getting to know you ..x..[/color]
General Appearance:
Lily Collins
Clary is small, around five feet tall, and slight. She has a light dusting of freckles which she is extremely self-conscious of. Her hair is bright red like her mother's and her eyes are green. Though others find her beautiful, Clary herself doesn't think much of her appearance feeling homely compared to someone like her mother who she thinks is lovely. She also tends to wear comfortable clothing as opposed to what other girls might find fashionable or flattering.
Talents: Much like her mother, Clary is an artist. Though she doesn't feel she's quite as good as she is, she is talented in her own right. Also like her mother she has the ability to place objects inside images she creates if it looks realistic enough. She keeps a notebook as a diary that she uses her drawn images instead of words to express her feelings.
Interests: Art: Clary is extremely knowledgeable of artwork and artists. She pours much of herself into her own works. Music: Her friend Simon is in a band and so she will accompany him to rehearsals and attend their shows. She enjoys all sorts of music. Nerd Things: Clary is almost as much of a nerd as Simon. She likes to read manga and comics and watch anime.
Personality: Clary is overall a good natured person. She loves her mother and Luke who has always been as a father to her and her best friend Simon who has been in her life almost as long as she has been alive. Because she has so few people in her life she keeps them close to her heart. She is an extremely passionate person, willing to do anything and everything to protect the people she loves. She threw herself whole heartedly into the search for a cure for her mother, went after Simon when he was kidnapped, and assisted in Simon's transformation into a vampire without thought or care to the dangers to herself. She never cares about the risk to herself, only that she has to do anything she can to keep the people in her life safe. She does however have a temper and if provoked can even become violent and throwing objects. Also her emotional breaking point tends to result in an angry outburst. She is very single minded sometimes when it comes to a goal she has. When she wants something accomplished she will stop at nothing to see it done. Clary also is a rather quiet, humble, and contained person. She doesn't care about being the prettiest girl or the most fashionable or the most popular. Simon has watched her disappear into her own head as she gets caught up on her thoughts and ideas. She doesn't have many friends, preferring the quiet and solitude of her room where she can draw and her imagination can thrive.
Weaknesses: Headstrong: Clary will do what she likes when she likes particularly when it comes to protecting those she loves, even if it puts her in imminent danger. Lack of Shadow hunter experience and knowledge: Though Clary is Nephilim she has none of the training and is almost as helpless as a mundane in a fight. Stubborn: Clary does not like being lied to or told what to do and often she'll do the opposite of what she's told just to spite whoever told her. Mortal: Though Clary is Nephilim that doesn't make her invincible or immortal she is still mortal and therefore subject to the vulnerabilities and weaknesses that it entails. Forsaken: Because Clary is a shadow hunter that has been marked, she must never have her Nephilim powers stripped from her because she will become Forsaken(a creature that used to be human but is now a twisted lumbering insane being unable to remember anything of their past life.)
Strengths:Passionate: Clary has a lot of heart and enthusiasm. She demonstrates it in her artwork and the way that she relates to people and situations, throwing herself in all the way, never looking back. Resourceful: Clary is able to easily adapt to new situations and events. She thinks fast on her feet or even off them like when she used Jace's sensor to defend herself against the Ravener demon. Creativity: Clary has an artists eye and can envision lovely people, places, and things for her drawings. She is also able to see the beauty in everything. Unrelenting: Clary will throw herself into a situation head first and not stop until she gets what she wants or finds what she is looking for.
..x.. your past[/color]
History:
Until she was fifteen years old Clary was under the impression that her mother's name was Jocelyn Fray and that her father was a soldier that had passed away before she was born named Jonathan Clark. Luke Garroway came into her life, and back into her mothers life, when she was only five years old and he became like a father to her. When Clary was six years old she met who would become her best friend, Simon Lewis. The years passed peacefully for Clary and her makeshift family and she experienced a happy, normal, and later she would learn mundane, childhood.
One night when Clary was fifteen years old, her life changed drastically. After a discussion of what Clary had seen at the Pandemonium Club, she argued with Jocelyn and left the house in a huff. While she was gone with Simon she once again ran into the golden haired boy she met at the Pandemonium club and soon after received a distressing phone call from her mother. Though Jocelyn tells her not to return home, Clary does so anyway and is put face to face with a Ravener demon which she manages to fend off until Jace shows up and helps to rescue her.
These incidents open up a whole new world to Clary. She learns of her mother's secret past and life as a Shadow Hunter and that her real father was a man named Valentine who is currently attempting to once again rise to power. She learns that Jocelyn has been having a warlock named Magnus Bane put a blinder on her Shadow Hunter sight and therefore she has been unable to see magical creatures or through glamours any better than a mundane.
In her journey to help her mother, Clary discovers that Luke is also involved and that he is a werewolf and former Shadow Hunter called Lucian Graymark.
Simon is taken captive by vampires and bites one in order to escape. Unfortunately this causes him to become a darkling and he returns to the vampires where they feed on him until he dies. The only way for him to survive at all was to complete the transformation which Clary forces them to assist with.
She also is forced to confront her relationships with both Simon and Jace. Clary had a connection with Jace from the beginning. She thought he was the most beautiful boy she'd ever seen and liked him from the start even with his snarky personality and ego. She discovers that Simon has also been in love with her all this time. She starts to date Simon only after she discovers that she and Jace are siblings. It doesn't last long though, Simon realizes that Clary doesn't feel the same way that he does and lets her go and they attempt to retain their friendship. She also later meets a handsome boy named Sebastian while she is in Idris and the moment he kisses her she realizes that something is wrong. It turns out that he is in fact her biological brother and Jace is not.
Sebastian however is revealed to be inherently evil with demon blood running in his veins. Because he also had Shadow Hunter blood he was able to enter Alicante and bring down the protective wards that kept demons out of the city.
When her mother is finally awoken thanks to Magnus Bane and the Book of the White that Clary retrieved, she finds that she is furious with her for all the lies and falsities she was forced to endure.
Clary later discovers that not only are the runes she draws more powerful than the usual shadow hunter rune, but that she can also create new runes that were not in the Grey Book. She can do this because Valentine was feeding Jocelyn food with powdered angel blood sprinkled into it while she was pregnant with Clary and it gave her enhanced abilities.
It is with this ability that Clary was able to create a the rune that bound a shadow hunter to a downworlder and allowed them to share each other strength and abilities and served to be part of Valentine's undoing. In fact Clary's abilities allowed her to thwart Valentine on any number of occasions.
Clary was the one in the end that was able to stop Valentine. She changed the configuration of the spell to allow her to have the wish of Raziel instead of Valentine who was destroyed by the very angel he summoned. Clary wished for Jace to be alive once more and everyone came together to celebrate the end of the war and Valentine's defeat.
Family: She is the daughter of Valentine Morgenstern and Jocelyn Fairchild, step daughter of Lucian Graymark. She is also the sister to Jonathan Christopher Morgenstern.
RP Sample:
...and they all lived happily ever after.
Well, that's how it was supposed to be anyway, wasn't it? Her mother Jocelyn was awake and alive and whole again. Clary had finally been able to calm down enough to understand why she had done what she'd done, even if she didn't completely agree with it, and forgive her. Luke was alive and safe and home with them. He and her mother seemed like they were finally going to get married which Clary couldn't be more thrilled about. Simon seemed to be all right as well. As all right as he could be anyway given everything that had happened to him. She still had her reservations about putting that mark on him but since it had saved his life already, she would never regret that. And then there was Jace. Jace was alive, he was not her brother, and he loved her. Everything should be wonderful in her world.
So if that was the case why was she sneaking out her bedroom in the middle of the night?
Clary grit her teeth as she lowered her pack out the window first and then slipped out after it, attempting to lower herself silently to the ground with mild success. Her black boots hit the ground but only made a soft noise on the gravel. Prior to her training Clary would probably have fallen all over herself and she was pleased to see that there was some sort of progress being made. She froze however even at soft sound. Luke's hearing was excellent and if he was awake at all he might hear her and then she would have a lot of awkward explaining to do. After a few silent moments in which Clary held her breath all the while feeling her heart hammering in her chest and willing it to quiet, she carefully picked up her pack and slipped it over her shoulders before padding through the grass and making her way out of the backyard. Clary was only able to breathe easier once she'd cleared a few blocks from her house and was well on her way to the park.
It was strange watching people walk past her without even a second glance. She had placed a rune on herself that would allow her to pass unobserved through the streets. It was the first time she'd put this type of rune on herself without someone watching or guiding her and she felt a small surge of pride knowing that she'd done it right. But that did nothing to ease the tension in her posture and the unease in her mind. The letter had simply been sitting on her bed as ordinarily as a jacket she might have tossed there upon coming home from a night out. Elegantly scripted letters had written her name on the front and the same letters formed the message on the inside. Come to this meeting in the park or her family would be hurt. And of course, she was to tell no one about it. Clary wanted to ignore it. She wanted to go to her mother or to Jace or Luke. But she found herself unable to out of fear for their safety. She had no idea who had sent the letter or what powers they might possess and she wasn't willing to risk it. She quickened her pace.
The park was damp. It had rained earlier in the day and the moisture still hung in the air and the soft earth hindered her steps. Clary was quickly approaching the designated location when she caught movement out of the corner of her eye. "Alec?" She asked bewildered, "What are you doing here?"
"I was about to ask you the same question." Alec took a step forward from the tree on which he had been leaning. "I got a letter. I trust you had nothing to do with writing it?" He added suspiciously.
Clary's hand went to her coat pocket that now contained her own letter, "No." She shook her head, "I got one too."
"As did I." Came a third voice. It was a girl that Clary had seen before and though she looked strikingly familiar, she couldn't place where she knew her dark curly hair and stormy gray eyes from.
"Who are you?" Alec asked the newcomer.
"My name is Theresa," She paused as though she were deliberating and then added, "But most people call me Tessa."
"You say you got a letter too Theresa?" Alec's gaze was fixed on the tall girl. Clary might have been mistaken and it was only a trick of the light but she could swear that she saw Tessa's lip's twitching as though she might smile or even laugh.
But the girl didn't smile. Instead her face grew hard, "The letter threatened my family if I did not turn up tonight so here I am."
"Why us three?" Clary mused out loud.
"That is none of your concern."
Clary turned as a forth person joined their circle. "Meliorn?"
"You will follow me now." Was all he said. Apparently the Seelie Queen was behind this. Clary supposed she should have guessed.
The other girl, Tessa, followed fearlessly after Meliorn without hesitation. Clary shot a look at Alec who simply shrugged and then followed after the girl. Clary sighed and touched her pack in which she'd brought seraph blades and a few daggers. Her stele was stuck in her coat pocket where she could reach it more easily. In her pack was also an old painting of her mothers, no bigger than a paperback novel. Another demand of the mysterious note, though what the fairy queen could want with a painting of her mothers was anyone's guess.
