﹟𝙁𝙇𝘼𝙈𝙀𝙎𝙏𝙑 — hightower d, marina moschen, 30, cis woman, she / her. welcome darliessa hightower to king’s landing. the knight of oldtown is known to all as a dedicated, responsible individual. however, amidst the chaos of the realm, they find themselves becoming more blunt and judgmental. visions of exhilaration and magic tingling through their veins as one wields a magnificent sword, ; desperately biting back ones tongue ; holding steadfast to morals and honor, hiding a hurt by disguising it as hatred haunt the dreams of dragons, who emerge murmuring of their support for the heir. we do hope that whatever happens, they play the game wisely.

♛ ABOUT
TL;DR she’s a warrior-esque sort of girl, tomboy mulan vibes but 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 grew intrigued with the art of sword-fighting as a little girl when she witnessed a friendly sword fighting 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, thinking that she would grow tired of it soon enough and return to her embroidery and baking lessons, both of which were also of her hobbies and main interests at that time.
darliessa didn’t grow weary of it. in fact, her fascination 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, sword-fighting, 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 dorne 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, she took about her other duties seriously due to the fact that she was next in line of succession after her father who is the current heir.

welcome valeana celtigar to king’s landing. the lady of crawl island is known to all as an astute, charming individual. however, amidst the chaos of the realm, they find themselves becoming more elusive and stubborn. visions of candle flames about her head like golden leaves, a silhouette slung with pearls in a cloth-of-silver and amethyst, long tresses of hair adorned with the scent of narcotic flowers haunt the dreams of dragons, who emerge murmuring of their support for their house. we do hope that whatever happens, they play the game wisely.
i.
full name, valeana celtigar . pronunciation, stretched out vale - ana. . nicknames, val, though she isn't overly fond of it . age, thirty-three. date of birth, the second day of the sixth month. origin, claw island , the crownlands . place of birth, claw isle's castle gender, cis woman. pronouns, she & her. alliance, house celtigar, whoever gets to her first . spoken languages, the common tongue, high valyrian , lysene title, lady & heir of claw island moniker, the mistress of the sea , the tidal astrea faith, r'hllor, for the public faith of the seven
ii.
eyes, deep purple , with slight heterochromia . the upper half of her left iris is actually brown, giving her left eye and even darker look , but you really have to stand close to truly see it . hair, brown , always kept loose and scented , it reaches well past her hips . height, 175 cm . build, slim and lean wardrobe, cloth of silver or cloth of purple. she doesn't wear anything else , other than ocassinally sporting something dark red. known for never quite leaving a lot to the imagination , queen of boobs and cleavage ( it's what grrm would want )
iii.
traits, charming, elusive, intelligent, hedonistic. mbti, infp . natal chart, gemini sun . moral alignment, chaotic neutral. character parallels, shiera seastar ( asoiaf ) , elizabeth woodville ( the white queen ) , marilyn monroe ( the icon ofc ) , lucrezia borgia ( the borgias ) , lady jocelyn ( a knight's tale )
iv.
mother. elenda celtigar father . dorian jordayne sibling(s), one younger , liege of house celtigar. extended family, the targaryens, more specifically the twins. spouse, none , unwed . significant other, her on-going affair . pet(s), one dragon egg ( it's a future pet perhaps ) , cream-coloured, the bottom part of it looks as if it was dipped into gold. one dog , white like snow.
a living reverie, both vulgar and divine, blessed, or perhaps damned with ancient valyrian and targaryen blood. a woman carved from ivory, a woman wrought from iron, a woman is a woman until she is a wife, and then she's just an extension.
the first lesson in life that they teach her is how to swim. toss the child into the murky, restless waters, and watch how she rises with the waves. from an early age, they parrot and tell her all the things that she must either do or become. they whisk her away for lessons, force her to straighten her shoulders and stand proudly by her cousins, teacher her when to smile and when to cry, and how to hide any real emotion that may arise.
it's her mother, however, that gives her freedom. valeana must always know where she comes from. must know that she isn't just a child of westeros, but one of valyria and essos.
in essos, she finds faith. something to believe in. the lord of light breathes life into her and with it a purpose. she is not who she is, she is what she makes of herself. maiden, lover, crone, witch,and the greatest beauty.
in a land of blood and fire, a land of seven kingdoms, she learns how to grow without getting burned, even when she's waltzing close to the maw of a dragon, that of a beast or her cousins, it's either one, none, or both, for it makes no difference to her.
thus with a kiss she dies, thus with a kiss, she seals every sin.
HEADCANONS.
child of house celtigar, belaerys and jordayne, a crazy mixture with a high dosage of valyrian blood. in westeros, she's renowned for her great beauty and not status, and has inspired several tales and bard songs. some are humorous by nature, others praise her looks and call her an enchantress.
by extension, this has always made her rather well-known during jousts and tourneys, as she's had many compete for her attention and favor. every piece of cloth that she'd tie to a lance she'd kiss first — only further solidifying herself as the westerosi marilyn monroe teehee, the queen of love and beauty. it's quite a show to behold. first, she waits for the crowd to silence, then she pretends to drop it, and finally, while everyone holds their breath, she pulls it out from her sleeve and blows a kiss.
practices and harbors great interest for bloodmagic, though this isn't well-known in most circles. people of course talk, but there's no proof. all of this is to support her own goals, aspirations and desires. yet she's no stranger to aiding others in case they need assistance ( and have earned her respect ).
there were several attempts to marry her off, but somehow, she's always managed to evade her suitors and break off betrothals. why? most say that she's loyal only to one, a lover that she keeps but can't or won't marry.
it's been said that valeana bears a much greater resemblance to her aunt than mother. in turn, this is why the king perhaps shows more sympathy towards her wishes and demands, even mishaps.
was gifted an almost golden-colored dragon egg by the king and she's currently trying to bond with it properly.
notoriously a tease, but the way she dresses would have you thinking differently. the materials which she drapes over herself are quite often see-through or translucent, making it seem as if she's just gotten out of water. she neither cares nor bothers to listen to what others may think.
as loyal as a serpent that you'd let coil around your hand. really, it's all about what you have to offer first.
a lover and a hedonist at heart. she needs beauty, good wine and devotion in order to survive. the type to very much enjoy in a bacchanal.
much like melisandre, she too can light a sword on fire. every lady needs a flaming sword what can i say.
lives her life freely, the way she'd always wanted, and cares deeply about the future of her house.
has traveled to many places and has picked up more than a few skills along the way, including basic sword-play.
a brilliant dancer, very dedicated to the art, it's a mesmerizing sight to sit and behold her.
there are countless rumors about her: some say that she's given birth to a bastard ( false ) others claim that she's immortal ( again, think on it ). it's about the myth you make for yourself ladies. even when she's long gone, people will still talk of her as if she's alive.
WANTED CONNECTIONS.
i. between you and i, between the sand and the sea. valena's famous, not-so-famous lover. they've had an ongoing affair for nearly a decade, and outside of her family, this is the one person she'd give everything for. her devotion comes with unyielding loyalty and it's perhaps even smeared with blood, but more on it can be discussed. they can never wed ( it's either because they're already married to another or because valeana simply refuses to belong to anyone ), but when they both die, they'll bury them next to each other or toss their bones on the same pile. ( 30+, will be officially expanded and sent to the main )
ii. a close circle of women that she keeps and is very fond of. it's more than just sharing wine and trading gossips — this is about loyalty. how they all met is certainly up to us, but valeana could be the middle ground that connects them. friend of a friend of a friend, they sit in circles, devouring everything that their fingers might touch. f-locked, 0/3, 28+
iii. someone who mistook her for a lady with no fighting skills and thought she was merely jesting about knowing swordplay. whether or not she won doesn't matter, it's the fact that she made it so difficult that's impressive.
iv. perhaps another noble who is interested in bloodmagic or magic in general and either wants to learn more about valeana's little hobby — and from her, or someone who simply wants to find out if the rumors about her being a witch are true. also, maybe they wish to learn more about her dragon egg, whatever. 0/2
v. a noble who thinks that through valeana they can get close to the targaryens. idk, i think it'd be funny to see just how much she likes her cousins and if she's ready to trick the other person for their sake. 0/1
vi. her admires ofc — those who are basically under her spell, in contrast to this, people who for whatever reason can't seem to like her and call her either a whore or a crone, past betrothals, perhaps things are still sour between them, or very much past lovers ( 30+ ) who loathe her for the way she simply discarded them. idk, these are just some very random ideas, i'm always willing to add more.

﹟𝙁𝙇𝘼𝙈𝙀𝙎𝙏𝙑 ⁝ welcome elyan dayne to king’s landing. the ruling lord of starfall is known to all as an witty, observant individual. however, amidst the chaos of the realm, they find themselves becoming more mercurial and apathetic. visions of heavy is the house 'pon bird-bone shoulders - you seek what will raise your house / your family / your lands all too keen of the whispers of war 'neath your feet, raven - black hair broken by a single streak of silver like the dawn by which you carry, oh sing the dead man's song soldier boy ! restless is thee / hungry to forge a path of security your forefathers failed to secure haunt the dreams of dragons, who emerge murmuring of their support for their house, though sympathetic for the cause of the heir. we do hope that whatever happens, they play the game wisely.
THE BASICS.
full name: elyan dayne. nicknames: none. title: ruling lord of starfall. sobriquets: sword of the morning / the guiding star of starfall. date of birth: november 12th. age: thirty-seven. birthplace: starfall, dorne. gender: cis man. pronouns: he/him/his. orientation: bisexual. languages spoken: fluent in the common tongue, spoken soft and calculated, rough as gravel.
THE PHYSICALITIES.
faceclaim: m.anny j.acinto. height: 180cm. eyes: dark brown. hair: dark brown, almost black, broken by a thin streak of silver that curls along the left side of his face. build: a knight's build, broad and visibly strong to accommodate heavy weaponry. scars: a few in typical spots (re: his hands, arms from training). a long slash across his chest from when he shielded his youngest sibling from an attack.
THE FAMILY.
father: deceased since elyan was twenty. mother: deceased, passed shortly after the birth of his youngest sibling. marital status: a political marriage that was decided for him when he was young, officially married to his partner since he was twenty one. ( wc ). siblings: two younger siblings of which he is protective over. ( wc on main ).
THE EMOTIONAL.
mbti: the architect, intj. enneagram: 5w6, the troubleshooter. element: water. temperament: choleric. character inspirations: anakin skywalker, howl pendragon, kaz brekker. deadly sin: envy, pride. heavenly virtue: diligence, kindness.
THE HISTORY.
( trigger warnings for : death, injury ) first-born of the dayne house, your parents whisper a promise of greatness into your ears before you've even had a chance to part lips for your first wail. he'll be part of the force that frees us from the rest of westeros, they whisper amongst themselves, eyes adoring as they weaved a promise between their fingertips and yours ( soon, those soft, chubby hands would lengthen, become callous, from babe to boy to man : wielder of a legendary sword ). you are recognized only by your proximity to those closest to you. first, the heir of the lord of house dayne. second, the noble eldest. third, the son of a widow, the brother-eldest to two, when your mother passes after a hard birth. fourth, the pawn by which a marriage alliance was to unfold. even when your father passes after your twentieth, the title of ruling lord passing from father to son, you are still known as fifth : guiding star of starfall, the sword of the morning. the name elyan dayne seldom passes through lips unless in official capacity. you grow with your house. the political marriage formed when you were young bears fruit - it is a quiet affair, bound by filial obligations, yet even your siblings catch on to the reserved expression you make. that same evening, you tell them : it is duty, after all. honor to your house. a marriage on the grounds of true love is reserved solely for the ones who lack ambition. your sobriquet echoes through dorne, ringing out through westeros : the guiding star of starfall, lit from within is he. eldest of a vassal house sworn to house martell ... yet, allegiance is selfish. remains sworn to the island-castle he was raised on. at present, you've left the dust and sand of dorne for king's landing, a representative to your house and region alongside your family. you care little for the politics of a far - flung continent, but the cause of the princess-heir sings a familiar tune that you are sympathetic towards.
THE HEADCANONS.
oh brother another eldest son with the world on his shoulders !! extremely devoted to his family and to his house. severely blurs the line between caring because he's supposed to and he was told to do that versus caring because he has love for them.
has a sick ass scar on his chest that he got from foiling an assassination attempt on his youngest sibling.
is sickeningly lonely. SICKENINGLY. he craves connection but purposely doesn't seek it out because in his eyes he needs to remain stoic, unbiased, very knight-like and unattached to be able to fulfill his duty to his house/family.
actually expanding on the previous point. he feels like people will only love him so long as he can serve out any of his expected intentions (re: as a brother, as a partner, as a lord) so he is quite literally always putting on a facade. he's never truly himself in public bc to elyan, being himself = not being able to uphold expectations.
man of few words but he'll yap to the right people.
was a bit of a wh*re when he was younger as it was an outlet for the emotional state he always kept 2 himself but as the years went on (and also bc he got CUFFED) he's mellowed out significantly. nowadays it's like bed ? no. you'll find this man in the library reading up on political strategies!
overthinks really easily but it's difficult to tell unless you really know him. to an outsider, he's really impassive, not that expressive, but if you grew up with him or you spent a lot of time with him you can catch onto all these minute tells that expose his internal workings.
THE CONNECTIONS.
THE DAYNE SIBLINGS : wc on the main. the middle is adopted, the youngest is blood-related, though none of that matters to elyan. he's very protective of his siblings, more so after both their parents had passed, and most of his personal motivations are driven by the need to forge a world that would best keep his siblings safe from harm. he knows as royals, they'll always have a target on their back, and though he may personally align himself with his house, he's willing to do whatever ensures their personal safety. of all the people in the world, his siblings are the ones he is closest with. / taken by no one yet
OH, BETROTHED : an initially loveless marriage that has grown into a partnership. they're both aware they're being used as political pawns to strengthen relations, and though bitter feelings may have existed before, they've since melted away to make room for understanding. not dornish, but open to any house.
CONFIDANTE : the one who, outside of his immediate family, is the person elyan is closest to. they seem to understand each other without needing words, and they're very much elyan's opposite in many ways - drawing him out of his shell and recluse with ease.
SWORN ENEMIES : for whatever reason, this person rubs elyan the wrong way always. maybe they looked at him wrong at a banquet. maybe they accidentally tripped elyan one day. maybe they were flirting up a storm with his partner. either way, elyan is cold, cold, cold with this person, and the tension is always palpable.
FORMER LOVERS : elyan is no stranger to what occurs between bodies. this could've been someone he'd been courting for a bit before his marriage, a sneaky-link in the dark, etc etc. he's got his fair share of affections, though most were surface level on his side. he knew not to get too engrossed.
ALLIES OF THE COURT : the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and this rings true for the political maze of king's landing. whatever brings them together, be it trade, a common foe, or even simply house allegiances - they're a trusting face elyan is glad to see.

STORY .
born in the quiet halls of riverrun, eleanor tully is the youngest of five children, always living in the shadow of her older siblings. as a child, she watches with wide eyes as her sisters parade in their beautiful gowns and sparkling jewels, each day filled with the laughter and chatter of family life. but when her father sends her to winterfell to foster with her aunt, she finds herself in a world as different from her own as the summer sun is from the winter's chill. the north is a land of stark beauty, where the wind howls through the trees and snow blankets the ground, yet eleanor longs for the warmth and color of the south, where life feels vibrant and alive.
when she returns to riverrun as a young woman, the pressure to marry and secure her place in the world weighs heavily on her shoulders. her family eyes her with hope, eager to see her follow in her sisters' footsteps and catch the attention of a worthy suitor. but eleanor is no simple girl to be wed off without a thought. beneath her charming smile lies a fierce desire to carve out her own path. as whispers of marriage proposals surround her, she begins to learn the art of courtly games, determined to use her beauty and wit to her advantage. yet, even as she navigates the complexities of her future, the allure of the south still tugs at her heart, a reminder of the life she yearns for beyond the walls of riverrun.
WANTED CONNECTIONS .
the spider ' s web . a cunning and influential court figure who sees eleanor’s potential and skillfully weaves her into their intricate web of manipulation. they teach eleanor the art of courtly games, molding her into a political player, but their tutelage comes with strings attached—and eleanor may eventually find herself tangled in their schemes. ( 0 / 1 )
the serpent in silk . a beautiful and ambitious rival who competes with eleanor for attention, influence, and status. beneath their charm and grace lies venomous intent, and their relationship is a constant back-and-forth of subtle sabotage and power plays. this rivalry forces eleanor to sharpen her own manipulative skills, testing her limits. ( 0 / 1 )
the thorned rose . a suitor who is captivated by eleanor’s beauty and charm but harbors their own ambitions. the thorned rose presents a relationship full of intrigue and complication—either as someone eleanor can use to advance her status or as a potential love interest who challenges her to confront her deeper insecurities and desires. whether they bloom together or hurt each other with their ambitions remains to be seen. ( 0 / 1 )
the charming rogue . a dashing and charismatic individual who effortlessly captures the attention of all, including eleanor. their playful banter and flirty demeanor create a whirlwind of attraction that draws her in, igniting her vanity and desire for attention. however, beneath the charm lies a mysterious past and ulterior motives. this flirtation challenges eleanor to navigate her feelings and ambitions, forcing her to consider whether their connection is genuine or just another game in the court. ( 0 / 1 )
the mirror . a confidant who reflects eleanor’s true self back at her, seeing past her outward beauty and ambition to the vulnerability beneath. they are someone she can be real with, offering a rare and cherished bond. however, as eleanor delves deeper into manipulation and superficiality, their relationship may fracture, forcing her to confront whether she’s losing herself in the process. ( 0 / 1 )
the fox in the henhouse . a clever opportunist who seeks to exploit eleanor’s rising influence for their own gain. the fox flatters eleanor and tempts her with the promise of more power, alliances, or wealth, but always with a hidden agenda. eleanor must learn to recognize their schemes—or she might end up their pawn. alternatively, she could embrace the partnership for mutual gain. ( 0 / 1 )
the iron butterfly . the most powerful woman at court, both admired and feared by all. this formidable figure becomes eleanor’s role model, someone she initially idolizes and seeks to impress. as eleanor’s own ambitions grow, she must decide whether to remain an ally of the iron butterfly or challenge her for dominance. their interactions push eleanor to decide whether she wants to be a graceful follower or a dangerous rival. ( 0 / 1 )

﹟𝙁𝙇𝘼𝙈𝙀𝙎𝙏𝙑 ⁝ reyne e, tian xiwei, 24, demi woman, she / they. welcome audrey reyne to king’s landing. the lady of castamere is known to all as a kind, loyal individual. however, amidst the chaos of the realm, they find themselves becoming more easily anxious and awkward. visions of a deft potter's hands, ; finding happiness and self-confidence through secret hobbies, ; trying their very best not to embarrass their family, ; sweaty palms and stammering as one searches for the right words haunt the dreams of dragons, who emerge murmuring of their support for their house. we do hope that whatever happens, they play the game wisely.
Being born into a family of achievers or over-achievers meant you had to excel at something or be deemed a disappointment. For Audrey Reyne, it would unfortunately seemed that she was the latter. As that was what she felt anyway, for she was seemingly just very average or sometimes, even deemed below average by her parents who held very high standards of expectations from all of their children. She wasn't regarded as stunningly beautiful as her sisters nor did she possess a witty tongue, being one to stammer or stutter as she struggled to find the right words to say in a social crowd when placed in the limelight. She found it difficult to initiate small talk with complete strangers nor was she refined in the art of flirtation. She was not graceful, often involved in clumsy accidents and she seemed to have two left feet when it came to dancing, finding it hard to match the rhythm or slow to catch up on the steps. She wasn't very poetic or philosophical nor did she fare well in mathematics. She also seemed to be lacking in talent for creative ventures like music and embroidery and anything that mattered to her parents. Though secretly, she was talented in a couple of creative things that wouldn't exactly be fitting for a proper lady of her station.
Audrey tried hard, so very hard in fact to be the ideal daughter to their parents. Though they didn't shine like their siblings, they were at least a very dutiful, obedient and very well-mannered lady. And if one were to get to know the introvert Audrey well, they would find that she possessed the kindest of hearts and a deeply empathetic soul. She could actually converse quite humorously when among her loved ones and small circle of friends.
They were 11 when they were first intrigued and then mesmerized by the art of pottery-making, after having watched a potter at work in the village of where their family's lands were. It was then that they harbored their first secret activity from their parents as they secretly learned lessons and grew to be extremely talented in this particular artistic pursuit.
With their sisters having secured very advantageous and high-profile matches, all eyes were now on Audrey to make a good match as well. Audrey is currently a bag of nerves and anxiety, not wanting to fail spectacularly.
Audrey also tends to over-worry about things, getting anxious and fretting more than necessary. Due to their upbringing, they're also quite the people-pleaser.

﹟𝙁𝙇𝘼𝙈𝙀𝙎𝙏𝙑 ⁝ manderly c, david corenswet, 29, cis man, he / him. welcome desmond manderly to king’s landing. the lord of white harbor is known to all as an observant, imaginative individual. however, amidst the chaos of the realm, they find themselves becoming more soft - spoken and secretive. visions of a blooming soft rose enclosed in a glass case amidst a freezing weather and rough men, ; forever ink-stained hands, ; piercing cornflower blue eyes pairing with a dimpled smile haunt the dreams of dragons, who emerge murmuring of their support for the heir, house manderly, & house stark. we do hope that whatever happens, they play the game wisely.
Desmond was born the second son & the 2nd child in the Manderly family, instantly designating him as his father’s spare by default. However, he really, really doesn’t wanna be the spare as he absolutely has zero intentions to become a ruler. He does like his lessons as he loves learning & is an information sponge but he doesn’t want to make a career out of it as the duties of a ruler seemed so mundane and un-creative. However as it stands currently, his elder brother who is now the current ruling lord has gotten married, so Desmond has been praying hard to the Seven for them to pop out a few children soon.
He used to be a very sickly kid with low immunity and especially with the brutally cold weather of the North, he kept falling ill with one thing after another throughout most of his childhood. Thus he was forced to spend most of his time indoors. He couldn’t roughhouse too much too with other boys as his physicality was rather fragile. So in the end, he didn’t have much chance to wander around and explore the world around him whilst growing up as well as missing out on several social events that could have helped widened his friends circle
Fortunately he was able to gradually accept his situation and found his happy retreat & the answer to his prayers, in books Books were the gateways to a whole world of information about the world outside his castle as well as being the portal to travel to all sorts of fantastical and unique places that he was physically limited to travelling to due to his poor health. They sparked and opened an explosion of imaginative talent in him and his vivid imagination delighted in non-fictional books as well as historical stories documented in several journals or told by the people who came to trade or visit the bustling city of White Harbor. Desmond also found a love for poetry and writing letters. He’s actually been secretly writing a few short romance stories on his own as he is quite the romanticist. Only a we select people in his life knows about this secret of his.
Personality-wise, he is very nice & kind, quite sociable ( cos his health has improved tremendously ovr the past 8/9 years or so ), a bit soft-spoken but in no means a lesser conversationalist. Likes making new friends in order to get to know their stories & cultures but sometimes will get overwhelmed with large crowds, too high-octave of a party and too big of a group discussion. His dream now is to travel the world in order to experience first-hand the different cultures, traditions, history , etc & to understand them more profoundly. Which were all the things he didn’t get to do as a kid.
Desmond is also a pretty observative guy due to the way he grew up. He’s quick to notice small details and quietly likes observing and analyzing people’s behaviors and actions. It also helps him to delve into the various complex psyche of people’s personalities which will further help him in his writings and to hopefully achieve his dreams of writing a novel

﹟𝙁𝙇𝘼𝙈𝙀𝙎𝙏𝙑 ⁝ welcome corwyn arryn to king’s landing. the lord of the eyrie is known to all as an dependable, tenacious individual. however, amidst the chaos of the realm, they find themselves becoming more machiavellian and calculating. visions of glory - how you seek her elusive hand ( the need to rise above your station, to seek out recognition for what you really are / brilliant dazzling blinding ), there's a boy inside you who hungers for the attention of a crowd / there's a beast inside you who howls for the one who cried wolf, and your mother has warned you against the bitter root of jealousy. she does not know the root has bloomed into a tree haunt the dreams of dragons, who emerge murmuring of their support for the spare. we do hope that whatever happens, they play the game wisely.

mbti: the commander, entj. enneagram: 3w2, the achiever. element: fire. temperament: melancholic. character inspirations: coriolanus snow, kylo ren. deadly sin: pride, wrath. heavenly virtue: charity.
THE HISTORY.
it seemed that pride had always been your muse. born third and the youngest of house arryn, your lot in life seemed to have already been decided : far too young are you to influence a marriage arrangement, or lead a house, or serve in any meaningful capacity. knighthood wasn't important enough, and you had too much pride to even begin as a worthless squire. what good was a house so old, so noble, if you simply weren't the first ? perhaps the way people treated you was contribution to the seed in your heart — the one so bitter, envious at your siblings for their grand destinies. you were corwyn, the sweet youngest, boy who took freshly-baked bread from the kitchen with a warm laugh before slipping off into hallways. once boy had melted into man, you expected people to take you more seriously. you were, after all, an arryn. nothing but foolishness to expect something to change. despite your age, you were still in the eyes of many the boy with the bread, laughter as warm as the loaf in your hands. and at first, well, it was endearing. a sweet reminder to your heart. but the seed had grown into a sapling when you weren't looking, and the sapling had taken root throughout the cavity of your chest, spreading its branches into your lungs and your mind, anger its fruit. for you were corwyn arryn, the youngest, and people spoke as if that is all you will ever be. but you had a sharp mind, vulpine in its design. where people saw uncertainty in the growing rumors, you saw opportunity. you know where your house lays their loyalty — first and foremost, to itself, then sympathy extends to the princess. but fate had a different choice for you : your loyalties lie with the spare. two royals, forgotten and cast - aside. should the iron throne belong to him, you know house arryn will have no choice but to recognize what you always were : brilliant, dazzling, and more than the youngest.
THE HEADCANONS.
coryo but if he was in asoiaf actually
in a nutshell: manipulate, mansplain. wish he was malewife but there's no room to malewife when he's constantly scheming i fear.
bit of a prodigy at archery ngl it's smth he's genuinely better than good at and maybe if he wasnt so big-headed n narcissistic he could've actually made a name for himself across westeros.. unfortunately he is big-headed n narcissistic
suffers from youngest child syndrome n essentially, at his core, wants to be recognized as an individual n not as a member of house of arryn.
would sell his house out for recognition like it is truly unhinged what this man wouldn't do for people to be like omg corwyn?? u mean that sexc ass mf who is super smart n cunning?
in that same vein he's also a Little bit obsessed w power but like that is neither here nor there
THE CONNECTIONS.
THE APPLE OF EDEN'S COURT : your muse just so happened to catch corwyn's eyes and unfortunately (or fortunately) for them, he's decided to court them for strategic reasons. picture : your dream man, except he's the snake to your eve.
JILTED LOVERS OR FRIENDS : one thing about a man who uses people to get ahead ? he'll have a trail behind him of those who have served out their purpose. whether corwyn has snatched back a romantic confession or stabbed a dear friend in the back, these are the few who have paid dearly for trusting him. / open to three muses.
FRENEMY : in public, aren't they just the tightest of friends. behind closed doors, words are exchanged like steel blades. there doesn't seem to be a shortage of barbs thrown between them.
and more but my brain kinda empty rn.
