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.

❪ biography ❫

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 !!!

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.

♔ →  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.

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.

     ♔  →  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.

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
