BASICS.
Name: Arianne Martell Nicknames: Ari Age: Thirty-one Loyalty: The Martells. MBTI: nnnn
FAMILY.
Father - Doran Martell
Mother - Mellario Martell (estranged)
Brother - Quentyn Martell
Brother - Trystane Martell
Uncle - Oberyn Martell
Aunt - Elia Martell
Cousin - Obara Sand
Cousin - Nymeria Sand
Cousin - Tyene Sand
Cousin - Sarella Sand
Cousin - Rhaenys Targaryen
Cousin - Aegon Targaryen
BACKGROUND.
Please note that this is subject to change once Arianne’s immediate family come into play.
Mellario and Doran Martell’s relationship never lacked passion, but that did not make it a happy union. From a young age, Arianne bore witness to the fights between the two; vicious, loud and fiery, a result of two huge egos and nasty tempers locked in a clash over just about everything.
When the divorce was finalised, it should have been a relief to everyone. However, for Arianne, it was her worst nightmare come true. She had always been far closer to her mother than she had to her father, and so it was with tears in her eyes that she received the news that her father had custody of all three children. Visits with her mother dwindled, becoming more of a rare occurrence as time went by, before eventually coming to a stop all together. To this day, contact between mother and daughter is still rare.
Despite this, Arianne does not blame her mother for what happened. No, in her eyes, the fault lies squarely with Doran. If he had not pushed Mellario away, if he had not insisted on keeping the children with him, Arianne would not have lost her mother. It was the start of a contemptuous relationship between the two, leading to a distrust that has only grown over time.
Growing up, Arianne spent most of her time with her closest friends, Andrey Dalt, Garin and Sylva Santagar. All around the same age, they formed a tight friendship group, and Arianne considers them to be as much her family as any Martell. In fact, she probably trusts them more than most of the Martells, especially her father and brothers.
As a child, Arianne was nothing to look at. Plain and pudgy, she was always incredibly self-conscious about the way that she looked. As she grew older, however, Arianne blossomed- and she knew it. As her beauty grew more pronounced, so did her confidence. There was no doubt in her mind that she was gorgeous, and she has never been shy about using her looks to get what she wants.
An incredibly vain creature, Arianne’s primary focus is herself. She cares about the Martell family, but only if she is at the helm of it. Unfortunately, her distrust of her father has led her to be very suspicious, to the point of paranoid. She is highly anticipating a sort of coup to oust her from the family and put one of her brothers in his place, and she suspects Doran to be actively working against her. As a result, she’s making moves of her own, trying to gather enough support so that this doesn’t happen. As well as gathering loyalty within the Martell family (she probably has her eye on her cousins and Uncle Oberyn for this!), she’s looking to outside alliances for help when the time comes. Within the Martell organisation, she has a group of her childhood friends (WCs I’ve sent to the main for Andrey Dalt, Garin and Sylva Santagar!) who she heavily relies on to help her with this. Despite her scheming nature, Arianne can be a little heavy handed. She’s not as smart as she thinks she is, and entirely overestimates herself in this.
One thing that goes against Arianne is, despite her attempts to position herself as a force to be reckoned with, she doesn’t take anything too seriously, and lives an incredibly hedonistic lifestyle. Somewhat of a party girl, she’s always the last one to leave the dance floor, and while this does serve its purpose, her pleasure-seeking tendencies can get in the way of achieving her goals. Her particular weakness is men, and she loves a bad boy with a pretty face.
Arianne came to King’s Landing after college, where she studied business and culinary arts, and officially manages a number of the Martell family restaurants. This is something she picks up and drops on a whim, and will probably be down to her business partner (see WCs!) to actually ensure things run smoothly.
CURRENT CONNECTIONS.
TBC
WANTED CONNECTIONS.
Former and current lovers - Watching her father and mother fight as a child left a lasting impact on Arianne, and as a result, she is absolutely against any form of committed, serious relationship. However, she does enjoy sex, and isn’t too picky and who she does sleep with. Whilst she is a commitmentphobe, Arianne is possessive and jealous, and wouldn’t take kindly to her sexual partners starting relationships with others without her express permission.
Business Partner - probably someone within the Martell family, whilst Arianne is, on paper, running the show when it comes to the restaurants, this character is probably far more efficient when it comes to actually managing things.
Estranged Childhood Friends - Somebody Arianne knew as a young child, who she has not seen for years. and may be surprised by the change in her.
Allies - people from other families, who Arianne has been forging alliances with for when the time comes for her to fight for her place in the family.

born alys karstark. daughter of rickard karstark & alara Karstark.
alys’s childhood was spent amongst her parents & brothers; harrion ( harry ), torrhen ( torr ) & eddard ( edd ). the four got along for the most part. they had their squabbles just like other siblings had, but they always remained close.
despite being the only daughter amongst sons; alys wasn’t spoiled. her mother made sure to teach her how to be a proper lady but her brothers made sure she was well equipped with a sword.
she had always felt last compared to her brothers when it came to her father. the feeling still very much there to this day.
alys didn’t like the idea of her father marrying her off to some lord; the list of suitors was a long one; however it was all for pride and power, something her father sought for.
when she received the news of her brothers ( torrhen & eddard ) deaths, it crushed alys even more than the news of her fathers treason & execution.
with only one brother alive but held captive, alys will try everything in her power to get him back and to restore their ties & loyalties to house stark.
more to come soon !!!

♔ → westeros presents ASHARA DAYNE, the LADY OF STARFALL. a raven sent word that she bear(s) the resemblance to ANA DE ARMAS. the THIRTY year old FEMALE was CHARMING & CONFIDENT before the dawn of war, but have now become SUSCEPTIVE & OBSTINATE. when songs are sung, their verses speak of NARROW SEA OBSERVED THROUGH SPARKLING VIOLET EYES THAT KEEP ACIDIC MEMORIES ; DRESS MADE OF PURPURE FABRICS FLYING WITH THE GENTLE BREEZE OF THE SEA ; CHARMING AND CAPTIVATING GRIM LIGHTING UP OLIVE SKIN. whispers throughout the seven kingdoms claim that their allegiance lies with HOUSE TARGARYEN, but fealty means little when you play the game of thrones. ( nia, eighteen, gmt+1, she/her. )
hi everyone ! i’m nia and i’m excited to start writing ashara because i love her with all my heart. under the read more i’ll leave her canons and plot points, but i would be more than disposed to plot with you all, so if you have any ideas don’t hesitate to throw them to me ! i don’t have any wanted connections listed but we can work on planning fresh ideas for our characters. you are more than welcomed to like this post so we can brainstorm or come to my messages. ♡
𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐧𝐬.
lady ashara dayne, owner of those characteristic violet eyes that could remind you of a targaryen. but nothing further than that, she belongs to house dayne of starfall and everyone in westeros probably knows that her brother is ser arthur dayne, sword of the morning and noble knight.
she was invited to the harrenhall tourney where she didn’t go unnoticed due to her undeniable beauty, although she had been lady-in-waiting to princess elia martell, but that was not what differentiate her from the rest. an aura of elegance surrounded her, her voice was like honey and her look seemed too captivating to look away.
after holding an argument with a man she believed was the most handsome and kind she had ever met, she managed to escape his claws that were to close to her body without consent. while running her eyes brimmed with tears, only being able to think about the disgusting experience that she would remember all her life. and she refused to let the images invade her mind everytime she shut her eyes, blackness feeling like an old enemy ready to torment her.
pastimes were the only true salvation, walking by the sea, standing onto the cliffs of the starfall territory, it felt like heaven. in this years she had time to think and explore places of westeros, gaining more independence and confidence by soaking up of fresh experiences. the old ashara turned into a strong woman that had seen many things.
people can be lots of things at the same time, everyone is way too complex to even try to describe a single personality. but speaking of basic traits, ashara can be described as osbtintate, passionate, confident, charming and susceptive.
𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐭 𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐬.
i would like to explore her distrustful facet towards others intentions, along with the upcoming threat it’s likely to be surroundend by people she hasn’t met yet, and those who pledge allegiance to enemy houses too. so it can be interesting to write how she manages her feelings and thoughts confronting this situation, if she would just be reluctant or if she ends to trust someone stated as impossible.
in the past she’d have been likely to lose calm immediately when hearing about the night king. but now she has become more confident although her real feelings are imprisoned inside, unable to show to the world. i want to see how she’d react under a lot of pressure and obstacles because she is not really used to deal with such great problems and, i believe it could mean to destabilize ( also reveal ) her emotions.
she doesn’t believe in marriage to be a proper lady, so she is quite opposed to the idea of pledge marriages ( generally to the general idea of it even though if it’s not mandatory ). so, if she was forced to marry someone it’d be interesting to write her trying to refuse the idea.

hello, hello, hello my friends ! my name is hannah. i’m 22, from the est, and i’m currently enrolled in school. i have a fairly simple schedule this semester and will be on as often as i can and i’d like to classify myself as pretty active. my baby, alyra mooton, has a ton of information about her under the cut — for both herself and house mooton. in an attempt to make sure this post isn’t a thousand miles long, you can find a timeline for alyra’s life here, all of her stats here, and all of her connections ( wanted and taken ! ) here. like this post and i’ll come at you for plots !
♔ → westeros presents alyra mooton, the lady of maidenpool and advisor to the king in the north. a raven sent word that she bears the resemblance to hailee steinfeld. the twenty five year old cis female was tactful & intuitive before the dawn of war, but have now become opinionated & unyielding. when songs are sung, their verses speak of bones scattered ��around a chalk stained witching table adorned with greenery too far north, soft hands made callous by impatience and desperation, and feverishly quick quills across pages, droplets of ink scattered across notes of past readings. whispers throughout the seven kingdoms claim that their allegiance lies with house stark, but fealty means little when you play the game of thrones. ( hannah, 22, est, she/her. )
BIOGRAPHY
long before house mooton became a vassal to the tullys, in the time before the andal invasion, there was a heart tree that the first men protected. the original mootons worshipped the old gods of the forest, the mooton sisters still do. when the andals invaded, the first men stood their ground as best they could, hiding away their stories under floorboards and in the hearts of their children, praying they would be passed down. the old gods of the forest heard their prayers, the old gods of the forest made sure their stories were told.
when the andals brought the light of the seven with them, house mooton found what similarities they could. they promised the children they would protect the tree in the center of their household and the children gave them a gift in exchange. they approached the lady mooton who was newly pregnant and placed their hands on her stomach, promising her prosperity, foresight, and good fortune. the children kept their promise and so did the mootons. the daughters born from this promise millennia ago came in a set of three, each utilizing a different aspect of foresight. every few hundred years, three little girls come again. and again. and again. as long as they are needed, they will come.
the mooton sisters, regardless of which three you speak of over the course of the last few thousand years, always come in the same three order and always pay the same three prices. the oldest will have dreams, vivid and hard to control but once harnessed an irreplaceable tool. all gifts come at a cost and this gift is steep and takes what it gives: sight. consider the silver lining. a lack of clarity in this world gives you the advantage of seeing the world beyond and all that it could be.
the middle of the sisters uses bones and fire, a risk every time she reached in her hand to the fire. wait too long and the bones crumple to ash, not enough and a false reading comes ��through. all gifts come at a cost and this gift balances on a moral scale: how many times are you willing to put an end to one thing’s life to learn more about a future that isn’t guaranteed ?
the youngest uses cards — decorative, artistic, beautiful — just like her. the cards, with enough good intention and energy, could help her bring truths to light. but asking the right question isn’t always easy. all gifts come at a cost and this gift requires wisdom that must be honed over years. even an experienced seer may misinterpret that which she does not understand.
each of the daughters also corresponds with one of the three faces of the seven that typically have feminine characteristics. though they do not follow the faith, they make appearances as though they do so they may blend in with other houses who do not embrace the old ways, especially in the riverlands. the oldest represents the crone, the middle represents the mother, and the youngest represents the maiden.
her childhood was one of confusing, vivid dreams and intuition too sharp for a small child. she was too keen, too curious, too wild, and then the birth of her little sister came and things started to make more sense. these are the next three, the children once more keeping their promise. gods save the king.
alyra has a memory, from when she was a little girl, that told her to scatter the bones on the ground. not to clutch on to what she knew but to scatter them against the wind, to have faith in what they would say. in the beginning she wanted everything to have a meaning, for everything to be structured, and to have a clear, individual voice. but they are bones and for all their rigidity, they were fluid in meaning. every time, they might change their tune or stop speaking completely. alyra learned early on that she needed to find her own way of listening, one of those methods was fire. her proclivity for fire is inherently different from a red priestess. she did not see the lord of light in the flames or understand his message or hear his voice. instead, fire was the conduit for the bones and the noises the bones make as they burn in the fire is as important as the bones when they’ve been pulled from the fire.
she was twenty when the red wedding happened and in her readings, no matter the question, find robb stark was the answer. she ignored the bones as much as she could because she was scared. her elder sister told alyra that she must find robb stark before lions sleep in a garden of roses. some meanings were thinly veiled. these were not. it was when alyra’s younger sister, all of sixteen, demands that she go that alyra finally accepted. weeks of ignoring the bones and time further spent traveling and she wondered what might happen when she finally crossed paths with the northern army. a young woman alone on horseback was not the cavalry that they needed but the mootons were loyal to house stark and had declared for them long before she had finally decided to ride out. the bones led her to the camp, the first example of her gifts.
let stannis have his red priestess. the children of the forest have sent their gift.
OTHER COOL THINGS I PUT IN MY APP BUT DON’T HAVE A PLACE ABOVE:
while i didn’t make a playlist, these are a couple of the songs that i listened to while creating alyra and her family. they’re not necessarily songs that she would listen to or enjoy, they have significantly influenced the build of her character and the way that i can understand her.
this city → sam fischer
the line that struck me the most: I remember mornings when my head didn't hurt / And I remember nights when art didn't feel like work why it makes an impact: alyra was fresh to war when she joined the northern army. she knew the stories of victors and the way they spoke of the battles but they were so romanticized for her. they didn’t tell her of the carnage, of the blood stains that would never come out, of the way she’d see it all at night. though not desensitized to it entirely now, alyra has found her ways to cope. sometimes when she does too many readings in a row, when she’s desperate for answers that she’s not ready for, she might wake up with flu-like symptoms; aches in her bones, a quiet, thrumming pain in her head, and a grip on her heart that doesn’t relax.
this feeling → the chainsmokers ft kelsi ballerini
the line that struck me the most: i’ll tell you a story before it tells itself and they tell me think with my head, not that thing in my chest why it makes an impact: when alyra is questioned, because there are certainly people who have accused her being a witch and i’m sure once in a while those accusations still fly, she has the same measured response, “i am of the land, the land is of me, and i can tell you what i see.” it has a similar energy to “i’ll tell you a story before it tells itself” and while some people might call her a hopeful child, she is confident in what she does and says. they tell her to think with her heart but they don’t know that cuts her off from her gift more than anything. she learned from a young age that overthinking the bones is the worst mistake she can make. her open heart is sensitive, but she is steadfast in her beliefs. gods save the people who try to convince her otherwise.

ooc;
hi I’m cat! 24, CST, she/her pronouns. I’ve been rping honestly forever but just got back into it after a two year hiatus. I enjoy writing, sewing, reading, and running, and most importantly COFFEE. I’m excited to write with and get to know all of you!
about the muse;
as it has been a few years into this war, Meera, once upbeat and cheerful, has hardened a bit. She is a fierce warrior and incredibly protective of Jojen especially, but also anyone else she cares for. She is a good diplomat and has a way with words, but as the years grow longer, she is beginning to lose sight of peace, and almost believes that the sword is mightier than any treaty. Meera is beginning a struggle with who she was vs who she is destined to become and sort of has lost sight of what the future entails. At this point all she knows is war and can’t imagine the aftermath (if they win).
[ full bio coming soon ]
little tidbits;
Meera enjoys singing and is quite talented at it. She used to be more up for it in the presence of others, but now will rarely hum a tune.
She always thought how different things would be if she were raised to be a more proper lady. One who wears fine dresses and curtsies and dances well. At times she is envious of these women, but she is proud of her upbringing and family and would never admit this ever fleeting thought that crosses her mind time to time.
There is definitely a softer side she tries to hide, and does well at. She admires her father greatly and has always wanted to be just like him - brave and strong.
wanted connections;
a lady friend - someone who is everything Meera imagined in a lady, who sees past Meera’s rough exterior and doesn’t make her feel silly for asking questions like what in the world is to be served with tea.
a sparring partner - Meera has always been skilled at hunting and fishing, but she has had to improve her swordsmanship over the years, this particular person could be her teacher and possibly a confidante if she is ever doubtful of herself.
a former fling or love - she has always set her sights on her family and winning the war, perhaps along the way this person gave her some semblance of peace and distraction and feelings developed (either on both sides or one) and they could be in and out of her life because of duties or she is trying to push them away to avoid any more potential hurt and loss.
a childhood friend - someone she would’ve have ran into or that her family would be diplomatic with that she always kept in touch with. Even if mainly through letter writing until they finally saw each other again face to face.
an enemy - someone who takes advantage of the bits of kindness still within Meera, the side of her that will cast doubt on herself and the judgement she makes on another and possibly tries to get valuable information from her. Or simply someone who doesn’t believe Meera should have a voice in war matters because of where she comes from.
newfound acquaintance - a person who has only recently met Meera and really only knows the newer side of her, which she can appreciate because there is no comparison to her personality from before the war. This person helps to ground her in this new world and makes her believe that she hasn’t become a complete stranger to herself.
ultimate goals;
My vision for Meera is to see her become more comfortable and confidant in this new world and to perhaps rise to taking on a more distinguished role in it as well. To take pieces of the old her and new her and create an entirely new puzzle to put together rather than forcing mismatched pieces. These things can happen through friendship, losses, love, potential marriage, epiphanies, and so many more ways. There’s definitely a lot of personal and familial challenges she needs to approach in order to grow and it will be interesting and fun to see the people who help her, or hold her back, along the way.

♔ → westeros presents LEONETTE FOSSOWAY, the LADY of HOUSE TYRELL of BRIGHTWATER KEEP. a raven sent word that she bears the resemblance to LILY JAMES. the TWENTY FIVE year old CIS FEMALE was JOYFUL & NURTURING before the dawn of war, but have now become OVER-PROTECTIVE & MATERIALISTIC. when songs are sung, their verses speak of JUICY RED APPLES IN BASKETS, PALE SILKS OVER PORCELAIN SKIN, THE SOOTHING MELODY OF A HIGH HARP. whispers throughout the seven kingdoms claim that their allegiance lies with HOUSE LANNISTER, but fealty means little when you play the game of thrones. ( lotto, 25, gmt, she/her. )
BASIC
name: leonette fossoway nickname(s): nettie house: tyrell marital status: married age: 25 title: lady tyrell, lady of brightwater keep sexual + romantic orientation: heterosexual occupation / vocation: lady birth place: cider hall religion: faith of the seven
RELATIONS
apparent allegiance: house lannister true allegiance: house tyrell spouse: garlan tyrell children: eleyna tyrell ( 4 yr old. ) father: garth fossoway mother: elinor florent siblings: tbc
EXTERNAL
hair colour: honey blonde eye color: light brown height: 5'6 weight: 120 lbs prominent features: bright eyes, wide smile. physical flaws: none physical qualities: slender, pear-shaped
HEADCANONS
Milk and honey, that’s how people would describe Lady Leonette. From the moment she was born, the lady practiced perfection in all aspects of her life. Always duty bound to her family, she often did their bidding without argument and with all the grace expected of a Southron Lady. Of all of Garth Fossoway and Elinor Florent’s children, Leonette was the sweetest. As a little girl she appeared quiet, delicate, but when spoken to she glowed like a butterfly unfurling it’s bright wings. She knew when to speak and when to stay silent, she was the epitome of quiet obedience. Her sisters were wild, challenging, and she was the soft flower amidst all the chaos. While her sisters squabbled, she would sit playing the high-harp or embroidering apples into panels of her gowns.
When she turned seven, Leonette was chosen to join Margaery Tyrell’s retinue of ladies maids. It was a proud day for Garth, who knew all too well that House Fossoway was not revered or influential enough for his own lofty aspirations. Leonette went willingly to Highgarden, at the behest of her family. It suited her well and she enjoyed spending time with Margaery and her ladies far more than she did her own sisters - whom she had considered to be a headache on most days.
For many years she knew Garlan, and for most of it, she was simply Margaery’s handmaiden. Leonette could not pinpoint the exact moment when that all changed, but one day she started looking at him differently. Her mother had already begun sending her letters about her future, claiming that her father was starting to receive interest from other Lords, all of whom wished to claim her. She feared that her interest for Garlan was not reciprocated, but was soon proven wrong. They were married not long after.
Having a daughter gave her tremendous joy, although she’s had a gnawing fear ever since. As a woman, she is expected to give her husband many sons and from her own family, she has only ever seen girls. Leonette is concerned that all future children which she has will be girls, and she very much wishes to give Garlan a son. It’s been four years since the birth of Eleyna, and she’s still waiting for the gods to grant her a son.
Following the Fossoway and Florent families siding with Stannis Baratheon, and the fallout which ended in Garlan being granted Lordship over Brightwater Keep, she has been unable to see her parents. She knows that her husband has profited from her family’s downfall - but she cannot forgive their betrayal to their vassal house. Despite being wife to the now Lord of Brightwater Keep, Leonette has not yet moved or visited her future home. It’s guilt which keeps her away and she knows that it’s something which she’ll have to face, once the real threat has been diminished.

* short kings anthem plays, except his bills ain’t paid * hello friends ! since i no longer have ps because my computer done died ( rip ) we’re rolling with gifs. the tl;dr on ser shadrick is that firstly he willing goes by the moniker the mad mouse so that’s where we’re starting. he’s from a non noble family, but they had enough money to get by comfortably ( though they were not wealthy ) and had well enough standing with a landed knight to acquire their only son a position as a page at a young age. when war broke out, shadrick saw more possibility of making for a name for himself under a new king than with an existing regime, and joined the forces of stannis baratheon. however, after the loss at the battle of the blackwater, shadrich was captured and forced to pay ransom for his own life, leaving him financially ruined. since then he’s been working as a sellsword in order to survive, blames the baratheons for his ruin, and is currently employed by lord petyr baelish. it is in little finger’s company that he finds himself at the summit, however his loyalty lies with whomever can pay his debts.
♔ → westeros presents SHADRICH KREY, the KNIGHT of SHADY GLEN. a raven sent word that he bears the resemblance to RUIARI O’CONNOR. the TWENTY SEVEN year old CIS MALE was VALIANT & ASTUTE before the dawn of war, but have now become ARROGANT & SARDONIC. when songs are sung, their verses speak of DESPERATE BUT CAREFUL COUNTING OF COINS EARNED WITH SWEAT AND BLOOD ; HONOR IS FOR THOSE WHO DON’T KNOW HUNGER, COLD, OR BETRAYAL ; WEAR YOUR INJURIES AS YOUR ARMOR AND IT WILL NEVER BREAK, WEAR A CONFIDENCE THE WORLD DOES NOT THINK YOU DESERVE AND YOU SHALL SURVIVE. whispers throughout the seven kingdoms claim that their allegiance lies with THEMSELVES, but fealty means little when you play the game of thrones.
a document with further details on shadrick can be found here. it is for sure a wip but gives enough of the relevant information that i feel fine sharing it. as always beneath the cut can be found a few possible connection ideas !
former compatriots. shadrich spent almost half a decade fighting for stannis’s cause, and in that time he would have likely made friends within those forces. these could be people who are still fighting for stannis after the blackwater, leading to a rift between them, or they could be people like shadrich who have dropped the cause.
hired hand. while shadrich has been working for petyr baelish for roughly the past year, there were two years before that and after the blackwater in which shadrich worked various short term employment. this would be a character who had previously paid for shadrich’s assistance.
a better time. shadrich became a page at the age of eight, and often traveled with the knight he was in service of. shadrich saw a good portion of the world, at least for someone of such a young age. he was then a squire from age thirteen until he was knighted for valor in battle during the war. basically, it would be possible for people ( within a reasonable distance ) to have met a younger, more hopeful shadrick krey.
dishonorable rivalry. i don’t have all the details on the reason why, but i think having a rivalry between combatants ( and not in a friendly competition way ) could be super interesting! shadrich is no longer a truly honorable man, and would be willing to fight dirty. he canonically has a scar under his left ear, so perhaps this character could be the one who gave it to him.
a previous interlude. shadrich is quite confident in himself, and likes to figure himself quite the ladies man. while this isn’t always the case, there are moments in which he can be charming, or at least available. this would be a character with whom he had a previous romantic / sexual interaction with, however the details really depends on who that character is.

♔ → westeros presents MYRCELLA BARATHEON, the PRINCESS of THE SEVEN KINGDOMS. a raven sent word that she bears the resemblance to ELLE FANNING. the TWENTY - THREE year old FEMALE was INNOCENT & OPTIMISTIC before the dawn of war, but have now become MISTRUSTING & UNCERTAIN. when songs are sung, their verses speak of SOFT GOLDEN CURLS HUNG LOOSE OVER SHOULDERS, SHIMMERING IN LATE AFTERNOON SUN, DRESSES OF PINK SILK ON A SLENDER FRAME, SWIRLING AS SHE DANCED ALONE IN THE GARDENS, and A MOMENT OF SILENCE, ALONE IN A CORNER, PRETTY FACE HIDING THE CALCULATION UNDERNEATH. whispers throughout the seven kingdoms claim that their allegiance lies with HOUSE LANNISTER / THEMSELVES, but fealty means little when you play the game of thrones.
it’s time for an intros kids. i really went into this like, ‘i won’t make it that long!’ and it was a lie. i’m not surprised by myself, but i am disappointed that i’m like that.
basics
name: myrcella baratheon (or would that be lannister?) title: princess of the seven kingdoms age: twenty three loyalty: house lannister, herself appearance: golden blonde curls, green eyes, fair skin. scar on her cheek.
cersei lannister and jaime lannister robert baratheon’s only daughter, sister to tommen and joffrey baratheon, princess of the seven kingdoms. sent to live in dorne by her uncle tyrion for her safety as a child, she spent her youth betrothed to the young prince trystane. however, when dorne declared for daenerys targaryen, myrcella’s life became endangered, and her father uncle jaime travelled south to bring her home. together they managed to flee dorne, and travelled north to return to the capital.
in many ways, dorne sheltered her from the horrors of war ; even her brother tommen has seen more than she. she was safe, and it allowed her the chance to live an almost normal life. the martells were good to her, and she came to care for trystane, and did not resent their betrothal. perhaps she even loved him in a way, though myrcella is not entirely sure. was it love, or was it merely a friendship tainted by the knowledge that they were to be man and wife?
in dorne she received the finest education they could offer, and she was a diligent student, always ready to work hard. myrcella studied language, poetry, politics, and yes, even the strategies of war, for the dornish did not have the same rules as their northern counterparts. indeed, they even allowed her some minor weapons training, though myrcella never took to it very well. she had not the heart to cause others pain, even in practice.
she was a kind young woman, who believed the world could be kind also, and yet now that war has reached her, myrcella’s beliefs have been shaken. she and her uncle did not escape the southern peninsula unscathed ; she bears a scar on her cheek from a dornish guard, and in her own defence was forced to take his life. now she doubts herself - she has always been the kind, gentle princess who would never harm even the smallest of creatures, so what is she now? she has felt a man’s life-blood spill on her hands, and for all that myrcella does not want that to change her, it feels inevitable.
and then of course, there is the question of ser jaime lannister. as a child he was her beloved uncle ; now, she is not sure what to call him. even in dorne she heard the rumours, and though she wished to deny them, myrcella found herself wondering. she bore no resemblance to king robert - she was her mother’s miniature, green-eyed and golden haired and beautiful. and so it is only natural she must bear a resemblance to her mother’s twin also, is it not?
in truth she hardly remembers the old king now, it has been so many years since his death, and she is ashamed. he raised her, believed she was his daughter - she remembers his kindness and his temper both. king robert yelled at joffrey, at her mother, but never at his beloved princess. still, she knows her parents did not have a happy marriage, and that her mother loves jaime better than almost anyone. now that she is no longer a child, it is not hard to believe the rumours are true. she will not dare admit it aloud, though, for myrcella knows the power that lies in being an heir to the iron throne. she does not have the luxury of admitting the truth when it very well may get her killed.
now that she returns to the captial, myrcella cannot help but feel some trepidation. it has been over ten years since she’s seen her mother, and in that time, she has grown disillusioned with the queen. cersei always doted on her as a child, yet at the same time, cersei sometimes seemed to distance herself from her only daughter. perhaps it was because she knew, even when myrcella was just a babe, that one day she like all princesses before her, would have to leave her home and loved ones to wed a stranger. she believes her mother loves her - that can never be denied - but in their time apart, she has also come to realise that in part she and her brothers were ways for her mother to gain power.
a queen needs to create heirs, and it seems to myrcella cersei did anything she had to to provide them, even if that meant committing the worst sins with her own twin. she has also heard rumours of the things her mother has done, and while myrcella is loathe to believe them, it is difficult to deny that perhaps the loving mother she remembers was only one side of cersei lannister. she cannot pretend that her mother is perfect, and knowing what she does - that she and tommen have no true right to the throne, they are bastards, not even the children of a king - myrcella questions why this war must continue, when they are fighting for something that is not even theirs.
okay that’s about it. probably. it’s getting a bit long so i should stop. i did warn you. kinda. here are some wanted plots/ideas from my app but also...mostly we can just brainstorm, probably.
plot points
i’d love to play out myrcella’s relationship with her family members! cersei, jaime, tommen, tyrion, shireen!!!!, even margaery if you count her as family…i think that would be so interesting!
i’d be super interested in seeing myrcella play a part with the war at large - though she’s not a fighter, she definitely could be more into the political/strategic side of things, as she’s obviously had a strong education and is highly intelligent, and is capable of seeing things from her own perspective.
i’d also like to look into how myrcella feels about house lannister and this war - i think she’s got a lot of doubts, and is beginning to wonder if they are even right to be fighting it. i think that, while she’s loyal to her family, she’s not necessarily loyal to fighting and dying over the iron throne. myrcella doesn’t want to die for a crown, she wants to live her own life, and when push comes to shove, she may be forced to choose herself over her mother’s ambitions.
obvs also myrcella is a princess, and in this world that means that her potential marriages are important, so it could be fun to play around with that, and how she could use that to her advantage
