Elspeth is. (I wanted to give her the same power and have her look the same, so I wanted her genetically the same. And it’s feasible, given that in Luminosity, Bella had a number of eggs harvested, so they could have snagged the one that would have ripened when Renesmee was conceived in canon; and Edward is a vampire, so I can handwave as necessary on his end.)
In fairness, Elspeth is just Renesmee born earlier with a different name.
Also in fairness, someone born earlier of the same parents would not be genetically identical.

Particularly if the genetics of the parents have clearly been altered dramatically too. :)
Gotcha. (I haven’t read the books so am not directly familiar with her.)
