Attractive Characters #2: Jace Lightwood

Blonde hair, gold colored eyes and a tendency to kick butt. All this applies to Jace Lightwood from the Mortal Instruments series. With his customary crooked smile, Jace is a Shadow Hunter as well as the son of the Herondale's biologically, the Lightwood's through adoption, and the Moregenstern's through....adoption as well. If a person with that many families didn't know what love was then there is something wrong in the wiring of their brain as well as heart.

Jace might know how to kick some serious patoosh and he might be able to send a demon back to its homeland without a second thought, but he also has a truly enormous that puts his family and loved ones before anything else.

With his blonde hair and gold eyes, his movie star good looks in general, he catches the eye of almost any human girl that can see him. Which almost none get that privilege, though, due to his runes for invisibility. But there is one girl that can truly capture his heart: Clary Fray. He hides many secrets from his past and refuses to acknowledge them to himself. All the darkness in him from his past, makes him all the more deadly....

1. He has movie star good looks and his heart is full of love. He protects those that he holds dear and doesn't think twice about his own safety....Though he can be a tad bit conceited...
2. Jace is a hot guy, granted, but he is also a hot guy that can kick some serious butt. Sure, he has the magic of the runes to protect him as well as some deadly devices, but who wouldn't like a guy that can knock out a demon by himself?
3. He might be a little conceited as well as sarcastic, but he is his own person and refuses to be changed by what he does for a living.

"You know, some people think Shadowhunters are just myths. Like mummies and genies." Kyle grinned at Jace. "Can you grant wishes?"

"That depends," he said. "Do you wish to be punched in the face?"

 "No," said Jace. "I think I'm better than everyone else. An opinion that has been backed up with ample evidence."

(City of Fallen Angels)

 His sarcasm is part of his charm. But, he can also be quite loving:

"I never cared," he said. "I wanted you anyway. I always wanted you."
