Clave Files

**The Clave Files** are files consisting of observations that are made by Clave officials about various Shadowhunters when they visit Institutes. Mostly, these files are about young Shadowhunters and how they are progressing in their training. The Clave starts recording information in these files when Shadowhunters reach twelve years of age.

## Files on Record

### Emmy Herondale

* **Name:** Emmaline Maia Herondale
* **Birthdate:** September 8, 2013
* **Residence:** New York Institute (mainly) Los Angeles Institute (part-time)
* **Scars/physical characteristics:** Dark blonde hair, green eyes with glasses; typical runes of a Shadowhunter; equilibrium rune on the left side of her neck; parabatai rune on shoulder.
* **Strengths:** Herondale is very skilled in combat, especially with knives and machetes. She is also shown to be very willing to sacrifice her life for our sacred mandate, which is honorable. She also possesses a greater concentration of angel blood than the average Shadowhunter, meaning she could have unique abilities like her parents. However, the Clave has no knowledge of whether Herondale has exhibited such abilities. Herondale is also very stubborn, which can be a strength or weakness depending on the situation.
* **Weaknesses:** Herondale is also very impulsive and reckless, often acting without thinking; this often results in the risking of her own life as well as the lives of others. She doesn't think about the consequences of her actions before acting. Herondale is also the granddaughter of Valentine Morgenstern, as well as the niece of Jonathan/Sebastian Morgenstern. She also has no respect for authority figures or the Clave. Due to her reckless and impulsive thinking, Herondale's actions could possibly lead to the exposure of the Shadow World to mundanes.
* **Significant Relationships:** Clarissa Herondale, mother. Jonathan Herondale, father. Stephen Herondale, twin brother. Ella Herondale, sister. William Herondale, brother. Tobias Herondale, brother. Ava Herondale, sister. Rosemary Herondale, sister. Adele Herondale, sister. Wilhelmina Carstairs, *parabatai.* Maryse Lightwood, adoptive grandmother. Jocelyn Fairchild, maternal grandmother. Valentine Morgenstern, maternal grandfather. Beatriz Mendoza, tutor. Her family is also close friends with the Carstairs, Lightwoods, Blackthorns, and Penhallows.

**\*Note: On request of Emmaline's parents, the knowledge that she and her siblings are related to Valentine and Sebastian Morgenstern is to be kept secret until a future date.\***

### Mina Carstairs

* **Name:** Wilhelmina Yiqiang Ke Carstairs
* **Birthdate:** March 16, 2013
* **Residence:** New York Institute (mainly) Los Angeles Institute (part-time)
* **Scars/physical characteristics:** Dark hair and eyes with glasses; voyance rune on right hand; angelic rune at throat; parabatai rune on shoulder; typical rune of Shadowhunters.
* **Strengths:** Carstairs is skilled in areas of combat, and displays a level head in training exercises and in the field. She is able to separate her duty from her personal life. She would make a very promising Shadowhunter if she wasn't so easily influenced by her *parabatai,* Emmaline Herondale. Due to her demon blood, she could also exhibit unique abilities similar to her half-siblings, Lucie and James Herondale. However, caution is also to be taken due to her demon blood.
* **Weaknesses:** She is shown to be a good influence on Emmaline Herondale, as she keeps the other from taking unnecessary risks. However, Carstairs is also shown to be easily manipulated by Herondale. Her mother is also half-warlock, half-Shadowhunter, making Carstairs a quarter demon. Carstairs' grandfather is the Greater Demon Belial.
* **Significant Relationships:** James Carstairs, father. Theresa Gray, mother. Christopher Herondale, adopted brother. Emmaline Herondale, *parabatai.* Emma Carstairs, distant relative. John Blackthorn, distant relative. Cordelia Blackthorn, distant relative. Marcus Blackthorn, distant relative. Alyssa Blackthorn, distant relative. Clarke Blackthorn, distant relative.

### Stevie Herondale

* **Name:** Stephen Alexander Herondale
* **Birthdate:** September 8, 2013
* **Residence:** New York Institute (mainly) Los Angeles Institute (part-time)
* **Scars/physical characteristics:** Red hair and green eyes; voyance rune on left hand; *parabatai* rune on forearm; angelic rune at throat; typical markings for a Shadowhunter; broad shoulders, around 5'9''.
* **Strengths:** Herondale is an exceptional Shadowhunter, similar to his father, and has the makings for a very formidable and loyal warrior. However, he is too easily manipulated by personal relationships. Herondale is excellent in combat, especially with swords. He also has extremely powerful persuasion and diplomacy skills. Herondale also has a greater concentration of angel blood, meaning he could have unique abilities, like his parents. However, evidence of such abilities is yet to be observed by the Clave.
* **Weaknesses:** Herondale is easily manipulated by personal relationships, such as family and friends. Herondale is also the grandson of Valentine Morgenstern, as well as the nephew of Sebastian Morgenstern.
* **Significant Relationships:** Clarissa Herondale, mother. Jonathan Herondale, father. Emmaline Herondale, twin sister. Ella Herondale, sister. Tobias Herondale, brother. William Herondale, brother. Ava Herondale, sister. Rosemary Herondale, sister. Adele Herondale, sister. Valentine Morgenstern, maternal grandfather. Jocelyn Fairchild, maternal grandmother. Lucian Graymark, adopted grandfather. Sebastian Morgenstern, uncle. Ash Morgenstern, cousin. Elijah Lightwood, *parabatai.*
* **\*Note: On request of his parents, Stephen’s relation to Valentine & Sebastian Morgenstern is to be kept concealed from Herondale and his siblings until a future date.\***

### Eli Lightwood

* **Name:** Elijah Jordan Lightwood
* **Birthdate:** August 22, 2013
* **Residence:** New York Institute (mainly) Los Angeles Institute (part-time)
* **Scars/physical characteristics:** Dark hair and eyes; voyance rune on right hand; angelic rune on insides of both wrists; stealth rune on right side of neck; *parabatai* rune on forearm; typical markings of a Shadowhunter.
* **Strengths:** Like his uncle and father, Lightwood is very skilled with long-ranged weapons, and is willing to sacrifice his life for his family and those he cares about. Possible areas of concern include a higher allegiance to his family rather than to the Clave. He is extremely protective of his younger sisters, as well as all of the younger inhabitants of the New York Institute.
* **Weaknesses:** Lightwood is impulsive, however, not to as high of an extent as Emmaline Herondale. As stated above, worries include a greater loyalty to his friends and family than to the Clave. Lightwood would make a formidable Shadowhunter if he could express maturity and immunity towards Emmaline's reckless ideas. He is also incredibly stubborn, sometimes to a fault.
* **Significant Relationships:** Isabelle Lightwood, mother. Simon Lightwood, father. Rebecca Lightwood, sister. Georgina Lightwood, sister. Stephen Herondale, *parabatai.* Cecily Blackthorn-Penhallow, cousin. Alexander Lightwood, uncle. Magnus Bane, uncle. Rafael Lightwood-Bane, cousin. Maxwell Lightwood-Bane, cousin.
* **\*Note: Lightwood's father, Simon, Ascended to become a Shadowhunter in 2009.\***

### Bex Lightwood

* **Name:** Rebecca Elaine Lightwood
* **Birthdate:** January 28, 2015
* **Scars/physical characteristics:** Dark hair and eyes; voyance rune on right hand; angelic rune at throat; typical markings of a Shadowhunter; around 5'4'' in height.
* **Strengths:** Like her uncle, brother, and father, Lightwood is skilled with long-ranged weapons, however, that is not her primary weapon of choice. She is incredibly skilled with a crossbow and seraph blades. She is also very brave and courageous, willing to sacrifice her life for others.
* **Weaknesses:** Lightwood is arrogant and reckless, and these dangerous traits could lead to the exposure of the Shadow World to mundanes. This must be corrected. Like her brother, she also shows signs of being more loyal to her family than to the Clave. Because she is a Lightwood, she is also more susceptible to being manipulated.
