How does bella have so much self control... (*BREAKING DAWN SPOILERS!)?

Question

When she is a vampire. I know that her power is her "mind-shield" but what does that have to do with her amazing self-control over not killing people? Or does her shield power even have anything to do with it?

Answer 1

i think because she was planning on being a vampire beforehand and already hates blood. and because she had her mind set on having as much self control as posible

Answer 2

Bella has that much self-control because she is able to prepare mentally for it. She knew what was happening, and she knew what was happening. She also has her love for Edward, which distracts her so much from her feelings.

Answer 3

i think that self control is one of her powers

Answer 4

I agree with Cat DJ. If you noticed Bella forgot her thirst as soon as she saw Edward, after being changed.
