Summary
Her mother was unreasonable in her protectiveness.
An artist by day and a drill sergeant by night, that was how Clary would describe her mother. And they did share some interests. While her mother’s style was very different, Clary also shared her love of art. In fact that was about the only time should could stand to be around her mother these days, when they were painting together.
Most people only ever saw Jocelyn as a painter, a free spirit. They never saw her training her daughter night after night, the curtains drawn, the furniture pushed to the edges of the living room as they attacked one another with knives. Training knives, different from the real ones Clary carried with her everywhere. Her mother had trained her to defend herself, and insisted she keep the training up and sparred with her daughter six out of seven nights a week.
So was it any wonder that on night number seven, Clary took any opportunity to escape that she could?
In which Clary has a slightly different but still non-shadowhunter upbringing, a very dedicated street art career, and meets Alec as her first introduction to the shadow world a few months before her inheritance.
