Say Tywin and Joanna had a daughter before Cersei and Jaime and Tywin focuses on that daughter becoming queen instead and she's the one who ends up married to Robert, who would Cersei marry in this scenario and how would she turn out with an older sister who becomes queen?

Hi there!

Unfortunately, I’m pretty rubbish with these Very Specific What-If questions. 

The mere existence of an older sister would already have profound effects on how Cersei herself develops as a person, her relationship with Jaime, with her father, with her treatment as a girl (compared to Jaime)... everything. 

She might be a very different person, for better or worse. A lot would depend on the character of this sister, and her own relationship with Tywin and her role as a Lannister daughter. It’s almost impossible to speculate, really. 

Assuming, somehow everything plot-relevant still goes down the same way during the Rebellion, Cersei would marry whoever Tywin considered expedient for House Lannister at the time. 

(Mostly just me looking at what Tywin’s been up to on that front in general.)

Here’s what he claims to have considered in the past for Jaime and Tyrion:

"I once hoped to marry your brother to Lysa Tully, but Aerys named Jaime to his Kingsguard before the arrangements were complete. When I suggested to Lord Hoster that Lysa might be wed to you instead, he replied that he wanted a whole man for his daughter."

So he wed her to Jon Arryn, who was old enough to be her grandfather. Tyrion was more inclined to be thankful than angry, considering what Lysa Arryn had become.

"When I offered you to Dorne I was told that the suggestion was an insult," Lord Tywin continued. "In later years I had similar answers from Yohn Royce and Leyton Hightower. I finally stooped so low as to suggest you might take the Florent girl Robert deflowered in his brother's wedding bed, but her father preferred to give her to one of his own household knights. (ASOS, Tyrion III)

We can’t know how honest Tywin is about any of this, because the offer toward Dorne was obviously meant as an insult he expected to be rejected, since they had come expecting Jaime the heir. The Tully match was very much serious, so he had intentions toward the Riverlands, and if the others are true, toward the Vale and the Reach as well. (Though I don’t buy the Florent girl story. Tywin would NEVER take that risk if there was still any chance Tyrion might inherit the Rock against Tywin’s will.)

Cersei is a touch older than Edmure Tully and Willas Tyrell but as sister to the queen and daughter to Tywin Lannister she would have been a highly desirable match for literally any House. What matters most, of course, is what would be useful to Tywin.

Looking at the Lannister matches that Tywin likely had a say in: 

We have his brothers Tygett and Kevan who both married within the Westerlands (Marbrand and Swyft). 

We have his Lannister nephews Lancel and Tyrek who both squired for Robert and married to gain control over other castles (Hayford in the crownlands and Darry at the Riverlands Crossroads), plus Willem and Martyn who were a squires presumably in the Westerlands, since both fought in Jaime’s army. (No information on plans for daughter Janei.)

We have Genna’s Frey-born sons who married Riverlanders (Darry) and westerlanders (Crakehall) respectively, or squired in the Westerlands. Tywin’s goal for Genna’s grandchildren by Jeyne Darry and her son Cleos also tie them to the Riverlands (inheriting Riverrun from Emmon Frey) and the westerlands (squiring at Ashemark).

Basically, Tywin was primarily shoring up a secure base in the Westerlands where he destroyed two enemy Houses and then built ties to the others through marriages or sending squires. 

His doesn’t do much to exploit the ties Tytos built to the Riverlands through Genna, and mostly focuses specifically on Lannister descendents taking over the rulership of other castles (Hayford and Darry and Riverrun and arguably Winterfell) when the opportunity presents itself. It doesn’t always work out but that’s the tendency.

Which... doesn’t really help us with “What if”-Cersei, but helps suggest that he may have most strongly pushed for Edmure Tully or Willas Tyrell, who are both heirs to their Great Houses, placing Cersei’s kids in prime positions of influence over entire regions bordering the Westerlands. Andar Royce could have been an option, but perhaps more likely Baelor Hightower, son and heir to Leyton, depending on if he was still available at the time or already married. 

But really, I am not nearly well versed enough in the intricacies of the individual regions and Houses to make good guesses here. I’m probably missing some brilliant option.
