I understand Bella Swan is supposedly a flat character but, from my understanding, we have the opportunity to discover a lot about her if attention is paid. There are several indirect characterizations.
Bella is insecure, avoidant, self centered, extremely passionate about loved ones, becomes emotionally attached to the idea of living a different life. She has high potential, but feels out of place. She is intrigued by the odd or eccentric. Bella shows a lot of signs of having high functioning autism, and I feel I understand the character pretty well.
Someone please explain how, with all of the above character traits mentioned, Bella is considered flat?
Edward Cullen, Bella Swan(Cullen), Rosalie Hale ,Emmett Cullen, Alice Cullen, Jasper Hale, Carlisle Cullen, Esme Cullen, Renesme Cullen, Charlie Swan, Rene Swan. YOU GET THE PICTURE.
Personally, i don't think there are any flat characters. Perhaps the waitress in the restaurant La Bella Italia where Edward and Bella discuss Edward's mind reading abilities is the only one. But every character there has a story to them; some are just found in later books.
genetics as they say were all special so our geneas pass down some may have flat and some round
This is entirely based on your opinion, but I believe that she could be considered both at times. She does have multiple traits, but her clumsiness and love for Edward seem to be dominant so you could say that she is static.

A Round Character
Round character - a complicated hero; flat character - the hero's simple sidekick
No, Athena is not a flat character. She actually is a round character.
In the story "Thank You, Ma'am" by Langston Hughes, Roger can be considered a round character. While he initially appears as a flat character with limited traits, his interactions with Mrs. Jones reveal more depth to his character. Through his actions, dialogue, and reactions, readers see his development and complexity, making him a round character with more depth and dimension than initially perceived.
a round character is a character in a story that changes his/her personality or actions as the story unfolds. a flat character is the opposite. (:
he is a round character

The protagonist, Tom King, is a round character because he encounters conflict and is changed by it. A round character is more developed that a flat character. Since Tom King was the main character and he experiences change and defeat, you know he is a round character.
A round character is a character that is well developed, they are often main characters while flat characters are characters that are underdeveloped and just usually fill the story.
