Of course I love them

Challenge for @asongofgoldenfireandblackblood

Aliandra sighed as she leaned against the bedframe in exhaustion, to be entirely truthful she could not wait to go back to her kingdom to dorne to her home but they're were opportunities here and she needs to be careful not to squander any. While gazing at the setting sun her hand unconsciously began to fiddle with the opal necklace given to her by her youngest sister.

obella was very popular here in king's landing, aliandra wasn't surprised her youngest sister was a great lover of dance, hunting and fashion in equal measure. Intriguingly enough and much to her delight she has been titled the pearl of dorne by singers and admirers, obella has even earned the attention of many young Westerosi lords and heirs, should she perhaps arrange a match? after all obella was old enough….… but aliandra cannot lie to herself that she will greatly miss her.

She shook her head obella was only sixteen there was still time and likely, the men outside of dorne do not know how to treat their women properly as her cupbearer obella can pick a better man for herself and besides Qyle was her elder and at 18; he was more at a marriageable age, but since their father's death when he was only 9, and she 13, he has been fostered by his their aunt Moriah, and uncle Symon, which was why sometimes she felt as if she did not truly know him as well as she knew her sisters.

It was an amusing thing that if not for a stroke of fortune at her birth she would be passed over in favor for him but anyways his bright nature and his position as the prince of Dorne would surely earn him considerable attention, but he was prone to anxiety, which was why she had not bought him along, and marriage was a difficult thing.

Coryanne, one of her chief advisors and dear sister had well not a difficult marriage but it was openly known that her marriage although outwardly a romantic tale of two childhood friends was only one of political convenience and personal convenience, as her husband has several paramours he clearly adores, and coryanne is notably disinterested in both men and romantic pursuits as a whole. Aliandra has little doubt that many of these young lords are intimidating by cor's bluntness. 

She wryly smiles at her hypocrisy before arranging matches for her brother and sisters, She should look at her own love life after all she was 22 and still unwed

She remembered there was a saying back home that the ruling princess of dorne was driven by her love for her siblings first, her love for her kingdom second, and all other matters in this world last, almost derisively she said out loud “Of course I love them the most.”

The Sand Snakes

[Most characters cut; those who remained were changed to some extent]

Obara Sand - Prince Oberyn’s first born; A prickly, hot-tempered woman, long legged, calloused hands, rat brown hair tied up in a knot, and nearing 30. When her father came for her in Oldtown he threw down a spear and told her to pick her weapon, to which she chose the spear, leaving her prostitute mother behind whom not long after drank herself to death

Nymeria Sand “Lady Nym” - She is 25, slim and slender, with long jet black hair usually pulled back in a braid, which pronounces her widows peak. Her mother was a Volantene highborn woman of the noblest blood. Whilst Nym stole all the beauty from Obara she was no less deadly and has been described as vengeful

Tyene Sand - Born from a Septa, she is described as having golden hair, deep blue eyes, dimples that bloom on her cheeks when she smiles, fair of skin, and her voice is both gentle and sweet. Though her hands were not calloused as with Obara, they were just as deadly due to her adeptness for poisons. She and Princess Arianne Martell are as close as sisters, having grown up together, and even bedded the same man together whom took their maidenheads

Sarella Sand “Alleras the Sphinx” - The daughter of the Summer Islander Captain of the Feathered Kiss. She has light brown skin and an insatiable curiosity which strikes up a love for Oldtown in her. It is theorized that she is currently in the Citadel disguised as Alleras the Sphinx (Alleras is Sarella spelled backwards, both characters are half Dornish and half Southern Islander) studying to become a Maester

Elia Sand “Lady Lance/El” - The oldest child of The Red Viper and Ellaria Sand, named after her late aunt Princess Elia Martell. She has her father’s eyes and also wears her hair in a braid. She and Obella are described as worshiping their elder sisters, such as they are worshipped by their younger sisters. Her weapon of choice is without question a lance

Obella Sand - the second daughter of the Prince and his long time paramour, she is described as a terror in the pools of the Water Garden, and is currently a Cupbearer to the Castellan of Sunspear, Manfrey Martell

Dorea Sand - She, like most of her siblings, share the shape of her fathers eyes and is named after her Uncle and the Prince of Sunspear and Dorne, Doran Martell

Loreza Sand “Loree” - The youngest child has just turned 7 and is accompanying her mother Ellaria to Hellholt, which is the seat of Lord Harmen Uller, her grandfather

Oberyn's Martell children "Sand Snakes" and his paramour Ellaria Sand

[martellspear]

headcanons - doran, oberyn and elia's father

he is from braavos and has a lyseni mother, which caused him to have dark purple eyes and hair with some silvery strings - that his granddaughter will have too -

he is more than happy to leave everything in his wife's hands + likes coming up with things to cheer her up; writing songs, for example, which later oberyn does do ellaria

he wanted to do everything at once and see all the things life had to offer, and he sort of did, then he married obella and settled down; he still likes to sail and would often take doran with him but didn't do the same for the other kids bc he was already too old to handle kid!oberyn in a boat

peeled oranges for his kids as a love language

has no ability whatsoever with the spear but understands poison and other more academic things as well (he managed to spend a year in the citadel, but never told anyone about it)

played cyvasse with elia + taught her to draw + tried to do the same with oberyn but he didn't like having to sit still for it (liked playing cyvasse with elia though)

has killed for obella, she knows but pretended she doesn't

when he found out that "bella" means beautiful in some old language, it was the only thing he'd call her; she gets 🙄 but in reality is 🥰🥰

liked to sing for his babies to fall asleep

Character biography under the cut

The youngest child of the late Prince Qoren and his wife, Lady Loreza, Obella is 16, and has served as her sister, Aliandra's, cupbearer at Sunspear since the age of ten. A great lover of dance, hunting, and fashion in equal measure, Obella first accompanied Aliandra's Dornish envoy to Court in King's Landing to treat with the new Queen during her coronation, where she earned the attention of many young Westerosi lords and heirs, and the title of The Pearl of Dorne. While the title delighted Obella and intrigued the notoriously scrupulous Aliandra in equal measure, when the former sparked a romance with Prince Lucerys Velaryon, the heir to Driftmark, it was Aliandra who pursued the match with unflinching conviction. The Ruling-Princess and their middle sister, Princess Coryanne, have both spent near-countless hours working through the painstaking logistics of a new alliance with Lord Corlys, who while eager at the prospect of the match, has thoroughly proved his reputation for political ambition and harsh business priorities in equal measure during the negotiations. Obella, on the other hand, has spent their return visits to Westeros left to grow close with her betrothed, sail, attend balls, and bond over their shared interests; granted a comfortable, happy existence as the ultimate show of care Aliandra may provide through the power that goes hand in hand with the personal complexities of her sovereignty.

Some sketches of the Sand Snakes, daughters of Oberyn Martell and diferent women.

[daenerystargaryensgirlfriend]

This is so true!

The show butchered her and all of the sand snakes. All of them actually have a mind in the books, they do want revenge for Oberyn death and they do want to kill Cersei, Tommen, Tywin, Tyrion (and... more? I don't remember) but they don't want to kill Doran and his son! They first try to orchestrate a scheme that involves Myrcella as queen, but then Doran finds out and he imprison them (mostly because he was actually afraid of their impulsivity). In the end they decide to help him in his complicated and long term scheme to infiltrate King's Landing. They do still want revenge and desire blood, but they're also willing to have an actual strategy.

"Oberyn wanted vengeance for Elia. Now the three of you want vengeance for him. I have four daughters, I remind you. Your sisters. My Elia is fourteen, almost a woman. Obella is twelve, on the brink of maidenhood. They worship you, as Dorea and Loreza worship them. If you should die, must El and Obella seek vengeance for you, then Dorea and Loree for them? Is that how it goes, round and round forever? I ask again, where does it end?" Ellaria Sand laid her hand on the Mountain's head. "I saw your father die. Here is his killer. Can I take a skull to bed with me, to give me comfort in the night? Will it make me laugh, write me songs, care for me when I am old and sick?

-Ellaria Sand to Obara, Nymeria, and Tyene Sand

Ellaria has a MIND and she USE it in the books! And the other girls too!

So since I hated the "You want a good girl but you need the bad pussy" line in the show here are some Sand Snakes quotes from the books that I have highlighted.

I could wish that he died at my hand. If he had, his dying would not have been so easy.

-Nymeria Sand to Ellaria Sand

Give me back my spear, Uncle. Cersei sent us a head. We should send her back a bag of them.

-Obara Sand to Doran Martell

Lady Tyene's voice was gentle, and she looked as sweet as summer strawberries. Her mother had been a septa, and Tyene had an air of almost otherworldy innocence about her

-thoughts of Areo Hotah

I am almost a woman grown, ser. I'll let you spank me, though but first you'll need to tilt with me, and knock me off my horse.

-Elia Sand to Joss, Garibald and Arianne

Nym would sometimes join them in their sport, and Sarella was forever pushing in where she didn't belong, but for the most part, they had been a company of five.

-thoughts of Arianne

i be living life going peacefully through my day then i suddenly remember how dumb&dumber made show!ellaria kill doran to avenge oberyn and i get pissed off all over again

FOR: open to all in king's landing.

LOCATION: the training yard of the Red keep

A sister married and a battle fought but while superficial wounds and savagely tender brushes with death would fade soon enough - Elia wasn't foolish to the game. She had played it once before and it had failed to kill her and it would fail again and she would watch Obella thrive in an environment suited to her unique gifts. Elia would twist and contort in her beautiful shadows watching sunlight slip from her eyes to be the shadow and the elder sister who by no choice of her own was sword. shield, fangs, teeth and the pit viper coiled and ready to strike still full of poison. She was a result but Elia had learned to embrace it - to conceal it in a face that could launch ships and destroy weaker beings with a smile and wink.

Cracking a neck, the woman who had once been called the sun herself and still was the heavenly body breathed in deeply. Let her at another field of battle, at a worthy challenge to spend pent up energy- something to feel alive. She had scars. Her own beautiful marks for how many times death had failed to catch her. They never seemed to mar her figure and maybe even the god of death marveled at how she wore them. Flipping  a knife in the air briefly before leaning back against a fence in the training yard - Elia questioned the Targaryens ability to protect her, Obella, that was. Dragons were dragons but even dragons could be killed - the sun always burned. "What a honeymoon for my sister, marry a dragon and plunge headfirst into a war. No better time to train while enemies lick their wounds. They aren't going to stay idle long themselves" the Martell sun breathed. One more fluid flip of her blade and Elia landed it firmly in the head of a dummy.
