alora knew better though . it was their father to be on the look for should the girls be caught out of line, though alora had much more leeway than her youngest and only sister. with her spot within their cousins ranks, alora had escaped their home at five and ten, escaped the pressure of marriage, escaped lannisport entirely, she bought pride by simply standing by the queens side, little could be said for the youngest, who was still very much within their parents grasp. ‘ mama would be gentle, little bird, you know that. ’ she murmured, moving forward to tuck a wayward blonde tress from serenas cheek. ‘ now, you have two options, you return to your chambers before mama comes looking or, you take me with you. ’ her smile was soft, and oh so fond as she peered down at the younger sister.
she knew her sister was right, or she hoped at least, but mama had warned that she shouldn’t be doing such things that are unbecoming of a lady of her stature. serena was to read her books and sew her dresses and walk in the gardens and be a good girl, and she was but her heart was soft too and she ached for those that had less. “oh alora would you come?” her voice was laced with almost childish excitement, it always did when her siblings paid her even a shred of their attention, they had so many important things to do so it was but a luxury when they wanted for her. “i just love their smiles over a simple kindess, it gives me such joy i know it will make you happy too!”
TUCKING the information away, eyes flickered from the girl to survey their surroundings and back again. “Well it certainly isn’t safe for you to depart alone.” She stated with a frown. It was a DETOUR certainly, but Poppy felt in desperate need of escape from the political atmosphere. “I’ll accompany you. After all, there are safety in numbers.”
at the prospect of the other lady joining her serena lit up, it was one thing to meet the smallfolk but to meet other lords and ladies and make friends maybe? she just loved kings landing and she understood why her sister loved it so much. “i would love that my lady, i certainly didn’t wish to go alone but i’m afraid my only companion in the city thus far is my sister and i didn’t want to bother her any more than i already have.”
“ AREN’T YOU A GROWN WOMAN? ” the lady’s words were ones that padme would expect from a child, not a woman who looked to be around her age. did the nobility truly train their daughters to be so obedient that they couldn’t make their own choices? rolling her eyes, padme stalked up to the girl, reaching out to take a few loaves of bread from the basket. “ fuck what your mother would say. you have a will of your own, use it. ” turning on her heels, padme began to walk toward the gates, not bothering to see if the girl was following or running back to the mother.
“i-i, uh, yes i am a woman grown...” serena was aware she was meek but she had been sheltered her whole life, she had only ever known her parents and their protective ways and she was nothing if not a product of her environment. “but, i...” it was hard sometimes, being a lannister in looks but not in her actions, in her demeanour, everyone expected her to be different but there was no helping who she was. the bread being taken from her basket made her spring into action however, quickly lifting her skirts again to hurry after the other woman. “please my lady! the bread is for the children!”
Reyla enjoyed walking the markets of Flea Bottom, though she always purchased silks and other material for making dresses. Often, Reyla enjoyed paying handsomely with golden dragons. As she made it to the gate she stopped upon hearing a woman’s distressed voice. She looked at the blonde in front of her with a confused face. As she slowly realized what was going on, she hurried towards her. “My lady, don’t speak so loud. You’ll get both of us caught, and I’m to have a guard with me at all times.” Reyla’s tone was serious, though she thought the girl was kind to be doing what she was doing.

as soon as serena noticed who was hurrying towards her she blushed a bright shade of pink, feeling ever so guilty having almost aroused suspicion over lady arryn, especially in such a rough time for her. “i am so very sorry my lady i did not mean to be so careless.” her fingers played nervously with the lenthy arms of her dress, chancing a glance back to the other woman. “my guard is just back there, following, if you might like to accompany me?”
Children. As the young girl spoke, Rosalin kept herself busy by playing with the girl on the other’s hip. She had always wanted a girl, and still hoped for one. She crouched to a little boy near who had his arms raised high. Within seconds, Rosalin held him against her torso as his head rested on the nape of her neck. Her cheeks flushed when the woman complimented her hair, though. ❝ The gold would be stunning on you regardless, Lady Lannister! And why yes, I do it myself. It has always been so long, I have had to get creative in getting it off my neck. I can show you how sometime? ❞ Rosalin rubbed her hand over the toddler’s back, wishing this moment would last forever.
there was nothing like the small little sprites surrounding her, and the sweet brunette on her hip, they certainly paid to take her mind away from the sad happenings that’d happened here. “oh you’re too kind, please call me serena though, lady lannister is my lady mother.” the little girl in her arms began to squirm and she quickly tickled at her side, watching in absolute delight as she tossed her head back in youthful giggles. “oh i would love that so very much, i find my current handmaids aren’t quite as experienced as i would like!”
Helena smiled back, nodding her head before moving next to Serena. “Lovely. I’ll admit, I’ve not done much outreach work here. I’ve not been able to know exactly where to go. I’m happy to have run into you today.” She smiled as she nodded at her guards, them falling in line behind them. “I hope you don’t mind. My bother insists on them following me around ever since Lord Arryn.”
“i’ve only been out there once or twice but it’s been wonderful so far.” she shook her head without sparing a glance to the guards trailing after them, it was completely understandable and she felt quite foolish having not brought one of her own. “of course not, i understand completely, it’s better to be safe.”
alora prided herself in one thing , the ability to move about silently, the ability to find herself with more knowledge than she bargained for, so when her sister was spotted taking from the kitchens she could do nothing but roll her eyes and follow after her. at first she thought the younger lannister had simply been hungry but the more she followed the more she realised that was not her intent. ‘ and if our lady mother was to catch you and not me, what would you do, little sister ? ’ she spoke once she’d purposely made herself known, just before her sister stepped out of the keep.
serena pouted at her older sister, she’d been so careful to avoid being caught by members of her immediate family but clearly not careful enough. “’lora, you gave me a fright!” fiddling with the basket that carried the bread she tried not to worry over what would have happened had her lady mother found her. “i would sincerely hope mama goes easy on me for doing the wrong thing and not punish my theiving despite it being unbecoming of a lady.”
hiya lovelies !! i’ve decided to swap serena’s fc from romee to gabriella wilde, i’m hoping it boosts my muse. so if you see gabriella on the dash from now on, it’s just me and me sweet flower child !!
It certainly was not the first time Rose had seen a Lannister, but the girl was perhaps the most Lannister Lannister that the Salt Wife had ever seen. Of course, Rosalin was falsely accused of being a Lannister many times, though, she never saw it. This girl, however, one could not doubt her lineage at all. Rosalin wondered what it must be like, to be a true Lannister, not an accused Lannister. Although it was perhaps improper, but she went up to the girl and smiled her brightest smile (she had many, after all). The stolen fruit hidden amongst her petticoats shuffled as she somehow kept her balance. Rose felt entirely too lowborn to be amongst such beautiful ladies, but Drowned God knew, she was going to treat them with kindness regardless of their welcome. ❝ Dear Lady Lannister, such a beautiful gown, very well-made and tailored, in fact! ❞
it was extremely like serena to have found the one place where all of the children in the keep seemed to have congregated, though it wasn’t her intention. she stood by the peopnies, a girl of three or so hitched on her hip and some others dancing around her feet as she plucked the flowers and tucked one behind each of their ears and hummed little tunes for them. she heard the approach of another person, another woman by the sounds of the dress on the ground, and turned, her face lit up with happiness. she could tell the woman was lowborn, but why should that determine the way serena treated her, she was a person after all, everyone deserves common kindness. “thank you my lady, pink is my favourite colour and the gold, well, i adore adding ode’s to my family in my dresses. your hair is positively brilliant if i may say, do you do it yourself?”
At her cousins startled and pouting expression she had to laugh, “Babes are always frail here, there’s nothing in the city for them but that.” Even the Stark’s hadn’t changed the cruelty of this place, but she doubted the Starks were allowed to do much of anything. Targaryens usually did dictate everything. “But to imagine I’d tell your mother on you for it! How silly, you know better than that!”
a small smile graced her lips as leona laughed, if she needed confirmation that her pleading was as ridiculous as it sounded, it was that. “but...” serena stepped a little closer to her cousin, lowing her voice so no passers by would hear. “the crown has so much gold, why must the small folk starve while we all eat like kings? i would eat less if the babes could have more. i can’t be the only one can i leona?” reaching out she gave the other blonde a squeeze on the arm, her thank you didn’t need to be said, nor did her acknowledgment of her silliness for thinking her mother would be told.
Helena was headed to the market, hoping that she could have a few moments where she could turn off. It was exhausting to say the least. It sounded selfish. She knew that. But never the less, she was tired. It wasn’t until she heard the woman in front of her speak that she realized who it was. “I wasn’t going to say anything. That’s a very noble pursuit.” She thought for a moment before speaking again. “I’d be happy to come with you. Help with your cover. If you want it, I mean.”
“lady tully!” a bright smile broke onto serena’s face, a companion would be an absolute delight she would still ask one of the guards at the gate to accompany them but having someone to talk to would make it all the better. “i would love to have you join me, a walk is always made better with a companion.”
Poppy hadn’t INTENDED to stop the blonde - in fact she’d simply been walking toward the gatehouse to speak with a handful of guard she’d employed for secrets just like this one. An eyebrow arched as the girl explained herself, AMUSEMENT tugging at her lips. “Again? Why, Lady Lannister, it would seem that you’re quite terrible at sneaking.”
serena’s cheeks flushed a bright red, her fair skin betraying her wish to hide her embarrassment at being caught. “lady baratheon! i, uh, i have a soft spot for the smallfolk, this wouldn’t be the first time i’ve taken food to them without permission... please don’t say anything!”
Davos hadn’t known to look for one of the Lannister women leaving the gates of the red keep but with the blonde hair it was almost impossible to miss. “Babes in Kingslanding often look frail my lady.” A sad truth, there wasn’t enough food to feed everyone and even after 100 years there wasn’t enough man power to convince people to still give a fair share at all times. It was impossible for the small council or royals to be everywhere at once. “I never stolen food for people before but my mother used to be quite angry when I’d take fruits for the deer.” There was always a small heard near Storms End, ones no one was allowed to hunt. Or supposed to feed but he ignored that often.
her bottom lip dropped just a little bit more, the babes in lannisport weren’t exactly as plump as she’d seen babes in the keep but still the thought of ay child going hungry hurt her heart. she knew it was silly, but she would always try to helppeople, no matter how people tried to discourage her. “the bread is better off in the mouths of frail babes than by being inhaled by the riverlands lord who has been eating his weight of it.” immediatly she felt guilty for talking about the lord, his eating habits were certainly none of her business and who was she to judge. “oh deer! i love deer! i can’t blame you for taking fruit to them, their sweet little faces get me every time.”
Rickard stood out in the middle of the red keep, even in the godswood with his direwolf at his side he felt out of place. The heat, the southerners looking at them as if the new King himself didn’t have a bit of wolf blood in him. Not that the Targaryens seemed to care for that much anymore. He’d had some hope they did, but so far it was unseen, the godswood probably hadn’t seen many people still. He wondered if any since King Robb stepped foot here. The wasn’t here to hear from gods that didn’t exist, he was here to feel a part of home. And even now it was missing something.
Hearing another person enter the gate he stood straight. “I hadn’t expected anyone else to visit.” He’d expected to be alone, but perhaps it was good to be seen in the godswood, a mask that would show he might yet have faith.
there was only so many times one could wander around the red keep’s garden or pray in the sept before restlessness set in, serena had acquainted herself with most places she was actively allowed to go, even venturing out past the gates to mingle with the common folk more than once. the godswood here was vastly different from the books she’d read and the pictures depicted of winterfell’s godswood with its ancient weirwood, she supposed it would do if you needed to pray to the old gods, she would certainly prefer to pray in a poor sept than no sept at all. she startled as she entered, recognising the stark lord from court, but his accompanying direwolf was... terrifying. “i’m sorry to disturb your prayers my lord, i’m merely exploring. i will leave you to it.”
serena lifted her skirts to allow her legs more room to move as she gripped the basket of bread tightly in her hand and tossed a glance over her shoulder in case anyone came after her before she could make it past the gates. she had almost made it when she heard the telltale sound of footsteps behind her, a pout immediately appearing on her lips. “before you say anything i just wanted to take some bread to the smallfolk, there was a babe who looked so frail !! please don’t tell my lady mother i’ve been taking bread from the kitchens again !!”
asdfghjkl lsn i love kei who has his secrets and flaws but sometimes you gotta have the purest of the pure, the sweetest, the maiden incarnate. so introducing serena aleinor lannister, my angel baby !!
( romee strijd / twenty / cisfemale ) → there has been whispers around the keep that SERENA LANNISTER, the LADY OF LANNISPORT has been spotted. everyone knows she can be very NAÏVE, but some may know that she can be BENEVOLENT & COMPASSIONATE. she has pledged her allegiance to HOUSE LANNISTER & HOUSE TARGARYEN, i wonder how long she’ll last in the capital ? → ( bee / aest / 19 / she/her )
serena is the youngest child of the lord and lady of lannisport and oh boy is she sheltered, everything is wonderous to her because she was never shown anything, she only travelled to kings landing after her twentieth name day and the firstherest she’d been before that was within the westerlands.
while alora adores her freedom, serena lives for the day she marries. serena is essentially the equivalent of sana before kings landing, full of songs and fairytales and love stories, she wants the young wolf to her dragon queen, a true love.
easy to manipulate, everyone around her knows she’s an easy target for those that might want their share in the lannister family gold, therefore she is easily the hardest lannister to gain access to and at twenty she’s still without a betrother, something she’s quickly growing irrated with.
lsn there’s not much else to tell u guys bc she’s just soft and dreamy but i am going to pop some plot ideas below so come and hmu with plots bc i die for them !!
it goes without saying that i would D I E for a betrothal for serena, be it the loveless type or one they each begged their head of house for, just... gimme, pls
any type of friends are always welcome, i hope to see serena travel more so new friends, old friends, pen pals, friends who make it their mission to tell serena every bawdy joke and sing every dirty song they know !!
someone manipulate her !! she’s so easy to shape and convince so pls !! use her !! give me that angst and pain !!
a forbidden love is always fun !! a steward, someone from the common fol, a lord who petitioned for her hand and was knocked back, just someone who fell for her as hard as she fell for him but aren’t meant to be !! again, angst and pain, i’m not above begging tbh
