Okay so I've been lowkey obsessed with the Iron Islands and believe we need more self inserts and ocs from there 🤔
King Daeron II's reign was all about creating alliances through marriage and trying to create one with the Iron Islands to try and bring them into the fold would make sense.
like imagine a woman from House Farwynd, the weirdest, most isolated Ironborn house, being married into House Targaryen for example.
She has a fear and distrust of maesters and their "sorcery", believes they are working for the Storm God 😭
Claims she's going to dry out and perish at least once a week or more because she's been away from the sea for so long. She fears the Drowned God cannot see her or hear her since she's so far from him. Dislikes septons and septas, does not want them near her. Dislikes the Faith of the Seven in general. Will likely have a panic attack if she's ever forced into attending service in the Sept. She finally gets to visit a body of water and she almost drowns herself. She claims she was just trying to greet the Drowned God 😭 Likely has a tendency to walk around without shoes or stockings because she's used to walking barefoot along the shore at home. Has sex with her husband and she's like "you kept me from wilting away ☺️". She definitely tries to sleep out on the balcony when it's raining because it reminds her of home. Has a goal to catch sight of the Drowned God one day.
Like I just want the most strange, fearful, superstitious Ironborn girl ever to be paired with one of the akotsk men lol. The only thing is I can't decide which character. All of them would be kinda funny.
Maekar seems like a good option because it's also logical because at that point Maekar is just the 4th son who has lost his wife and already has 6 children so marrying him to a mad girl wouldn't matter that much. And them clashing would be funny to me.
But her with Daeron would be interesting because Daeron just goes with the flow. She lays dramatically on their bed claiming to be drying out and will turn to dust soon due to being away from the sea and Daeron is like "...would wine help?". She also acts as a weighted blanket to him because she will straddle him and lay across his chest and tell him stories about the seals and whales of her home. He drinks while she gossips to him about who she thinks is working for the Storm God and Daeron just agrees all like "Yes wife, that septon is definitely a Storm God spy. I’ll drink to that."
Aerion would be disastrous but intriguing because it's man who believes himself to be a dragon versus woman who believes she needs to live in the sea. They will somewhat bond over their dislike of the Faith of the Seven.
Heck, even Lyonel would be an option. Imagine him going on an adventure to the Iron Islands and he brings home with him the odd girl that charmed him during his visit 😭 he'll need to keep an eye on her around Shipbreaker Bay though... she'll either try to throw herself in to see the Drowned God or becomes afraid and tells Lyonel that the water is so violent and wild due to the Storm God. She clutches his sleeve, looks up at him with wide eyes, and tells him "the Storm God is at work here!" and might become distressed because she doesn't know how to banish him. She only knows a blood sacrifice might appease the Storm God but unfortunately Lyonel will not allow it 😞
