Clary is headstrong, stubborn, and fiery. She is also intelligent and creative. She loves and cares deeply about her mother and her friends and is loyal to them above all others.
Having not been raised with the typical Shadowhunter prejudice and rules, she is often at odds with the more traditional Shadowhunters in the Institute, like Alec and Lydia, over issues regarding mundanes and Downworlders, strict adherence to rules and protocol, and their generally self-centered culture. Unlike most Shadowhunters, who defend innocents out of a sense of duty, Clary does so without hesitation because she wants to.
Clary is a beautiful young girl with bright red hair and a slim build. Hodge remarked that she looks a lot like her mother, Jocelyn. Her clothing style is generally simple and conservative, and she dislikes wearing the revealing outfits that Isabelle had her wear on occasion.
Since meeting and becoming one of the Shadowhunters, Clary now has a number of runes burned into various parts of her body, including the iratze rune on the right side of her neck,[2] Protected on the left side of her chest,[8] just below the Vision rune on her left collar bone,[15] and the Nyx rune on her right scapula.[8] On her left arm, listed from her forearm down to her wrist, she has the Blocking rune,[15] Communication,[50] Unseen,[8][15] and the Soundless rune.[8][15][51] On her right arm are Courage in Combat,[7] Visible,[8] and the Shape-shifting runes;[12] she has the permanent Angelic rune on the back of her right wrist,[30] and the Heat Vision rune on the back of her right hand has since faded.[15]
