“Now my shield thinks you’re a threat. Probably because the blast would have been incapacitating.”
I’m rather confused. In canon, Elspeth was born with an anti-shield gift that allowed her to ignore Bella’s shield. Here...I’d have to go back to Luminosity and check, but now it looks like she’s suggesting that it was voluntary the whole time? That Elspeth doesn’t have a shield-busting witchcraft? This is...odd.
Actually, was the shield-busting confirmed by Eleazar in canon, or was it just assumed?
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.)

There are two speculations about how Renesmee got through Bella’s shield in canon, neither confirmed by anybody who would actually know.
Elspeth isn’t a canon character. You’re probably thinking of Renesmee.
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.)
