Name: George Lovelace Door: Left Canon: Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy (part of the larger Shadowhunter world of Cassandra Clare) Canon Point: At his death, at the end of "Angels Twice Descending" Age: 19 Appearance: He's described as being tall and broad with brown eyes and curly brown hair. 6'5" and (at least once) described as a Scottish sex god. I use Diego Boneta for a PB. History: Ave atque vale, George Lovelace, child of the Nephilim. Forever and ever, my brother, hail and farewell. Personality: George is above all things affable, friendly, and unwilling to engage in any kind of emotional confrontation. His roommate Simon, who is the narrator for most of the book, says that the reason he likes George is because George is never difficult or complicated, and that's sort of what George strives for. Any time a situation is leaning toward being too serious or heavy or emotional, George cracks a joke. Emotions are not something you can fight, so George just ignores them whenever he can. On occasion, he can be serious. Before the ceremony that will either turn him into a half-angel or kill him, George has a brief heart to heart with Simon about Simon being his best friend even if he's not Simon's. Of course, being George, he ends it by saying, "Are we going to have to hug now?" He wants to be a good bro. When it comes to his friends, he basically wants to keep them happy and safe at all times. If that means tromping down to live in the moldy basement in solidarity with the other mundane students, he can do that. If it means making an idiot of himself to create a distraction while a friend sneaks out of the dining hall, he can do that. And if it means throwing himself into the path of a faerie warrior to save a friend, he can do that too. George wants to be a hero. He left his family's sheep farm at the first chance for adventure. He tells Simon, "Everybody in this academy, Shadowhunters and mundanes, people with the Sight and without it, everyone of them is looking to be a hero. We are all hoping for it, and trying for it, and soon we will be bleeding for it." He wants to do some good in the world. He's always been athletic and good-looking, and people have always liked him, but Shadowhunting was the first thing he ever wanted to do that was actually heroic, that put his athleticism to some use off the football pitch. He wants to be a hero badly enough to risk his life for the chance to do so. What George does not handle well are romantic situations. For whatever reason, despite his looks, he's never had much luck in that department. Most likely because he's oblivious to anyone being interested in him, so he never tries to make a move, and neither do they. He does spend one night with a girl at school, the night before he dies, but we don't get to see how that happened, and my theory is that she had to have made the first move. He also doesn't deal well with emotions, as I said. He'll shove them down or change the subject or do something physical to distract himself from them. He hates to be sad, and he doesn't much like being angry either, so he just…doesn't. Or he tries to pretend he doesn't. All that repressed emotion has got to come out sometime. Powers and Abilities: He's a trained Shadowhunter (demon-hunter), but he doesn't have any of the angelic power that goes with it, so basically he's about super-spy/soldier level martial expertise, ala Black Widow but without the cool tech and with a familiarity with more archaic weapons. Because of this training, he also has a smattering of Latin, Greek, and Arabic. He's pretty good at tennis too! Most sports come easily to him. Inventory: Just the Lovelace family ring.
