Someone better versed in the differences between American Victorian society and English Victorian society give me some behaviors or quirks Tessa would’ve had/done that would have the London Institute people going ‘she’s so American’ (with affection of course). It’s too easy to forget that she grew up in a different culture and Cassie Clare and we as a fandom don’t play up enough her Americaness enough
Bonus points for differences that she could’ve passed on to her kids. I like to imagine there are certain things James and Lucie learned from their mother that had people going ‘you are for sure your mother’s child. What you just did was so American. She’s so American.’
#also someone please describe to me what exactly Tessa’s accent would’ve been like and how different it would’ve been from Jem and Will’s#cassie clare#shadowhunters#tsc#the infernal devices#the last hours#the shadowhunter chronicles#tlh#cassandra clare#my post#wessa#graystairs#tessa herondale#tessa carstairs#tessa gray#tid
