The New York Institute is one of the most heavily fortified magical structures on Earth. Its ancient glamours and angelic wards block tracking from both Greater Demons and heavenly spirits. It is a blind spot to the cosmos. Maryse Lightwood is a woman defined by duty, but above all, by maternal protection. Having already adopted Jace Herondale and fiercely raised Alec and Isabelle, Maryse knows how to keep secrets from the Clave. When the baby is left on her doorstep, Maryse doesn't see a cosmic threat; she sees a child who needs a mother. Maryse binds Y/N's leaking cosmic aura by drawing a faint, permanent Voyance (Sight) rune on her skin. To the rest of the Shadowhunter world, the girl appears to be just an orphaned Trueblood or a mundane born with the Sight. Y/N grows up training alongside Alec, Isabelle, and Jace—completely unaware that her blood holds the power to end the universe. Y/N's parents realizing that neither Heaven nor Hell is safe, a rogue angel smuggles the newborn to Earth. They need to hide her in a place that is heavily shielded, fiercely protected, and completely unexpected. They choose Maryse Lightwood at the New York Institute. Y/N's Father: Archangel Ithuriel (or a Seraph-tier Primordial Angel)The Concept: The ultimate force of Holy Light, creation, and rigid divine law. Y/N's Mother: Lilith, The Mother of All DemonsThe Concept: The First Demon, Queen of Edom, and the ultimate force of dark, corrupting void and chaos. Because she is born of the highest Angel and the First Demon, she is a being that should not exist. She is the ultimate hybrid—possessing pure, uncorrupted angelic creation grace mixed with the infinite, reality-bending dark magic of the Void.
