ALEC (No. 15) vs. ADRIAN (No. 2)

PERSONALITY:

·         Alec is a strong character who is very loyal when it comes to his family and those that he cares about.
“It’s me,” he said, and cleared his throat. “I could understand if you didn’t believe me, but I swear on the Angel, Iz, it’s me.” Alec said nothing, but his grip on Jace’s hand tightened. “You don’t need to swear,” he said, and with his free hand touched the parabatai rune near his collarbone. “I know. I can feel it. I don’t feel like I’m missing a part of me anymore.”

·         He’s cute when he gets jealous 🙂
“You never called me back,” he said. “I called you so many times and you never called me back.”
Magnus looked at Alec as if he’d lost his mind. “Your city is under attack,” he said. “The wards have been broken, and the streets are full of demons. And you want to know why I haven’t called you?“
Alec set his jaw in a stubborn line. “I want to know why you haven’t called me back.“

·         He’s not another cocky bad boy who likes to be mean, he can be insecure and have worries.
“Good organization,” said Magnus. “I knew the man who founded it, back in the 1800s. Woolsey Scot. Respectable old werewolf family.” 
Alec made an ugly sound in the back of his throat. “Did you sleep with him, too?”
Magnus’s cat eyes widened. “Alexander!”

·         He has a soft sensitive side to him which is one of the great things about him.
“Irina Cartwright told me it was a pity no one would ever inherit my blue eyes now.” He shrugged and looked toward Magnus, who took a hand off the wheel for a moment to place it on Alec’s. “It’s not like a stab wound you can protect me from. It’s a million little paper cuts every day.”

SIMON (No. 12) vs. PATCH (No. 7)

Today I’d like to welcome some amazing characters from The Mortal Instruments series!

First off, Clary, winner of the 1st annual YA Heorine Tourney: “Simon is the best friend a girl could ask for. Ever since we met as little kids, we’ve been joined at the hip. As kids we’d have sleepovers and sneak in a portable DVD player and stay up late watching cheesy horror movies. The one thing I miss most from my mundane, normal life is the normal relationship Simon and I shared. Whenever there’s a problem and Simon could do something, he does it. He’s proved that time and time again when I’m in danger, he’s got my back, even if he may risk his own life. He’s a great friend and Isabelle is one lucky girl to get him.”

Now, I’d like to welcome, the one and only, Jace Lightwood, winner of last year’s Crush Tourney: “He may not be the sexy, handsome, badass Shadowhunter I am, but he has saved me and Clary’s butts. Even as a mundane, he was pretty fierce. Though he may ramble on about pointless stuff like some zombie TV show or the next anime cartoon, he’s a pretty cool guy to talk to. Now, he hasn’t mastered the fine art of sarcasm like I have (but who the hell can?) he is pretty witty. He might even make me, much to my dismay, laugh sometimes. Which is completely unnatural. But if Alec didn’t exist, and he was a Shadowhunter, he’d be my first pick for parabatai.”
