At home, her mother was already conspiring to advance their station amongst Targareyn supporters. She wanted more for her daughter, who she was showing more attention as she came of a marriageable age. The Celtigar boy was closer in age to her sisters, and she did not wish to waste good heir-producing years. She wanted more, but settled, in her mind, for the Qoheryses. Valyrian stock, an old and proud family, but one with no titles to their name. They were loyal stewards to the Targareyns and having Caerina by their side, producing their heirs, it would still provide them with a close, loyal link.

She married the eldest Qoherys in a wartime wedding, mere weeks after the burning of Harrenhal. Her new husband was among those fighting still, and so after a very brief time together in her new family’s lot at Dragonstone, she was left alone once again. He was kind to her, she was growing fond of him, but his absence left lingering questions.
