Description: Pire was Huilen’s sister and Nahuel’s human mother. Her parents “named her after the snow on the mountains because of her fair skin” (Breaking Dawn, pg. 735).
Personal History—
All the information about Pire comes from her sister Huilen at the end of Breaking Dawn. She tells the Volturi about the story of her sister Pire, who met an “angel” in the woods and visited her at night. Huilen knew it was the Libishomen (vampire) of their legends due to the bruises he left on Pire’s skin. When Pire suspected she was carrying the Libishomen’s child, the two sisters ran away into the “deepest parts of the forest” where Pire “ate the animals raw, drinking their blood.” Pire died when the “child ripped his way free of her” (Breaking Dawn, pg. 735).
Although Pire never actually appears in the novel, her story is of great significance to the Cullens and the outcome of the confrontation with the Volturi at the end of Breaking Dawn.
