TIER RANKING SHADOWHUNTER CHARACTERS.

“I think it’s just going to be TMI characters at the top” *alec crying in good tier*

[@marrraaa26]

I truly belive that Alec deserves to be placed wayyyyy higher... I mean, he's my favourite character so yeah...I love him with my hole heart :)) edit: but hey, opinions are opinions and that's totally ok...i guess i just needed to say that about "My Alec"

[@jacklemm1518]

[@annajohnson1801]

literally, if i did this i would be putting clary right at the bottom.

[@noneofyourbusinessnoneofyo9940]

I would definitely switch Jace and Alec but then move Jace to demon pod because I hate his guts.

[@paramitaraha8914]

@Confused Solar System That is sad. :')

[@nohtrhrbrurenjwwieudjd]

Alec deserves at LEAST elite, hes a Raziel for me

[@rorababel]

honestly, is there even a tier for julian blackthorn and jem carstairs?

[@user-sq2px5pb2s]

agree! they’re definitely my two favorite characters in the entire shadowhunter chronicles :)

Hodge is definitely in forgettable tier for me. After City of Bones I literally forgot he existed.

[@pinkbalm975]

I love how u always use cassandra Jeans versions because to me those are the canon ones for me not the tv or movie

[@supercalime]

Well, it would make no sense for her to use the show or movie versions. They didn’t have most of the characters she’s ranking here and also, are adaptations, not a direct translations from the books. Of course she’s using Cassandra Jean’s work. It’s directly tied to all the books.

[@catherinesmith9675]

When u put mark in average my heart actually broke a little bit

Anna immediately going to Raziel tier was such a mood

[@sergiovela7686]

Emma said lesbian rights

[@violvioletvine]

sergio vela and this is why we love emma

[@kimiajokar9335]

why 99% of booktubers do not love alec? alec is the one of the wisest character in tsc. i loved thim from the first book. my faverite character is alec.i alse can't understand people that think just alec was at fault for malec breakup and hate him for that(i think magnus was more at fault than alec)🙈.but i realy enjoy this video.thank a lot😍😍😍 sorry for my bad english

[@marrraaa26]

Omg I totally agree! I love Alec with my hole heart and he's my all time favourite character! Malec is my favourite ship of all time and although I know they both made some mistakes, what truly matters is how much they love each other and how they fight for one another every single time. TSC is amazing and "My Alec" deserves the whole world in my opinion!

[@relc1705]

Yes thank you! Alec is my favorite character!!!

[@jacklemm1518]

I fell like Alec was more at fault. He was basically picking fights with Magnus over truly dumbest things and was acting frankly jealous and stupid. Like did he seriously think that Magnus hasn’t been with others before him? He also tried to find a way to take away Magnus’s immortality for his own selfish desires. And he pretty much acts all stand-offish and rude. He’s also kind of a hypocrite. Like at first he was being so mean to Simon just because he was a vampire and just because he was different when he’s a GAY MAN! Like he wants people to accept him for he is but won’t accept Simon? That just immediately make me not really care about him.

[@sergiovela7686]

Alec was annoying in the first trilogy but literally everybody was annoying in the first trilogy. His character development is really good

[@pinkbalm975]

I hated Alec at first cuz he was snobby to clary and rlly rude but he’s one of my fav characters now cuz I understand y he acted like that and he’s changed so much

[@tahirareads]

for me tessa and jem would also be part of raziel tier lol

[@rachelekstrom2224]

“Who thinks about Nate Gray?” *Tessa has entered the chat*

[@rikke4654]

[@ruthgibbons397]

Lily would go in razeil teir just because of the “brother snackariah” jokes 😅

[@mairivanschoor2434]

[@pinkbalm975]

Lucie is really interesting because she’s the first ever female written blood Herondale. I know there’s rosemary but we didn’t get much of her

[@edhone4458]

There have been Cecily before Lucie but I can get you for we will see way more of her than we saw of Cecily...

[@pinkbalm975]

Pepet Is Here oh yeah oops I swear I’m not a fake fan

[@edhone4458]

I don't think you are, there are not fake fans, but I can completely get that you are more excited about Lucie and TLH than about Cecily in TID. I, myself, am more interested in TLH and the only reason for me to remember about Cecily is that I genuinely like her 😉

[@kaydengrovenburg6608]

i would have thrown Alec into my precious babies category or even the Raziel category I literally love Alec and also his relationship with Magnus is also a very big fav of mine.

[@marrraaa26]

I totally agree. Alec is my favourite character and I really think he deserves the world! And yeah, Alec and Magnus's relationship is amazing! I love them with my hole heart! #Malec

[@giselasalmon1959]

YES I LOVED KIERAN!

[@pinkbalm975]

Me: Kieran is a character I loved, i character I loved even more, and then loved the most

[@samyen3210]

Kieran is a character I like then passionately disliked, then liked again then passionately loved. I was so happy whenever he got a POV chapter. I hope we see more of him in twp I feel like he’s underrated

[@Axhicleos]

I think that from now on I will be using the "on a scale of Raziel to Demon pox" to describe basically everything

[@ReadByAmanda]

the way you put zara into the ranking was a whole mood

[@catalinasalinas5352]

Watching this, and I really don’t know why, I realize that Matthew has so much of Will as a character and James is so much more like Jem (in the Infernal Devices)...

[@jalenoconnell896]

YOURE SO RIGHT

[@crystalc1149]

YES will and Matthew both are fairly broken inside and try to play it off but they really care about others, and james and Jem are like soft quiet cinnamon rolls

[@namratha9453]

omg yess. James just doesn't seem like a herondale unlike jace, will and kit. James seems more like a blackthorn tbh

[@sydneyfrancis6770]

i love raphael so much for no reason 😭 i cried so hard when he died

[@booklover0577]

Clary isn’t weak, the was thrown into a tough situation with people she never knew she had to trust with not just her life but also her mothers, and she went from there and made friends and family

[@Pamven]

Plus she was 16 and had no memories pertaining to the Shadow World. It's pretty understandable

[@SY-xg2hl]

I like the way cassie emphasized her humanity💗

[@rishikarawat7680]

the reason I absolutely hated clary because she did not have a life beyond jace and she continuously used the only guy (simon) who cared about her for jace.

i feel like thomas has a lot of potential especially with alastair. for some reason i really like alastair, the troubled bully is always an interesting character to me so they wouldve been higher in my list and kit is in elite tier for me and jem is absolute raziel tier to me

[@jacklemm1518]

Cause he’s jealous, territorial, selfish, rude, arrogant, and a hypocrite.

[@kianihutton5129]

@@jacklemm1518 but he's also overcome so much, he deserves to be selfish at some stages in life, which makes his character a whole lot better because it shows that he's grown.

It was so funny for me, because Magnus, Alec & Jem my favorite characters and I literally adore them with all my heart At the same time, I have a very difficult relationship with Jace and Will😂 But thanks, for sharing your opinion, it’s always interesting for me to hear a different point of view🤗 Love you❤

[@jacensolo7617]

Isabelle is my favourite character in Shadowhunters so I’m glad you put her in Raziel tier.

[@marrraaa26]

Emma, I absolutely love you and your channel but I really think that my baby Alec Lightwood deserved better. (His my all time favourite character so yeah). But hey, opinions are opinions so it's ok. I just really needed to say that about "My Alec" 😁❤❤

[@mandys1379]

Awww. Poor Alec... :(. I love Alec. He would have been rated higher on my list. Magnus, Alec, Jem and Simon are my favorite characters (although I feel like I’m forgetting about someone else who should be up there with them)
