III. PREVIOUS MARRIAGES
HOUSE TULLY: she was first married to the former lord tully whom was much too old for her, she kept the man drunk or drugged but away from her and the marital bed. he never touched her. with this and by result never had a child. he passed away, assumed by a heart attack, killed by her hand. she would’ve been 19 when she married him, 20 when she became a widow.
HOUSE SALTCLIFFE: thinking of having allies in the islands, she was then married off to lord saltcliffe. they argued often and could not find a way to get along for longer than a couple of minutes, to this add the iron born believes of treating her like a salt wife and not entirely a rock wife because of her origin in the main land eventually drove her mad with rage and her husband was presumed lost at sea. something she arranged. they had a daughter who is 9, wishes for her daughter to not be raised in the iron way nor inherit anything from the satcliffe house. she was 21 when she married, widowed at 23
HOUSE ROYCE: married to the former ruling lord not long after being a widow, she had no complaints of the man, he was kind, she simply hated being so secluded from people in the gates of the moon. took matters into her own hands after finding herself with child. unfortunately she was overconfident that she would have a son, she gave birth to a daughter again, no heir. she is now 7. married at 23 widowed at 24.
HOUSE LANNISTER OF LANNISPORT: the widow of lucien they fathered two little girls together who are 5 and 4 now. she may or may not be the one that killed him, their marriage was rocky, they both cheated and were aware of it, the fights were endless.. married at 25 widowed at 27.
HOUSE STARK: married to prince robert stark out of convenience but ends up falling in love with him. this is the only marriage she had actually agreed with as she had fallen in love with him, only for him to be killed not by her hand either. is still enraged about the whole ordeal. absolutely hates the forresters, could probs have something to do with audens death. they fathered twin girls who are now 2. married at 28, widow at 30.

[ greenie . ]
Name: Poinsettia Helicent Hightower
Nickname: Settia
Alias: Lady of Oldtown, Lady of Hightower
Age: 29
Height: 5′5″ (165.1 cm)
Weight: 158 lbs
Gender/Pronouns: Demi - female | she/they
Sexuality: Pansexual
Romantic Orientation: Panromantic
FAMILY
Father: Ruling Lord Garth II Hightower
Mother: Ruling Lady Alicent Hightower nee Mullendore
Uncle: Ser Uther Hightower
Siblings: Lord tbd Hightower, Lord Samwell Hightower, Lady tbd Hightower, Lord tbd Hightower
Cousins: House Mullendore, House Ashford
Child: Leo Flowers
BACKGROUND
House Hightower is an ancient and powerful house, a dynasty existing since the dawn of days. Predating every house great and minor on Westeros, it has outlived the Gardeners, and will outlive the Tyrells. For not even the Lannisters have mastered the art of the long-con, and in that Hightower has the edge. Each generation makes moves tens of years into the future, an ever-expanding, ever strengthening web of connections.
It is into this ancient house that Poinsettia is born. Fourth child and second daughter, it is she and her sister that have the most hidden roles to play, the grander mission in mind. As soon as was practical, they are sent to King’s Landing, to serve as one of the ladies-in-waiting to the youngest Targaryen princess. There she would learn and master the Game, and enter into a long-con mission of her own - the deposing of House Tyrell.
Oh certainly, Hightower had smiled and nodded and bowed their heads to the Tyrells - after all, the Reach had bigger things to contend with then the cliché trope of power-hungry, opportunistic steward. And each generation was entrusted with this long-con mission. The Tyrells had wealth only because of the Bank of Oldtown. The Tyrells had such a strong army only because of the men that Hightower fields. The Citadel and the Starry Sept both sit in Oldtown.
The Tyrells were dealt a significant blow 100 years ago, and now Hightower sought to finish the job. To that end, Poinsettia utilized her time in King’s Landing to make connections, to sow the seeds of dissent that would finally see the Tyrells fall. Though, that was when they were with Aenysa, making mischief and laughing loudly into the night.
Prior to the death of King Aerys III, Poinsettia had a brief affair with a lord that had come to court. The result of that affair is their one year old son, Leo Flowers. Due to their dislike of this lord and own ambitions, they plan to petition to have their son legitimized as a Hightower. They have not told anyone of this plan, to keep her son’s father from getting in her way.
MISCELLANEOUS
Poinsettia isn’t really dedicated to making a good match for herself - especially so since there’s very few eligible marriage candidates that care to marry a woman with another man’s bastard. And she continues to refuse even considering entering into a hateful match with her son’s father.
They’re really big on alchemy, as the Hightowers have a history of dabbling in alchemy and magic. They spent a fair amount of time among the Alchemists’ Guild in King’s Landing, studying what could not be sent to them from Oldtown.

About Duncan
- Duncan was brought up to be a member of the Kingsguard. He was trained from a young age by his father who served the Targaryen King, and his grandfather before him served as the Lord Commander of the Kingsguard, so it was always the path that had been made for him.
- When he was a teenager and old enough to actually train with the Kingsguard - men and women who had become family to him, he and his father lived in Dragonstone and he got to know the Targaryens, finally actually knowing the family that his family had sworn allegiance to.
- It was in Dragonstone while he was training, where he met Aliana Targaryen. The princess caught his eye immediately, but as a Knight and someone who was going to be a part of the Kings Guard, not to mention his lower station, he shouldn’t have entertained any thoughts of any kind of relationship with her. However, these things couldn’t be helped and he found himself endlessly tortured wanting her, developing feelings for her the more he knew her.
- There came a day when Aliana turned 18, that her marriage to the Greyjoy king had been arranged, and while Duncan was still set on joining the Kingsguard and going with the path that he’d known all of his life, it only took one look from Aliana, and her begging for him to come with her, knowing what the Iron Islands were like, for him to accept and take his position as her personal guard.
- He’s been her personal guard ever since, escorting her practically everywhere she goes, protecting her and willing to lay down his life for her and for the children she had with another man. He loves her, and knows that she loves him but there is nothing they can do about their situation, so he’s become a master of concealing his emotions as he stands behind her through it all.
- more to be added!

* ── [ aslihan malbora , cis female , she/her . ] : in the frays of king aerys iii's reign , therein remains moiraene manderly, the twenty - five year old ruling lady of white harbour . rumor has it that their loyalties lie with house stark and they are neutral to the targaryen reign . they're so kind + empathetic that it makes sense , but most seem to look past their naivity + timid nature . when they come up in conversation , i'm always reminded of soft pastel silks brushing against the floor , the dim light of a candle in the dead of night, trilling laughter at ridiculous stories , longing and loneliness that never wanes , a puzzle piece that doesn’t fit .
i ––––– general
name : moiraene manderly
nicknames : rae, raena
alliance : stark & manderly
titles : ruling lady of white harbour, former lady-in-waiting to mera stark
marital status : unwed
ii ––––– personal
sexual orientation : bisexual
romantic orientation : biromantic
moral alignment : lawful good
sins : lust / gluttony / greed / sloth / wrath / pride / envy
virtues : chastity / temperance / charity / diligence / patience / kindness / humility
iii ––––– biography
born the second youngest of the manderly clan, moiraene grew up with barely a care in the world. with older siblings already out in the world to make connections and marry well, moiraene set about in simply enjoying her life.
she was more than happy to ride on the coat tails of her siblings, never worrying all too much for responsibility. instead she usually lost herself in stories, reading of knights of the past and romances that would live on for a thousand years.
she always had a kindness about her as a child. she would often pick flowers for her parents and siblings, would trail along after her mother and the household staff to see where she could be helpful.
she’d sit in discussions with her mother and her septa about her future and she’d paint the most beautiful pictures. she always thought that she was bound for some romantic life like something out of a song. she thought someone would fall madly in love with her and she would fall for them just the same. she thought she would build some perfect life for herself, and she had no sights set on ambition. she would have happily married someone fourth in line for their family’s seat as long as they made each other happy.
she became the pride of white harbour as she grew into a young woman. she often made her way throughout the city, listening to stories told of sailors in port for the night and people who travelled from regions further away than hers.
she became one of mera’s ladies-in-waiting and it’s something moiraene looked to with great amounts of pride. she loves mera and the other ladies in her service, her loyalty to them just as strong even now.
she’s a soft woman for someone raised in the north, and people always joked that it was because the manderly’s were once from the reach that she ended up more typically southern in many of her ideals and behaviours.
she didn’t travel all that much until she’d made it perfectly clear that she wanted to find the love of her life. it’s how she ended up meeting blade lannister of all people. she was told it could be a good potential match and it’s never taken moiraene much to develop feelings for someone. she lost her virginity to him, wrapped up in her own fantasy world that perhaps they’d make a good husband and wife one day.
that fantasy all fell apart when she found out that she was pregnant not long after. her family was outraged, demanding that she and the lannister lord marry, only for blade to deny the union.
she retreated well into white harbour to save herself the embarrassment of birthing a bastard, thinking that she could hide it and keep the father out of the picture completely.
when her son zeki snow was born, he easily became the light of her life. she’d always wanted children and her son is the most precious thing in the world to her. eventually, she loved him enough to stop caring quite as much about the fact that her reputation was in ruins. her little boy is four now.
when she and her family got the invitation to king’s landing, she was so excited to be there for the crowning of monarchs. she hadn’t dreamed of the travel on their boats to be so rough, and she hadn’t expecting most of her family to get so sick on the journey there.
she and her younger sister had been on a different ship to her parents and older siblings and to this day she doesn’t know if it was a blessing or a curse. all the family on the other ship died to an illness, half the crew dying with them.
the grief was overwhelming, as was the fact that she was now the ruling lady of white harbour. she had always planned to marry a noble that could either care for their estate on their own or wasn’t inheriting land at all, so she had no idea what to do with such responsibility.
she’s almost thankful for the prolonged stay in the south. having to send letters back and forth to make decisions about white harbour is bad enough, the thought of having to go back and actually care for an entire city if terrifying. she’s in over her head and everyone knows it, but she’s determined to make her family proud.
overall, rae is a very sweet lady. she rarely does things out of malice and she cares deeply about others. at times she can get lost in her own dreamer world and make something small very big in her head, and she’s often found with a book in her hand or an instrument to pass the time. she plays the got equivalent of a harp very well.

── [ toby regbo , cis male , he/ him . ] : in the frays of king aerys iii's reign , therein remains blade lannister, the twenty four year old lord of lannisport . rumor has it that their loyalties lie with house lannister and they are against the targaryen reign . they're so maverick + staunch that it makes sense , but most seem to look past their haughty + brazen nature . when they come up in conversation , i'm always reminded of strained, raspy voices, the smell of leather and oak, and a cloudy sky before a storm.
⟿ much like his name, blade is sharp and logical, ready to strike at anyone at any given time
⟿ being the youngest lannister sibling, it only felt right that he had to prove his strength and abilities ; over time, this rather turned into his personality. or rather showed him his very own true colors
⟿ blade’s loyalties lie with his family and his family only ; to even consider turning his back on the lannister name would make him consider himself a traitor. his loyalty knows no ends.
⟿ while he is independent and does not need the support of others, and also relies on his own family for help ; any outsiders that offer their support will simply just set him off. blade is very much short-tempered and has so shame or feelings of guilt for speaking his mind
⟿ blade has soft spots, but tries to either keep them well-hidden or does not recognize them. his pride very much gets in the way here
wcs / possible connections:
any friendships
enemies. pls. give me.
probs more past lovers.

a dornish mother and an iron father, it did not seem out of place when his mother delivered him somewhere in the sunset sea on the way back to ten towers. and early irraval iravan joined his family with strong lungs and stronger cries. born at sea for the sea.
it was no surprise when the boy grew up to be obsessed with the sea, both in books and in person, he wanted to know everything there was. the history, the legends, the tales. he was mesmerized by it all, the iron born were meant for sail, but he was meant to become the sea. at least that was what his mother used to tell him.
he roamed free, even for a kid that one day had to inherit his father’s title he roamed free around ten towerrs, his playground. it wasn’t until his father noticed the softness in his son, something he thought an iron born could not have, clearly from his mother. that he became more strict with him, no more play time, or story books. only training, and sailing knowledge to learn. he began to sail alongside his father and the crew members. and although they never truly manage to harden him, he turn into someone his father was proud.
as a teen he was unruly, one moment he was there, and the next he wasn’t seen for days. catching boats from island to island, partying, fighting, making friends. it was when his father grew tired of his tactics and his marriage was stablish to anicia. at first he had not been in favor of it, eventually he resigned to the idea.
once they were married he cannot lie and say he was indifferent to her, she was a kind beautiful woman, but it was lust more than it had ever been love. and while he admired her and respected her, it eventually began to pull them away. eventually he stopped visiting his bed and started spending more time in others beds.
that’s how he came across cassana, her good nature was bewitching and he could not help but fall for her, a little too fast if anyone ask, and with his track record of going from hot to cold it is worrisome it might happen the same with as with his first wife.
II. EXTRAS & OTHER THINGS
.he became ruling lord when he was twenty-five years old, and master of ships for the iron islands when he was thirty.
he has many scars from sailing with his father when he was only a child, he calls them his battle scars and is proud of them.
something not many know about is in between sails he came across sarisa tully, the man was embellished in her, she became his salt wife. only to find her gone one day without word.

* ── [ anya taylor joy , cis woman , she + her . ] : in the frays of king aerys iii's reign , therein remains kyra fossoway , the twenty - four year old lady of cider hall . rumor has it that their loyalties lie with house tyrell + targaryen and they are neutral to the targaryen reign . they're so discerning + educated that it makes sense , but most seem to look past their garrulous + opportunistic nature . when they come up in conversation , i'm always reminded of licking honey from sticky fingers, elegant neck dripping in freshwater pearls, & a glossy red apple, core black with rot .
cw ─ deaths, abuse, murders.
stats ,
name. kyra fossoway.
age. twenty - four.
titles. lady of cider hall.
gender / pronouns. cis woman / she + her.
sexuality. bisexual.
religion. faith of the seven.
alliance. houses hightower, tyrell, & targaryen.
relationship status. unmarried.
children. none.
history ,
her history’s bloodstained before she even arrives. lord sandor fossoway is a great many things ─ respected, capable, intelligent ─ but he is not kind. he’s a minor lord, selfish and grasping at whatever wisps of power he manages to cling to. his first wife gives him two children, but only one survives to adulthood, and when it becomes clear she’ll give him no more sons, she outlives her usefulness. her death is widely regarded an accident: only the stableboys and washerwomen speak the truth, in hushed tones.
his second wife, lady myranda, is much too young for him, and much more promising. within a year of their marriage she delivers him two children, kyra and davon, twins. lord fossoway has his heir, but the pregnancy takes a toll on lady myranda, and she studiously avoids another pregnancy, through whatever methods she has at her disposal.
when little davon, only six years old, falls ill and dies, a pall falls over the household from which it will never recover. lord fossoway will have his heir if it kills him, while his wife adamantly refuses him. when the second lady fossoway dies, even the household staff know to hold their tongue. kyra’s father doesn’t remarry, despite his efforts ─ even with cider hall’s riches, few lords want to marry their daughters to an old man who’s already lost two healthy young wives.
this is the blood that feeds the ground from which kyra sprouts. and she’s a wretched little creature, girl beaten like hot steel into the shape of a blade. her father gives her half love, half disdain ─ as his daughter, his beauty, his prized mare, she’s perfect. as his heir, she is worth less to him than the dirt under his shoes. despite his hatred of bastards ( dishonorable, dirty ) he invites one of his own to cider hall, training the boy into a son without ever giving him his name. it’s a cruelty, but one kyra rarely acknowledges, absorbed as she is in her own unhappiness.
unhappy as she is, at least kyra learns, and learns fast. this is what she knows: love and family mean nothing, just different words for shackles. nothing she has in this world is hers, and no one will give her more, she must take it. anything worth having is worth bleeding for. if she does not do for herself, who will ? and so she applies herself to becoming the perfect lady, to retaining her slipping grasp on the title of heir to cider hall and keeping her bastard brother’s hands from her birthright.
she goes to king’s landing to serve the queen with only one goal in mind: to climb the ladder, with whatever strength she has. it’s a risk, to leave cider hall to her father’s waning wits, but the opportunities offered by the capital, by the queen’s favor, are too great to pass up.
in the employ of the targaryen queen, she finds herself surprisingly useful. she’s just a young girl, happy to play the fool or the gossip or even the whore if it means gleaning some information to pass on to her mistress. and if she keeps some tidbits to herself, hoarding secrets like precious jewels, who’s to tell ? and if in the end it costs her her head ? well, she’ll be the prettiest face to ever grace the city walls ..
personality ,
+ discerning, educated, graceful, fearless, meticulous.
- garrulous, opportunistic, self-serving, superficial, vengeful.
plots ,
extended family ─ ok so lord fossoway’s had two wives, both of whom don’t have families set yet , if anyone wanted their family to have like ? a dead aunt/cousin/sister/whatever ? and ofc if related to lord fossoway’s second wife they could be kyra’s cousins !
failed betrothal ─ think this would be very fun bc kyra would absolutely be so mad about it. happy to plot details like how / why / when it all went down but honestly her just being a horrible person is good enough reason i think. bonus points if they’re very powerful in some way bc that would piss her off so bad.
flirtationships / fwb ─ so she’ll flirt w. just about anyone because she’s an absolute menace, so i’ll take a bunch of these ! maybe there’s mutual interest, maybe they hate her and cannot stand her annoying teasing, maybe she’s just fucking w. them, maybe she’s hooking up w them for secrets and crimes, maybe they’re high power and she thinks they’ll fall in love w. her, honestly options are endless !
gal pals ─ she’s very girly, likes talking about clothes and romance and especially likes talking shit about other people. that’s literally her favorite pastime. any heinous women out there who would put up w that ? bring ‘em here.
informants ─ people who give her information ( duh kit .. ) maybe they’re friends who don’t realize she’s lowkey selling them out, maybe they’re hooking up for info, maybe they work for a different kingdom & are trading info, maybe they’re actually manipulating her by feeding her bad intel, idk ! have lots of thoughts
bad influence ─ not that she needs it, she’s horrible on her own. but someone who’s trying to use her, & her position / closeness to the queen, for their own advantage ? and i gotta say if they can offer her anything halfway appealing she won’t even hesitate. i hate her
enemies ─ the best, and still my favorite type of plot. don’t even need a single excuse, kyra’s just heinous. was she mean to them ? someone they loved ? do they just see right through her glossy veneer and into the deep emptiness beneath ? do they not trust her ? do they think she’s just a stupid little girl ? are they manipulating her for something, or being manipulated by her ? which one of them will physically threaten the other but with a lil bit of sexual tension thrown in ? many questions .. gimme answers

* ── [ gemma chan , cis female , she/her . ] : in the frays of king aerys iii's reign , therein remains iseult estermont, the thirty four year old lady of greenstone . rumor has it that their loyalties lie with house allyrion/estermont and they are against the targaryen reign . they're so adaptable + ebullient that it makes sense , but most seem to look past their melancholic + wishful nature . when they come up in conversation , i'm always reminded of clinging to joy on a bleak island, upturned noses and condescending looks, strained relations that make one wish for happier days, falling from one family into the arms of another . [ greenie . ]
Name: Iseult Estermont
Nickname: Seul
Alias: The Greenstone Diamond
Age: 34
Height: 5′9 (175.26 cm)
Weight: 145 lbs
Gender/Pronouns: Cis female | she/her
Sexual Orientation: Pansexual
Romantic Orientation: Demiromantic
FAMILY
Father: Ruling Lord Bedivere Estermont
Mother: Ruling Lady Emer Estermont nee Tarth
Uncle: Lord Mordred Estermont, deceased
Siblings: Lord utp Estermont, Lord utp Estermont, Ser utp Waters
Cousins: Members of House Tarth
Children: Lady Adora Allyrion
BACKGROUND
Estermont is a bleak, mountainous little island east of Cape Wrath. More often then not, most travelers daring to sail through Shipbreaker Bay on their way to Storm’s End stop on the island of Tarth. It is on this damp, windswept, poor little island that Iseult Estermont is born.
House Estermont is not the wealthiest minor house, but Iseult is still strictly instructed by the Tarth governess, whom had looked after her mother since the ruling lady was a babe. Her parents were determined to turn their sole daughter into the shiniest gem in all the stormlands.
To this end, a betrothal was arranged when Iseult was but 3, one that would give the Estermonts a needed leg up outside of the South. For while the people that lived on Estermont clung to the joy and happiness they could create, ghosts roamed the halls of Greenstone. And those ghosts craved blood.
But Iseult had never paid those ghosts much mind, for her entire life would now be dedicated to making her the ideal wife for her betrothed. Coin was scraped together to bring a septa to Greenstone, who took over instruction from the Tarth governess when she was 16.
Iseult had little care for the Seven, even if she attended the septa’s lessons faithfully. More often than not, she roamed the moors outside Greenstone, imagining herself some ghostly siren, longing for a love lost and doomed to wander. But, as she reached adulthood, and the day of her impending nuptials came nearer, she gave up those vanity dreams.
Her life would be forever changed the day that Ryon Allyrion docked at the small village that lay at the base of Greenstone. He was not the first she’d ever lain with, but he would be the last for some time. For only a few months after he’d long since departed, Iseult discovered she was with child.
Iseult’s betrothed, slighted by the development, broke off the engagement and seemingly cut all ties with House Estermont. Her parents, seeking some way to salvage the situation, demanded that Ryon marry Iseult. He drew their ire in his refusal, and Iseult felt a slight sting to her pride. Yet, on the whole, she was much relieved, for she had no interest in marrying a man she did not love.
Moving to Godsgrace was an opportunity she was all too happy to leap at, wanting her child to grow up around their siblings. She loved her family dearly, but found a new type of happiness and love in her chosen family. And with a commune of mothers ready to lend a helping hand, motherhood came to suit her quite readily.
She’s quick to say that Adora is all the best parts of both her parents. In reality, however, the precocious eleven-year-old has a stubborn streak that Iseult can easily believe came directly from Ryon. And each day she finds yet another small reason to love her daughter, to thank whatever listens for blessing her with such an intelligent young girl.
MISCELLANEOUS
The former ruling lord of Estermont and his eldest son died fighting off pirates in the Stepstones, on orders from the crown. Iseult’s dad blames the Targaryens for leaving the isles there in constant dispute by the Free Cities, and vowed to melt the family down with their moronic Iron Throne.
The months spent in the South have left a permanently bitter taste on Iseult’s tongue. It leaves her wondering just why the South would fall in line with the Targaryens when the family had shown time and again that their line was more inclined to middling, weak, and psychotic rulers than any actual good ones.

About Zander
Zander was raised by his uncle because his parents died when he was very young. Because he was too young to take his title as Ruling Lord Marbrand, his Uncle acted in his place while he was still learning what his responsibilities meant and what he needed to learn to be the head of his house. Because his uncle was a soldier, a lot of Zander’s childhood and formative years were spent learning how to defend himself. He became a skilled fighter, and even to this day is probably less refined than others would want him to be, because he spent his time training with his uncle instead of focusing on politics and etiquette that an heir to a house like Ashemarke should have been tutored in from a young age.
Because of the circumstances of how he inherited his ruling lord title, he had never given much thought to marriage. He had relationships with women, but never allowed them to progress into anything serious because he fully understood that his duty would be to marry well. He remembered very little about his parents but he did know that they worked well together within their marriage, and he remembered the sense of security that afforded their house and family. Zander wanted the same security in his spouse, so he sought out the help of someone he trusted to help him make a suitable match and find a woman who would become the ruling lady of Ashemark and hopefully work with him in solidifying the position of their house among the other houses of Westeros. He asked Ambrosia Arryn nee Westerling for her assistance in finding a suitable match and ended up becoming engaged to her sister, Circe.
Circe and Zander met on their wedding day - both of them entrusting their future and the match to Rose, and while at first it was merely a partnership- a contract of sorts that linked them together in matrimony, as time went on, Zander fell in love with Circe, and the family that they built together. At this point, he could not live without her, and she and their children are the center of his world - something that both surprised him and terrifies him because he knows how easily things can disappear and the repercussions of investing so much love and care into something that could be taken from you in an instant.
He’s definitely rough around the edges and can be very blunt and honest because he has no interest in manipulating perception. He makes etiquette based mistakes, but he is loyal to and protects the people he loves fiercely and doesn’t hold back.
wanted connections
His two younger sisters - He’s very protective of them, and while their uncle pretty much raised them all, he took on a kind of paternal role to them as well because they were all so young when their parents died. He understands that he is responsible for them and wants whats best for them.
Best friend - someone he trained with maybe? who he brought with him and gave some sort of official role or position within the house. Someone he confides in.

* ── [ tom holland , cis male , he/him . ] : in the frays of king aerys iii's reign , therein remains rhysand greyjoy, the twenty - five year old prince of the iron islands . rumor has it that their loyalties lie with house greyjoy and they are against the targaryen reign . they're so quick witted + athletic that it makes sense , but most seem to look past their condescending + uncaring nature . when they come up in conversation , i'm always reminded of an axe covered in blood , the face of an angel with the influence of the devil , rough seas on a stormy day .
i ––––– general
name : rhysand greyjoy
nicknames : rhys
alias : demon from the depths
alliance : greyjoy
titles : prince of the iron islands, lord of pyke (?)
marital status : has a salt wife
children : none that he knows about
ii ––––– personal
sexual orientation : bisexual
romantic orientation : demiromantic
moral alignment : chaotic neutral
sins : lust / gluttony / greed / sloth / wrath / pride / envy
virtues : chastity / temperance / charity / diligence / patience / kindness / humility
iii ––––– biography
the youngest of the greyjoy siblings, rhysand is very much the baby of the family. his mother died bringing him into this world and his father held very little interest for him giving his eldest brother already had an heir by the time rhysand was only a year old.
he was never the type to delve too deeply into that lack of parental love, instead enjoying the fact that he had so much freedom. the household looked out for him most of the time, though once he was old enough many of his days were spent with the master-at-arms.
he dedicated a lot of his life to training. there were certain expectations of a greyjoy, and rhysand was hardly about to be accused of not meeting them.
he’s an adept fighter, both agile and quick in his movements. he’s especially skilled with hand to hand combat, swordfighting, and is also very partial to his dual axes. usually walks around with one strapped to each hip on any given day.
he’s been on a ship from the moment he could walk and was told to learn the ropes from the ground up, to prove that he was worthy of the greyjoy name and everything that came with it.
there’s nothing rhys hates more than being view as incompetent, so prove himself he did. he laughed when the sea was rough and he revelled in having rough callous hands and the mouth of a sailor. eventually, when he had proved himself, much of that crew came with him when he received his own ship, windbreaker. now, he has a small fleet behind him.
he’s been very back and forth from the islands for years now. while he is so utterly ironborn in every way, he feels a little purposeless there. part of him does revel in such freedoms though and he’s filled such a void with merely following his every whim. he went where he liked, made friends with who he liked, slept with who he liked. he’d always liked the way his title of prince carried out in the islands, but he liked the way it held people’s attention even more in essos and other parts of westeros.
most people seem to see his face and think that he’s kind, but they couldn’t be more wrong. this is a man who will smile serenely and then say whatever thought first pops into his head. one of his favourite activities is seeing the shock on other people’s faces because he’s said something terrible.
genuinely such a shit stirrer, he likes to start drama over little things and doesn’t put much stock in creating true connections with people.
got the nickname of demon from the depths for that alone and it’s a title he wears proudly.
already so sorry for the shit that comes out of this mans mouth.
iv ––––– tidbits
probably does have a couple of bastard kids out there somewhere, the man is intelligent with sea battle strategy but anything else? dumb man. head empty, no thoughts but the nonsense that comes out of his mouth.
doesn’t like the thought of having an actual rock wife, but he sees salt wives as basically the equivalent of dornish paramours so he has one ( consensually ofc, fuck got lore )
got run out of a city in essos because he played up the fact that he was a prince and accidentally started an uprising against their leader and he was like me? in charge of things? absolutely not, and the people did not like that one bit.
terrible as he is, he tends to be extremely protective of the people he cares about and his family especially. don’t get me wrong, he’s still an asshole 95% if the time to them, but he’s the only one allowed to be an asshole to them.
v ––––– wanted connections
salt wife: gonna send this into the main, but they’re together for all the wrong reasons. he likes her because he thinks having her on his arm makes him more desirable and he likes having hedonistic energy around all the time. she likes his title and the status he gives her. terrible match honestly, it’s gonna be great.
friends he’s not as much of an asshole too: probably other ironborn for the most part, though can be from anywhere given he does travel a fair bit back and forth from the islands. these are the people that usually get the better of him rather than the worst.
enemy: somebody that he likely has some kind of rivalry with or seems to get into fights with every single time they run into each other.
sparring buddy: someone who challenges him and is definitely helping make him an even better fighter.
hook ups: self explanatory.

word vomit pls bear with me but ive highlighted important details
adopted daughter of house manderly. has never met her real parents, and at this point, she has stopped thinking about them almost completely
the love and care provided to her by the manderly’s left little room for wanting.
but as anyone with a healthy curiosity, she used to wonder who her real parents were. why they gave her up, where she came from. maybe at some point, she sat by her window thinking a raven would swoop in with a message from them. maybe at some point, she tried to find out. asked around, bothered. expected. maybe countless days and nights were spent staring at the sky, thinking familiar figures would descend from the sun and moon. faces that resembled the girl in the mirror.
but it doesn’t take long for her to figure out that reality never catches up to the imagination. no ravens come, and the sun and moon are just unmoving things in the sky. at some point, she stops thinking of them. stops asking and expecting.
she moves forward, because that’s the path of least resistance. she does as she’s told, because that’s the easiest thing to do. she has seen. time and time again, what happens when the imagination feels cheated and admiration becomes disappointment, so she does all she needs to do.
does the bare minimum but nothing less. the only thing she really cares about is doing what she likes and not disappointing her family. she’ll exert herself and sacrifice in the pursuit of only these two things.
finds out early on that life is easier when you pretend not to know things. she lives by this now. her dogma. because when people think you don’t know, they leave you alone or they do it for you. either way, that’s one less thing for her to do. she has found that when people know things, they come to expect it. so, she figures, better err on the safe side.
now, she’s a floater. no burning passions or big dreams. she just wants to live life, make friends, and have a good time. but at the same time, imbued with a deep sense of duty. dedication laying dormant, like a flint waiting for a spark.
about her parents actually the bastard child of insert southern westerosi lord here and a bed-slave from lys. she was conceived and born in lys, but her mother wanted her to have a different life. she stole away and sailed to westeros with alisa, thinking it a good idea to find her father and have him raise her. thought he’d give her a good life. resting at an inn one night when they’re attacked by masked men, they manage to escape, and her mother heads as far in the opposite direction as she can. her mother succumbs to the cold, but not before securing alisa’s future.
* plot ideas / wanted connections
some plots might close when others are taken. available not on a first come first serve basis but based on chemistry betw characters!
( req. southern lord, 43+ y.o ) her biological dad kkkkkk might put this up as a wc idk yet idk yet
baed on THIS alisa's big fat crush lmfao a huge crush she has like man shes got it bad!!! down horrendous for someone who straightup avoids going to white harbor atp even for official business duties bec they always end up beguiled into staying for literal months and neglecting duties back home because [reasons stated in pic] but alisa starting to feel like theyre avoiding her(CONFLICT) her bday is coming up though so she will force them to visit(: doesnt have to be requited or a ship although i do have my sailor cap ready could be fun and light could be angst idk shes just a jelly doughnut except instead of jelly shes filled with love. bonus pts if theyre doomy and gloomy type/vibe but not a req also open to guys gals and pals
( req. someone grumpy or stoic ) grumpy/sunshine trope ?? pls or like sunshine/sunshine protector ugh.....
( req. fellow trickster just like someone who also manipulates or knows more than they let on etc, possible romance plot bec this is the best romance option i see for her ) they see right through each other and challenge each other in a healthy way that fosters self improvement for both of them. they’re both headstrong and intelligent, which is exactly what they both need.
( req. model noble type ) a fellow noble who sees right through alisa’s constant attempts at tricking people into doing things for her. they try to lecture her, change her for the better. and yet, always somehow end up victim to the very tricks they try to steer her away from.
( req. a Nice Person ) they get seriously hurt doing something alisa tricked them into doing but they’re such a peach they’re like no its ok dw abt it i was happy to do it its ok ! but alisa feels weirdly guilty so she keeps trying to bring them stuff and even.....does things for them
someone whose family she’s so unprecedentedly curious about. through the years, without meaning to, they’ve fed her their entire family’s history. break out the family photo album when she visits their stronghold. orrrrr, maybe she’s actually curious about the person themself. . . ? ( possible crush plot ! )
( req. maybe someone hotheaded or gets involved in a lot of fights brawls etc ) a dear friend of hers who’s always getting into fights. she has patched up their wounds many, many times, and doesn’t tire of gently advising them to stop getting involved in brawls. “come on, let’s get you to the infirmary. you look ghoulish.”
the two of them are jokey flirty friends always kidding around about betrothals and marriages. it’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye, as it were. ( intentionally vague hehe im thinking it could go fun genuine friends route like theyre just super comfy with each other and have a deep understanding of each others limits so they can joke around its just the nature of their friendship to be flirty and playful OR a more srs angsty pining route where shit hits the fan when someone actually gets involved with someone else or like someone bring up For Real getting married and the other person responds in a way that doesnt make them happy etc all that drama, lets brainstorm
( req. someone neat and organized and not lazy or maybe loves cleaning lol idk, probably would suit someone from the north, probably a noble ) childhood friends. alisa used to get so excited for their visits. they’d have slumber parties and build sprawling blanket forts in alisa’s room and stay up until odd hours, just talking and talking. of course, after they were done, alisa would leave all the blankets and pillows lying around. this person always cleaned up their mess, and then some. alisa’s room was always cleaner than it was before they arrived. some things never change . . . ? ( setting the scene for possible wholesome bff forever thing theyre the pair laughing behind their hands gossiping about everyone OR angsty childhood friends fell apart bec of insert reason here all that awkward staring across the room and sitting next to each other quietly at dinner....mmmm. idk lets brainstorm ! )
theyre clueless about jewelry but want something special to give their insert loved one here. she helps them!!! if only because she thinks theyre so hopelessly clueless and knows they won’t ever do a good job
they don’t get swayed by her compliments and smiles. it frustrates her, if honest. especially because she really needs [insert thing here] from them.
