It took me a moment to even realize that these two characters have much in common though you wouldn’t think so. Clary is a 15/16 (she turns 16 half way through the first book) from New York City while Amy (in early 20s for the show) is from a small town in the UK. What happens to both of them though is very extraordinary. One travels though time and space while the other Finds a hidden world and past kept from her.
Clary starts her journey in a club downtown with her friend Simon. She sees three people kill a bow. When she goes to tell someone, nobody can see what was happening but her. After a fight with her mother the next day, she leaves and comes to find out that her mother has disappeared. This makes her go on an epic journey to find out who she really is, a life her mother kept from her, and to choose between two people she loves.
We start with Amy when she was young(around 8-10ish) and finds a man with a blue box in her backyard. The man tells her he will come back for her, but it takes him around 11 years to come back. Throughout the first season with the man(The Doctor) and Amy he makes odd comments about her life while they travel across time and space in the TARDIS(time and relative dimension in space), such as why she lives in such a big house that has only her in it.
Both Clary and Amy start at a random point in time that their lives change forever. Both have mothers that are gone from the beginning of the book. Clary finds her mom later on in the first book but is in a coma. Amy gets her mother and father back after the Doctor creates the Big Bang 2.
Both Girls have two love interest in their life. Clary has her best Simon and the cute new guy Jace. Amy has the mysterious Doctor who can take her anywhere and her childhood friend Rory. With Clary when find out later on that Jace is actually Clary’s long lost brother and as it seems so far in the second book that she is with Simon though it seems that Jace and her still have feelings for each other. Amy has been in love with the Doctor since she was young, and Rory has loved her since they’ve been friends. Though she loves the Doctor(and kisses the Doctor the night before her wedding to Rory) she eventually.
As I read more into Clary’s story I feel like her and Amy might have more in common than I thought already.
(I used Clary from The Mortal Instruments Series and Amy from Doctor Who(season 5-ongoing))
