Jonathan Herondale

Jonathan "Nathan" Christopher Herondale is the fifth-born child of Clary and Jace Herondale, and the twin brother of Liam. He is the younger brother of Ella, Emmy, and Stevie, and the older brother of Ava, Celina, and Adele, as well as the adoptive brother / cousin of Ash. 
== Name & Etymology ==
Clary and Jace gave Nathan his name after the brother that Clary could've had. His middle name, Christopher, honors his father as well as his distant cousin, Kit. 
== Early Life ==
Nathan was born along with his twin brother, Liam, in August 2017. He was the fifth-born child of the Herondales, and part of the second set of twins. The two twins are three years younger than their older sister, Ella, and eight years younger than Emmy and Stevie. They grew up in the Institute with Max, Rafael, Emmy, Stevie, Eli, Gina, Ella, and their younger siblings along with their parents, aunts and uncles in the New York Institute.
== Physical Appearance ==
Nathan and Liam are identical twins, though Nathan is shorter by about two or three inches. He and his twins are the male versions of Clary, both with red hair and green eyes. They also look extremely similar to their older brother, Stevie. Nathan has a face full of freckles like his twin.
== Personality ==
Nathan is the calmer of the two twins, and is more rational and logical than Liam. He and Liam are inseparable and do nearly everything together. He has been known to try to convince Liam not to do something reckless because it's not a good idea, but usually Liam ends up convincing him. Like his twin, he is a huge fan of stories and loves to hear about all of the adventures that his parents went on when they were younger. He enjoys sparring with Emmy and Stevie.
