There’s just something about the fact that Annabel Blackthorn grew up in 1700’s Cornwall, the beginning of the end for the area’s language and dialect and culture and unique identity because they were being assimilated into the “proper” English whole, something about Annabel being more Mundane than Shadowhunter and more Downworlder than both, something about Annabel speaking the language of the death, the language of those she distrusted, and the language that was dying, something about Annabel being born into a culture and than dying alongside it, something about Annabel Blackthorn living and dying as a Cornish girl and being brought back to life as an Englishwoman
