'Shadowhunters' Clary Fray is a ray of hope for anyone niggled by self-doubt and struggling to fit in

Despite being a prodigy of sort, Clary falters, but then she gets back on track with an undefeatable attitude about herself, and that's what makes her so worthy of admiration.

It is one thing to be born under the influence and guidance of a community that has been tasked with the responsibility of making the world a better place to live in. It is completely another thing to be introduced to the world out of the blue - without a single forewarning - and be expected to execute your duties to the planet, especially when it involves fighting supernatural creatures.

This is where Clary Fray (Katherine McNamara) from the highly popular Freeform fantasy series 'Shadowhunters' steps in and becomes a ray of hope for anyone riddled with self-doubt and is struggling to fit in, in what has been deemed as their calling.

Over the last three years, we have seen her grow, evolve, and transform into a powerful, kick-ass demon slayer on the show and it only goes further to prove that no goal is unachievable once you're fully devoted to it. 

Despite having been the protagonist of the show, Clary was introduced to the idea of the supernaturally charged titular Shadowhunters much like we viewers were. While she was born in the shadow world to a woman shadowhunter herself - it is also to be noted that at an early age -  Clary's memories were also blocked and wiped after she had almost gotten attacked by a demon.  Clary didn't even remember who her real father was. Granted that must have ensured a pretty secure childhood for her, the peace and calm of it all didn't last long.
