𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘 .
not the first, not the last, but rather wedged and stationed somewhere near the middle, dafne was born as prince doran's fourth child, inheriting her mother's dark eyes but her father's dauntless nature. the much-treasured laws of primogeniture in dorne had bestowed dafne with a life of freedom, allowing her to live on her terms. spoiled, beloved, and irrevocably cherished, most notably by her mother cyrenne, the young martell princess had always known the true importance of family — and thus she attempted to extend that same love to her siblings, in the best ways she knew.
the thing is, to know dafne is to know that you can never quite properly catch her. it's like trying to hold a snake or wisps of faint smoke in your hands. just when you think that you have a full grasp on her, she somehow manages to slip out, twining herself around your arm in ways that she desires.
as a true dornish girl, or rather a woman, she spent certain parts of her teenhood jaunting through her land and the free cities, rather than westeros, alongside her cousins and other dornishmen. she developed several hobbies, including horse riding, playing cyvasse — a game that she's practically a master at, and most notably the art of working with snake venom at shandystone.
she greatly admired these creatures that unlike most had neither hands nor feet, but were forced to crawl on their belly and were behated by many. it's worth noting that she kept plenty of non-venomous snakes as pets, going so far as to even keep some quite literally up her sleeves — that is, if rumors are to be trusted. yes yes, this part is very much inspired by lucy gray baird, i can't help it. and yes, if she strongly dislikes you, she may just let one crawl up your leg or arm.
now in terms of duty and marriage, she did presume that someday she'd perhaps have to marry for the sake of politics or an alliance — other possibilities she did not envisage despite the more open-minded view on marriage in dorne. in a sense, she simply refused to let her mind be tormented by thoughts of irremediable love— and then, she met theon stark, and well, journey's end, after all, in lovers meeting. it happened at one of many westerosi tourneys, and what ensued was a political agglomerate in dorne, which resulted in correspondence between the two in the form of letters and later on coincidental meet-ups in king's landing. she denied it at first, or perhaps she didn't want to see it, but after a certain point there was just no space left for pretending — and well, look at her now, they've been married for nearly four years.
leaving dorne and moving up north certainly came with its own set of challenges — especially for someone so used to the sun and its warmth, though of course, dafne's willful nature has made the process of acclimating to her new household somewhat amusing. she still very often goes out for horse riding and there's no doubt that she ended up getting lost a few times on such unfamiliar terrain, and yet she still persists ! then there's the fact that she does walk around barefoot at times to sort of get used to the cold — this is the type of behavior that definitely made her quite ill on a couple occasions. really gave the maesters a fright with this one.
for the most part and despite what some may assume, she possesses political savoir-faire — she is after all doran's daughter. dafne's soft-spoken, and can be rather gentle, a trait that perhaps cannot be attributed to many dornishmen, but that makes her no less stubborn or vicious when provoked. the snake loves to play dead until it can bite you.
back in dorne, other than being renowned for her beauty, people used to affectionately call her 'copper-sleeves', due to her almost always wearing dresses with quite long copper-coloured sleeves. it was something that she used to be known for. now, her style has evolved, and she likes to mix dornish silk with northern fur. another thing that she'S kept is her love of baths — so she definitely insists upon dornish flowers and herbs and citrus fruits to be shipped up north every now and then. it's fair to say, however, that she fell in love with the winter rose and its unique scent. her snakes also did not come with her due to their dislike of cold.
i'm probably forgetting some details so more things will be added later.

why are you guys so scared of sansa month? are you THAT terrified to know people like and prefer femenine girls like sansa and lyanna instead of ugly tomboy bitches? lmfao
are you out of your mind?
alright. I could actually write a lot about your ask, but seriously?
Why the hell would we be a afraid of a secondary character's month over one of the principle'?
And there is nothing to do with being feminine, are you nuts? Seriously, touch some grass, breath some fresh air, because you guys put something in your head, even if we say over and over again. THERE IS NO PROBLEM IN BEING FEMININE. Or suddenly, you also can't comprehend? because that may be the only reason for you guys say the same thing over and over and over again as some broken record. Não é possível, pelo amor de Deus.
We got pissed that we SAID we were going to host Arya's month in May since December of 2021, and you guys decided to host yours at the same month. That is the main problem. Get out of your little bubble, dude. because you are creating and believing in your own theories and fiction instead of looking out for facts. In both. Books and the fandom.
And where did you get that Lyanna, the KNIGHT OF THE LAUGHING TREE is like S@nsa in any kind of way? Lyanna who carried and wielded a sword? Lyanna who would swordplay with her siblings? WHERE?
