WHAT A RIDICULOUS EVENT . a celebration they called it . more like a convergence of people who all disliked one another . but an opportunity was an opportunity and house greyjoy wasn’t about to let it pass them by . dunstan would make sure of that . armed with a goblet of watered down ale— best to give the illusion of drinking than to actually be doing so— he observed the people moving about the busy room of the red keep . ❝ wonder how long we have before the first fight breaks out ? ❞
she was no stranger to the walls of the red keep. house VELARYON had been pledged to TARGARYEN for centuries. once they had regained the throne, the crownlands house had been quick to show their support. but they had taken on a new light with all the new faces that filled it. it would seem she was the only one TRULY thrilled there. “do you have so little faith in your fellow man to believe they can’t quell the urge to raise a sword for a few hours?” alysanne questions as she turns to her new companion. the corners of pink lips TWITCHING into a smile.
Alix was not in the least entertained. She was at an age where partying mindlessly into the wee hours in the morning held no appeal to her. She was not completely immune to fun and merry gatherings, but this seemed far too forced to be genuine. Her eyebrow was arched in sheer lack of amusement at the sight of a pair with their wits surrendered completely to the alcoholic vapours around them - and the liquor itself. As a pretty blonde diverted her attention, Alixena’s lips quirked into a smirk. “Exceeding fun.” She grasped the goblet in front of herself and took a small sip of the wine, adding; “I suppose it could be worse, though.”
one of the many JOYS of the gatherings of this size, were the sheer numbers of faces she had not seen before. all these tales to collect, secrets to learn. alysanne always managed to find some small ADVENTURE amongst the feigned smiles of guests. all parties, no matter how tiresome, contained some glimmer of excitement if you cared to look. “we have good wine and good company.” the lady turns to the other with a smile, eyes DANCING with evident mirth. “granted our entertainment could be better than an... enamoured couple. but at least there are no tears yet.”
her eyes flickered to the pair, before looking at the woman who had spoken. She had no idea who anyone here was or why this woman cared so much about who the drunken lady would be fucking later that evening. “Oh yes, so much fun.” She commented, sarcastically - before turning away to role her eyes. She had no idea why she was sitting with a bunch of prissy ladies drinking wine and listening to their pathetic gossip, but yet here she was. Once more, she brought the glass of wine to her lips, trying to drown out the chattering of the other ladies.
alysanne was the PERCEPTIVE sort. she cut quite the unassuming figure ( dressed in powder blue skirts, a slight five foot three, and smiling, smiling, smiling ), but it allowed her to cut through any MARKS one might wear. why bother pretending around one of so little threat? now, she could tell that one of her companion’s for the evening was not like the others. they twittered like BIRDS and she viewed them all as mindless for it. alysanne simply beamed. “it is not the sort of fun you are used to?” an innocent brow is arched as she sets her goblet aside.
“at least SOMEONE is enjoying themselves.” the lady’s delicate fingertips trace her goblet as she quirks an amused brow at the sight before her. of a LADY and her GENTLEMANLY guest for the evening, cackling in a way that could only be fuelled by alcohol. “are you having just as much FUN?” she glances side ways, haunting lilac eyes glinting teasingly as she raises her wine to her lips. it was so RARE the capital was this full. so many new friends to make, people to learn about. finally, some excitement.
but this is what she learned from her mother: always run before you get too close, conceal your talons beneath pale pink nails and a honeyed tongue until the moment is right, smile, smile, smile.

arya stark: do you have different “faces” around different people?
ASK MEME / ACCEPTING
“i should think i only have the one face. and a rather pretty one at that.” she seems to take pleasure in being particularly contrary. dancing about the question as gracefully as she was trained. in truth she had the two. the one she wore each and every day to face the world. all bright smiles, the lady of spring indeed. and the second, one he kept to herself. to those only who knew her so completely. the only ones to see beyond that pristine shine.
loras tyrell: do you hide anything about yourself from people?
ASK MEME / ACCEPTING
“don’t we all?” violet hues flash, lips quirking as though she holds some amusing secret. “if we all presented ourselves as open and honest people, then there would be very little to make a drama out of. there would be no ulterior motives, for we would all state what it was we sought to our faces. we all hide something, by means of survival or perhaps to invite intrigue. but it wouldn’t stay hidden if i spouted it all now, would it?”
there is plenty she hides behind pretty smiles and childish laughter. iron will. fear of failing. pits of loneliness. nothing she was like to share.
“i should think a leader. it would be poor luck indeed for driftmark if they were left with a sheep to navigate the waves, now, wouldn’t it? but then i cannot recall a time where i ever had a penchant for following. no i’ve always had a habit of sticking my nose in where hundreds of men cried it simply didn’t belong. i am my lord father’s blood through and through, of that i am certain.”

- THE SONG.
alysanne was born into house velaryon and so growing up she learned to sail and fish as was expected of her house, this in turn created the adventurous and sometimes reckless woman she is today.
a true chaotic neutral, she does whatever she wants and if you tell her she can’t she’s 10 times more likely to do it anyway which will likely be her downfall.
truly wants the best for her people. though she never wanted to lead her house, she’s taken to the role as best as she can and dedicates time to getting to know the people and charity work.
is well loved throughout driftmark and the crownlands, and this is intentional on her part as she wants to ensure her and her families safety if all goes south. knowing the people at least will come to her aid.
most charming person you’ve ever met, dubbed the lady of spring for her birth brought the most fruitful harvest house velaryon had seen in centuries and as she grew, brought light and life to every room she’s ever entered.
though she does try to be good, and does long for peace ( perhaps naively ) she knows that not everything can be achieved via honest means and isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty.
kind of bitter about her position because of the life it made her leave behind, and this sometimes leads to acting out and seeking adventures that are certainly not fit for a lady. lately this includes the rejection of her newest betrothal who she feels may weaken her claim as regent once married.
loves her niece and nephew, and her family, will actually kill for them so best not cross any of them. takes her role as regent and protector of her brothers children very seriously, if not anything else.
the sort of person who will deliver the harshest insult you’ve ever heard, but with the sweetest smile on her face so you’re not really sure where you stand.
a massive flirt. will flirt with anything. it’s all for harmless fun really, for her own amusement.deep down, she’s a hopeless romantic.
though she is a passionate and free spirit, you won’t often see anything from her beyond her infamous smile. always laughing and playing the charming part, only those closest to her will see any genuine emotion that goes beyond her face value. even her temper is relatively tamable, for it is only those she loves the most who can upset her the most.
loves games, loves to play with people, especially new people who she finds fascinating. wants to find out as much as she can for no other reason than she’s interested in every single life and likes to collect their stories.
at her core she’s a good person in a position that doesn’t allow her to be as kind and good as she would like, her head is often in the clouds. thinking of some far off sea she’d rather be sailing, or dreams of a perfect world that she’s too naive to believe won’t ever come to fruition. despite her idealism and bleeding heart, she’s incredibly smart and tactful and this paired with the obvious charm makes her quite the formidable negotiator. she was named for the good queen alysanne, who many believed could have easily ruled alone, and she is doing her very best to live up to that legacy.
