#Elenda Caron

[stromuprisahat]

“The great lords would have given us another two years of war,” the fool declares in his Testimony, “it was the women who made the peace. Black Aly, the Maiden of the Vale, the Three Widows, the Dragon Twins, ’twas them who brought the bloodshed to an end, and not with swords or poison, but with ravens, words, and kisses.”

Fire and Blood (George R. R. Martin)

[survivinglifesstruggles]

Me, thinking of House Baratheon at the time of Dance of the Dragons while sick: What if Aemond had married one of the Baratheon girls and consummated the marriage and got her pregnant but it was kept quiet because, you know, giant target suddenly on Storm’s End, and baby boy Royce Baratheon isn’t Borros son but his grandson and Elenda faked a pregnancy/hers didn’t make it and maybes that why Aegon was sure Cassandra would give him sons because she had given Aemond a son…..

Character Biography Under the Cut

The eldest daughter of Lord Royce Caron and his Lady wife, Elenda Baratheon is 40 years old and the Lady of Storms End. Seemingly cold on the outside but warm to friends and family, Elenda is known for her strong and nurturing nature. Always one to speak her mind on how she believes Storms End needs to be run, she is never far from her husband and prefers to spend her time overseeing decisions with him. Elenda does not often show her emotion through words or touch, but always through gesture or great gift that will let you know you have her favor. She speaks little to strangers but dotes on the ones she cares for, showering them with gifts and praise always, and expecting them to return those favors. At the age of ten and seven, Lady Elenda was married to Borros Baratheon, some saying that she had pushed extremely hard for this match, calling her overly ambitious. She had boasted about falling instantly in love with Lord Borros, but many have been quick to assume that what she truly wanted was to be the Lady of Storms End, and her love was only a lie to achieve her ambitions. No matter her true intentions, the two were married and had their eldest daughter, Cassandra, two years later. Together the two have four daughters, Cassandra, Maris, Ellyn, and Floris. Elenda is noted to be extremely proud of her eldest daughter, sharing a close relationship with her. Elenda is fond of fine jewelry and clothing, loving to pick out outfits for herself and her family members including her children and husband. Others are quick to call Lady Elenda ambitious just as they did in her youth, as she has now integrated her daughters heavily with the royal family and strives to ensure her daughters are as successful in their own marriages and lives as she believes she's been. Suggested faceclaim: Maria Doyle-Kennedy in The Tudors

Elenda Baratheon

Elenda Baratheon, née Elenda Caron, was the Lady of Storm's End through her marriage to Lord Borros Baratheon during the Dance of the Dragons. During the reign of King Aegon III Targaryen, she ruled Storm's End as regent.

Following her husband's death, Elenda ruled as regent for her newborn son. Seeing her men broken by battle, she agreed to terms of peace. Still weak from childbirth, she gave three of her daughters as hostages to the crown. They were accompanied by Ser Willis Fell and Princess Jaehaera Targaryen, who had been given refuge at Storm's End during the war.

In 132 AC, Lady Elenda married again, to Ser Steffon Connington, second son of the Lord of Griffin's Roost and a man twenty years her junior. With Royce but an infant, Elenda felt that she needed a strong man's hand to keep the peace against the increasingly frequent raids from Dornishmen. However, in 133 AC Steffon was slain by Wyland Wyl in the Dornish Marches, and Elenda was widowed once more.

After the death of Queen Jaehaera in 133 AC, Elenda wrote to the Crown, offering her daughters Cassandra and Ellyn as potential brides for King Aegon III. Three years later, Cassandra was tried for attempting to poison the king and his new queen, Daenaera Velaryon. Elenda sent three stormlords to speak for Storm's End, being too ill to attend herself. They arranged for Cassandra to marry Ser Walter Brownhill, a widower, as Elenda correctly believed that caring for Walter's thirteen children would cease Cassandra's scheming and plotting.

Elenda may have hesitated to take action, but she was still respected as the Lady of Storm's End

[mvndrvke]

@ladiestorms ( continued )

Curiosity had brought her down when she'd seen the dragon flying over Storm's End. Shireen knew she was not meant to wander around when there were strangers visiting, but she could only get a good view of the dragon from one of the balconies opposite her rooms. Borros would not be thrilled that she was out, but she hoped Elenda would not tell him she'd been wandering.

"I just wanted to see Vhagar," she says. "She's one of the largest dragons of House Targaryen." She can't hide the excitement in her voice. She glances out of the window again, then back to Elenda. The woman brushes some of her hair back from her temple, and her shoulders slump a little. "I won't let anyone see me. Just a few more minutes?"

[thaliajoy-blog]

Why isn't it more talked about how there's canonically an archmaester who wrote a very, very big Book about women ruling in the aftermath of the Dance. It's a detail that rules so much. A guy literally talking about hundreds of widows ruling parts of Westeros after the war. Why not much talk about Johanna Lannister, born Westerling, Sharis Footly, Lady Tyrell, Samantha Tarly, Elenda Baratheon born Caron, Sabitha Frey, Alys Rivers in her own way...a tide of ruling girls because a bunch of guys weren't cool with a girl ruling & got themselves killed trying to stop it. That's some massive irony.

[15-lizards]

i just found your posts and i love youuu! can you write about the costumes of the Baratheon sisters, called Four Storms and their mother plz?

Thinking ab characters mentioned once in the fake history book>>>

Also I’ll do faceclaims/fancasts again cause those were fun

Elenda Caron was smarter than any man in or after the dance. An intelligent and reasonable woman, she was thrust into the role of lady and then regent of storms end, and had to dress seriously to be taken seriously. High necked gowns, natural waists and shapes, puffy/long sleeves, gilded and shining patterns or embroidery that showed off her rank but not overly gaudy. She’s a woman of moderation. Elenda knows how to emulate power and class and she knows how to do it all reasonably. Girlboss I love her

Cassandra was the most ambitious of the sisters, scheming to try and become queen for years. She adored rich velvets and royal colors. Especially Targaryen colors. Her gowns were always full and flowing but with a tight bodice, and every inch was oft covered in fancy lace, patterns, and embroidery. She wasn’t shy or modest about the clothes she wore. And jewelry was her favorite of all. She even had Borros have a special crown made just for her, formed from delicate gold and pearls, which she frequently wore to court. Modesty? Doesn’t know her.

Maris was the cleverest and wittiest, but said to be the “least comely” of them. She thought frivolous, extravagant clothing did not suit her, so she preferred to wear plain shift gowns. Long, flat skirts, simple patterns, and natural shapes, waists, and sleeves. Her tendency for simplicity was half her no nonsense and skeptic personality and half her internalized insecurity. After the war, when she spurned marriage for the silent sisters, probably for some peace of mind for once, she wore their typical rough grey homespun. No longer having to worry about her appearance was a relief

Poor Ellyn is the overlooked sister. One of the only mentions of her is at the maidens day ball, when one of her sisters spread a rumor that she asked Aegon a lewd question. She was probably chasing attention and approval, deciding to emulate the elder Cassandra. She wore pretty velvets too, but in simple shapes and lighter colors due to her young age. She begged her mother to be allowed to wear her hair up like the grown women did, so that she might be noticed for once.

Young Floris was the prettiest, even if she was rather frivolous. She didn’t like the shapeless clothing of the stormlands, nor did she enjoy the stiffness of fashion in kings landing. She enjoyed silks, satins, and gauzes, enjoying the way it followed around and clung to her perfectly. Borros was wrapped around her finger, ordering whatever Myrish laced or Lyseni silks she wanted, making her the standout at court and the envy of all the young women (though she may have been compared to a Essosi concubine more than once). She never grew out of this airy attitude, as ofc she died from Child by Old Man disease when she was like 16

[florisbaratheons]

Actually! That was Cassandra and she was married to Walter Brownhill, who had 16 living children. Floris was the one married off to Thaddeus.

Borros seemed to give more of a shit about his daughters - he was negotiating with Aegon for Cassandra to marry him and be queen, and Floris to marry Larys, who was on the King's Council - which, YES we all hate Larys, he's fucking creepy, but on paper it is a good marriage, because he was the Lord of Harrenhal and it would have made Floris the Lady of Harrenhal. Once Borros was dead, Elenda seemed so done with their daughters. Such a shame!

Okay, but I did not become president of the Thaddeus Rowan hate club to be disrespected like this. The man had seven sons from his previous marriages and then went on to impregnate a fifteen year old and she DIED in childbirth. I am absolutely calling that problematic and hating on it

Ladies of "Loyalty" (Ellyn Baratheon)

I am making profiles for every important woman in my Aemond x Reader series "Loyalty".

Name: Ellyn Baratheon

House: Baratheon

Loyalty during "The Dance": Green

Date of Birth: 111 AC

Family:

Borro Baratheon (father)

Elenda Caron (mother)

Cassandra Baratheon (sister)

Maris Baratheon (sister)

Floris Baratheon (sister)

Royce Baratheon (brother)

Aemond Targaryen (husband)

Ellyn Baratheon was betrothed to Aemond Targaryen at the very beginning of The Dance in 132 AC. Immediately she was taken straight to Kings Landing to marry Prince Aemond. She was escorted by Prince Aemond on dragon back as Lord Borros was eager for his daughter to be married. They were married by the High Septon in the Red Keep. She started a rivalry with Y/n Tyrell as she was assumed there was an affair between the two. Ellyn attempted to accuse Y/n of being her husbands mistress but failed. This rivalry was shortly put on halt when Y/n went of to marry Jason Lannister.

She resided in Kings Landing for the better part of a year. During that time she tried for a child with her husband but was unsuccessful. When Aemond took Harrenhal Ellyn went with him. There he met Alys Rivers. Ellyn also believed he was having an affair with her. Things got worse when Y/n Tyrell fled to Harrenhal, with child.

At this point Ellyn became ill with an unknown disease. She started to waste away. Her older sister Maris eventually came to be with her. Ellyn died in 133 AC, a year and a half after her marriage to Prince Aemond. She was buried in Harrenhal, her family never asked for the remains to be returned.

House Baratheon Aesthetic

During the Dance of the Dragons, House Baratheon was led by Lord Boros Baratheon. He was married to Lady Elenda Caron and from her had four daughters, known as the Four Storms: Cassandra, Maris, Ellyn, and Floris. While the battle of succession for the Iron Throne raged on Lord Boros himself was in a crisis as he lacked a male heir.

[branwendaughterofllyr]

maris fic????? im soo curious about it👀

Evidently the people want to know about Maris. So to be clear, I currently have no plans to post any Maris fic, it was just one of the ideas I was playing with before I ended up writing a poison tree. I don't think I even have the draft anymore, and all I can remember about it is the line "Maris was not the prettiest of her sisters. Which was fine, for she certainly was the cleverest." I believe it was an Aemond/Maris fic, with a focus on the Four Storms.

I actually think the Four Storms get a bad rap in the fandom, considering three out of four of them ended miserably, and we don't know what happened to the other one.

And there's a very telling detail, I think, that most people miss when it comes to Elenda Caron and her daughters.

Lady Elenda Baratheon, the widow of Storm’s End, also took a new husband that year. With Lord Borros dead and Royce an infant, Dornish incursions into the stormlands had grown more numerous, and the outlaws of the kingswood were proving troublesome. The widow felt the need of a man’s strong hand to keep the peace. She chose Ser Steffon Connington, second son of the Lord of Griffin’s Roost. Though twenty years younger than Lady Elenda, Connington had proved his valor during Lord Borros’s campaign against the Vulture King, and was said to be as fierce as he was handsome.

And I honestly think this hints at something darker about the way that Lady Elenda unloaded all of her daughters off, either as septas or wives, since her new husband would have been closer in age to her unmarried daughters. Maris joins the Silent Sisters for unknown reasons, and while it probably is just a rumor her tongue was cut out, considering that her sisters also ended pretty miserably and she was partially blamed for Aemond losing his temper and killing Luke, I am side-eyeing it.

And I also think that Cassandra gets a bad rap, as well, despite her being in pretty uncomfortable straits after the Dance. Casssandra is likely around twenty (based off of Floris' age) and unmarried, no longer the heir to Storm's End because of her new brother, has lost her chances to be princess and then queen, and now a large chunk of the eligible men have died during the recent Civil War. And I don't think she was the one who killed Jaehaera, and I think that all of the above issues made her a great target for possibly being framed in the matter of the poisoning. Or if she was actually involved, she was likely an easy mark for manipulation (and considering that Tessario was an Unwin Peake appointment.....). And her punishment being to get married off to an old man with a bunch of children, while her mother declares it will stop her plotting..... Idk, maybe you should have been more on top of things, Elenda!

And then we finally have Floris getting married off to a man old enough to be her grandfather at age 14/15, who had SEVEN sons from two prior marriages but still gets her pregnant almost immediately, leading to her dying in childbirth at only 16. I don't care how sad Thaddeus Rowan was anout his teen bride dying with his twentieth kid, you can't make me like him!!!!!!

The Four Storms are really canon OCs to me, so I'm more than a little disappointed how slept on they are, and I think Maris and Cassandra are the real standouts here.
