Clockwork Princess
CHARACTERS:
William "Will" Owen Herondale: Seventeen-year-old Will is the sort of young man nice Victorian girls are warned against. He drinks, gambles, and enjoys the company of ladies of questionable virtue—at least, as much as he enjoys anything. Will hates everyone and everything, with the possible exception of Jem, and even that is occasionally in doubt. When he finds himself oddly drawn to Tessa, his friends begin to hope that the Downworlder girl will prove Will's unlikely salvation, but as Tessa grows closer to the bleak secret that makes his life a prison, danger threatens to destroy them both if she finds out the truth. He is quite tall, around six foot, has black hair, and stormy blue eyes. We learn in Clockwork Prince that he thought he was under a "curse" by a demon his father had kept in a Pyxis, which is why he is so rude, sarcastic, and impulsive toward people he loves. Later on in the book, we learn that the "curse" is a fake and Will has wasted five years of his life hiding his loving emotions from others. He tries to show Tessa near the end that he loves her but soon finds out that Tessa and Jem are engaged. He is left shell-shocked at the end of the book due to both the fact that Jem and Tessa are engaged and that his younger sister, Cecily, comes to the Institute to become a Shadowhunter, which Will is against.
Theresa "Tessa" Gray: Sixteen-year-old Tessa has spent the last thirteen years of her life being stiflingly overprotected by her aunt after the death of her parents in a carriage accident. She lives almost all her life in books, dreaming of having the kind of adventures the heroines she reads about do — until she is summoned from New York to London by her brother, Nathaniel, after her aunt dies, only to find that he has gone missing.The Shadowhunters of the London Institute may be Tessa's only hope of finding Nate, but their mysterious world of demons and Downworlders holds many dangers for her, especially when she realizes she might be more a part of it than she'd thought. Tessa is tall, taller than most boys, has curly dark-brown hair, and has sea-gray eyes. Many consider her to be a "Downworlder", specifically warlock, but she bears none of the usual irregularities. In Clockwork Prince, we learn from Jessamine, who under the influence of the Mortal Sword, that her mother may have been a Shadowhunter and that her father was a demon, yet we don't know whether or not this is true. Also, near the end of Clockwork Prince, Jem proposes to Tessa and she agrees. To those who read the Mortal Instruments series, Tessa is shown so briefly near the end of City of Glass and is also mentioned by Magnus in City of Fallen Angels. It is hinted by Cassandra Clare that we will learn where Tessa is now, and who she is staying with, in the Mortal Instruments at the epilogue of Clockwork Princess.
James "Jem" Carstairs: Seventeen-year-old Jem was born and raised in the Institute in Shanghai, China, and is of Chinese and British parentage. Jem's parents were killed by a demon called Yanluo (who was not able to kill Jem before more shadowhunters came and killed her)—but with a terrible price to be paid: He now has to take a drug that slowly kills him. And even through the hep of the Silent Brothers, it is impossible to wan him off the drug unless he wants to die a quicker death. He moved to the London Institute shortly after the death of his parents at the age of eleven. Frail and silver-haired, Jem seems an unlikely demon-killer, but his skills and swift intelligence make him a formidable foe. He finds a kindred spirit in Tessa as both of them feel they are torn between two worlds, neither belonging completely to one or to the other, causing him to eventually develop a strong affection for her. Jem is described as having pale skin, silver hair, and almond-shaped silver eyes but when he first arrived at the London Institute, Charlotte describes him with inky black hair with eyes to match. He has been in love with Tessa for quite a long time and at the end of Clockwork Prince proposes to her. She agrees and two are engaged to get married. He is also oblivious to Will's feelings for Tessa.
