I've had a dream my whole life to find true love. No, it's not with Alec Lightwood. He's in love with Magnus Bane. Since I was engaged to Alec, most assume I loved him. I was in love long before him, before I was a shadowhunter, before I worked for the clave, this was a time where I was known in the big four. A time I felt alone because Frost chose the Snow Queen over me. This was way before Alec Lightwood.
Eugene Rider was his name. Though the shadow world knew him as John. Some say he died in a demon attack. I saw it happen, and I sent the demon back where it came from.
    You see, Eugene, was my one true love. The only man who accepted my crazy family. My mother use't to teach a t Hogwarts; school of witchcraft and wizardry. While my father is currently in jail. Don't get me started on my siblings. Barry,the oldest, lives in the basement and makes mom take care of his two kids. I don't know why they gave him full custody. Then it's me. My younger sister was very smart and then love blinded her. She fell in love with the Joker and became Harley Quinn. However, she's trying to be better now, she's met a Fae named Rowan, who seems to be treating her well. Next is Matt, who is moms perfect son. He tries to be perfect for her. Dad always called him a sissy because he's a mamas boy. Lastly, Ianthe. Being the youngest she often feels left out. She'll do anything for attention;including sleeping around.
   She's actually how I met Frost. When Eugene died I got really depressed. Mom considered dad and Harley crazy and didn't want me to turn out like them. She wouldn't give me space and wanted to put me on medication. I told her I wasn't crazy and didn't have a mental disorder.
   Ianthe mentioned to lock myself in a tower if I wanted to be alone. Even though she was jealous and sarcastic, I couldn't help but agree with her.
   The witch didn't lock Rapunzel in the tower, Rapunzel locked herself in there.
