✦ ▓ AND WHO GOES THERE? oh, it’s just [ JEYNE WESTERLING ]. some say [ HER ] resemblance to [ ADRIA ARJONA ] is almost uncanny, but the [ TWENTY-SEVEN ] year old has been in the capital for [ ALL HER LIFE ]. many suspect that they are the notorious [ SURGEON ] of the [ LANNISTER ] family: perhaps that has made them [ UNASSUMING ] && [ DECEITFUL ] , when they used to be so [ TENDERHEARTED ] && [ FILIAL ]. during the daylight hours, [ JEYNE ] can be found working as a [ SURGICAL INTERN ], but when night falls over king’s landing, they are best remembered listening to [ IF IT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER BY KIRA ]. may the gods be with them in these dark streets.
this was lowkey an impulse decision but meera said she was going to apply for cersei and i saw that there was a need for lannister-allied people so .... here she is, the new loml. feel free to slide into my dms for plots !!
footsteps in the sand
jeyne could distinctly remember the day she found out about the mafia. she was very young, but old enough to memorize every detail of the scene. you see, it was really gawen’s fault, having brought little jeyne along to a collection one night after picking her up one evening from soccer practice. he had told her to stay in the car with a grunt and shut the door behind him, leaving her to watch as he hobbled into the small corner store with a hand shoved into his coat pocket.
she was bored, as all children were with nothing to do, and peeled at the car’s upholstery when she heard a loud firecracker of a sound followed by a scream. thinking her father was in trouble, jeyne scrambled out and peered into the shop window where she saw a middle aged man keened over and blood running down the side of his leg. she watched in horror as her father read the charges again. something about the iron bank and how the lannisters were waiting for this month’s payment. the man said something again that she couldn’t hear and with a flick of his wrist, her father struck him with the barrel of his handgun.
it was miraculous how jeyne didn’t make a noise, just froze and watched as her father beat a man into a whimpering mess. she didn’t realize it until her father was already turning on the engine that she was back in her seat, fist in her mouth to keep from sobbing. she kept it to herself the car ride home and broke only once she got under her covers.
from then on she paid very close attention to the things gawen did, the things he said, the people he spent time with. it was later confirmed to her, a few years later, when she was a little older and she saw tywin lannister for the first time at a lannister family function. a statuesque man who brought her father to his knees. he wanted a better position, he’d said, one better fitting of a man who had served the lannisters loyally for decades. jeyne never heard the tail end of the conversation, having been whisked away to play with her siblings.
she kept this secret for most of her teen years, ready to hold it inside of her until she could eventually leverage it to free her family from whatever hold the lannisters had on the westerlings. it was naive of her to think she could save her family, once she realized the lions had claimed her older brother too. jeyne confronted raynald, revealing all she knew and in a screaming match, revealed her hand to her brother as well as her father.
gawen wasn’t as furious as she thought he’d be, almost as if he had expected her to know. what made her angrier was the notion that her mother knew too --- in fact, sybell had been encouraging gawen and raynald to progress in the crime syndicate. jeyne had been played by her family, and brokenhearted, left king’s landing for university, vowing to do good in order to counteract whatever cosmic karma that could be brought down on the westerlings. she had hope, even if it was just towards her younger siblings, that she could save an ounce of their souls.
she came back to the city eventually, primarily for medical school but also because her younger sister, eleyna was getting older and out of fear that sybell would sell her and jeyne’s youngest sibling to the lannisters as well, jeyne volunteered herself to become one of the lannister’s surgeons.
she had mastered sutures from stitching up bullet and stab wounds before she ever stepped into an official operating room, and at the beginning of her surgical internship at north wall memorial, saved a dying man from an opposing family’s attack. it still unsettled her, how she was saving the lives of these wicked people, but she was still lying in wait, collecting information between lannister men and trying to find some way to dismantle the iron bank from the inside.
when tywin died she chalked it up to a silent victory, a chink in the golden armor. but then she had been summoned by cersei lannister, unassuming herself but still a lioness by heart, and what happened next, jeyne could not predict.
cersei had positioned herself at the seat of her late father and was propositioning jeyne to be her eyes and ears on the inside. she had seen jeyne lurk in the shadows, observing, watching and wanted to use her talent to protect her claim. of course, jeyne refused but her refusal led straight to the mysterious killing of her dear brother and the abduction of her father.
cersei knew where to hit jeyne the hardest as the love the girl had for her family was apparent. she would do anything for their safety, and so she agreed to do the key master’s bidding, spying on the members of the iron bank and reporting it all to her.
jeyne was now deeper in the belly of the beast than she ever wanted to be, but as much as she hated herself for it, she knows she needs to do whatever cersei says in order to save her family.
wanted connections
questioning beliefs; jeyne is a lannister by association but she sure would like to be anything but. it’d be a long shot but if anyone could ensure the safety of her family, she’ll bite. even if it was a false promise, we could plan out something that could end in disaster.
friend request sent; by night she’s a surgeon to one of king’s landing’s most notorious families but by day she tries to be a normal young woman with a kind temperament on her way to being a doctor. she’s pretty friendly, although her resting bitch-face says otherwise, and she’s easy to make smile despite all that’s going wrong in her life.
frequent flyer; she works in the hospital’s free clinic and in the emergency room sometimes during her shifts so maybe she helps patch you up after a brawl or a particularly bad session at the red keep.
different strings; jeyne wears her heart on her sleeve which makes her easily manipulated. her current puppet master is cersei but that doesn’t mean jeyne can’t be used by someone else too, either knowingly or unknowingly.
