Members of House Connell 🐺
House Connell, one of the oldest and most distinguished noble families in the realm, resides in the harsh and frosty northern lands. Renowned for their pride and battle prowess, the Connells are a formidable house with a legacy steeped in warfare and resilience.
The Duke of Kardia (Lonkalt) Lord Gerard Connell
FC: Richard Armitage
Gerard's stern nature and high expectations often put him at odds with his family. He is frequently disappointed by his legitimate children, who do not meet his exacting standards. Sometimes finds himself considering whether his bastard son might be a more worthy successor. Unlike his legitimate children, the bastard shows a resilience and strength that he respects. This internal conflict further complicates his relationships within the family, as he grapples with the notion that his true heir might lie outside the bounds of legitimacy.
The Duchess, Lady Naraina Delaney
FC: Andy McDowell
Originating from the east, Naraina struggled to adjust to the cold northern climate and the stern ways of her husband. Her initial inability to bear children caused strain in their marriage, exacerbated by the birth of a bastard child when Gerard sought an heir elsewhere. Despite these challenges, she gave birth to three children, the first of whom was sickly, which further complicated her position in the family.
(The Heir) Lord Roderick Connell (Roderick the soft)
3 years older than MC
FC: Timmy Chalamet
Born prematurely and sickly, Roderick’s early years were marked by frequent illnesses and a fragile constitution. His father’s harsh expectations and constant reminders of his weakness have deeply affected Roderick, making him introspective and driven to prove himself. Despite his physical limitations, he possesses a sharp mind, with a passion for artistry often escaping into painting and music, much to his father's disappointment.
The Second child- Lady Dreana Connell
3 years younger than MC
FC: Natalie Dyer
The blind second born child of Gerard and Naraina, Dreana is known for her quiet, dutiful nature—a soft-spoken, obedient girl who rarely challenges her parents' wishes. Her gentle presence soothes the more chaotic edges of her household, and many see her as a fragile, sweet soul shaped by her blindness. She has learned to wield pity like a tool, using others’ compassion to get what she wants without ever needing to raise her voice. She’s not cunning in the traditional sense, nor cruel, but her manipulation is instinctive, masked beneath innocence and sweetness. Still, when things don’t go her way—when she's dismissed or underestimated—her facade cracks, and flashes of entitlement, frustration, and sharp-tongued spite reveal something more volatile beneath. Secretly, she harbours a hopeless crush on Ser Damon Lavone, the dashing heir of the East.
The Third Child - Lord Ulric Connell
4 years younger than MC
FC:IDK Daniel Radcliffe
The youngest of the Connell children, Ulric idolises his father and seeks to emulate his strength and ambition. However, his brash nature and lack of finesse often lead him into trouble. Ulric is driven by a desire to prove himself but lacks the cunning and strategic mind of Gerard. His impulsiveness and straightforward thinking make him more of a blunt instrument in the family’s political machinations.
