**Celina "Lina" Amatis Herondale** is the seventh child of Jace and Clary Herondale, and a young Shadowhunter at the New York Institute. She is the older sister of Adele, and younger sister of Emmy, Stevie, Liam, Jonathan, Ella, and Ava, and the adopted sister of Ash.

## History

### Biography

Lina was born in 2025 to Jace and Clary, and grew up in the New Institute with her siblings, the Carstairs family, the Lightwoods, and the Lightwood-Banes. Her family is also close with the Carstairs-Blackthorns, Blackthorns, and Blackthorn-Penhallows.

As of 2030, Lina has not started her Shadowhunter training, as she is too young.

## Physical Appearance

Lina is said to look different from the rest of her siblings, having curly, long, auburn brownish hair and blue eyes. She is about 3'5". She has freckles across her face, like her mother, and is left-handed like Jace.

## Personality

Lina is incredibly smart for her age and is wise beyond her years. She is often correcting her older siblings Ava, Liam, and Toby, and understands complex concepts such as death that younger children often don't understand. She is very quiet and observant, and is often found reading, drawing, or playing with the animals in the Institute's courtyard. She knows a lot about Shadowhunter society for her age, and often explains things to Liam and Toby. She can identify runes, and often draws them on paper with a pencil.

Like many Herondales, Lina is brave and won't hesitate to protect her family, despite her young age. She isn't afraid to stand up to authority or Clave officials if they threaten her family.

## Skills and Abilities

* **Nephilim Physiology:** Being Nephilim, Lina possesses a variety of enhanced physical and mental abilities granted to her by the blood of the angel Raziel in her veins as well as the angelic Marks of the Gray Book. This includes enhanced speed, strength, stamina, agility, and coordination, which continue to improve over time and practice.
	+ **The Sight:** As a Shadowhunter, Lina is naturally and easily able to see through most magical illusions and layers of glamour over reality.
	+ **Runic Magic:** Due to the angel blood in their veins, all Shadowhunters are able to to apply runes on their skin without any real danger. These Marks, in turn, give varied effects that serve to benefit the wearer.
	+ **Use of Heavenly Weapons:** As a Shadowhunter, Lina is able to perform tasks unique to their species, such as the ability to use and call on the power of the angels for their seraph blades, as well as to handle any heavenly weapons or objects with effect, which would normally not work for other species. In particular, these tools are made out of *adamas* and forged by the Iron Sisters.

* **Angelic Blood Empowerment:** Due to Valentine's experiments on her parents, Lina also inherited extra angel blood from Jace and Clary. This contributes to enhanced aspects in certain fields beyond normal Shadowhunter parameters. This extra angel blood allows Lina the ability to heal people. However, the extent of this power is currently unknown. Also, Lina and her siblings have the ability to touch seraph blades without being burned before they have received their Angelic Power rune.
