emerald gaze watches players intently , her focus mainly on the bard who sang ' jenny of oldstones ' --- a song that the young faun's heart always enjoyed hearing . how sweet the story . she leaned forward just slightly as song reached it's end , clapping furiously as singer and dancers to bow before starting something new . " brava ! " princess said with a smile to outshine the sun . " wasn't his voice just lovely ? " she asked her company , eyes so bright and wide - innocent .

arbor red is supposed to be tarter upon the tongue, but joanna has long self-medicated into a pit of numbness and complacency, so it almost tastes sweet — not as sweet as the one she has purposefully ordered to be watered and honeyed for both syrena and lorent. the nineteen year old took one sip and excused himself, leaving, then, sister and mother by themselves; turquoise gaze falls disinterested as the competitors to the melee gathered around to prepare. matthos has not yet begun to shout, so the queen manages to contain distaste upon her features, which, at the more pleasing sight of her dearest child, brightens in a way only syrena could do. "shall you cheer for any of these brutes, heartling? that boy from dorne is joining the ranks, it seems. our sword of the morning." pledged but a few moons ago, joanna hadn't yet bothered to learn the new kingsguard's name.
sunlight bounced of golden ringlets , that cascaded down her back like sunrays themselves . blushed petal lips look exceptionally pink and sweet as a smile beams across her face , watching the competitors as they moved about --- focus on their face , something she so often lacked . " huh ? " she asks almost absentmindedly as she is pulled from her subtle oggling of a northern competitor to turn her focus to her mother . ivory cheeks are painted red as she clears her throat , suddenly so sheepish and embarrassed . " ser dayne , you mean ? oh i hadn't noticed him yet --- " too preoccupied looking at winter's warrior . " i shall cheer for a few of course , i'm not sure who yet , " princess couldn't give out her cheers so freely , at least officially -- though she rooted for all in her heart .
hear ye hear ye — the riverlands welcomes PRINCESS SYRENA BARATHEON of WESTEROS. king matthos baratheon is glad that the 23 year old appears to be gentle and he shall overlook that it’s said they are also selfish, as long as they are glad to celebrate peace in the seven kingdoms. fortunately for them, matthos remains oblivious that they are happy with his reign.

v. biography.
just gonna put my app stuff in here and add more later okay
when she was a little girl she found a bird with a broken wing and kept it in her room while she personally nursed it back to health . she hid it from her parents and siblings . when it was finally better and flew away she wasn't sad that it was gone , but instead happy that she got to help it . which kind of reflects how she is as a person .
growing up she adored her older siblings , idolized them , and she hated how different she looked from them -- so she once cut her golden ringlets off completely with a kitchen knife and attempted to dye her hair with berries ( she just crushed them up and put them on her head , it was a funny sight ) .
the first time she ever fell in love she was 15 years old and it was with the son of one of the stable workers . she would sneak out of her lessons and hide with him in the stables , she'd count the freckles on his face and he looked at her like she was the sun itself . one day he was just gone , and his father no longer worked for the family -- she has no idea what happened to him .
