“Ser Boros is a worrisome man, my Lady, but you’ve even tried to kill him?” Lyla exclaimed, forcibly linking her arm with Greta’s for protection - if the Lady of House Whitehill couldn’t keep her safe, who could?

Such gall Lady Whitehill had to admit to attempted murder out in the open. Lyla admired it, and was glad to be under the wing of such a woman.

1. How does your character think of their father? What do they hate and love about him? What influence - literal or imagined - did the father have? 

Rhaesa  didn’t  dislike   her father,    but she wasn’t necessarily close to him either. She held more of a respect for him than much else,    never really clicking with him. Rhaesa never really was affectionate with most, but she did spare a few scraps of it for him… Though anyone who knew her before everything went to hell probably knows that she was far closer with her uncle than she ever was with her father. She probably picked up a few elements of who she ended up as from him.

8. How does your character feel about religion?

Rhaesa doesn’t really have any set view on religion. She has some level of belief in the old gods, but she is anything but a devout worshiper of them. She used tohave more faith but as she grew she gathered the opinion that if the gods were out there they probably weren’t listening to her or anyone else.

“Ha! You’re telling me.” She’s pissed off her face, and drinking more alcohol as the night goes on. 

“It’s almost like, I had the chance to be happy, or normal, instead of keeping that cunt happy..” She’s talking about Joffrey, glowing over her cup at him.

7. What was the economic status of their family?

House Brownbarrow is a house of minor nobility in the North, so they’re not one of the wealthiest houses in the North. Since their main produce is grain (and they likely make a sizable amount of gold from that) I’d say they’re of moderate wealth.

29. What is your character’s weaknesses? Hubris? Pride? Controlling?

Meghan’s biggest weakness is her love for her family and friends. 

For Hallis I’d say his weakness is coming across as too cowardly, and hesitation to make definate choices.

40. How is their sense of humor? Do they have one?

I imagine Namond sense of humor to be very... dry and very dull. Not much catches him, and when it does all he emits is a short, slow, dry chuckle.

32. How does your character react to stress situations? Defensively? Aggressively? Evasively?

It depends on the situation. If there’s competition or someone calling her out, Lyarra will react aggressively. If I recall correctly there was a time she punched Namond in the stomach and knocked him to the ground for calling her out about Ostyn. If the situation scares her, however (see S2AU), she’ll try to avoid it and keep away.

25. What are their hobbies and interests?

I think Kyra likes to play with other kids - active playing, like hide and seek or monsters and maidens. Well, she would if the smallfolk kids didn’t laugh at her stutter. I think when the trinity comes together she’ll be a lot more happy - I think Winnie likes to play hide and seek and Roslin would love it.

Other than that, Kyra probably likes to read and write with her uncle, probably scrawling drawings into his books. I imagine she spends a lot of time clinging to Syrena’s arm or hiding behind her skirts, and can sometimes be found in the kitchens, sampling for the cooks (though I think she avoids lemon cakes these days :( ).

21. What are your character’s manners like? What is their type of hero? Whom do they hate?

Val has ‘good’ table manners, because she copies and mocks people so subtly that they don’t realise she’s doing it. I think she probably idolises Winnie of all people to some degree because of her take-no-shit demeanour, but no one is really her ‘hero’.

White: 3 facts about my personality (lol, this gonna be hard)

1. I absolutely suck at talking about my personality.

2. I have love for every creature living on this planet, and despise pointless killing and violence.

3. At the same time, I often find myself imagining me killing and mutilating people when I'm sad or angry.

This was awkward, now let's move on with our lives and talk about my homicidal child's childhood.

Yellow: 7 facts about my childhood

1. As a newborn he was abandoned by his mother hours after birth. Lady Whitehill provided his father with help and advice about how to take care of him, which probably saved his life (we talked about this, I just wanted to share it with public).  

2. Sword/fist fighting used to be one of Harys' favorite activities, his size, agility and eagerness allowing him to win most of his fights with both equal and bigger/stronger opponents even before starting his actual training as a squire. Riding horses and taking care of them, however, has always been his favorite activity, above all others.

3. Despite that, most of the fights he got into were just for fun. He never participated in bullying or harassing anyone, especially weaker or younger than him - he was more likely to stand up for those, who were bullied. Hard to imagine as it is, Harys was an extremely friendly kid, willing to go out of his way to help and befriend practically anyone he came across.

4. He has always been noticeably taller than kids of the same age, which caused teasing from the majority of them. None of their jokes ever got through to him.

5. He had real trouble learning how to read and write. The man he squired for started teaching him when he was twelve years old and lacked perseverance, as well as free time for it. He eventually overcame those difficulties, having a very patient and smart teacher. After his death at war Harys stopped any practice, which affected his skills poorly, and was likely to have trouble reading and writing for the rest of his life, if it wasn't for him befriending Gryff, which ended in him taking care of the fourthborn in a lot of ways, including reading him stories when he was still a child.

6. Harys was ten years old when he tried alcohol for the first time, dared to drink a full flask of wine by his older friend. He did it, though it made him violently sick and repulsed him from drinking for several years. At the moment he is anything but repulsed by alcohol, though he still avoids red wine, which is a too strong reminder of that accident for him.
