Aerion Targaryen | Eighteen | Prince of Summerhall & Master of Laws | Bethrothed to Saeherys Valeryon

Prince Aerion is the last of Queen Daenerys’ and Prince Trystane's children, with two older brothers and three older sisters, including his twin, Rhaella. Aerion is fourth in line for the throne.

Aerion's birth was much harder on Daenerys than his sister's, and this caused the Queen to become very weak, though Daenerys didn't hold the twins responsible for something that was definitely not their fault. Aerion was very fond of his mother for the very short time they had together. His memories of her include her reading to him stories of the great Targaryen kings of old, of chivalrous knights, and noble ladies.

After her death, Aerion became very quiet, speaking little and distancing himself from everyone as best he could at the age of two. All except his eldest brother, Aegon, who began to raise him and his twin sister in a form; and Rhaella, who wouldn't allow him to stay away from her. As Aerion grew up he began to engross himself in books and numbers, making him an excellent steward.

Around the age of fourteen, Aerion began to open back up to the people around him, beginning to grow closer to his older siblings, as well as making friends with many of the children at court. Aerion also took a liking to a servant, but the two were separated when that servant went to Harrenhal to serve his older sister Visenya.

Aerion's relationship with his siblings is wonderful; while he is closest to Rhaella and Aegon, he gets along well enough with Visenya and Daenerys. His relationship with Aenar, however, is strained and always has been. Aenar was very cold towards him and often antagonized him when he was a child. In turn, Aerion resented how Aenar's behaviour, he found his carefree lifestyle to be a stain on the honor of House Targaryen. When Aerion turned eighteen Aenar stepped down from his position as Lord of Summerhall and granted the title to Aerion, much to everyone’s surprise. Since, they have attempted to fix their relations somewhat, though they remain somewhat difficult in the face of their history. Recently, Aerion has been focused on rebuilding certain sections of Summerhall as well as relocating Targaryen relics within the castle.Along side his betrothal to Lady Saeherys Valeryon, all the while his heart belonging to William Stark of Winterfell a Squire to Ser Symon waters, the Kingsguard in charge of Summerhall.

Rhaella Targeryen | Eighteen | Princess of Westeros | Unmarried

The golden princess of the realm, Rhaella Targeryen, is the last daughter and the fifth child of Daenerys Targaryen and Trystane Martell. She has two older sisters, two older brothers, and a younger twin, Aerion. She has often been told that she looks exactly like her mother. Rhaella is tenth in line to the throne.

Rhaella was born mere minutes before Aerion; however her birth was easy on her mother, whereas Aerion's was more difficult. She adored her mother and saw her as a role model, and the perfect person. Daenerys' death, when she was merely two years old, was extremely difficult for her. She began to spend hours in the sept, praying. Aerion, however, took Daenerys death far harder and became a quiet child, attempting to distance himself from everyone. Even then, Rhaella wouldn't allow her to stay away from her; she refused to lose her mother and her twin at the same time. It was Aegon who took on the role of caregiver to them along with Trystane.

Rhaella took to the arts and sewing as she grew older. Like her brother, she loves books, and has a fondness for fine wines as well. She loves helping the poor and needy, and spend vast amounts of times in the city buying bread and other foods to feeding the hungry. Rhaella truly believes that a gentle loving hand will spread more peace than steel and red rivers.

Unlike some of her family, Rhaella avoids speaking of Aenar’s behavior and the rumors of his bastard children, though she knows of at least one. Rhaella cares not to involve herself in it; though she cares for her brother, and would never turn him away, she simply prefers to talk of other, less bothersome things.

Dacey Mormont | Twenty-Four | Lady in the North | Unmarried

Dacey Mormont is the first child and only daughter of Lyanna Mormont, though she was raised more by her aunt, Lyra, than by her mother. As a result, she is as close to her cousin, Maege, as she would be with a trueborn sister. She has one younger brother as well, Jorah.

Dacey was very young during Euron's rebellion. Surprisingly enough, Bear Island with its protection was mostly untouched by the Ironborn. Dacey did, however, hear about the atrocities committed by the raiders across the west coast of Westeros.

As she grew older, Dacey heard that many disapproved of the way of life of the women of Bear Island, and began to ask what the other ladies of Westeros did. She was shocked to learn that many women did not know how to defend themselves. After learning that, Dacey made it a goal to train women to defend themselves. When she turned eight-and-ten, she left the island with a few other shieldmaidens and began traveling village to village in the North and then further South, teaching women how to protect themselves and their children from raiders and rapers. She has faced some opposition for this, particularly from lords and some noble ladies who believe it is wrong or unladylike for them to life a weapon.

Dacey rarely stays in one place for too long though.  For this she has earned the nickname 'the travelling she-bear'. She often takes up residence in the homes of other nobles if they allow her, but she is in Bear Island quite often of late.

Ashe Bane | Twenty-Five | Lord in the North | Unmarried

Ashe Mandryk Bane is the second son and third child of Daphne and Cedric Bane. He has two older siblings, Thorne and Rowyn, and three younger; Laela, Brayken and  Rose. He carries the nickname "Icebreath" due to his harsh and cold manner of speech.

Ashe was once a sweet child, brave and curious, but even then he always felt overshadowed. He wanted his parents' approval and attention, but Daphne was always busy training Rowyn, and Cedric with Thorne. After a time, Ashe looked for different ways to seek attention, and sadly he thought trouble was the answer. He knew that if he caused trouble, his parents would have to pay attention to him, if only to stop his behavior.

He'd wanted to be a knight, but he gave this up in favor of pursuing wine and women. He became the cock of the walk, always starting fights and enjoying defeating others. He has little tolerance for those better than him, but he is charming regardless, especially with women. He is good with words and can bend people to his will with ease.  Unfortunately, Ashe has no restraint. He will drink himself blind whenever it pleases him, and carelessly hunt large game like bears and giant stags Ashe has on more than one occasion been dragged home from brothels and taverns completely in his cups. Cedric has called him an embarrassment to the Bane name and does not hold back on displaying his disappointment in his son, something that hurts Ashe deeply and only fuels him to act on his impulses more.

Ashe has had difficult relationships with women, always afraid of them betraying him. Laela may be his closest friend, but he trusts even her very little. Despite his resentment, he does love his siblings and has great respect for Thorne and Rowyn; it is his parents he blames for their neglect. For all the things he hates in his life he loves his family’s value of closeness. He see Rowyn and Thorne as the people who hold the family together, for they always make time for their siblings no matter how busy they may be.

Jorah Mormont | Seventeen | Heir to Bear Island | Unmarried

Jorah is the second son of Lyanna Mormont, though he was raised more by his aunt, Lyra, than lady Lyanna herself. He has one older sister, Dacey. He is the heir to Bear Island, as his cousin Maege has no children and no other siblings who may inherit before him.

Unlike his siblings and cousins, Jorah grew up a very sickly child. It was widely believe that he was going to die before his third nameday, but he fought it and fought it, and survived. Growing up with a delicate body, though, made him quite physically weak. Even then, Jorah trained alongside the other Bear Islanders, insisting on keeping up with them. He became stronger and stronger yet, fighting the odds and the beliefs of everyone.

Jorah has always felt as if he could never live up to his name. He could never be like the Jorah Mormont of Queen Daenerys' time. All the children in the Seven Kingdoms have heard of Ser Jorah Mormont and his braveries, his invaluable part in aiding the dragon queen to her rightful throne; and the children on Bear Island moreso. Jorah feels as though he needs to live up to that, but at the same time is unsure what. His sisters tell him that he must find his own path and do great things that define him, not live up to another man's name.

Jorah occasionally travels with his sister Dacey and helps her train women on how to defend themselves. His main reason to travel with her is to find something that he can do with himself, something that would bring him the honor and glory associated with his name, but he has yet to find it.

Brayken Bane | Twenty-Two | Lord in the North | Unmarried

Brayken Zorenot Bane is the youngest son and fifth child of Daphne and Cedric Bane. He has only one younger sister, Rose. Brayken is a very bright boy with an unrivaled mind. Despite his natural gift for learning, but he is not boastful or proud. In fact Brayken is mild mannered and gentle, unlike all his older siblings.

When he was a babe, Maester Quentyn diagnosed him with red spots, a mild childhood illness that near all children recovered from easily. However Brayken did not recover quickly and suffered a long time. When the illness finally released its hold on him, Maester Quentyn discovered that Brayken had a rare blood condition that had led to his illness lasting so long. Even after, Brayken fell ill often and it was feared he would die as a boy.

Brayken’s family put everything on hold the year he feel deathly ill. A fever had struck the North and Brayken had caught it from one of the servants. For two weeks the fever raged and none of the family left Brayken's bedchambers or the Godswood. When a week passed and the fever hadn't broken, Daphne returned to the seat of Shivering Cliffs, leaving Ashe and Rowyn in charge of Brayken. Ashe often brought him news from the surrounding village, while Rowyn would read him stories from books and histories, anything to distract him from the pain. Even Laela visited him from time to time.

Eventually, the illness passed. It took moons more for him to regain his strength, but even once he had, Cedric made the decision to bar Brayken from learning swordsmanship, for he was far too frail to exert himself. Not being able to pursue his family’s traditions, Brayken was beside himself in grief. But when Rose began to take lessons with the Maester, Brayken joined in, burying himself in books instead of worrying about his future.

His family quickly picked up on how clever he was, how fast he learned anything. From then, Cedric spent his free time teaching Brayken everything about Ib, their culture and their homeland, to ensure he knew about it as well as he did Westeros. Now his family sees him as a respectable member and seek him for any knowledge they need, for he knows more about Westeros and its customs than any of the rest of them.

Tygett Lannister | Twenty-Three | Heir to Lannisport

Tygett Lannister is the only son of Tybolt Lannister and Darla Lannister. He has an older half-brother, Lan. House Lannister of Lannisport was never as wealthy a House as their liegelords at Casterly Rock, and when the War of the Five Kings lasted as long as it did, its gold mines were exhausted. Tybolt Lannister, then a young man and the head of house already, had to marry into a wealthier House, one which would replenish their gold. 

Tybolt married the elder daughter of Lord Payne, Senelle, but the woman died three years after giving him a son. On her death, Tybolt married Darla, her younger sister. Although Darla knew it was for House Payne’s wealth, she was still happy that she could marry the man she loved. She gave him a son before she fell ill. While she didn’t die from her illness, she was bedridden for a very long time and lost the ability to bear anymore children.

Tygett has always had a knack for building. Where Lan took to arms, Tygett turned to books, learning to be not only a builder and expert in ancient Westerosi history. Darla raised Tygett to be a gentleman and he lives up to that standard well. He is polite and confident and quick to make a joke. He is level- headed and sensible, and refrains from reckless activities.

Tygett spends a lot of time in the Capital and attends any tourney his brother enters. Despite their differences he has always been fond of his brother and they are, as unlikely as it seems, the best of friends. Tygett knows he will have to settle down and marry someday, which he is fine with as long as his wife is demure and smart enough to hold conversations with him.

Maege Mormont | Twenty-Nine | Lady of Bear Island | Unmarried

Maege Mormont is the daughter of Lyra Mormont, and is currently the Lady of Bear Island. She has one older brother, Jory, and two cousins who she treats as siblings more, as they were all raised together by her mother.

Maege is a very strict woman. As is common perhaps nowhere but Bear Island, Maege trained from a young age how to fight alongside the men, the way her mother and grandmother had. Maege is a quiet woman, and serious, though she does have some appreciable dry wit. She is a just ruler, but one who shows little mercy when it comes to criminals. While there are those who believe her to be too harsh, she is of the opinion that any who commit crime must be punished for it.

She also doesn't tolerate unruly behavior. She is aware that the behavior of the ladies on Bear Island aren't conventional elsewhere, but doesn't feel this is something that should be changed, as this is their way of life, their culture. She doesn't, however, tolerate any kind of bawdy behavior. If Maege does has a soft spot, it is for children, perhaps her natural protectiveness or a secret motherly instinct. Whatever it is, she feels she can only truly love children, and none else. But she lets no one know about it, as she feels it is a weakness that others could use against her.

Aelex Maretll | Thirty-Three | Prince Consort of Sunspear | Married to Ellaria Martell

Aelex Dayne is the second son and third child of Edric Dayne, and brother to the current Lady of Starfall, Ashara. At a young age, Aelex was betrothed to Ellaria Martell, and they were wed when he turned sixteen.

Aelex is a very relaxed man, the exact opposite of his wife. He is also very open about his opinions. This often leads to Aelex and his wife getting into some of their famous fights. Aelex never loved Ellaria as their marriage was completely political. So Aelex didn't care that he bedded other women; at one point, he even thought of deserting her for another woman, one whom he then thought he loved more. But Aelex never did so for the sake of their son, Mors.

Mors is the only thing that keeps Aelex around Ellaria. Aelex was the primary caregiver to their son when he was a child, and Mors is the one person for whom Aelex would do near to anything. Of late, things have warmed up between the princess and Aelex, but it is nowhere near love, or even harmony. But he is, and always has been, willing to cooperate with her if it means their son doesn't have to see the worst of their fights. 

Aelex is a calm man, and relaxed; some say he is lazy, but this isn't so. He is capable and knowledgeable as a person, he simply chooses not to act on that knowledge, or to show it off. He takes things as they come and prefers to face them calmly instead of with anger. He can be happy with anything, not caring about luxury, though he does have a fondness for spiced food.

Rhogan Florent | Nineteen | Lord in the Reach | Unmarried

Once Queen Daenerys had taken the throne, House Florent requested that their original seat, Brightwater Keep, be returned to them. Due to their support for Stannis Baratheon, however, this wasn’t allowed. This caused much strife between House Florent and their liegelords, House Tyrell, who had been granted those same lands under King Joffrey’s rule. Weakened by this, House Florent has become a minor house in the Reach, unimportant.

Rhogan, the son of Alester Florent, is just like any typical Florent. He is as sly as a fox, and feels entitled to the lands that were once House Florent's. For centuries his House have held Brightwater Keep and its surrounding lands, and he doesn't intend to let them go. While his father hadn't pressed to have the lands that were his by right returned to him, Rhogan is different. He sees Brightwater Keep as his family's claim, not the Tyrells', and something that he intends to take back one way or another.

Rhogan is a shadow; he looks for ways to play mental games with his enemies, and desires powerful allies. He only wants what is rightfully House Florent's. He insists the Crown should grant him his titles, especially as he is a real bannerman, but it may be impossible for him now since Leo Tyrell is beloved by the people... unless he can find something that proves him a less-than-worthy man to hold the lands.

Wymer Manderly | Seventeen | Heir to White Harbor | Unmarried

Wymer Manderly is the third and youngest son of Wynafryd Manderly and William Hornwood. He has one older brother, Wyman, and an older sister, Wynesse. Wymer has a tendency to attach himself to people very easily, then following them around and trailing after them, something he often did with his siblings as a child.  

Growing up, Wymer has always wanted to be like his siblings, a warrior and a sailor. From a young age he was trained by the Master-at-arms and the Master of Ships at White Harbor; although his skills on a boat were somewhat lacking, he more than made up for with a sword. Wymer is a brave boy, with a fierce loyalty to the Stark family, as well as the crown, he knows what he wants and is willing to sacrifice many things to get there.

While he is young and has not yet been knighted, his skills are equal to many a knight. Wymer aspires to become a knight of the Kingsguard. Fond of songs and stories of the chivalrous knights of old, he hopes to be one among their ranks someday. He hopes to prove himself enough to serve for the King, and perhaps one day become a knight for the singers to sing about.

Mors Martell | Seventeen | Heir to Sunspear | Unmarried

The son and heir of Princess Ellaria Martell and Aelex Dayne, Mors was born into the noble and ancient house of Nymeros Martell, the future Prince of Dorne.

As the heir, he was raised in Sunspear around both his parents. His mother was quite distant from him, as she was always busy with the duties of being the ruling Princess of Dorne. Mors was very close with his father, however. Aelex would often times tell Mors stories about the great knights that House Dayne had produced in the past, and shared poems and songs with him about the history of Dorne. Mors was mostly fascinated with the poetry his father would read to him, and began to learn how to write it. Often, he would be found discussing possible ideas for songs and poems with the court musician at Sunspear.

When Mors was fourteen, he left to stay at the Water Gardens for a time. He was rather fond of the lush green gardens, cool waters, and pink marble that made the palace a pleasant getaway from hot, dark Sunspear itself. It was in the Water Gardens where Mors began to write his own poetry. During his three years there, he had many short-lived relationships with a fair number of young men and women.

Eventually, however, Mors decided to move back home. His time in the Water Gardens, away from the center of Dornish politics that was Sunspear, created in him an interest for it. He began to take more and more interest in court politics, and wanted to learn from an expert like his mother... Though she remains as distant from him as ever, and he feels he must warm her to him before she will teach him anything.

Raynee Florent | Eighteen |Lady in the Reach | Unmarried 

Once Queen Daenerys had taken the throne, House Florent requested that their original seat, Brightwater Keep, be returned to them. Due to their support for Stannis Baratheon, however, this wasn't allowed. This caused much strife between House Florent and their liegelords, House Tyrell, who had been granted those same lands under King Joffrey's rule. Weakened by this, House Florent has become a minor house in the Reach, unimportant.

The daughter of Alekyne Florent and his wife, Raynee is much like any other Florent. She is proud of her House with its great history, traceable as far back as Garth Greenhand himself, and believes her importance to be somewhat higher than it is. She is also an incredibly gossip; even if isn't Raynee's business, she will find a way to become a part of it, and if nothing else, at least know everything that she can. Though what Raynee really wants with this information is to help her brother in his dreams of improving their House's standing in the Reach and regaining their birthright, their lands.

In the last year, Raynee has begun looking for a suitor to help expand her families alliances and gain support for her brother. She believes if she can curry favour with the important, she can convince His Grace to return their lands to them. She is well-aware that if it is too long before they are given their rights, House Florent will descend into ignominy, and Raynee would do anything to keep that from happening.
