more information

Born the youngest daughter of House Reed, Braelynn grew up wild and free. Often she could be found running through the halls of Greywater Watch as a child, evading maid and tutor alike. She would spend hours climbing trees and hiding amidst their branches as caregivers called her name from below. Lessons? Yuck. Bedtime? Even worse! From the start she wanted to live life on her own terms, on her own schedule, which was no schedule!

Not one for needle point and penmanship, Braelynn always preferred to be out in the training ring, practicing archery and sword play. Over time she became very skilled with a bow and a blade, agile and quick. Her abilities have earned her the place of her brother’s personal guard, protecting him from those who may wish to harm him should they discover his abilities.

the fourth born and third son, cemal was able to find freedom growing up that might not have been available to his older siblings. he was known to run around highgarden, pulling pranks and hiding away in the gardens and mazes so no one could find him. he was definitely the cause of many headaches for his parents. however, it didn't stop cem from being a momma's boy, commonly trailing after pakize and pretending he was her sworn shield with his, at the time, wooden toy sword.

cem learned how to be more poised with age, containing his more unfavorable traits and temper behind charming smiles and polished words, a fitting image for a rose from highgarden. the result was a contrasting reputation for the third son. some believed the image he convincingly presented and spoke of the golden rose that resembled a knight from songs: handsome, charismatic, and gallant. others, however, saw glimpses of his more rotten traits, his arrogance and selfishness. the truth, like most truths, sat in the middle of both views.

spent a few years in king's landing when he was a teenager, serving as a squire for a knight of the kingsguard, a position his parents secured for him. the minute he was knighted at fifteen, a testament to his skill, cemal returned home.

he split his time between highgarden and traveling around the southern kingdom with his band of friends. occasionally he ventured further north or south, but preferred staying closer to home. cem definitely behaved more recklessly when traveling with his friends, drinking and flirting and causing some occasional trouble. but if he was ever invited into another noble's keep, he was the perfect gentleman.

cemal had always been a flirtatious man but he rarely stayed with one person for long, resulting in a string of former flings, some more public than others. one of these flings resulted in the woman falling pregnant. while cem made it clear he had no intentions of marrying her, he did try having a civil, co-parenting relationship for the sake of his daughter, aylin. however, the women ended up leaving with no warning and hasn't even written since, cementing a deep hatred within cemal toward her - not for leaving him but for abandoning their daughter.

𝐝𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐬

the half brother to the late king rhaegel, they share a father but different mothers. his mother was the second queen + much younger than the first, which always did make a point of contention between the children. 

he’s always been a second son, mostly born of his mother’s desire for a child. thankfully the focus was always on his older brother and then rhaegel’s children, so luc has managed to get away with far more than any others in his position. most often he’d be used as a bargaining chip in some marriage alliance, but a string of broken betrothals said otherwise.

even an uncle to the current targaryen line, he’s not much older than the elder children so it’s always been an interesting dynamic. even still, he’s actually pretty soft with his brother’s children and cares for them greatly (this started as a thankfulness of them keeping the eyes on themselves, but morphed into a real love of his family)

when his father died shortly into his life, it was written in the will that luc and his mother would be given summerhall to rule. he grew up there, but was frequently brought around the others as his mother thought it important to maintain a close family bond. he didn’t know it then, but it was out of fear that eventually rhaegel may not enjoy having an brother so close to his own childrens’ ages so that he may be able to challenge aedar’s reign come time. even still, he never quite felt like a brother to rhaegel so much as an annoyance.

his mother fostered a laziness in him that sort of cut his ambition, yet another thing he looks back at now and sees she did for his own protection.

luc has always been a hard shell sort of man, brash, cocky, full of ego and an asshole that uses his behavior to keep others at bay. he just doesn’t trust easily and never has.

though he is mischievous and playful around his family, often poking for fun and throughly enjoying pestering his brother’s children.

has always been a scholar and has quite the memory. knows so much westerosi history it’s honestly not even funny. it’s a kink, i think, him needing to know things and always being right.

he likes getting his way and will push and manipulate until he does tbh, he’s hella charming and persuasive when he wants to be.

he’s chaotic but he’s not evil ? he’s selfish, but he has no real ambition in life either so it’s not like he’s really after anyone or anything anyone has unless it’s their wife or husband probably.

over all content with no responsibility till the end of his days but then his damn nephew decided let’s start this bullshit.

additions bc we grow !

in his youth he fathered a child, has no idea of their existence.

in that youth he was also forced into many betrothals that were for alliance or gain for house targaryen and not of any interest to him. many fell through for various reasons, but one finally stuck.

he was forced to wed a (then) future ruling lady of house swann. they were married for 6 years and had 3 children before ending things. neither wished to be forced into a marriage and so they chose not to be any longer. the children remained in stonehelm and eventually she became the ruling lady. this betrothal was chosen bc any children he’d have would not bear the name house targaryen as their mother was the future of the house and they would need to have her name. it was a cruel reminder to luc that he was both expendable and unimportant, nor would he be allowed to add to the targaryen line.

he’s never married again nor was a betrothal forced. he spent the rest of his days in summerhall or traveling and happy to never step foot near king’s landing until now.

𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐭𝐬 / 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬

⟿ 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. growing up, being the youngest lannister only made their father shy away from him more and more. between longing to please his father and also realizing how impossible that would be, he turned out to be a more sinister lannister.

⟿ 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, lannisport and casterly rock alike. 

⟿ 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. draven is very much short-tempered and has so shame or feelings of guilt for speaking his mind. he usually won’t trust anyone but a lannister. 

⟿ 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.

⟿  cannot  even  count  how  many  people  he's  most  likely  slept  with,  but  as  for  betrothals,  he  has  most  definitely screwed up betrothals on purpose.

🌘    »    beneath dragon scales  :

since she was young, visera has always felt as if her life existed in limbo. born on dragonstone to the eldest princess of the southern kingdom, her blood holds the key to the power house targaryen holds — but the locks have been changed. her silver hair and lilac eyes are characteristic of her valyrian ancestry, but her slightly upturned nose, her strong hands belong to her father’s house. she has always been too much a targaryen for the smallfolk, but not enough of one for the nobles.

bearing the surname waters, visera has access to a world that she wouldn’t if she had been born a true targaryen. being bastard-born, people act around her in a way that they would never around southern monarchs. the shift in the way certain people treat her mother or even her younger sister rhaenara to the way they treat visera herself has always been visible to her, as if she were looking at life and people through a different lens than others in her life were equipped with. visera is naturally observant, determined to notice things that others cannot. though she tends to be loud in her happiness, having yelled her way through her childhood to the point where her adult voice is slightly raspy, she can choose be quiet when it counts — keeping to herself in order to be present without being noticed. that said, she often tends to create secrets where they might not actually be — digging too far into something has resulted in her fabricating stories that are almost unbelievable more than once, and though she’s aware of this flaw, she still continues to hunt for bits of knowledge that she likely should not seek.

that said, you will likely not find visera unless she wants to be found. she takes after her aunts and uncles, but she looks up to pim in particular — she’s gotten quite adept at travelling via the shadows as pim does, if only through close observation and sheer desire to be like them.

visera knows how lucky she is to be embraced by her mother’s family, even if her grandfather and the current targaryen king refuse to legitimize her. she knows she is loved deeply by her mother and younger half sister rhaenara, whom she can often be found playing with in the red keep, on dragonstone, or in rook’s rest. she tends to follow where her mother and sister go, and will never be in king’s landing if they are not. she is most comfortable on dragonstone, where we was rocked to sleep to the sound of storms echoing through the stone drum as a babe. 

as she is not a targaryen by name, visera is not held to the same expectations that her mother and other relatives have been. elaena always allowed visera to do as she pleased growing up, and the world that her mother had created for her has always been in the palm of visera’s hand. she had the freedom to run amok, and run amok she did. close combat has always called to visera, the thought of besting someone on her own without help one that never failed to thrill her. she could often be found in the courtyard as a child, beating the flower bushes into submission with wooden swords. 

tw: death, violence as she matures, visera has become an adept and rather unrelenting swordsman. she knows not of the concept of mercy, nor her own limits — which is what resulted in her injuries sustained during the attack at the draconidis ball. sporting a recently stitched up gash on her left forearm and a fading black eye from the hilt of an attacker’s sword, visera feels a rush of pride each time she looks in the mirror. her wounds are reminders that she was able to defend her mother and those she loves, as well as fell her first enemy in battle. she has put up with maesters and septas fussing over her, if only to bask in the glory of her battle wounds a little bit longer. as far as she is concerned, there isn’t an opponent in westeros that she couldn’t spar into submission.

HISTORY

born to a family who didn’t desire children but pawns to further their ambitions, halaena’s childhood was full of everything except love. she was scolded heavily by her mother for even the smallest mistakes until she quickly learned not to make them.even from a young age everyone praised the florents for what a perfect daughter their second youngest was. heleana looked the part; she knew all her courtesies, possessed a singing voice that charmed many, and never put a toe out of line. but rhae florent didn’t want a gentle daughter so she crafted helaena into a blade.

she was taught to wield a bow and arrow and, knowing failure wasn’t an option, practiced for long hours until she could best even the finest knights in service to house florent. however, it was the lessons on poisons that her mother taught her under the cover of darkness that would become helaena’s greatest weapon. 

as soon as helaena was old enough, she was sent away to king’s landing to serve pimchanok targaryen as their lady-in-waiting with instructions from her mother to make herself invaluable so house florent would have an in with the royal family. while she proved to be a perfect lady-in-waiting, to the surprise of none, she proved herself even more valuable in another way. often going unseen about court, helaena easily overheard numerous conversations, all of which she would relay back to the princess.

eventually she was sent back to the reach with instructions to keep pim informed on the happenings in the region, a task she took very seriously. her exit of king’s landing had been surrounded by carefully orchestrated whispers about a minor falling out so people would doubt that laena and pim were as close as they had previously been - thus, allowing helaena to operate as her spy without anyone suspecting her but also not making people think the two hated each other.

helaena traveled often throughout the reach upon her return, staying with multiple families and gathering a loyal network of servants who would report back to her with information that she could then send to pim.

she spent a fair amount of time with her mother’s family at southshield, which is originally how her paths crossed with kaelys greyjoy. what started as a friendship soon developed into something more. had her mother learned that she’d fallen into a relationship with the crown princess of the iron islands, she would have been delighted, but laena, desperate for one aspect of her life untouched by politics and scheming, kept the relationship a secret. she thought that would keep it safe, but it fell apart anyway and hatred filled the void in her heart.

years passed and heleana immersed herself in the political world of westeros. a faithful ally, she never failed her mistress and her successes elevated house florent as they gained increasing favor with the royal family. she had done her duty, the one she had been raised for, and she was only beginning.

many betrothals for heleana had been discussed in the past but none took until her mother got word that the new ruling lady of seagard was in search for a spouse. seeing the opportunity, her mother didn’t hesitate to put heleana’s name forward and make it the most appealing one. she was only informed of the when the betrothal was finalized. while she reluctant at first, not wanting to live in the riverlands or give up her position as one of the princess’s spies, heleana soon understood what her mother had. cailin mallister was not only head of a powerful house but she sat on the northern council, gaining her trust and ear would be a valuable asset, and thus the plan was agreed upon.

when she was prepared to meet her future bride, they dressed her in florent colors, a reminder of her blood. her mother told her that people would soon call her helaena of seagard but she would remain halaena of brightwater keep, and when trouble, or even war, came she would be their hidden dagger.

EXTRA

heleana hides her true self extremely well. she’s had years to perfect her facade and has done so with very little errors. practically everyone only knows her as the polite, courteous, but quiet daughter of house florent without suspecting that anything nefarious lurks beneath the surface. it’s why she’s been so successful as a spy. 

has absolutely killed people in the past who were threats to either house florent, pimchanok, or the crown. she is afraid to get her hand dirty in order to achieve her goals and feels very little remorse for her actions. in her eyes, she is doing what she must in order to protect the people she cares for and also the south as a whole. while her favored method is poison, she has in the past employed servants to carry out some of her tasks - always making certain to silence them once they finish.

she’s buried her heart deep. over the years and ever since her relationship with kaelys, helaena has closed herself off, believing it only gets in the way and would therefore put her in danger. however, her heart isn’t entirely cold. the only people who see a genuinely soft laena is limited to her family and pimchanok.
