Milk and honey, that’s how people would describe Lady Leonette. From the moment she was born, the lady practiced perfection in all aspects of her life. Always duty bound to her family, she often did their bidding without argument and with all the grace expected of a Southron Lady. Of all of Garth Fossoway and Elinor Florent’s children, Leonette was the sweetest. As a little girl she appeared quiet, delicate, but when spoken to she glowed like a butterfly unfurling it’s bright wings. She knew when to speak and when to stay silent, she was the epitome of quiet obedience. Her sisters were wild, challenging, and she was the soft flower amidst all the chaos. While her sisters squabbled, she would sit playing the high-harp or embroidering apples into panels of her gowns.Â
When she turned seven, Leonette was chosen to join Margaery Tyrell’s retinue of ladies maids. It was a proud day for Garth, who knew all too well that House Fossoway was not revered or influential enough for his own lofty aspirations. Leonette went willingly to Highgarden, at the behest of her family. It suited her well and she enjoyed spending time with Margaery and her ladies far more than she did her own sisters - whom she had considered to be a headache on most days.Â
For many years she knew Garlan, and for most of it, she was simply Margaery’s handmaiden. Leonette could not pinpoint the exact moment when that all changed, but one day she started looking at him differently. Her mother had already begun sending her letters about her future, claiming that her father was starting to receive interest from other Lords, all of whom wished to claim her. She feared that her interest for Garlan was not reciprocated, but was soon proven wrong. They were married not long after.Â
Having a daughter gave her tremendous joy, although she’s had a gnawing fear ever since. As a woman, she is expected to give her husband many sons and from her own family, she has only ever seen girls. Leonette is concerned that all future children which she has will be girls, and she very much wishes to give Garlan a son. It’s been four years since the birth of Eleyna, and she’s still waiting for the gods to grant her a son.Â
Following the Fossoway and Florent families siding with Stannis Baratheon, and the fallout which ended in Garlan being granted Lordship over Brightwater Keep, she has been unable to see her parents. She knows that her husband has profited from her family’s downfall - but she cannot forgive their betrayal to their vassal house. Despite being wife to the now Lord of Brightwater Keep, Leonette has not yet moved or visited her future home. It’s guilt which keeps her away and she knows that it’s something which she’ll have to face, once the real threat has been diminished.
