𝑻𝑳𝑫𝑹 . miscarriage tw , murder tw ( i try to make it p vague but i will indicate ! ) , death tw , blood tw !

the first brutality is one she can't remember ; a killing she has no memory of . but her father mourns the loss anyways , of the son he was meant to have . of the son that he claims the daughter ate in the womb ; an other half that she absorbed to make herself whole . the midwives say that her father looked upon her with a great pain that night .

they also say that it was perhaps the first time their mother looked upon her with a beam of pride .

after all , that was their first duel . their first victory . ( the one who lives wins . the one who lives wins . )

there would be others .

as they grew they were weaned on hate . on resentment . their grudge was their family heirloom and their mother passed it down onto them with firm hands and even firmer eyes . you will tend to it now . it will be your responsibility .

she never asked if ynys wanted such a responsibility . ynys , in truth , never thought to ask themself the question either .

the burden wasn't heavy if you were strong enough to withstand it .

ynys prided themself on being strong enough .

a sword was thrust into their hands the moment they could hold it . their lessons in battle started before their lessons in reading or arithmetic . grow strong . avenge our line . bloodroyal . bloodroyal .

in truth it was something that ynys cared very little for . after all , what did history have to do with them ? what did grudges of those long dead have to do with them ? it was them they should live for . them they should die for . what did all else matter ?

and yet they had talent . strength one could grow , technique one could learn , but they had talent . it was something that came to one naturally . something that was either bestowed upon you or wasn't . and ynys had it in spades . she could lay grown men flat before she had even reached their shoulders . she defeated her father in battle before her thirteenth nameday . she was gifted , and she was a gift . to her bloodline . to the yronwood name .

and yet they were loud about their lack of investment in their family's grudge . in truth , ynys was loud about a great many things . they saw little purpose in hiding the way they felt . their instructors quite quickly deduced that while ynys would be a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield , they'd be of little use in politics . ynys is a blunt instrument . they once overheard their swordmaster say to their mother , in a slicing critique . pure unadulterated force . if only it were directed .

later that evening at her mother's command ynys defeated him , and he was disregarded before she thought to ask what he meant by the words . but it was no matter . she went through weapon tutors quite quickly then , and truly how much value could there be in the words of a man so easily defeated ?

attempted murder tw ! murder tw ! she reached her hundredth victory on the night before her thirteenth nameday . it came not in the form of a spar , or a battle in the womb but in an attempt on her life . ynys was woken up out of her bed with it , the coolness of a blade at her throat and the roughness of a calloused palm tight over her mouth . they would like to say that they don't remember the battle that ensued but to say such would be a lie . ynys did not lie .

by the time the guards came the man was slain . by the time that they had discerned that the assassin was sent by the martells her mother had congratulated her on her victory . and that was the first time ynys was able to see it herself , through the one eye that wasn't blurred from the blood spilled from her brow ; the beam of her mother's smile , lit with pride .

she was a victor . that was what mattered . the one who lives wins .

even with her triumph , the event incited ynys . she had yet to even make a transgression against the martells and yet they wanted her dead . such an act could not go unmatched , and ynys vowed not to allow it to . she understood her mother now . whether the fight was hers or not she had inherited it and if others wished to face her in this battle she would not back down from the fight . she would even the score . and they vowed that they would come out triumphant once again .

from then on they drank they poison their mother delivered to their door . the martells , the daynes , the fowlers . all would fall as they rise , for they were the firstmen , after all . they were usurped , after all . they deserved to reclaim what was taken from them , and ynys would tear it from the hands of those who had the nerve to steal it .

ynys' hunger grew with time . after their hundredth victory their line of disregarded tutors only grew . their defeats of their father grew into the double digits . they defeated their mother for the first time as they turned fourteen , and the thrill of such a triumph was a high that couldn't be compared .

so the hunger grew as they did . and yet with their age came more responsibilities . expectations of duty , of marriage , of a knowledge of politics and history . and yet their hunger grew still . what need did they have for such things ? they were the yronwood's sword . the warden's club . their mother said it . ynys , you are our blade . it was said with pride the day they had defeated her . what need did blades have for balls ? ynys disregarded them . she disregarded them and she searched for more .

it was from the knights of the boneway that she first heard of the rings . the men would place bets on the fighters within them and yet they wouldn't enter them themselves . cowards . ynys was perhaps many things , but a coward wasn't one of them . she entered her own name the very same night , among snickers at the sight of a child . of someone's daughter .

ynys knew they were much more than someone's daughter .

that first night she returned bruised and sated , her pockets heavier for it . the second night she slipped away she returned with a new weapon taken as a token of victory . and the third time she slipped away her ears were still ringing from the roars of the crowd as she walked through the halls of boneway .

it only took the first time for ynys to find herself addicted . she returned time and time again , tackled opponent after opponent . and she won . again and again she won . and the crowd applauded her for it . they roared for her . the warden . bloodhammer . ynys the undefeated . it was the same feeling as her mother's beam of pride . she was a victor . they loved her and she was deserving of it . her streak of wins was satisfying enough , but the spectacle of it all fed ynys anew .

of course rumours swirled of her involvement . ynys dismissed them . her father was unhappy with her , but her mother was indifferent . her only comment : if you lose you will be unallowed to return .

ynys did not know how her mother planned to bar her from returning . she supposes she never will .

after all , ynys did not lose .

𝑴𝑰𝑺𝑪 .

honestly this is just me treating myself to a toph bei fong dupe as a treat i won't lie to you ... me gifting myself a bhm present fr fr sdkjds however , ok . y'all know that tiktok sound that's like 'mofos think i'm fighting to save the day but really i just like to fight' ,,, ya . ynys in a nutshell actually . loves a good fight , lives for it truly , the battlefield is their superbowl and yk what , we support them for it . they're a v simple person honestly , they see someone who looks formidable and they will in fact challenge them to a duel on the spot actually . incredibly , incredibly competitive i fear and loves to prove their strength . truly , does not care for much else like politics ? they don't give a fuck . truly she's only on the velaryon side bc of the old family grudge against the martells , like she's here to make good on that fr . also , speaking of , did her mother send an assassin to kill her and frame the martells for it just so she could get ynys on board with the family grudge ? ya ,,, ya she did , and yk what i feel like that should tell you enough about that woman actually . and yet ynys actually like respects her mother quite a bit so even when she heard whispers of such a thing i don't think she would believe it even if her gut tells her otherwise yk . got a scar through her eyebrow from the encounter tho and probably others tbh , they've probably reached who knows how many wins in battle by now , i don't but they're probably still counting honestly . very instinctual , very intuitive , but that's all just to tell y'all that this bitch doesn't think dsssd no thoughts just action ! nothing but battle strategy up there truly ! and it has served them well thusfar but will it forever ? who knows . honestly , should not be in polite society fr , like ? 9 times out of 10 they give commonfolk real bad ... giving ulf in the last ep of season 2 fr fr , just at the dinner table wolfing down little birds ... rip . like not polished in the slightest and yk what we love that for her ? she thinks decorum and like double wording and such is all deeply stupid so quite the straight shooter truly and tends to get really pissed off when she gets less than that from anyone else . uses dual swords bc her fc does and yk what how fun . left the fighting pits an undefeated champion and is a bit of a legend there , will go to random fighting rings on days she's feeling kind of down just to wipe the floor with everyone and hear the crowd roar bc that'll improve her mood INSTANTLY .

( anya taylor-joy , twenty-six , ciswoman , she/her ) : ANNOUNCING !! princess helaena of house targaryen and hightower hailing from king’s landing and oldtown. they are known to be proud & resilient but also reckless & unserious across the realm. it is known that they are not fearful of the whispers of the harbinger’s return and they will fight for the realm if that should come.

BACKSTORY

helaena was born screaming into the night like a little changeling. her mother’s hard labor was followed by a harder birth which almost costed the queen her life. but alas the dragoness survived and so did her little dragon. as a second eldest princess with a sister and three brothers to secure the line of succession, helaena was granted the true freedom of a princess whose presence was hardly ever noted amidst the crowd of her mother’s offsprings.

like all targaryen children, she received an onyx colored egg, placed in her crib with the hope of a hatchling that would bond with the princess. but by the time the princess had passed five namedays, the egg remained a glistening black orb — cold and unalive. when they took the egg away, helaena screamed and fought as if they were robbing her off her birthright. it was inevitable that the young princess felt as if she were a fraud, a weakling of a targaryen. that changed when, at the age of six and ten, helaena came upon the riderless wild dragon, grey ghost, upon one misty morning. their bond was forged out of pure chance but their ancient blood sung for one another and they became inseparable since.

as the fifth child and second daughter with two more legitimate sisters to follow, helaena was unburdened by the watchful eyes of her lord father and lady mother. she had had her years of indulgence and exploration, alongside her like-spirited brother, vaegon. their adventures thrilled helaena and it was as if the feast would never end and the wine would never stop flowing.

but the fate was cruel. her eldest sister was granted permission to be one of their mother’s queensguard, and so the burden of the ‘eldest’ daughter fell upon the carefree young princess. and like everything she had ever done in life, helaena fought and resisted fiercely to great success as she remained unwed still after six and twenty namedays.

CHAPTER 1 & 2 RECAP

as the war bloomed forth between the crown and her cousins in driftmark, helaena, consumed by a sense of helplessness and naive hope, took a company of ten men and set forth for driftmark as a last attempt to appeal for peace and resolution.

however, her ship was captured by daemon greyjoy and her men were slaughtered. helaena was taken as a hostage, ready for the velaryons to send terms of negotiation with her mother, visenya.

fortunately, her sister, vaelora, sent lord emir hightower to retrieve her on her voyage from pyke to driftmark after they received a tip off from their cousin, rhaena blackwood.

as a reward to emir hightower for his valiant effort to rescue her and affirm the crown's resilience in the face of war as well as affirm their affections for each other, helaena proposed to emir hightower. their betrothal affectively sealed the alliance between house hightower and house targaryen.

taking advantage of house tyrell's neutrality and lady florence's open alliance with house velaryon, emir and helaena have been plotting to take the reach from their hands.

since she did not fight at the bloody carnage at green fork, she rode her dragon back and forth between the riverlands and king's landing to help aide the post-battle relief effort.

SIX MONTHS OF TEMPORARY CEASEFIRE

helaena spent the first three months actively helping out the relief effort after the devastation at green fork. taking advantage of her dragon, she sought out needed resources to feed the poor and help the wounded.

she and emir were wedded at the great sept after things had calmed down in a small, private ceremony. the funds for their wedding were used to further tend to the needy. this was a strategic move to quell the commonfolks' resentment toward the crowd, and endear the hightowers and the princess toward the smallfolks.

the last three months, helaena followed emir back to oldtown and assumed her new title as ruling lady of oldtown. she has spent her time accustoming to her lord husband's more traditional homeland, despite still causing trouble and avoiding the septons' daily lessons every now and then.

with the news of the harbinger and the faith of the eigth's open antagonism of the faith of the seven, helaena and emir have been resummoned to king's landing. even though she is green in her new position, she understands that as defender of the faith their house must champion the fight against this cult.

ANNOUNCING !! ser sylas massey of house massey hailing from stonedance. they are known to be resourceful , observant but also, sardonic , candid across the realm. it is known that they are indifferent of the whispers of the harbinger’s return and they will fight for the realm if that should come.

- filling sworn sword to daella blackwood wc

BASICS

NAME: sylas massey AGE: thirty-one. GENDER & PRONOUNS: cis man & he/him. ORIENTATION: pansexual, panromantic TITLE: ser knight, sworn guard to house targaryen / blackwood of dragonstone. LOYALTY: neutral / support is mainly to who he has been sworn to protect, which can be different to who his family supports.

BACKGROUND

PARENTS: former ruling lord triston, father & deceased, & former ruling lady allara massey, mother. SIBLINGS: 3 siblings ( 1 older, current ruling liege, & 2 younger) SPOUSE: tba. CHILDREN: Bastard (?) son, < 5 years old. not officially claimed. OTHERS: n/a CURRENT RESIDENCE: Stonedance of Massey's Hook, currently heading to King's Landing accompanying Daella LANGUAGES: common tongue, basic valyrian.

AESTHETICS / HEADCANONS

he’s the kind of guy who would fight monsters head on instead of running away from them , someone who's describe as being like a winter day : the kind of day when sunlight is short and the cold of the outside nips at your bone but is still a remarkable sight to see ; the sweetest taste coated on your tongue, he made a lover out of the devil, they say as he travelled learning ways to kill someone as it was an art. though he does it out of honor and for protection of a future he hopes is bright ; the family duty of centuries is everything when your elder sibling goes for title and you for the sword and it becomes your whole world ; fiercely loyal until trust is broken, admirable work ethic & discipline in training, a warrior by nature and until the bitter end well you hope to be an entry in the White Book aka Book of the Brothers. Proud to be a Massey and very formidable knight. prodigy like his father and everyone in his family legacy with a sword, that it seems as if he almost dance with it, but of course him being resourceful has spent a majority of his mastering all different types of weaponry he has read about in books and travelling in doing so before returning to do his duty. he was assigned to watch over Daella Blackwood for over a year and very much always by her side. sometimes is not there visible but he'll be in the shadows, watching and ready to jump at a moments notice to protect. when not watching over, you can find him at a tavern drinking and listening to what is going on around him, sometimes at the fighting pits to keep himself in fit condition. a quiet fellow who you might want to be careful and not push his buttons for your safety while he may be deadly with a sword even without them he knows how to handle himself.

BIOGRAPHY

It was said that his birth was very easy for his mother and while he wasn't a fussy child growing up, Sylas was born to be a fighter. While his parents did their best to not distinguish with their children, Sylas knew he was seen as the spare to his older sibling who would one day be ruling over their house. while he learned many things, the one subject he excelled at was sword mastery even over his older sibling. it was then his father knew what was to become of him. it became a familial traditional for someone in their house to always serve the Targaryen family as a guard. so Sylas's path was set and he spent many years squiring at King's Landing until 17 then began travelling all around Westeros, learning and mastering different weaponry to make himself a great knight before returning to his family home. at a point during his travels, he ended up fathering a son with someone he met and has yet to officially claim them as his child due to his knighthood and how important it is to him and his family. Sylas returned home and continued his training, while also teaching others sword mastery. a year into his return, his brother announced to him that he was to be sent to Dragonstone to watch over the Blackwood Targaryen branch's daughter Daella Blackwood. Sure many wondered what protection he could even provide with them having dragons but he went over and began his duty as her sworn guard. he's been by her side for over a year now. Cut to the present time, he is still there as a shadow protecting Daella since coming to King's Landing and and then over to Driftmark where her family was at. He is wary to things that have been happening with all these big battles happening and while he need to fight them in them is great, he has a duty to do and won't go unless its needed of him.

POST SIX MONTHS

Ser Sylas Massey has spent these past six months either by Daella Blackwood side as her sworn guard but then returned home to his family where they talked about things, such as their standings with the Targaryeans as well as his stance as a sworn knight (between month 2 & month 5). In the last month, Sylas has returned to where she is at, seeing she now is training something he is proud of and quick help continue her training as they prepare to return to King's Landing. Sylas is spending his time still training to be prepared and to jump to fight for the realm if the times calls for it. when it comes to the harbinger, he is kind of indifferent to them. When not training, is out there at the taverns drinking and gambling maybe fighting at the pits, who knows. also learned about his child under 5 he has father but hasn't officially claim since technically a knight.

( riz ahmed , thirty-seven, demi-man, he/they ) : ANNOUNCING !! prince symon of house martell hailing from sunspear. they are known to be persuasive & resourceful but also, nihilistic & hedonistic across the realm. it is known that they are not fearful of the whispers of the harbinger’s return and they will fight for the realm if that should come.

basic information.

full name: symon nymeros martell age: thirty-seven pronouns: he/they gender: demi-man sexuality: pansexual titles: prince of dorne birthplace: sunspear, dorne

appearance information.

height: 5'8 hair color: black eye color: dark brown body type: lean muscle, on the thin side distinguishing markings: small scar across his mouth & martell sun tattooed on his shoulder

family information.

parents: late prince and princess martell siblings: elia martell, obella martell, nymeria martell (younger sisters) & another younger sibling spouse: cassana martell nee baratheon children: anders martell (4), theodan martell (2) & meera martell (1)

background information.

you're the eldest child of the prince and princess of dorne. you're raised a prince and always told to make sure you know your worth. your family loves you and you're happy where you are. you're bored by politics even if you're good at them. even as a young child you know you wish to explore.

your sisters are born and they become the most important things to you. your parents tell you that your job is to protect them and you take it to heart. even as you all grow and they become able to protect themselves, you still want to make sure they're safe. this is one of the reasons you're here.

ruling always seems like more of a chore when you have to sit in lessons. when you sit with your parents as they make choices for dorne. it's supposed to be what you do, but to you it's all a moot point. everyone will do as they want on their own and their ruler will simply be in the way. someone for them to get angry at when things go wrong. even if it's their own fault. you have to grin and bear it.

leadership is in the blood of house martell and your younger sister shows more than you, she shows a better mind for politics and she shows a desire to rule. something you never had. when she's named heir in your place you think maybe you were supposed to be angry, feel slighted. you couldn't be happier for her and happy you're free. if she needs advice you'll be there, you're decent at politics but more than that you want her to succeed.

you're finally able to explore now that you're not set to rule dorne. westeros, essos and where ever you find yourself. it's happiness at it's fullest for you. you want to keep traveling but you make sure you're home often. your siblings are still your life and no matter how much they can protect themselves you still want to be there for them.

when war is announced you're there. house martell is expected to fight and as much as you don't care for the targaryen rule or velaryon rule your sister declares for house targaryen and marries one. so you'll fight for them until the battle is over and you're allowed to go home. the only royalty that matters to you is your family.

chapter three.

symon's time has been spent with his family, his wife and children have been most of his life. storm's end isn't the most comfortable place for him but he goes because it's his wives home.

sunspear has always been where he's most comfortable, and with his younger sister giving birth he's been doing his best to support her. even if she has a support system outside of him, he loves his siblings and his new family members.

while his priorities are with house martell and dorne. however he does have loyalty to the targaryen's through his brother-in-law.

he's not interested in the harbinger or anything about it. this has happened before and keeps happening throughout other realms. he's not afraid of the harbinger or the lingering war. he only wants his family safe.

more information.

symon fights with a spear.

finds the dragons incredibly interesting.

studies languages and can speak multiple

( devrim lingnau , twenty-five , female , she/her ) : ANNOUNCING !! lady meryem hightower of house hightower hailing from oldtown. they are known to be affable & benevolent but also, mealymouthed & phlegmatic across the realm. there are faint whispers that they support house targaryen alongside their house.

Bio:

Lady Meryem Hightower is her father’s second biological child. Though merely a half-sister to her elder brother Emir. Her mother is Lord Nickolas’ second wife, who became a widower following the death of his first.

The lord and his second lady wife had no further children, which strained their relationship over time. The “spare” that the lord had hoped for was rather a shy, reticent girl. The marriage would get so contentious that the lady of Oldtown would decide to leave her husband. Not in front of the Seven, of course, but she couldn’t take his presence any longer. As a result, when Meryem was only ten, her mother left Lord Nickolas and returned to her maiden home. She had hoped to take Meryem with her; her father did not love her that much, but in his fury and derision, Lord Hightower dispatched his men after his wife’s wheelhouse to retrieve the small child from her mother’s arms. He had his servants bring the word to his wife that it was his daughter. Meryem belonged to him solely.

Because of her early age, she was easily manipulated, and her father would tell her lies about her mother in order to ensure that Meryem never wanted to reunite with her. While never actually forming a true, close, loving relationship with her father, the girl would still listen to him and do as she was told. She was obedient during her lessons and kept a respectful social behaviour, though she would rarely ever travel outside of the reach.

Meryem, now a full-grown highborn lady, is known for her benevolence, kindness, and piety. The last being heavily impacted by an accidental encounter.

It was a few years ago when her carriage broke down duright nightfall. The driver was feeling tired and lazy, he didn’t wish to continue driving throughout the night. Meryem was on her way to a friend at a different part of the reach. The man pointed to the whorehouse which was right in front of them. He tried to convince his lady to spend the night, just to sleep, nothing more. As no inn was in sight. Meryem stubbornly refused. She didn’t even wish to come out of the carriage. She would go on to say that she would rather stay in the middle of the road, than to share the same space with lewd and shameless women.

The madame of the brothel had come outside to welcome them, along with a couple of the girls working there. She saw it as a way to earn some good coins, by hosting a highborn lady. One of the girls took offence to Meryem’s behavior, and she brazenly walked up to her and shared her story. The girl would go on to tell Meryem that she had no parents to raise her, while her relatives did not wish to take her in as she was no more than another mouth to feed. The brothel had been her only chance of survival. Meryem felt pity for the girl. So much that she decided to postpone her trip and instead took the girl to the motherhouse by the Starry Sept. By making a generous donation, Meryem convinced the Mother to accept her as a novice and teach her to read and write. As word spread about what the lady had done, other poor, young girls approached her, wondering if she might help them become eligible to study for septas. It was better than what they had had until then. This garnered her the support of many people who dedicated their life to the Seven. She finally became acquainted with the High Septon and had regular written correspondence with him until the war.

Her reputation of piety only arose in recent years, while kindess and benevolence had long followed her, though they do have their limits. She does not offer help, unless approached and she judges people for their past actions, based on how “repentant” they are.

other family: cousins to house farwynd & in law to house lannister

Early Life

house bolton reaches out as far as they can, their reach found house farwynd of the iron islands. robyn bolton and helly farwynd had 5 children. bringing ties for the first time to the iron islands and house bolton.

the eldest bolton by three minutes jorah was born alongside his twin sister catlyn. they were close as children jorah smart and wanting to do whatever he could to do right by house bolton and by his siblings. jorah loves his siblings, he always has and in the end it's why he does everything he can for them. why he's done what his father has told him to. every time push comes to shove jorah is there.

he was raised with the old way, he was raised to hold onto those old ways, to focus on the ways his father wanted him to be. it never made him flinch or blink, he was raised to know that the ends justify the means. and to house bolton it was for them to climb, for them to become better.

jorah's first chance at that was with eira stark. his father wanted a stark marriage, and she was the right age. it worked for a little while, they were cordial and fine but macabre influences were too deep in him. the betrothal was broken off and it was frustrating to his father but it didn't matter much to jorah.

love wasn't something that called to him, even when he was married to his late wife palla ryswell it was only for political ties. he never loved her but he did enjoy her company, she was kind but smart and was able to hold conversations with him. he was left to his own devices mostly.

when the need for aid came his father refused any help from house stark, the rivalry too deeply engrained in his mind. stubborn and stupid his father refused any help from the Starks. the "betrayal" of the broken betrothal to eira stark left him too proud.

jorah was smarter, and he was angry, palla died when they refused to take medicinal help from the stark's. he knew what they needed, if his father wasn't going to help his people or his children, his father had to be out of the way. when the bolton lord died no one questioned it, an accident that lead to ruling lord jorah bolton and the help they needed from the starks.

Pre-Split

the boltons followed house stark to king's landing, determined to show that they were loyal to house stark, an opportunity that would continue to put house bolton in house stark's good graces. jorah wanted to be out of the place where he lost his wife, his mother and where he had to kill his father.

the journey to king's landing was a mistake, bethany had begged jorah to let her come, she wanted to see catlyn, she wanted to see king's landing. he allowed it, jorah let his eighteen year old sister join him in king's landing.

during the mandatory feast held by queen visenya, bethany had left only for a few moments. she'd excused herself and despite jorah's wanting to follow her he stayed. it would have shamed house bolton to leave.

it wasn't until after the feast that they found bethany was gone, she was found dead later. her killer caught and executed but the damage had been done. none of house bolton had followed her, the queens insistence they attended the fest left them unwilling to leave and face anger from the queen.

house bolton left king's landing with his sisters body to have her buried in their crypt. they'd decided to stay in the north until house stark announced their support of house velaryon.

Now

joining house velaryon was an easy choice, they were one of the first to follow house stark which looked good with their liege lord. corwyn velaryon wanted visenya dead, and if they showed enough support they could find more power if they sided with the new king.

jorah is angry, he's lost his wife and his sister. he blames the queen and the people who side with her after letting an innocent die for no reason. when he appealed to have bethany's killer brought north or have himself or lord stark execute him in the old way she refused.

house velaryon needs to win this war, and jorah will do his best to make sure they do. he knows king's landing, he knows they wont play fair. neither will jorah.

Fun Facts

!!!COULD CHANGE!!!!

jorah is a skinchanger like other members of his mother's house, house farwynd. he's always had a connection with water animals, he loved them, and they loved him. he was 14 for the first time he realized he was a skin changer. at the river he shifted into one of the fish in the stream. his mother was the one who told him what happened, he was a skin changer.

as he grew his abilities grew stronger, he was able to find himself in small marine life, seals, and if he tries harder other animals connected to marine life. he wants to be better at it. he wants to be able to use other animals, he's loyal tot he stark's but he knows if he can prove useful he can be more.

it's not known he's a skin changer but there are probably some who know, stark's especially?

!!!COULD CHANGE!!!!

it's an open secret he killed his father, people can know or they don't have to. he's probably killed other people. basically if you need someone dead he's willing to do it for the right reason.

Connections

betrothal/potential love interest: house bolton needs and heir and he's going to do whatever he has to, to have one. he's willing to marry because he doesn't care about love. but he knows he should marry soon.

doubtful people/enemies: he's a bolton, he believes in A LOT of the old ways and doesn't mind the idea of the whole... flaying people. so there's plenty of people who might doubt him or just not like him for his reputation. it's also an open secret he killed his father so maybe they know that

had an affair with before his wife died: traveling or something he slept with someone else, maybe the were just casual, maybe they had feelings for each other kind of? but it adds to his guilt of his wife dying and him not being faithful, even if he didn't love her

friends, enemies, people who want his help? there's a lot we can do with him.

( lily rose depp , twenty three , cis woman , she/her ) : ANNOUNCING !! lady jeyne of house bar emmon hailing from sharp point. they are known to be pious & precocious but also, apprehensive & restrained across the realm. there are faint whispers that they support house velaryon alongside their house. they are currently at court in driftmark.

⋆ BASIC INFORMATION .

full name: jeyne bar emmon. pronunciation: jay-n. official title: lady of sharp point, lady in waiting to baelora velaryon. moniker(s): n/a. age: twenty - three. date of birth: the fourth day of the third moon. gender & pronouns: cis woman, she/her. allegiance: house velaryon of driftmark, and to a lesser extent house bar emmon of sharp point. spoken languages: the common tongue, halting high valyrian. religion: devout follower of the faith of the seven, has knowledge of the gods of old valyria and participates in a few of their ceremonies alongside baelora.

⋆ PHYSICAL TRAITS .

eyes: dark brown, nearly black. hair: black, hanging to her tailbone and is always immaculately styled — her intricate hairstyles are indicative of the great level of patience she maintains. dominant hand: right. height: five foot three. build: willowy, looks taller than she truly is. notable features: dark features that contrast with her pale skin. she suffers simultaneously from an eternal near deathly pallor and excessive blushing, which spreads to her chest in splotches when she is upset, embarrassed, angry, or even overjoyed.

⋆ PERSONALITY TRAITS .

positive: pious, nurturing, precocious, patient. negative: stubborn, apprehensive, restrained, avoidant. moral alignment: neutral good. favoured weapon: wields no weapon. interests: the faith of the seven, learning of other religions, collecting seashells, is an exceedingly talented harpist. fears: harm befalling baelora, the rumours of her father's heresy being truthful, sulvan. inspirations: shallan davar (the stormlight archive), ophelia (hamlet), young alicent hightower (hotd), laura lee (yellowjackets).

⋆ FAMILY TIES .

father: bartimos bar emmon (adoptive), arrec bar emmon nee tba (adoptive, d. 7 years ago), birth father unknown. mother: birth mother unknown, but suspected to be a disgraced novice who had been living in the motherhouse in king's landing at the time jeyne was born. siblings: liege utp bar emmon, liege utp bar emmon. birth order: last born, third in line for sharp point. extended family: none. status: unmarried, unbetrothed. children: none.

⋆ BACK STORY .

from the second that jeyne waters was brought unto the realm, her sole purpose was holiness. the same could not be said of her mother, who absconded from her position as a novice at the motherhouse in king's landing the night that she gave birth — having been completely unaware that she was with child in the first place. in her stead, the septas began to raise jeyne with the purpose of moulding another to join their ranks. at three, she was adopted by lords bartimos and arrec bar emmon. it was a privilege brought to her only by the grace of the mother, the septas had told her as they helped her pack her few belongings. with her first sight of sharp point over the railing of the swordfish, her childhood at the motherhouse became but a memory, half-erased and hazy. though she had left the stifling king's landing motherhouse behind for the ocean mist coming off of the gullet on the cliffs of sharp point, jeyne maintained her devotion to the seven that was instilled in the little time that she'd spent in her birthplace. dressed in light blue silks rather than beige muslin, she would travel to the sept each day to light a candle for one of the seven gods. as devoted to the seven as jeyne was, her fathers were similarly devoted to serving house targaryen and maintaining good relations with their vassals. when it became known that lord corwyn and lady trista were seeking a companion for their youngest child, jeyne seemed an obvious choice. she was measured, patient, a practiced harpist, and above all, an agreeable child who was already acquainted with the young lady baelora. she was sent to driftmark just a moon after her tenth name day. for thirteen years, jeyne bar emmon has been at driftmark. the place she called home, sharp point, saw only ten of her years. what began as a companionship quickly bloomed into friendship, despite the obvious differences between jeyne and baelora — where they carried a certain eerieness, jeyne was stunningly normal. as anchored in many years of quality time as it is, a friendship as long as the one that has crystallized between them requires no maintenance. as both she and baelora grew older, jeyne took on the typical duties of a lady in waiting. even with her duties, she manages to maintain her own pursuits — whether they be the harp, prayer, or spending time working on the minimal high valyrian she's picked up over the years. when her father arrec succumbed to a sudden illness six years into her time at driftmark, jeyne was reassured by bartimos that she need not return to sharp point — arrec would not want her return to be marked by such a black occasion. as tensions mounted between house velaryon and house targaryen, a fear that she would be on the opposite side of a war from the rest of her house bloomed in her chest like a poisonous hothouse flower. the bar emmons had remained loyal to house targaryen throughout all contentious points in history — jeyne had not expected this one to be any different. when a raven came that pledged house bar emmon to the velaryons, a wave of relief washed over jeyne that was short lived. as war waged inside small council rooms and on bloody battlefields, her father embarked on a different crusade — one to find power and influence in the faith of the eight. the rumour mill is rife with stories of bartimos engaging in the heretical traditions and ceremonies hailing the harbinger, and jeyne is stubbornly refusing to believe any one of them. despite her public denial, a small part of her looks back on the recent past with a retrospective worry. her father's attempts to keep her from sharp point and his uncharacteristic decision to bend the knee to king corwyn only lend themselves to the verity of the tales of his heresy. uncomfortable with reaching out to siblings she has hardly spoken to in thirteen years, jeyne is still very much in the dark when it comes to the actions of her father where he remains in sharp point.

ANNOUNCING !! ser martyn hightower of house hightower hailing from old town. they are known to be loyal & dutiful but also, overprotective & ruthless across the realm. there are faint whispers that they support house targaryen alongside their house.

Martyn was adopted by the Hightowers when he was five years old. His parents were servants of house Hightower for many years, his mother worked in the kitchen of the castle, while his father was the master of arms. Both died of a horrible disease and since he didn't have any other family left, the Hightowers took him in and raised him as one of their own. He never felt like he was treated differently for being adopted, he had access to the same lessons as his siblings and trained to become a skilled fighter.

While he was thankful for what was done for him by the Hightowers, Martyn never truly felt like a lord. He took his duties seriously, never missing a lesson and being an example but he dreamed about being a knight, since he was a young boy. Eventually, Martyn was knighted after showing incredible skill and passion and when a position in the Queensguard opened up, Martyn didn't think twice about taking it.

Martyn has been apart of the Queensguard for five years now. He's very protective not only of his family, but also the Targaryens. He's loyal to them and takes his duties very seriously. He's also known for being quite ruthless in a fight, even when he's sparing with other guards, Martyn doesn't hold back. He's not a very talkative or social person, he can often be found in the training grounds when he's not on duty. He also enjoys walks through the city, he always felt more comfortable when he was around the smallfolk, drinking with them in the taverns.

( ekin koc , 32 , cis man , he/him ) : ANNOUNCING !! ( ruling lord emir hightower ) of ( house hightower ) hailing from ( oldtown ). they are known to be ( ambitious , vigilant ) but also, ( prideful , abrasive ) across the realm. it is known that they are ( not fearful ) of the whispers of the harbinger’s return and they will ( fight for the realm ) if that should come.

GODS ARE STUBBORN. SO AM I.

reared on ambition's nectar, emir is as proud and opportunistic as his forebears. his aptitude to rule oldtown one day is hailed even as a young boy. what emir possesses in intellect and cunning, he lacks in finesse, preferring libraries and stables to the company of fellow aristocrats. he learns the art of conversation regardless, in his youth where he travels further south to explore the merits of dorne and the free cities, and grows proficient in the language of trade. emir captains the ship ember. he married young and against his parents' wishes, who had betrothed him to florence tyrell. instead, another won his affections and for once in his life, he followed his heart instead of his head. it cost him dearly: the price was his wife's life, taken in childbed. their daughter, defne, he names heir to oldtown.

he travels to king's landing a bereaved young lord with ambitions too grand to be confined to one city. upon whispers of war, he sets his eyes on the reach itself. emir observes, patient and poised, awaiting his turn. his wedding to helaena targaryen seals his loyalty to the house of dragon, an advantageous match that unites heart and mind. monarchs fall and heirs rise to claim birthrights, and emir bides his time in king's landing, using his wealth to aide the capital and suffering smallfolk. after three moons, he takes his wife to their seat at last, but in his absence, prosperous oldtown has begun to rot from within. a twisted cult has taken root, its fanatics threatening the very lifeblood of his house and home: their fervent support of the seven.

fun facts. emir wields the ancestral valyrian steel sword of his house, vigilance. he speaks fluent high valyrian out of vested interest, and bastard valyrian essential for trade deals in essos.

♛ ABOUT

TL;DR she’s a warrior-esque sort of girl, extremely responsible older sister, straighforward but also warm and can be down for jolly fun times with friends & family every now and then. very morally upright & can hold grudges for a long time . she's also the current Sword of the Morning.

she grew intrigued with the art of sword-fighting as a little girl when she witnessed a friendly swordsmanship competition at a family event. her intrigue then grew to one of fascination when she watched her brother and older male cousins being trained by their master-at-arms on a daily basis. it culminated with her begging her father to let her train to fight as well. it took a bit of time, but finally her amused father relented to the apple of his eye.

darliessa's fascination then expanded to learning about all sorts of weaponry, their history, their tricks, and how to best use them in battle as well as self-defense. Learning archery, swordsmanship, axe-swinging, dagger art-play, she swallowed everything the master-at-arms had to teach her as well until in the end, the student became the master, even besting her own father at the age of 15. All thanks to her relentless spirit in training hard, an innate talent and open-minded to making mistakes & learning new things every single day in order to nurture her passion to the fullest. Her father growing increasingly proud of his daughter & also had early on taught her the art of horse-riding and jousting as soon as she declared that her ambition was to be a knight.

when one of her closest male cousins came of age, she pleaded to be allowed to tag along with him in his touring and travels to the rest of westeros and essos . her request was eventually granted. it was during this time & at this places, where darliessa further enhanced her combative skills by learning new forms of fighting from different cultures, bringing her to further revere the art of fighting. it was also at this period of time where her dream goal was finally realized when Darliessa finally got knighted after she managed to demonstrate her exceptional skills and prowness in a battle and saving the life of an old but legendary Westerosi knight ( adventurous event to be futher detailed soon )

after finally returning home from her travels a few years ago, she took about her other duties seriously due to the fact that she was the heir of the family.

Her discipline, dedication and highly responsible nature as well as her accomplished and brilliant skills in swordsmanship made her worthy enough to carry the ancestral greatsword Dawn, thus she is now the current Sword of the Morning.

she also has a couple of less well-known hobbies of baking and embroidery.

( ruby cruz , twenty - four , female , she/her ) : ANNOUNCING !! ser soryn celtigar of house celtigar hailing from claw isle . they are known to be jovial , spirited but also, dogmatic , egotistical across the realm. there are faint whispers that they support house targaryen alongside their house. ( fitz , 27 , EST , he/him/his )

"If the gods had wanted me to play the game of thrones, they’d have given me less skill with a sword and more patience for flattery."

BASIC INFO

Full Name: Soryn Celtigar Title(s): Ser, Knight of the Queensguard Age: 24 Gender: Female (She/Her)

APPEARANCE

Hair: Dark auburn, cut shoulder-length, often tied into a practical braid or bun. Eyes: Piercing sea-green, the color of stormy waters around Claw Isle. Build: Athletic and lithe, with a strong frame forged by years of rigorous training. Distinguishing Marks: A faint scar across her right cheek, earned during a childhood sparring mishap.

PERSONALITY

Strengths:

Fearlessly loyal, particularly to her family and the queen.

Wields a sharp wit, which often disarms both friend and foe.

Exceptional swordsmanship, especially skilled in swift, precise strikes.

Weaknesses:

Overly dogmatic in her ideals of honor, which can make her inflexible.

Her humor, while endearing, can sometimes undermine her seriousness in crucial moments.

A touch of arrogance, believing her way is often the best way.

Alignment: Chaotic Good – guided by her own moral compass rather than the rigid rules of politics.

Hobbies/Interests:

Sparring matches (sometimes to show off).

Storytelling, particularly dramatic reenactments of battles—often with exaggerated flair.

Collecting small, peculiar trinkets from places she visits, such as seashells or unique coins.

FAMILY

The youngest daughter of House Celtigar. Soryn’s relationship with her family is complex. While she respects her house's history, she deeply resents the expectation that her sole purpose was to be married off for political gain. Her uncle, King Consort Daeron Celtigar, is her closest ally, as he eventually recognized her potential and helped her secure a place in the Queensguard.

WEAPONS/ITEMS

Sword: “Tidebreaker” – A finely crafted longsword with a wave-like design etched into the blade, gifted to her by her uncle.

Armor: Custom Queensguard plate with subtle shell and wave motifs, a nod to her Celtigar heritage.

Pendant: A small silver seashell charm, a keepsake from her childhood on Claw Isle.

BACKSTORY

Soryn Celtigar’s story begins on Claw Isle, where she grew up surrounded by the opulence of her family’s wealth and the unrelenting expectations placed upon her as the youngest daughter. Unlike her siblings, who most embraced their roles as pawns in the grand political game, Soryn rebelled. Refusing to be bartered away for alliances, she demanded to train as a knight, much to the chagrin of her parents.

Her fiery determination and natural skill with a blade earned her reluctant approval. She trained under seasoned knights of Claw Isle, quickly proving herself to be not just a capable fighter, but a prodigy. Despite this, her aspirations of knighthood were mocked by many who believed a Celtigar woman had no place on the battlefield.

Years of persistence paid off when she convinced her uncle, King Consort Daeron, to support her appointment to the Queensguard. This unprecedented decision shocked the court, but Soryn’s prowess and dedication silenced most critics.

Now in King’s Landing, Soryn finds herself amidst the Queen’s coronation festivities. The capital is a new and treacherous arena—one she approaches with her usual humor and carefree attitude. However, her jovial exterior belies a fierce loyalty to Queen Visenya and a desire to prove that her place in the Queensguard is earned, not given.

CONNECTIONS

Queen Visenya Targaryen: Soryn’s loyalty to the queen is steadfast, though she’s wary of court politics.

King Consort Daeron Celtigar: Her uncle and strongest advocate. Their bond is genuine.

Other Queensguard Members: Soryn has yet to prove herself among the seasoned knights, many of whom are skeptical of her appointment.

Court Nobles: Viewed with a mix of curiosity and disdain, Soryn’s unconventional path has made her a topic of gossip in King’s Landing.

STRENGTHS: Bold, strategic, cunning, self-assured and confident, witty

WEAKNESSES: Resentful, stubborn, can be impulsive at times, foul mouth/poor manners

BACKGROUND

tw labour, death, grief

Rhaena was born during a short and stormy winter at the Targaryen ancestral home in Dragonstone. Her birth nearly cost lady Blackwood her life, and took a whole of two days of labouring.

She waited a long while for the egg placed within her crib to hatch. But she grew, and her dragon never came. Her mother used to reassure her on the matter "it took you a while, perhaps she is taking her time as well''. Rhaena would read to the egg at night, wake up a little early each morn to encourage her out -- yet the day never came, and she keeps the egg still.

Dreams of becoming a dragon rider lessened as years flew past, and she gave up the idea altogether. She focused on books, on history of old Valerya, on embracing the parts of her roots within the realm of possibility. She watched her siblings and cousins with envy and refused to join them whenever they ventured out to train or spend time with their dragons at all.

This soured her relationship with most of her family, but she cared little for it and insisted she be sent across the narrow sea to learn of science, politics, weaponry and so on. As she was a difficult child, her parents relished the opportunity to get rid of her, so she spent nearly six months each years travelling and learning.

Gaining worldly experiences took away from her spoilt nature and grounded her in reality. She became more observant, more empathetic, sharper. And it made her realise how much she appreciated her family.

She got along particularly well with her cousins at Driftmark. It was a shorter ship-ride than Kings Landing, and easier to form bonds.

At the age of 15, Rhaena began to have visions of flying. The urge within her awakening like a strange form of magic she learnt of back in Essos. Her ancestors used blood magic to bind dragons to their riders. And yet, with no magic at all -- her relatives still rode them.

Soon, Morghos started calling to her, out her chamber window. And when she would climb a ship, the dragon would follow. No matter where she looked, or where she turned, the dragon danced above her sky.

Eventually, she snuck out to the shore at Dragonstone, after returning from two months in Pentos where the dragon had followed her every move. And she called to her, in high Valyrian, and she waited and she waited.

Eventually, Morghos came -- and she was terrifying. Large, with dark scales and piercing red eyes. The bond was imminent, and she placed her palm upon her head without fear, then she rode her into the night. From that day onwards, the two became inseparable. And Rhaena still rides her at least once during the day.

Her dragon flies free over dragon stone, and does not like confinement.

Rhaena never formed any strong attachments to the queen or the crown. She attended events, visited now and again, but mostly she kept out of the way. Now with the war at hand, and her cousin dead -- she has sided with the Velaryons.

Her decision to side with the Velaryons is more personal than political. Truly, she wanted to be with her family and support them during their time of grief. She is also under the impression that Targaryens had something to do with his passing which pushed her to flee to Driftmark quick, joined by her sister Seira.

She did not go with an attempt to betray anyone, and she wishes nothing more than for her entire family not to destroy one another. She loves her siblings, her cousins and does not want them to perish in the war for power. She did bend the knee to Velaryons, but upon finding out they had kidnapped her cousin, she has been more neutral on the matter.

CONNECTIONS:

Childhood friends, travel buddies, personal guards, husband/wife to be (can be annulled in face of war), lovers, enemies, frenemies, anything at all!
