#like any minor lord is gonna teach his daughter to curtsy.

i’m curious. you have to have a theory it can’t just be “d&d were just throwing shit at the wall” which is the obvious and real answer. what do u think they meant for shae’s background to be.

she’s essosi, from lorath specifically

she’s traveled a lot - or so she claims

she implies she’s born of a higher status, or at least she’s not lowborn, that she grew up with married parents who were potentially kinda normal

she doesn’t know courtesies at all - she can’t curtsy, she doesn’t know what a lady’s maid does

she DOES have a p decent understanding of the dangers of politics & seems to find them distasteful despite clearly wanting to social climb

like who the fuck was she before she got to Westeros ten years ago 😭
