too many ideas, too lazy to write ✨ ↳ josana lannister, a dance of lions 🦁

A Lannister always pays his debts. 

A phrase commonly associated with the prideful and ambitious House Lannister of Casterly Rock.; their word was as good as gold. If one were to help a Lannister by any means necessary, then they’d be rewarded sufficiently in repayment. At least, this is what Josana Lannister had grown up hearing, and with a guardian such as Tywin Lannister, she had seen it play out many times.

Born as the second child and only daughter of Jafford Lannister and Laissa Bellard, the young girl with a cunning tongue and a sharp mind to match grew up under the protection of her lord uncle. Many suspected the great lion of the rock favored his niece due to her name resembling his late wife, but Tywin would never admit to such false speculation. No, Josana was more than a dead ringer for his dear wife. She was his prodigy. A child crafted by his years of expertise to follow and obey his every command until she became a true lioness of the South.

Upon the tragic news of Jon Arryn’s death, an opportunity presented itself to Tywin on a silver platter. King Robert Baratheon was in need of a Royal Hand, and there was only one eligible member to acquire the position: the Lord of Winterfell, Eddard Stark. Tywin seized the chance to claim the North by betrothing his niece to Ned’s eldest son, Robb Stark. 

Josana Lannister was many things, but a coward was not one of them. She accepted the betrothal through gritted teeth and veiled reluctance, but nonetheless went through with it. She would listen to the plans made by the Northern men, soothe the worries of women whilst hearing their gossip, and she would do it all with a gentle smile and wicked eyes. For Josana may play the role of the dutiful fiancé, but the ravens sent back to Casterly Rock with the secrets of the Starks said differently.

The lioness was alone in the North, yet refused to tremble under the presence of wolves.
