gonna do my best to summarize her the best i can cause i’m bad at intros oof
taryn is the eldest child of the ruling lord and lady of dyre den. they are a lesser noble family based in the crownlands and are the main branch of the brune family
the brune family were well off enough, definitely not the poorest of the lesser families but most likely not the richest either? or the most powerful
this can be discussed with players depending on whether or not other family members are picked up, but i imagine family dynamics are something like this:
ruling lord brune is a gambler, gambling away what fortune they do have in recent years. this doesn’t mean they’re broke as of yet, but they’re on the way and hes desperate for money. he wants his daughters married off as soon as possible
ruling lady brune is incredibly pious and faithful, raising the girls up in the religion of the seven. she very much tries to keep her children in line, but none of the girls listen to her. she is a cousin of the tullys. both parents don’t really crave anything above their station, they would just like to maintain the life they already have
last but not least, the three daughters are like this in descending order: power, knowledge, love. taryn is focused on making something more of herself and ascending in westeros, but doesn’t have the patience for the games a lot of coutiers play. the second daughter is more focused on gaining knowledge and is seen more as a bookworm which their father probably hates as much as he hates taryn trying to gain power. i see them both very much as “knowledge is power” vs “power is power”, but i don’t think the second daughter is as driven as taryn is to gain it. the third and youngest daughter is focused on love, but in a....fun way? as in shes in love with someone new every week, always trying to sneak off w/ them etc. shes probably the fathers favorite because shes v good at manipulating him and appearing sweet ( shes this way to everyone but her sisters who can see through her act ). even still shes a bit naive as her sisters are always protecting her and even babying her to a degree even if they act like they don’t
all three sisters love each other and protect each other even if they don’t always get along ( as siblings do ). they’re constantly getting into trouble together and driving their parents insane. their mother def is always going on about how they’re both cursed with ingrates LMAO
again, this doesn’t have to be the way it is if someones interested in applying, i just imagine it this way? feel free to hmu if you are interested in applying and we can talk it out
p e r s o n a l i t y
as stated before, taryn is definitely the most driven amongst her family and is power hungry. shes not satisfied with her life in dyre den and has always kinda been blood thirsty. i don’t necessarily think shes reckless, but shes not going to stab you in the back: she’ll stab you in the front with everyone watching, which i think would unnerve many people in kings landing
the only people shes close with are her sisters i think. no one else can stand how blunt she seems to be which is a character flaw, but not at the same time? she repels yet attracts at the same time because when she wants to dial up the charm she definitely can
as a child she dreamed of being a warrior, but she takes issue with people ordering her around so, even ignoring the fact that shes a cis girl, didn’t pan out well. i know for sure the guards around dyre den love her though and taught her how to use a dagger as a child
which is why shes called the dame of daggers: for her mouth and her collection. a play on words
her father is doing his best to marry off all of his daughters as soon as possible and to whomever has the right amount of money, but taryn’s v dominant and her father is v much not so shes kinda trying to arrange the best marriage for herself even tho her father doesn’t really care about power and knows thats not a viable option for someone whos in a lower ranking noble family
for all her bluntness and daring get her in trouble, i don’t think shes always tactless either. like shes not gonna walk up and tell the queen her dress looks ugly even if thats the way she really feels. she’ll probably find a way to deflect and change the conversation so she doesn’t have to lie
shes v much so a bulldozer which i think literally everyone in her family has an issue with. she has a really hard time listening to others and their needs because she always thinks she knows best and she can’t be wrong. she’ll never apologize even when she knows she did something bad
i wouldn’t call her morally grey all the time, but shes v much an anti-hero looking out for herself and her sisters
i think thats p much it on her tho?? if you have any questions or are interested in plotting, you can always hmu!
didn’t proofread or format cause i live on the edge oof
