SPECIAL NOTES & CHARACTER LORE
The Drowned God gives and he takes in equal amount — and in 281 AC , in welcoming the babe to be known as Gena Pyke into the world , he took from her the mother that gave her life. Myria of Lys had lived a harsh life , far from home as a thrall to the Lord of the Iron Islands , bearing him three girls over 7 years , 2 of which survived past infancy. But she was a soft woman and a caring mother to her eldest daughter Gysella; not that Gena knew any of this kindness , and nor did she know her sister particularly well — who had been taken to the castle to train as a seamstress. After her birth , she was raised alongside her half-brother Urron by his Tyroshi mother until she too died in childbirth in 284 AC. A few moons passed whilst the question of what exactly was to be done about the bastards , until it was agreed that the young girl would be sent to Blacktyde , where Lord Baelor had a daughter just one year older than Gena.
Life on Blacktyde was neither more pleasant nor any worse than what the girl’s life would have been like had she stayed on Pyke. As a bastard , there was little care given to her education , so Gena was left in the care of the other kids that inhabited the island.
By her 10th nameday , Gena had begun to force her way into the training sessions that the boys were put through — against the backdrop of jeering boys branding her worth less than a salt wife , the feisty blonde refused to be scared off from training to become a warrior in her own right. Small and with quick reflexes , Gena was an agile young girl, yet her size held her back in wielding with ease the large axes favoured by her people. Then one day , she was handed her first bow , made specifically for her smaller stature , and Gena was in love.
From the age of 15 , Gena spent as much time as she could out at sea, standing as a loyal shadow behind Lord Blacktyde , or flirting with other captains for passage whenever Baelor remained at home. During a petty reave in the Westerlands , Gena was injured by two arrows in her dominant arm; stumbling and bleeding , she managed to get closer to the enemy archer before flinging a knife that she kept on her belt at his throat , spitting down on the dying man before returning to the ship before she collapsed. The wounds were treated and healed as well as they could be for her to continue as an archer.
