Answer: Tessa Gray

Tessa Gray was the main character of the trilogy. At the beginning of the first book, "Clockwork Angel", she traveled from her home in New York City to London after she had received a letter from her brother who had been working there. Upon arrival, though, she was kidnapped by the Dark Sisters. Eventually, she was rescued by the Shadowhunters of the London Institute and began to live with them. Her mother was a Shadowhunter without Marks and her father was an Eidolon demon. Because of this lineage, she was a warlock with the ability to Change into other people if she held something that belonged to them. Throughout the series, she was in love with both Will and Jem. Because of her immortality and the fact that Jem had become a Silent Brother, she was able to marry and live her life with both boys. Tessa was a smart, independent girl who loved to read. She wore a necklace with a small clockwork angel on it.

Answer: Charlotte and Henry Branwell

Although the head is technically Henry, Charlotte runs the Institute most of the time. Other shadowhunters think it is improper to have a woman running the Institute. Theresa and Henry Starkweather are not real characters, they're just a mix of names from the series. Jessamine and Nathaniel Gray aren't really shadowhunters, therefore they can't run the Institute. Lastly, Maryse and Benedict Lightwood are from different time periods so they've never even met.

The next day, when Will's older sister, Ella, died, Will decided to leave his family to protect them and went to the London Institute. Later, when Tessa arrived and he fell in love with her, he sought the help of the warlock Magnus Bane to help him to find the demon who had cursed him so he could break the curse. When they eventually found the demon, however, it turned out that there had never been a curse.

After discovering the curse was fake, he was able to show his true personality. Will eventually went on to marry Tessa and have children with her. He also became the head of the London Institute after Charlotte.

Answer: Jem Carstairs

James "Jem" Carstairs was born in Shanghai, China, and was raised at the Institute there until the age of twelve when a demon seeking revenge killed his parents. Before his parents died, the demon had tortured Jem by giving him a drug called yin fen, which he became addicted to. From that point on, with no cure, he was slowly dying from the drug, but he could not stop using it or he would die much faster. With his parents dead, he came to live at the London Institute where he became Will's parabatai. Along with Will, Jem fell in love with Tessa and proposed to her. However, soon after, Mortmain bought up the city's supply of yin fen. Without the drug, Jem's health quickly deteriorated. On his deathbed, Jem chose to become a Silent Brother. Because Silent Brothers could not marry and must leave their former lives behind, he had to end his engagement with Tessa. The two met up on the same day every year on Blackfriars Bridge, until eventually he was cured and the two picked up their relationship.
