Sebastian from The Mortal Instruments (written by@CassieClare!) 
Is his personality nature or nurture - or both?!

So Cassandra Jean has finished the complete Shadowhunter Tarot, so for the next … seventy-something days I’ll be posting a card a day (okay, maybe not every day — I tend to get distracted!)  in order, from the first card to the last. Some will be under spoiler cuts; some you’ll have seen before — I’ll explain why each character has the card they have. 
We’ve moved on from the Major Arcana to the minor Arcana — the first suit is the suit of Rings, which takes the place of the suit of Pentacles. The Ace of Rings shows Meliorn and the Seelie Queen: the rings are the gold leaf rings the Seelie Queen gives to Clary and Simon in Lost Souls so they can hear each other’s thoughts.
All the Rings in this suit are family rings except this card, and one other.

I had fun trying to think of a natural but evil looking throne for the Seelie Queen. (Not that she’s evil but… she isn’t really good is she? lol) So I decided on one made of thorny antlers.

Can’t you two losers take one normal picture? (Says the photographer inside my head.) 
Robert Lightwood and Michael Wayland being unruly teenagers?

Young Robert Lightwood and Michael Wayland. Random doodly fanart to wind down my day.
That looks awkward you guys, rumors are going to start! (because I have this thing where I imagine all parabati as being awfully close)

Valentine takes the Devil cup because, well, who else really. He is always comparing himself to Milton’s Satan, his last name is Morgenstern (which means morning star, as in How are you fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how are you cut down to the ground, who did weaken the nations!) his motto is non serviam, etc and so on.
I like that Cassandra Jean has incorporated both the Mortal Cup and the chains that bind Valentine, because he really was always something of a reluctant embracer of evil. More a “ends justify the means” guy than the “burn down the world” villain Sebastian is. 

I think this was the only Major Arcana card that had not been posted before at any point! So… enjoy the missing mystery card!

Sebastian takes the Death card. Death is a card in the tarot that promises enormous change. It seems fitting for Sebastian, who is intent on bringing change to the Shadowhunter world, come hell or high water.
I like that Cassandra Jean has incorporated both the dark Cup and the bones of a horse, considering the passage from Revelations: “And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.”
