'''Shadowhunters.... well where do I begin?'''

So far I have loved this first season as it incorperated stuff from the books, and added a bit of drama and flair to the plot line. I think that the producers and directors so far have done an amazing job with the show, the cast is awesome and they add a lot more relationship drama then the books.

One thing that they didn't really understand was the development of the characters. All the stereotypes are there and I respect that, but there were some parts that confused me. How they made Clary immeadiatly push Simon away and drifts towards Jace when they've just met. Clary's character is not simple-minded and really really confident, sure we like her being an all badass, confident chick, but she was also sort of made out to be gullible and naive.

'''Ok, moving on to Jace. '''

This badass badboy is pretty much exactly like the one in the book; arrogent, brave, confident and very very cocky. Jace in my opinion is a great character in this show as he is very understanding, and great when it comes to slaying demons. However he tends to forget that not everyone is about his handsome self, and sometimes neglects his friends and takes all the glory. For one example lets bring in Alec. Alec is quite shy to begin with, as he does not like Jace's sudden attraction to Clary, and thinks that Jace will forget their parabatai bond, and be distracted with Clary, I feel that Alec is often underappreciated by Jace, as he is not confident with talking to Jace about personal matters, and often causes him emotional pain. Jace understands Alec's feelings for him, but he fails to help him out with it, and kisses Clary right in front of him. Sometimes Jace never thinks about what his actions could cause him. Some of those actions caused Alec to porpose to Lydia Branwell.

Now time for the Lightwoods, Alec and Isabelle (aka.Izzy) 

These Lightwood siblings are the total badass bomb. They each have unique talents and skills in both practical and verbal. Izzy is this sassy, confident fighter who totally slays with her whip, and she is so loyal to the ones she loves. She cares so deeply for her older bro, as she is the only one who really knows about his personal life and his feelings for his parabatai. She understands most of the people she talks to, even if they are downworlders. What I love about Izzy is that she does not judge someone for who they are or what they look like, she accepts everyone as themself. She has such a wild, loving personality, and it is a shame to see her lock it up inside of her, as you see her change her appearence and personalilty because she wants to actually please her mother, instead of being shamed. Even Alec is surprised by the sudden change in his sister, "You can't change who you are." Overall I think Izzy is an amazing character and she has such an important role to play in the series and further series to come.

Alec's turn now, he is a shy, strong-willed, caring and very loyal person to Izzy and Jace in this series. At first he really dispises Clary, as she is a distraction for Jace and rebels against everything he works for. Alec is quite sensitive of anyone knowing of his sexuality, and he is afraid that he would be disowned from his family, rejected by his friencds and family, and of being a shadowhunter. In terms of relationships, Alec is quite confused who he is more attracted to, Jace or Magnus, but because of recent events Alec does not seem to act like he is attracted to guys, because he is engaged to Lydia Branwell. Magnus is drawn immediatly to Alec, as he seems to him as a skillful and strong warrior, but extremely attractive in his opinion. Magnus admits his feelings to Alec, as him unlocking a part of him that he stowed away centuries ago. I think that Alec is attracted to Magnus, but he is not sure if he loves Jace or is attracted to Magnus more. Alec does not realise that his actions of telling Magnus that he was engaged to Lydia, caused Magnus to feel and look heartbroken. I think that once Alec realises of he feelings towards Magnus, and his problematic decisions to obey Lydia's every command and the Clave's, instead of Jace's words of wisdom towards him he will realise that he was wrong and that he should follow his heart, instead of his head.

Magnus Bane; high warlock of Brooklyn, party god, glittery wizard, and overall badass magic machine is a main character in the series as he helps the gang out with issues and problems that occur. He is a charming, glitter loving, powerful warlock that is not afraid to be himself around everyone he meets. He is very in depth with his emotions and other character's emotions, as he has been around for over 300 years and understands what it is like to live and love through the centuries. He is the sparkle, sexy, party warlock

Simon Lewis, is a main character in the series as well. He starts off in the first episode with Clary, as her best friend just living a normal life in Brooklyn. He is extremely loyal to Clary, and would do anything for her, as well as going along with her cravings for Jace, and being pushed to the sidelines for awhile. He loves Clary more than a best friend, and only Clary, but he suffers sadness and anger when she rejects him and falls for Jace instead. Simon in assumed by Jace, as a weak and third wheel, when joining Clary to stop Valentine, but Jace is mistaken. Simon is not weak, and just because he is not physically strong, does not mean his mind is underated. After Simon becomes a vampire things change. He becomes stronger, smarter and faster as the result of the vampire venom, and Clary is shocked because she realises that he is not the Simon she used to know anymore, because she finally realises that she has been ignoring his needs the whole time. She was not ready for this, and she feels so terrible for dragging him into the shadow world in the first place.

OK THAT'S IT FOR NOW, I WILL UPDATE FREQUENTLY AND MAKE REFERENCES ON THE NEW EPISODES OR OTHER TOPICS.
