Hi! This is my first TMI fanfic! Please no flames or anything scary. I live in New Zealand, and have always been interested in the how the Shadowhunting world would connect with the NZ environment. Thus, this story!

Just a few notes:

1) I have no idea if Institutes in New Zealand are already canon, I pretty much made the Shadowhunter places here up.

2) The major, controlling storyline is Cassandra Clare's. There I said it, this disclaimer will stand for the whole collection of one-shots, I see no need to repeat myself each chapter

3) Shadowhunter Families mentioned, are also predominantly made up. There are occasionally canon characters mentioned, and/or seen but they are generally either extremely minor or honestly just mentioned

4) Each chapter for me is generally inspired by a passage from the actual books. They will generally be my take on these little passages

This first chapter is a list of characters, as there will literally be no introduction, just because these are all one-shots and you will be, almost literally, thrown into things.

Characters:

Damaris Dragonway- Tall yet sturdy with dark blonde hair tinged with lighter streaks and steely blue-gray eyes. Her father, Aaron Dragonway, is the head of the Auckland Institute although Damaris is often sent down to the smaller Wellington institute to train with the other Shadowhunter children in the capital. She is jealous of the easy relationship Caitlyn and Jemimah have as Parabatai. Wanting to be different from her more outgoing peers, she focused on becoming more attuned to the politics, romances and scandals of the Shadowhunting world, something her friends are oblivious to. More open to being girly, and talking about such things, Damaris uses more elegant weapons such as whips and misericords. (14)

Ben Dragonway- Tall with hazel hair and grey eyes. Damaris' brother (11)

Jemimah Whitescar- average height and size (though of lighter build than most Whitescars) with pale blond hair and light blue eyes. Her parents are often away in Idris, and she stays with the Redfoxes and Caitlyn at the Wellington Institute when they are away. She is an only child and usually rather unaware of consequences for her actions and relies on Caitlyn to slow her down, although her temper is not as extreme as her Parabatai's. Caitlyn and her are very similar, and she was the one who asked to be Parabatai with Caitlyn as she felt she needed to be understood by someone who would understand her and accept her. Outgoing and sometimes reckless, 'Mimes' is skilled at fighting with her twin light-weight short swords. (13)

Ethan Redfox- The eldest of the Redfox children, Ethan inherited the trademark Redfox ginger hair and brown eyes. Cheeky, but easily embarrassed, he often flirts easily with girls, which the teen inhabitants of the Wellington Institute put down to his exposure to them. Damaris and Jemimah often tease him mercilessly about dancing with Claudia Makepeace at the Melbourne Institute's Christmas party. He cares deeply for his family, and often feels sorry for his female peers for not having much family. Of all the Shadowhunters, he feels like Caitlyn understands them the most, as she has a younger brother who she cares for. He finds this ironic as he at first felt superior to her as she used to be a mundane. His father, Felix Redfox, is head of the institute, but surprisingly still has time to be a father to him and his twin siblings, even after the death of his mother. Ethan, like most Redfoxes before him prefers concealed daggers and throwing knives in combat. (12)

Julia Redfox- The younger sister of Ethan Redfox, and the daughter of Felix Redfox and Gillian Redfox (nee Verlac, Deceased) Julia has the bright hair of the Redfoxes and the blue eyes of her mother. Bright and bubbly, unlike her twin she doesn't want to be like her older brother, and is completely happy with her life. Although being is a Shadowhunter is all she's ever known, she often feels like she wants to play with the mundanes she sees outside the institute and, unlike her brother and twin, is not waiting for her first marks. Julia often barges in on the older children when talking. (8)

Joel Redfox- Oddly unlike his siblings, Joel is quiet and reserved and likes to plan ahead. He is compared to his mother in personality and looks, having inherited her blue eyes and fair hair. He wants to fight like his brother does, and his sister often mocks him for it. Joel is generally open to new things but doesn't adapt well when thrown into things suddenly. (8)

Caitlyn Stagpath- Caitlyn was a mundane less than six months ago, and was recruited for ascension by the Wellington Institute. While training in at the Institute prior to her ascension, she formed a close bond with Jemimah Whitescar and agreed when Jemimah offered to be Parabatai, Caitlyn agreed. Caitlyn chose her own Shadowhunter name to resemble her mundane family's crest, a stag. She is protective of her brother, who is yet to ascend as he is still too young. She is of average height for a girl, but has (for a girl) broad shoulders. Caitlyn has stormy green eyes and slightly curly brown hair with streaks of copper and gold. Felix Redfox has often said that she adapted very well to Shadowhunting, and sometimes mentors her himself. She is an friendly person, but hates demons with a passion, after seeing them kill her dog after her Ascension. Known to form strong bonds with people (and animals) in her life, she is extremely loyal and will risk deep trouble to help her friends and family. Caitlyn is not as reckless as Jemimah in battle, and is notably much more sensible, however she has a hot temper that can sometimes get away from her when fighting for a cause she has great passion for. She prefers to use short swords and daggers. (13)

Angus Stagpath- Caitlyn Stagpath's younger brother is still a mundane, but prefers to go by his Shadowhunter family name. He spends a lot of time at the Wellington Institute training for his upcoming ascension. Angus is known to get very annoyed when compared to his Shadowhunter sister, even though they look very alike around the eyes. He and his sister both share green eyes, although hers are fractionally darker and neither of their parents have green eyes. His hair is light brown and usually shaggy, especially after sleeping. (11)

Thanks so much for reading! The actual first one-shot will be up shortly!
