alice is blonde like matthew and branwell is redheaded like charles;

the two older fairchilds spoil the younger ones a lot. matthew, in particular, buys souvenirs for them on all his trips;

charles provided most of the shadowhunter training for the twins, and when matthew was home, he took the opportunity to wrestle affectionately with his brother — both of them made the twins decide who was the best at hand-to-hand combat;

matthew and charles ask all the time who the twins’ favorite is. alice always says it’s whoever asked when she’s alone, and branwell says it’s the other brother of whoever asked when he’s alone. when the question comes up while the twins are together, they name either their mother or father as their favorite;

alice is more like matthew when it comes to tastes and interests, but her personality is more serious, like charlotte’s and charles’s;

branwell is the quintessential henry, he really enjoys the lab and spending time with his father, and he also loves to talk;

branwell doesn’t have a parabatai. he admires the bond and really enjoys observing it through matthew and james, but he’s never really been interested in having one himself;

branwell had a crush on one of his best friends, alexander lightwood, but he never confessed his feelings and supported him when he started dating, then got married, and started a family — he always knew that his feelings would never be reciprocated;

alice likes to tease matthew by saying that james is her favorite person, but everyone knows the truth is that she has a crush on him and is very happy when he pays her attention;

branwell really likes the carstairs siblings, especially cordelia, because she’s a redhead just like him, and that proves they’re awesome — cordelia always agrees;

zachary carstairs has always had a soft spot for matthew, who was his favorite among the fairchilds as a child — mainly because he loved his blond hair. later, during his teenage years and for the rest of his life, alice fairchild became the center of his world, with the beautiful blond hair he adores so much and the brown eyes he simply can’t resist;

alice is the one who takes the initiative to ask zachary out for a walk. at first, it was meant to be just as friends, since they were always together during childhood, but after that specific outing, something changed in her, and zachary began to see her in a different light;

thomas and alastair always invite the twins over to play with zachary at their house, and it’s a huge mess, but they both really enjoy it;

james and cordelia know about alice’s crush on him, and cordelia likes to tease the little girl by saying that james is all hers — matthew has to comfort his sister every time, telling her he knows how she feels;

when alice marries zachary, henry has already passed away, so charlotte walks her down the aisle. alice had always wanted to waltz with her father at that moment, because she thought it was beautiful when she saw alastair dance with sona at his wedding to thomas, but unfortunately that wasn’t possible. so charles and matthew spring a surprise and dance with her, and all the fairchilds shed a few tears;

unlike his older brothers, branwell detests paris with all his might and hates it when his duties as a shadowhunter force him to pass through the city;

branwell loves the city of brussels, in belgium, and that is his “paris”. all of branwell’s romantic relationships have taken place either in brussels or in amsterdam;

branwell loves trains in general — he knows a lot about them and researches them all the time; traveling by train is his favorite thing to do;

the twins are afraid of boats and ships and get seasick very easily on those kinds of trips.
