A 2007-2014 Urban Fantasy series by Cassandra Clare, and the books that spawned the The Shadowhunter Chronicles.The series follows the teenage Clary Fray after she witnesses three teenagers apparently commit murder in a nightclub — but no one else can see them. Not long later, she goes home to discover that her apartment's been trashed and her mother's gone missing. Soon she and her Childhood Friend, Simon, are dragged into the world of Shadowhunters. The three teenagers, Jace, Alec, and Isabelle, explain their world to her: mythical creatures such as vampires and werewolves do exist, known to them as Downworlders, and that Shadowhunters are a special "breed" of people that act like supernatural policemen, making sure that Mundanes are safe and never find out about the demons that are invading their dimension.But things aren't over for Clary just yet. There's a war on the horizon - the Shadowhunters against massive demon forces conjured by the man who took her mother, Valentine. Clary's personal life is not without its own drama - her relationship with Simon is slowly getting more and more complicated, and what is she to do about the beautiful and elusive Jace, who seems very attracted to her?Originally conceived as a trilogy, dangling plot threads were meant to be tied up in a graphic novel. The author found that dissatisfactory, however, and added another three books to the series, and began working on several other series set in the shared universe.The books in this series are: City of Bones (2007) City of Ashes (2008) City of Glass (2009) City of Fallen Angels (2011) City of Lost Souls (2012) City of Heavenly Fire (2014)A film version called The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones was released August 2013, with Lily Collins and Jamie Campbell Bower having been cast as Clary and Jace; the sequel was scheduled to start filming in 2014, but has since been cancelled.There is also a television series entitled Shadowhunters. The first episode was aired in January, 2016 and the last in May 2019.This series has a character sheet. Please put all character-related tropes there.

 The Mortal Instruments / int_1240ff57
comment
Thinking Up Portals: Warlocks can do this, although the spell is fairly advanced. The Clave often hires them to provide portals as necessary. Clary can also do it, thanks to a rune revealed to her by the angel Ithuriel. However, it is not one of the runes from the Gray Book, and other Shadowhunters do not seem to be able to learn it, or at least are unwilling to try.

Relationship Upgrade

comment
Clary is raised by her mother Jocelyn, and thinks of her mother's devoted, if platonic, boyfriend Luke who is really a Shadowhunter named Lucian Graymark that was turned into a werewolf as her stepfather. He later gets a Relationship Upgrade with Jocelyn. She believes her biological father was a soldier killed in action, but he is really the Big Bad Valentine Morgenstern.

Brainwashed and Crazy: In City of Fallen Angels, after his rebirth, Jace is left vulnerable to demonic possession; his death erased the protective effects of a magic ritual all newborn Shadowhunters are given to protect them demonic possession. Lilith takes advantage of his new weakness, sending him nightmares and forcing him to do her bidding. Even after she's defeated, Jace is then forced into a corrupted form of the parabatai bond, wherein Sebastian imposes his will and beliefs onto Jace. Amatis Herondale in City of Lost Souls, after Sebastian captures her and forces her to drink from the Infernal Cup, turning her into a Dark Shadowhunter. Also happens to the other Endarkened Shadowhunters, including the Blackthorns' father, Andrew.

The Place
 The Mortal Instruments / int_1c21e3fb
comment
The Place: The first three books refer to a place in-universe. The last three, on the other hand, are metaphorical. Both City of Bones and City of Ashes refer to Silent City, an underground catacomb and the home of the Silent Brothers. The former is an epithet, while the latter indicates its situation after Valentine sent a demon who massacred the Brothers. City of Glass refers to Alicante, the capital city of the Shadowhunter home country of Idris. It received the epithet "City of Glass" because of the massive demon towers that surround it.

 The Mortal Instruments / int_1cc527d7
comment
Asskicking Leads to Leadership: On more than one occasion when Luke has needed to acquire some allies in a hurry his solution has been to find the nearest werewolf pack, kill the Alpha and take over as leader. In City of Heavenly Fire, Maia takes down an usurper of the New York Clan in an absolutely vicious Curb-Stomp Battle which leads to her becoming temporary head and later permanent head of the New York Clan after Luke's retirement.

 The Mortal Instruments / int_1dfbbf31

Heterosexual Life-Partners: Jace Wayland and Alec Lightwood. Alec's sexuality and initial attraction to Jace notwithstanding, the two share a "parabatai" bond which is explicitly stated as being a permanent bond of partnership even stronger than that of brothers. Jonathan Shadowhunter with David the Silent, inspired by their Biblical namesakes who were also examples of this trope. They were the very first parabatai.

Lawful Stupid
 The Mortal Instruments / int_1e12b5b7
comment
This is the default stance of the Clave, although some members take it all the way to evil or just plain Lawful Stupid. Maryse Lightwood also counts, as she allows the Inquisitor to behave rather barbarically towards Jace, her adopted son, until the Inquisitor openly violates the Law and she can justify defying her.

Emotional Maturity Is Physical Maturity
 The Mortal Instruments / int_200422a4
comment
Emotional Maturity Is Physical Maturity: True up to a point with warlocks. Most of them stop visibly aging when they reach adulthood, and they do not become elderly people in young bodies usually. Magnus in particular somewhat consciously tries to act the age he looks. But he also states that older warlocks do start to become emotionally detached. Fairies and vampires are more variable though. For example, Raphael Santiago looks about 14 or 15, but acts like a Grumpy Old Man, which he is. Aside from Fantastic Racism, most people tend to interact as peers despite real age differences. Arrogant Clave members think nothing of acting older and wiser than Downworlders that are many times their age. A romantic relationship between Alec (18) and Magnus (400+), is not seem as problematic except for the Mayfly–December Romance issue and Alec's later jealousy over the sheer number of past lovers Magnus has had.

Trilogy Creep
 The Mortal Instruments / int_22c41566
comment
Trilogy Creep: First, there was the original trilogy (City of Bones, City of Ashes, and City of Glass). Then, it was announced that Clare was writing The Infernal Devices, a steampunk prequel trilogy set in Victorian London (The Clockwork Angel, The Clockwork Prince, and The Clockwork Princess). Then, a fourth book centered around the Simon character of the first trilogy was revealed to be in the works (City of Fallen Angels). Then Clare decided to add two more books to The Mortal Instruments story (City of Lost Souls and City of Heavenly Fire) while also stating that this new trilogy of MI books would no longer focus solely on Simon but rather on the entire cast. This YA fantasy book series literally tripled in size. Almost humorously, after writing City of Glass Clare stated in an interview that she liked half-open endings, and deliberately left hers that way, and that she had no intention of continuing it. It has far more than tripled now. In addition to The Mortal Instruments and The Infernal Devices, The Dark Artifices wrapped up its publication in 2018, The Eldest Curses and The Last Hours are ongoing, and there has been talks for a new trilogy to end all (Shadowhunter) trilogies, The Wicked Powers. Note that all of these are separate series within the same universe, and each trilogy (not including the double-trilogy of The Mortal Instruments) is written so that it can be read on its own.

Only Sane Man: Simon Lewis. Recognized that loving Clary was a dead end, and had enough self-respect to let her go and move on to Isabelle and Maia. Prior to the start of the series, the more levelheaded Alec served as this to his risk-taking siblings, Isabelle and Jace.

Defrosting Ice Queen: Like her brother, Isabelle Lightwood is not very fond of Clary at first. Later, though, she begins to open up to her. By the second half, Isabelle is Clary's closest girl friend (not that she has much). Imogen Herondale starts out frosty and unapproachable, but suffers several humbling failures and by the end of City of Ashes she performs a Heroic Sacrifice to save Jace after learning that he was her grandson.

Narrative Profanity Filter: The series uses this. Examples include, in City of Bones, Alec said something that rhymes with 'ducking glass mole' and in City of Ashes, has Jace suggested that the whole cast of Gilligan's Island could do something anatomically unlikely to themselves. At one point a character's lines are simply described as "something unprintable".

Raphael Santiago is in some cases an even better example than Isabelle, but it's played with as while he's certainly proud and he does see himself and vampires as elite, the magical world (re:the Clave) does not see them as so. Though it's later established that Raphael just Hates Everyone Equally.

Unequal Pairing
 The Mortal Instruments / int_328b32
comment
Unequal Pairing: The main source of tension in Alec and Magnus' relationship. Alec is a Shadowhunter in his late-teens who is rather reserved, insecure about his homosexuality and has never been in a relationship. Magnus is a 400+ year old warlock with immense magical powers, is not getting any older physically-speaking, has had innumerable relationships over the centuries and is very secretive about himself even though he knows virtually everything about Alec. Initially, Magnus pretty much dictates all of the terms of their relationship and it causes a lot of problems. They get over it, and the relationship starts to become better balanced as it progresses.

Extra-Strength Masquerade: The Shadow World is generally invisible to Mundanes. Many Downworlders strut around fairly openly, relying on humanity's natural Weirdness Censor to cause people to not see them for what they really are. The Shadowhunters, being almost human, put a modest amount of magical effort into rendering themselves unnoticeable in everyday society. Also, their country apparently doesn't exist.

Anguished Declaration of Love: Clary gets one from Simon and another from Jace. Jocelyn gets one from Luke in City of Glass.

The Proud Elite
 The Mortal Instruments / int_3b49c783
comment
The Proud Elite: A female example: Isabelle Lightwood, who has Raven Hair, Ivory Skin, is extremely cold and proud, and actively partakes in Shadowhunters' Fantastic Racism. She defrosts rather quickly, though. Raphael Santiago is in some cases an even better example than Isabelle, but it's played with as while he's certainly proud and he does see himself and vampires as elite, the magical world (re:the Clave) does not see them as so. Though it's later established that Raphael just Hates Everyone Equally. Speaking of the Clave, they seem to be having some feudal fantasy wherein they perceive themselves to be a kind of warrior-nobility charged with protecting the mundane peasantry. Modernity has, if anything, had an inverse effect on social change here. While as recently as the 19th Century the Clave would employ the Mortal Cup to grant Ascension to select mundanes, by the time Jocelyn made off with the Cup it was no longer being used anyway. Likewise, while past generations of Shadowhunters could sometimes get away with marrying mundanes (their children would always be Nephilim regardless), the Clave started aggressively cracking down on these kinds of relationships. As a result their population was dangerously shrinking by the turn of the Millennium. Aline Penhallow. Her behavior towards Simon is neither actively malicious nor self-consciously snobbish. But the way that she talks to, and about (in his presence), him bears a distinct resemblance to a member of an old-fashioned aristocracy meeting her very first peasant.

Letter Motif: In City of Bones, "JC" is a significant pair of initials. It's for Clary's false father Jonathan Clark, her not really dead brother Jonathan Christopher, the latter name of which serves as the basis for Jace's name which pushed up the drama when he and Clary thought they were siblings.

Skewed Priorities: When Simon gets turned into a rat in City of Bones, Alec's says this is bad... because it's illegal to turn mundanes into rats. Then Jace points out that it technically wasn't their fault, before Clary screams at them to shut up and save Simon.

comment
Power Tattoo: The Shadowhunters have the ability to carve (usually temporary, occasionally permanent) tattoos on themselves, giving them a variety of abilities, such as Super Strength, Super Speed, etc. However, not all of these are good. Valentine's endgame plan is to have the entire Clave enslaved and under his control by having all Shadowhunters accept a permanent Obedience Rune. In City of Glass, Simon receives the Mark of Cain, which dates way back to the book of Genesis. Clary puts it on him to save his life. It actually comes in handy several times during City of Fallen Angels, as anybody who tries to lay hands on him gets punishment laid down on them sevenfold. In City of Lost Souls, the angel Raziel removes the Mark of Cain when Simon summons him, in exchange for a heavenly sword to sever the bond beyond Jace and Johnathan/Sebastian.

 The Mortal Instruments / int_3ff156fa
comment
Nay-Theist: Jace Wayland believes that there is a God, just not that God cares, after seeing his father murdered in front of him. The Clave as a whole is extremely irreligious considering that they are a group of enhanced humans whose gifts were very explicitly granted to them by an archangel. While they show a notable interest in angelology, and can name more angels than most people who are not professional theologians, they tend to steer clear of discussions about God. The Nephilim have no churches, synagogues, mosques, etc. in Idris, and when seeking consecrated ground for their Institutes they are prone to using sites that were formerly mundane locations of worship. They also rely heavily on holy water, but do not produce it themselves, instead getting it from various mundane religions.

Bittersweet Ending: In the first half, Valentine is defeated, Jace and Clary can pursue a relationship, Alec came out without any immediate backlash, and the Downworlders have gained representatives on the Council. On the other hand, Max was murdered, Simon is bearing the Mark of Cain, Sebastian's body has vanished, and the Seelie Queen is holding a grudge against Clary. In the second half, Sebastian and his Endarkened are defeated with minimal casualties to the main cast, and everyone's relationships are either going well or getting back on track. Unfortunately, the Clave has passed legislature against faeries that is sure to backfire, Mark is abandoned to the Wild Hunt, Helen is sent away, and Julian was forced to kill his father in front of his younger siblings.

Sufficiently Analyzed Magic: The Spiral Labyrinth is a hidden library and research facility where warlocks with a scholarly bent study and experiment with both existing spells as well as developing new ones. They also accept commissions (such as from the Clave) to develop specific magic as needed. The Silent Brothers do similar work in the Silent City, but are more narrowly-focused since they must work within the bounds of the runic knowledge granted to the Nephilim by the Angel Raziel.

Once they have all three, Raziel will come to them and will grant any single wish the summoner wants. Or rather, he won't smite them the moment he appears and might consider granting that single wish. Well...

Love Dodecahedron: Clary falls for Jace. Long time best friend Simon has always loved Clary, but Clary doesn't find out until later. Alec has a crush on Jace, who doesn't find out at all. Simon has a crush on Isabelle, Alec's sister. She loathes him when they first meet but he grows on her. By the end of City of Bones, Jace has fallen for Clary as well. Later, Maia is introduced. She likes Simon, and he likes her back. But we can't let anything in this story be simple. Sorry Simon.. By now, Magnus Bane has been introduced. Guess who ends up with him? In City of Glass, yet another player is introduced, Sebastian. Clary has a short fling with him. Only it turns out that Jace and Clary aren't actually related. But in Sebastian aka Jonathan's case, it's for real. And he knew it. Then there's Jocelyn's love history, which is simpler (Lucian / Valentine), or other side love interests like Isabelle's fling with Meliorn or Maia's ex Jordan. As of City of Heavenly Fire, Clary/Jace is on, Alec/Magnus is on, Simon/Isabelle is off but probably not for much longer, Jocelyn/Lucian is on, and Maia/Jordan is off (because he's dead), though Maia has found another love in Bat.

Long-Lost Relative: Valentine Morgenstern is Clary’s biological father. Clary's brother is still alive. And, in one way or another, she has kissed him: she falls in love with Jace before the two are falsely revealed to be siblings, and she kisses Sebastian before he reveals himself to be her actual brother. Amatis Herondale to Luke, more or less, although it's more of the fact that they're estranged siblings and Luke's afraid that she'd blame him for her divorce.

Clary Fray. Clary sage is a plant historically used to help clear the eyes, so Clary is a name suitable for a heroine who sees the Shadow world, which most people are blind to. The meaning behind her name is mentioned by Jace upon learning it in City of Bones. Subverted, in that her father wanted to name her Seraphina, which derives from "seraphim", a class of angels. Her mother named her Clarissa instead.

Distinguishing Mark: Jace has a star-shaped mark on his shoulder which is a birthmark of Herondale family.

Simon gains the ability to walk in sunlight, nicknaming him "Daylighter" and the Mark of Cain, though he later loses the latter.

Holy Ground
 The Mortal Instruments / int_47804320
comment
Idris, a small country in Western Europe that was built out of a Holy Ground designated by Raziel for Shadowhunters to settle. The borders are enchanted so mundanes cannot enter simply by stumbling upon it (they will simply be transported to the other side if they try). The capital city, Alicante, is protected by massive demon towers that prevent demons from entering it from the outside. In addition to Shadowhunters, Downworlders also live in Idris, though very few live in Alicante, with the majority settling in Brocelind Forest on the outskirts. Though it is considered their homeland, Idris only hosts a part of the Shadowhunter population, most of whom live among Mundanes. The entire Shadowhunter population, however, may be called if there is an emergency, such as when the Endarkened attack the Institutes.

Early-Installment Weirdness: The first three books barely make note of the parabatai bond. Strange, considering how important it is in the prequel series. The second half of the series compensates by emphasizing the bond several times. The Forsaken are only significant in City of Bones. After that, they are barely mentioned at all. In City of Bones it is explicitly stated that vampires can change shape. Notably, the local vampires mistake Simon for one of their clan when he gets turned into a rat and they think he's just drunk. This never comes up again. Likewise, their flying motorcycles get phased out of the series as it progresses.

Magic Versus Science
 The Mortal Instruments / int_511728ae
comment
Magic Versus Science: The extensive wards that conceal and protect Idris also appear to interfere with technology. Hence the Shadowhunters do not use things like automobiles to get around within the country, even though those that live elsewhere are quite familiar with them. Witchlight is used to provide things like illumination that would normally be powered by electricity in other countries. Elaborate mechanical devices, possibly related to phonographs, are used to play music. There is no cellular coverage or internet access naturally, and the only working phone in the country was enchanted by a warlock. It is also noted that Runes interfere with the proper ignition of gunpowder, which is why Shadowhunters do not make use of firearms.

Black-and-Grey Morality: The impetus of the series is Valentine Morgenstern's belief that all Downworlders should be exterminated, despite Shadowhunter laws that protect him. Pretty evil right? Then you learn that despite these supposed protections, prejudice against Downworlders is pretty heavily ingrained into Shadowhunter culture. The issue is lampshaded several times throughout the series, but it comes to a head at the end of City of Heavenly Fire when the Clave begins passing legislature inhibiting the freedom of faeries, despite Magnus' warnings that it will only cause future problems. If that wasn't enough, they also begin discriminating against Shadowhunters with faerie blood, abandoning one who was kidnapped by faeries and risked his life to leak vital intelligence. The author herself says that was intended to make the readers realize that the Clave isn't just flawed and in need of a few tweaks, but crippled by its own prejudice.

 The Mortal Instruments / int_5cbb67eb
comment
Pocket Dimension: That Idris, hidden or not, should be taking up measurable space between France and Germany but remains undetected is attributed to Raziel metaphorically blowing it like a bubble. Faerie is implied to be this. Not merely a place underground, but a small world adjacent to the real one. The majority of which outsiders never get to see (or at least never leave if they do). Silent City and the Spiral Labyrinth are also supposed to be this. Hence the Silent Brothers can come and go through various entrances around the world. The warlocks' great library is hidden even from the Clave, although they can apparently deliver supplies to Idris via Portal upon request. Valentine's extradimensional apartment, which is mostly used by Sebastian. Because it exists at a slightly different dimensional "angle" relative to Earth it is nigh-impossible to locate it, as well as anyone or anything inside, magically from the normal world.

You Kill It, You Bought It: This is the standard promotion method for vampire clans and werewolve packs. It's mentioned a few times that when Luke has to gather a squad to assist him, he just has to come to a nearby werewolf pack, kill its leader, then assume leadership. In City of Lost Souls, Maureen Brown becomes leader of the New York vampire clan after killing Camille Belcourt. And when Lily assists Maia in killing Maureen, the former becomes the new leader. In City of Heavenly Fire, Maia takes control of the New York werewolf pack by killing Rufus Hastings.

Witchlight stones will only illuminate in the hands of those who have angelic blood, and are thus typically only used by Shadowhunters. However, when Alec drops his, Magnus picks it up and it proceeds to glow, albeit in changing colors rather than pure white. Magnus's father, Asmodeus, is not one of the demons spawned by Lilith, he is a Fallen Angel, one of the ones that originally rebelled against God.

Late-Arrival Spoiler: The cover of City of Lost Souls spoils the romantic plot arc of the first three books of the series, revealing that Clary and Jace are not brother and sister and, indeed, are in a romantic relationship.

Big Damn Kiss: Alec finally outs himself in City of Glass by kissing Magnus in front of, well, everybody. Jace and Clary's first kiss in City of Bones, and their kiss in the faerie court in City of Ashes, also count.

Bio-Augmentation: Valentine's experiments with angel and demon blood is a plot point in the series: Valentine unknowingly added angel's blood to Clary before she was born. He also added angel's blood to Jace before he was born, through the naivete of his birth mother Celine Herondale. The first experiment Valentine did was feeding Jocelyn demon (specifically, Lilith's) blood while she was pregnant with Jonathan. The result is a black-eyed, Nigh-Invulnerable child immune to most demonic weapons.

Big Brother Instinct

comment
Big Brother Instinct: Jace tends to be very protective of his adopted siblings. Alec takes his job as the oldest Lightwood sibling very seriously. And he's also the only one of them to be at least eighteen, making him legally an 'adult'. Simon's sister Rebecca becomes increasingly concerned about Simon's cutting communications with her over the course of City of Lost Souls, and eventually manages to meet with him. When she briefly believes that their mother has brainwashed or harmed him in some way, the way she reacts indicated it would not have gone well for their mom if that had been the case. And when he reveals his vampirism to her, she accepts it almost immediately after getting over the shock, and assures him she'll love him no matter what.

The Reveal
 The Mortal Instruments / int_6b2b3b59
comment
The Reveal: City of Bones: Clary is a Shadowhunter. Jocelyn was married to Valentine. Alec is gay. The Mortal Cup was hidden in a playing card in Dorothy's apartment. Alec is in love with Jace. Hodge was a traitor to the Clave. Luke is a werewolf. Valentine is Clary's father. Valentine is Jace's father, making Clary and Jace siblings. City of Ashes: Alec and Magnus are in a relationship. The Inquisitor had hid a tracking device in Jace's shard of the mirror. City of Glass: Sebastian Verlac was someone else in disguise. Sam was actually Hodge. The Mortal Glass was actually Lake Lyn. Clary and Jace are part angel. invokedA bunch of reveals come all at once: Jace isn't Clary's brother, Sebastian/Jonathan is, Jace is part of the Herondale family, Valentine is Sebastian/Jonathan's father, not Jace's, and Jonathan was disguising as Sebastian. Simon can walk in daylight because he drank angel blood. One of the high-ranking clave members was a traitor to Valentine. City of Fallen Angels: Kyle is actually Jordan, and he's a werewolf. Camille was working for Lilith the entire time. And Lilith herself turns out to be the woman who approaches Simon after one of his gigs. Sebastian isn't dead. He was brought to death's door after Jace stabbed him, but because of Clary's request for Raziel to resurrect Jace, Sebastian was tied to life with him, so if one lives the other lives too.

Meaningful Name
 The Mortal Instruments / int_6bda9a30
comment
Meaningful Name: Clary Fray. Clary sage is a plant historically used to help clear the eyes, so Clary is a name suitable for a heroine who sees the Shadow world, which most people are blind to. The meaning behind her name is mentioned by Jace upon learning it in City of Bones. Subverted, in that her father wanted to name her Seraphina, which derives from "seraphim", a class of angels. Her mother named her Clarissa instead. Valentine Morgenstern. "Morgenstern" means "morning star" - signifying, of course, Lucifer. He also crafted two weapons whose names allude to the literal meaning of "Lucifer" in Latin ("light-bearer"): Phaesphoros and Heosphoros mean "light-bearer" and "dawn-bearer" in Ancient Greek, respectively. Luke Garroway sounds like loup-garou, French for werewolf.

Dead Person Impersonation: Valentine killed Michael Wayland and his infant son (using that baby to make Jocelyn believe her son Jonathan was dead) and took over Michael Wayland's identity while raising Jace (who was Stephen Herondale's son, whom he cut out of her dead mother's womb). It's complicated. The real Sebastian Verlac's actually been Dead All Along, with Jonathan Christopher having taken over his identity after he murdered the former.

Coming-Out Story: In City of Glass, Alec Lightwood comes out rather awesomely by kissing Magnus in the middle of the entire Clave, including his parents. Parodied, when Luke gets Simon a pamphlet called 'How To Come Out to Your Parents' when he becomes a vampire and tells him to adapt it to suit the situation. Neither Simon nor Clary is amused. In City of Lost Souls, it's revealed that Aline was inspired by Alec's coming out and chose to come out herself, dating Helen afterwards. It's said that Jia and Patrick silently accepted it.

But Not Too Foreign: A lot of these in non-white characters.

His father is a Greater Demon, so Magnus solely inherited her look. Maia Roberts is half-white, half-black. Aline Penhallow. Her father's white, her mother's Chinese.

At the end of City Of Glass, Clary decides to wish Jace back to life. Which is great except she seems to have forgotten about all the other shadowhunters that died. Real considerate there, Clary. Though considering what happens it causes Jonathan to come back to life and create an anti-nephilium group, this might have been such a bad thing. She usually grabs the Idiot Ball and runs with it whenever Jace is involved, like when possessed!Jace is able to trick her into mind-control just by batting his eyelashes at her and playing on her hormones. When she willingly stabs him with Glorious in City of Lost Souls, this is a major Character Development, because she is able to put aside her feelings in favor of the world.

Valentine did in fact have an actual son with Jocelyn, Jonathan, whom he raised in secret. Jonathan disguises himself as Sebastian Verlac, a cousin of the prominent Penhallow family.

Super Empowering: Ascension, drinking the blood of Raziel from the Mortal Cup can transform mundane humans into Nephilim. Though not everyone survives the process, and it apparently is riskier the older the mundane is. Being bitten by a vampire or werewolf. Their respective conditions are actually demonic diseases with the bite as a vector. Nothing less than an Archangel or a Prince of Hell can turn somebody who has been changed back into a mundane as far as is known.

Demon Slaying
 The Mortal Instruments / int_79ceeeb
comment
Although Shadowhunters, like most of modern society, do not consider children to be adults until they are eighteen (which is the youngest age at which they can even attend Clave meetings), it is apparently acceptable for children much younger than that to participate in Demon Slaying without adult supervision. At the start of City of Bones, Alec is the oldest of the protagonists being only one that is eighteen years old. The movie seems to try to avert this by making all the characters a few years older than they are in the books.

Cannot Tell a Lie: Faeries always tell the truth, though they may exploit loopholes, refrain from disclosing anything not explicitly asked, or twist the facts. Half-faeries on the other hand don't abide by this rule, which is why the Seelie Queen tasked the half-faerie Meliorn as the faerie representative to the Clave. The Clave expect him to always tell the truth, so they trust him when he said that the Fair Folk are not allying themselves with Sebastian.

Straight Gay: Alec Lightwood, doesn't have any stereotypical gay traits, although several people manage to figure it out anyway.

Interspecies Romance: Played straight with Magnus and Alec. No pun intended. Every witch and warlock is the offspring of a human and a demon (though Word of God says that most of these cases are rape, not romance), in City of Ashes Isabelle is dating a faerie knight. The fey themselves are the offspring of demons and angels. Jocelyn and Luke and Isabelle and Simon, as of City of Lost Souls, are in the same vein as Tonks and Lupin from Harry Potter, with their lycanthropy and vampirism respectively being more like diseases than a genetic trait, though there are born werewolves in-universe. Helen and Mark Blackthorn are half-fey as well.

The Fair Folk: Fairies are rarely trustworthy. Although they cannot lie, they are masters of evasion. They also have a definite sadistic streak and will ally with good or evil depending on where they think their interests are best served.

Bratty Teenage Daughter
 The Mortal Instruments / int_8a1215e0
comment
Bratty Teenage Daughter: Clary Fray is often pretty self-absorbed. Even though she is unconcerned about things like popularity, she can be rather heedless of other people's feelings, tends to jump into dangerous situations without thinking about it and will do whatever she wants even if it literally results in endangering the entire world. Luke calls her out on it one time, when she tries to blindly Portal to Idris and she is shocked because he has never chastised her before. By the second half of the series, she has begun shedding this trait; in the climax of City of Lost Souls, she chooses to sacrifice her own personal happiness (and to atone for what she did; she did technically start the whole mess) in favor of saving the world when she stabs Jace with Glorious, despite it being potentially fatal. Isabelle Lightwood has some shades of this, constantly complaining and lashing out at her parents. It turns out it's mostly a ploy to distract their parents from Alec's homosexuality.

Sibling Yin-Yang: Isabelle and Alec Lightwood. Isabelle is not averse to showing off her beauty, is generally nicer, and like Jace, always rushing headfirst into demon-slaying. Unlike her, Clary notes that Alec is shyer, easier to guilt, and tries everything he can to downplay the good looks he shares with his sister. It's implied that Isabelle is the way she is in part because she wants to draw attention from her brother's homosexuality, as she does not want her parents to find out when he wasn't ready.

Guinea Pig Family: Valentine experimented on his own children in the womb to create better Shadowhunters. He infused Jonathan/Sebastian with demon blood, which made him horrifically strong but had the unfortunate side-effects of making him soulless and Jocelyn depressed. To make her feel better he gave her angel blood, not knowing she was pregnant with Clary at the time...

The Shadowhunters received their special abilities from drinking the blood of the angel Raziel given to them in the Mortal Cup. New Shadowhunters can also be created this way, although the process is risky. Jonathan Morgenstern arranged the creation of the Infernal Cup, tainted by the blood of Lilith, which can turn humans and Shadowhunters into Endarkened Shadowhunters.

Two-Part Trilogy: City of Fallen Angels was originally supposed to be a one-shot Graphic Novel follow-up to the original trilogy focusing on Simon Lewis, until Cassandra Clare decided to make it the start of a second trilogy. This is why it puts an unusually heavy emphasis on Simon's story that gradually gets winded down by the next two books.

Medieval Stasis: Idris.

Training the Gift of Magic
 The Mortal Instruments / int_93b39134
comment
Training the Gift of Magic: Warlocks and Shadowhunters are an example of this. Warlocks are the hybrid offspring of demons and possess an innate ability to wield magic. But they can only do so in the most crude ways without training in magical languages, writing and spells. Likewise, the Shadowhunters have angelic blood that gives them the potential to scribe magical runes from the language of Heaven. However, this is akin to learning calligraphy, as the runes are often very complex. They also have to be drawn with focused intent using an implement called a stele (analogous to a wand) in order to work. Most Shadowhunters only know a fraction of runes originally given to them by the Angel Raziel.

Sword of Plot Advancement: Much of the action in the first three novels involves locating and recovering the titular Mortal Instruments, one of which is literally a sword, "Maellartach". Some other items, like the Book of the White, are also the subject of quests. Then in City of Lost Souls it is again literally a sword, in this case "Glorious", the sword of the Archangel Michael.

Sliding Scale of Vampire Friendliness: The vampires in the series go back and forth on this. On one hand, when Simon is turned, he gets the bloodlust and can't go out in daylight, and can't even say a single bible verse, or the name of God. But his attitude stays pretty much the same. Nearly all of the other vampires, on the other hand, are assholes.

Foreshadowing: In City of Bones, Simon makes a joke about Jewish Vampires. That's exactly what he ends up becoming in City of Ashes. Witchlight stones will only illuminate in the hands of those who have angelic blood, and are thus typically only used by Shadowhunters. However, when Alec drops his, Magnus picks it up and it proceeds to glow, albeit in changing colors rather than pure white. Magnus's father, Asmodeus, is not one of the demons spawned by Lilith, he is a Fallen Angel, one of the ones that originally rebelled against God.

Gratuitous Greek
 The Mortal Instruments / int_a059270
comment
Gratuitous Greek: Interestingly averted despite the regular use of Gratuitous Latin and the fact that Shadowhunters are usually educated in both Classical languages. While it is mentioned that some texts, such as the Book of the White, are written in Greek, nobody seems to drop any Greek phrases to anybody that would not be expected to already know the language anyway, even though they often do so with Latin. The message that Sebastian gives to the New York Institute at the end of City of Lost Souls is erkhomai, which is Ancient Greek for "I'm coming." The Morgenstern's ancestral swords are named Phaesphoros and Heosphoros, Ancient Greek for "light-bearer" and "dawn-bearer" respectively. Also, Phaesphoros means exactly the same as "Lucifer".

Gratuitous Latin: In widespread usage here.

To Be Lawful or Good
 The Mortal Instruments / int_a922f8de
comment
To Be Lawful or Good: A common quandary for Shadowhunters. The Clave is often rather clueless, even about the actions and motives of its own members. As a result the heroes must often struggle with deciding whether to follow the Law, or do what is necessary and/or right. This is the default stance of the Clave, although some members take it all the way to evil or just plain Lawful Stupid. Maryse Lightwood also counts, as she allows the Inquisitor to behave rather barbarically towards Jace, her adopted son, until the Inquisitor openly violates the Law and she can justify defying her.

Hidden Elf Village
 The Mortal Instruments / int_a971e83c
comment
Hidden Elf Village: Idris, a small country in Western Europe that was built out of a Holy Ground designated by Raziel for Shadowhunters to settle. The borders are enchanted so mundanes cannot enter simply by stumbling upon it (they will simply be transported to the other side if they try). The capital city, Alicante, is protected by massive demon towers that prevent demons from entering it from the outside. In addition to Shadowhunters, Downworlders also live in Idris, though very few live in Alicante, with the majority settling in Brocelind Forest on the outskirts. Though it is considered their homeland, Idris only hosts a part of the Shadowhunter population, most of whom live among Mundanes. The entire Shadowhunter population, however, may be called if there is an emergency, such as when the Endarkened attack the Institutes. The Insitutes are a smaller case of this. They are little enclaves of Idris spread throughout the world and serve as official residences of the Conclave heads well as safe havens for Shadowhunters who need protection, basically serving like embassies. Mundanes can only enter if they are accompanied by Shadowhunters. Since the Institutes are built atop holy ground, vampires cannot enter them, requiring Sanctuaries to be built atop non-holy ground adjoining the main buildings. The Adamant Citadel, the home of the Iron Sisters, is off-limits even to normal Shadowhunters. Only female Shadowhunters may activate the bridge to enter the building and, unless they are fellow Sisters, they have to stop at the waiting room.

 The Mortal Instruments / int_abc60c5d
comment
Harmful to Minors: Although Shadowhunters, like most of modern society, do not consider children to be adults until they are eighteen (which is the youngest age at which they can even attend Clave meetings), it is apparently acceptable for children much younger than that to participate in Demon Slaying without adult supervision. At the start of City of Bones, Alec is the oldest of the protagonists being only one that is eighteen years old. The movie seems to try to avert this by making all the characters a few years older than they are in the books. Jace's childhood, basically, the least of which involved his father murdering his pet falcon.

Klingon Promotion: Werewolves have formalized this as a way for potential leaders to ascend. In City of Bones, it's casually stated that Luke killed the head of New York werewolf pack so he could gain manpower to storm Valentine's hideout. In City of Heavenly Fire, Maia kills Rufus, a potential challenger to Luke's position, and Luke later formally gives the position to her.

 The Mortal Instruments / int_b43dfc8d
comment
Your Days Are Numbered: In City of Ashes, when Clary destroys Valentine's ship with a single mark, an awed Valentine says "Mene mene tekel upharsin", in reference to the Biblical quote above. It's given an Ironic Echo later in City of Glass, when Clary engineers the failure of all his plans as well as his own death. He's sealed her mouth, so she writes "MENE MENE TEKEL UPHARSIN" in the sand at his feet.

Came Back Wrong: The method to create new vampires involves this. The subjects are brought to near-death as the vampire infection begins to penetrate their bodies. Once complete, they will have to be buried in a cemetery, after which they will rise up as vampires. In City of Fallen Angels, it is revealed that when Jace was resurrected by Raziel after Valentine killed him in City of Glass, all protection spells he received as a kid were wiped clean since by being resurrected, he is treated as if he was reborn into a second life. This gives Lilith a chance to mark him as her subject.

Viral Transformation
 The Mortal Instruments / int_bf26c02e
comment
Viral Transformation: Common from exposure to angelic or demonic influences and/or bodily fluids. The Shadowhunters received their special abilities from drinking the blood of the angel Raziel given to them in the Mortal Cup. New Shadowhunters can also be created this way, although the process is risky. Jonathan Morgenstern arranged the creation of the Infernal Cup, tainted by the blood of Lilith, which can turn humans and Shadowhunters into Endarkened Shadowhunters. Consumption of angel or demon blood generally, even in dried form, can result in changes to a person or their offspring. Valentine, Jocelyn, Clary, Jace and especially Jonathan were all altered to some extent in this way due to Valentine's experimentation with the blood. Vampires and werewolves are the descendants of two different species of demons. They can transmit their condition to humans, and even Shadowhunters, via bite.

Informed Attribute: The parabatai bond. Although it supposedly makes two Nephilim "closer than brothers", Alec and Jace usually seem to have little or no ability to read each other. Alec often fails to get when Jace is being sarcastic (despite the fact that Jace is almost always sarcastic). Jace had no idea that Alec was just pretending to side with the Inquisitor in order to keep her from suspecting that he intended to help Jace. Despite the alleged combat advantages of the bond, they do not really seem any more effective when fighting together than they do with others, such as Isabelle. Cassandra appears to have noticed this problem come the second half of the series, as well as with The Infernal Devices prequel series, where parabatai bond is an important plot point.

Magical Society: The Shadowhunters most definitely, complete with their own magically-concealed country located on the border of France and Germany. The Fair Folk likewise count for much the same reasons. Vampires and werewolves are a less organized variation, being organized into local clans and packs respectively, and they live within mundane cities. The warlocks are an aversion, being mostly free agents bound primarily by individual relationships.

Strong Family Resemblance: Multiple characters say that Clary looks just like a younger version of her mother Jocelyn. Her brother, Sebastian/Jonathan, looks a great deal like their father Valentine, but also has a few of their mother's features. Jace bears a strong resemblance to his biological father, Stephen Herondale. Isabelle looks just like her mother Maryse, to the point where Jocelyn initially mistakes her for Maryse the first time she meets her.

Shout-Out
 The Mortal Instruments / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The Herondales are a Shadowhunter family with a birthmark of a star. Jace's is on the back of his shoulder. In JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, the Joestar family have a star-shaped birthmark. Val and Luis from Holly Black's Valiant are seen at one point. A badge on Clary's bag says 'Still Not King', a reference to Clare's famous The Lord of the Rings fanfic The Very Secret Diaries. Best of all, two extra characters have a debate on which fictional gay wizard would win in a fair fight, Dumbledore, or Magnus. A reference to Hellsing is made when Clary thinks about how a church looks like "one of her favorite anime scenes involving a vampire priest". Max is frequently seen reading Naruto. In City of Glass, Max is also seen reading Angel Sanctuary, a manga about a reincarnated angel who is in a romantic relationship with his sister. It has a case of Does This Remind You of Anything as well as bringing to question why a nine year old with fairly strict parents would be reading it. But then again, his parents have quite a lot of marital issues. So his reading choices likely passed largely unnoticed. Besides, they probably thought that that something called Angel Sanctuary would be clean and proper. Happens often with animanga, given that Simon is characterized as a typical Geek. At one point Clary asks him if he wants to spend the evening with her watching Trigun. Simon is described in the fourth book as wearing Jeph Jacques's "Clearly I Have Made Some Bad Decisions" shirt, and Cassandra Clare also mentions his in-universe series "Magical Love Gentlemen". Church (the Persian cat from the New York Institute) shares his name with another famous cat.

 The Mortal Instruments / int_d332bf54
comment
Shadowhunters are notorious for their sense of superiority. At best, they consider mundanes to be helpless and useless; at worst, they consider Downworlders to be dangerous criminals that need to be kept in check. The elitism of the Shadowhunters is often Lampshaded by outsiders, notably Clary and Simon, as well as Downworlders. Taken up to eleven in City of Heavenly Fire when Helen and Mark Blackthorn are considered tainted by their half-faerie status despite the former having fought for the Shadowhunters and the latter having actually leaked vital intelligence to the Shadowhunters. It's even sold by the Shadowhunters as saving the family from the future pain of being betrayed despite both clearly caring for their family. The Shadowhunter Codex reveals that throughout history, there have been several attempts to wipeout Downworlders and that torturing them and robbing them was quite legal for some time. Things began to change with the Accords, but the racism lingers in Shadowhunter culture.

Blue-Collar Warlock: This is apparently not unusual for warlocks in general. They typically cast spells for a living.

Also does spellcasting for a fee as his primary source of income. Catarina Loss is shown to work in a hospital as a nurse.

Hypocrite: Valentine Morgenstern from , expresses hatred and disdain for the mixed-breed Downworlders, and contends that the Shadowhunters must keep the world safe from demons. But he deliberately taints his own son with demon blood, making him into a strange human/angel/demon hybrid, and even tried using demon blood to change himself with unclear results. He also readily summons and uses large numbers of demons to fight for him, as well as dealing with the powerful Greater Demon Lilith. Raziel calls him out on it. The vampire Raphael Santiago badgers Simon relentlessly about the need to accept that he is dead to humanity and must sever all ties to his former life. However it's said that he puts on a cross and visits his family every Sunday.

Tangled Family Tree
 The Mortal Instruments / int_de15a322
comment
Tangled Family Tree: All over the place. Clary is raised by her mother Jocelyn, and thinks of her mother's devoted, if platonic, boyfriend Luke who is really a Shadowhunter named Lucian Graymark that was turned into a werewolf as her stepfather. He later gets a Relationship Upgrade with Jocelyn. She believes her biological father was a soldier killed in action, but he is really the Big Bad Valentine Morgenstern. Jace is supposedly the son of Michael Wayland. But then it turns out that Michael was murdered and the man who supposedly fathered him was really Valentine Morgenstern, leading to a Brother–Sister Incest problem with Clary. It later turns out that his actual biological father was Valentine's right-hand man Stephen Herondale. Needless to say, Jace goes through a great many surname changes, although he often uses Lightwood after his adoptive parents and siblings and by the end of the seires, decides on taking the Herondale name, partly to stop it from going extinct. Worth noting that Stephen had previously been married to Luke's sister Valentine did in fact have an actual son with Jocelyn, Jonathan, whom he raised in secret. Jonathan disguises himself as Sebastian Verlac, a cousin of the prominent Penhallow family. Later he magically coerces Jace into regarding him as a brother. Jonathan also has a Brother–Sister Incest vibe with Clary.

Functional Magic: Primarily Inherent Gift, as one of the defining attributes of being "human" is the inability to use magic and thus free access to magic is generally limited to Downworlders and Shadowhunters. Warlocks (who are half-demon) are the primary practitioners of magic, although the Shadowhunters have their Runes and the Fairies possess strange powers.

Mama Bear: Despite her hatred for children, Imogen Herondale in City of Ashes acknowledges this trope, coming to the conclusion that Valentine would do anything for his son like she would. Lilith considers Jonathan her "son" due to him being tainted by her blood, and takes measures to protect him throughout the second trilogy.

comment
Fantasy Kitchen Sink: Warlocks, werewolves, vampires, faeries, demons, angels, and Nephilim are the main fantasy creatures; however, many others are mentioned in passing. In fact, in City of Bones Jace tells Clary that "all the stories are true." Except for mummies. No one believes in mummiesnote This was changed to zombies in the movie.

Calling the Old Man Out: For the entire duration of Jocelyn's kidnapping and subsequent coma, Clary is completely devoted to bringing her back. When Jocelyn finally is cured and returned, the very first thing Clary does is tear into her for depriving Clary of her Sight and not preparing her for the Shadowhunters' world.

Laser-Guided Amnesia
 The Mortal Instruments / int_e7b0229a
comment
Laser-Guided Amnesia: Prior to City of Bones, Jocelyn brought Clary to Magnus Bane every two years to have her memories of the Shadowhunter world wiped. In City of Heavenly Fire, Asmodeus takes all of Simon's memories of Clary and the Shadow World from him as part of the deal to return everybody from Edom to Earth. This is both because he relishes human memories and he knows it will hurt all of Simon's friends, especially Isabelle, to be forgotten by him. Magnus is able to restore some fragments of Simon's memories, but for the most part he has to start over from scratch. Magnus Bane can induce it, such as his work on Clary. However, he can't undo it.

Four Lines, All Waiting
 The Mortal Instruments / int_e8dcd1c0
comment
Four Lines, All Waiting: The series devolves into this in the later books, due to the introduction of numerous point of view characters with each their own subplot, and most of them showing up in every chapter. Something as simple as driving out of town to get a healing salve takes up a fourth of a book even though no obstacle presents itself.

The Starscream: According to Camille, Raphael Santiago was the reason she left - he killed mundanes and blamed them on her, causing her to flee. When she did so, he seized her position and told the rest of the New York vampire clan that she was struck with wanderlust and a desire to travel (something that was not unheard of in vampires.) However, it's later revealed that Camille really was the one who killed the mundanes. Raphael threatened to report her to the Clave, which was the reason why she had to run away.

 The Mortal Instruments / int_f09b6509
comment
Last Episode, New Character: During the party held in Alicante near the end of City of Glass, Clary notes that Magnus is talking to a brown-haired woman who briefly glances at her. This woman is Tessa Gray, the main character of the then-upcoming The Infernal Devices. City of Heavenly Fire has many new characters added that will play important roles in The Dark Artifices. The most notable, of course, is Emma Carstairs (who has about a dozen chapters dedicated to her), but there's also the Blackthorn siblings (Mark, Julian, Livia, Tiberius, Drusilla, and Octavian), Diana Wrayburn, and Malcolm Fade.

Sequel Goes Foreign: City of Glass and City of Heavenly Fire, the third and sixth books of the series, respectively, are mostly set in the Shadowhunter home country of Idris, located somewhere between Germany, France, and Switzerland.

Leading us to this little gem where they BOTH end up missing the point of their conversation:

Our Werewolves Are Different: There are werewolves of the variety where they are forced to change at the full moon, but can change shape at will at other times; they mostly retain their human minds, although at the full moon their minds become less human. They can be hurt by silver, while the condition is semi-contagious, with about half of all bites transmitting lycanthropy.
