Changes: Jocelyn Fray

Revision as of 04:47, 16 May 2012

Jocelyn Fray is the mother of Clary Fray. Jocelyn was a Nephilim, but has turned her back on her life as a Shadowhunter, a daughter of the Fairchild family. She was married to Valentine and had Clary and Jonathan Christopher with him, although later ran away after she realized how evil her husband has gotten, believing their son, Jonathan, to be dead. It was revealed in the first chapter of City of Fallen Angels that Jocelyn and Luke are to be married soon.

Appearance and Personality

Jocelyn was introduced in City of Bones as a kind, caring, albeit overprotective mother who supported both herself and her daughter with her paintings (and her "father's stocks" when they ran low on money, later revealed to be the Morgenstern family's ancestral jewelry). It was then revealed that this was all a facade to hide Clary from the Shadowhunter world. In reality, Jocelyn was a talented, powerful Shadowhunter.

She is often described as very beautiful, with curly red hair that resembles her daughter's and sharp, well-defined features.

History

Early Life

Jocelyn Fairchild-Morgenstern was born Jocelyn Fairchild in 1970 to Adele Nightshade-Fairchild and Granville Fairchild. She spent her entire life in the Fairchild Manor house. in her youth, she developed a close friendship with Lucian Graymark. They were close friends growing up. Over time, Lucian fell in love with Jocelyn, though she was completely oblivious to it. Jocelyn also developed a close friendship with Amatis Graymark.

When Jocelyn was roughly sixteen, she and Lucian left their rural community and traveled to Alicante to complete their training. During this time, Jocelyn became good friends with Madeleine Bellefleur. They all began school there and Jocelyn was a natural shadowhunter. This was in stark contrast to her friend Lucian. All of this changed when Lucain began talking to Valentine Morgenstern. He was a year older then the two of them, but that was unnecessary. He approached Lucian and offered to tutor him. Lucian wasn't the only one. Together they all formed The Circle. Jocelyn often joked around, calling them "Valentine's fan club." All of this changed however when Valentine's father died. He and Jocelyn struck up a relationship. Only one, Madeleine, disagreed with this relationship.

The Accords

After finishing her schooling, Jocelyn married Valentine. They moved into her family's manor and lived there happily. Valentine was, since his father's death, an outspoken aggressor against Downworlders. He formed the Circle from all of his old accomplices in school planned to reform the Clave. He and Jocelyn lived happily together.

All of that changed when Jocelyn became pregnant. She and Valentine were exceptionally happy. Valentine began giving her tonics that, unknown to her, were mixed with demon blood. Jocelyn began having all sorts of horrid nightmares about Valentine torching her. Jocelyn also began to hear screams through the walls. she went to Lucian. She told him that she had grown to fear her husband. Lucian went to Valentine and, that night, he was attacked by a Werewolf. She and Valentine kept the occurrence a secret and waited with Lucian. When the next full moon came, Lucian transformed.

When he returned, Jocelyn tried to hug him, but Valentine ordered her inside and took Lucian outside. Later, Valentine walked in and told her that Lucian killed himself. Jocelyn fell into a depression. She couldn't sleep. Couldn't eat.

Then the baby was born. Her mother was with her during the birth. When it was over, her mother handed her a bundle of blankets. Horror washed through her when the baby opened it's eyes. She felt that the child was some sort of monster.

Relationships

Valentine Morgenstern

Jocelyn was married to Valentine, but when Jocelyn realized her husband Valentine Morgenstern was evil, she rebelled against him and allied herself with Luke, her childhood friend. When Valentine's attempt to convince her he was alright, Jocelyn took her daughter, Clary, believing her son, and husband to be dead, and shielded Clary from the Shadowhunter world.

When Valentine reappears and kidnaps her, she goes into a state of a self-induced coma. It is revealed that her husband had poisoned her food with demon blood so that her first child, Jonathan Christopher Morgenstern, was born evil. She then entered a stage of depression, and in an attempt to cure her, Valentine gave her blood from the angel Ithuriel, not knowing she was pregnant.

He was also conducting the same experiment with the son of Stephen Herondale, later cutting his son, Jace, out of the dead body of his mother.

Luke Garroway

Luke was Jocelyn's childhood friend, whom she had befriended despite the fact that she came from a prestigious Shadowhunter family and he came from a normal, unnoticed one. Luke cares very deeply for her and his actions towards her daughter, Clary, are motivated by his love for her.

When Jocelyn plotted to overthrow Valentine, she allied herself with Luke, who by then had become the leader of a werewolf pack. When they run away to Paris, he offered to marry her, but she rejected him kindly.

After Jace and Clary rescue Jocelyn from Renwick's, it is Luke who pays for her expensive private hospital room. When she is finally revived by Magnus Bane near the end of the book, it is heavily implied that she reciprocates Luke's feelings for her. It is revealed in the preview chapter of City of Fallen Angels that she and Luke are to be married.

Clarissa Fray-Morgenstern

Clary is Jocelyn's daughter, whom she ran away with believing that both Valentine and her son Jonathan were dead (in reality, it was the remains of Michael Wayland and his son she had found, and both Valentine and Jonathan had survived). Jocelyn cares very deeply for her daughter, sometimes coming off as overprotective.

The catalyst for Clary's allying herself with the Shadowhunters in the first book is Jocelyn's unconsciousness. Clary initially believed this to be because of Valentine and his forces, but it was revealed that Jocelyn had contacted Ragnor Fell about a plan to keep herself unconscious in order for Valentine to never know where she hid the Mortal Cup, telling nobody about this secret except her acquaintance Madeline. When the antidote is revealed to be in the White Book and is such given to her by Magnus Bane, Clary realizes how angry she was towards her mother's lying to her about everything, despite the fact that this was done for her own protection. The two later reconcile.
