also the actress literally only has 1 expression. 😐

Sounds like anendophasia

It is not considered a disorder

If we were to make a computer to "read our minds" it would pick up on our internal dialog which people with anendophasia do not have.

People with anendophasia are not dumb. They just think different.

Like imagine a person that was born deaf. They can't have a verbal dialog in their heads. They could imagine sign language, images, or words. But just because they were born deaf doesn't mean their IQ is low. They just think different.

I don’t recall any suggestion of their intelligence. Just that whenever Edward attempted to “read” her mind, he could never glean a single thought. It was a blank void.

Maturity comes from life experience and plenty of people mature very quickly in periods of adversity, while their peers linger in childhood or adolescence because there's no stressors propelling them onward.

I should note that "maturity" isn't some kind of universal good, either. A person regularly subjected to physical violence will learn coping mechanisms to avoid or endure that abuse. They'll come out with these reflexes and responses that other adults can read as "mature". But I wouldn't say they're better for it.

Similarly, people who endure poverty have to learn mature habits as a method of survival far sooner than their wealthier peers - how to provide food and shelter for yourself, how to navigate social bureaucracies, how to operate motor vehicles safely. But the techniques they adopt - lying, stealing, driving without any formal training - aren't condusive to a safe neighborhood or a functional social network.

Bowling for Soup was right when they released Highschool Never Ends

If we think about it, I'd bet there would be a correlation though... Being immortal has to disconnect you from the rest of society.

Dark triad traits have got to be off the charts on Immortal beings.

No. They drink animal (deer i think) blood. It makes them weaker and gives them golden eyes, instead oft the red eyes. Its a whole plot point in one of the later books.

It was a major plot point that none of the ones in Edward's "family" drank human blood. You could tell if a given vampire did or didn't based on their eye color. Human blood made them red.
