PARENTS lord terrence and lady mirelle lannister.
SIBLINGS lady lucretia, lord loren, & four more.
OTHERS princess laena targaryen (attending to).
WANTED childhood friends/acquaintances from the westerlands; people at the red keep she takes issue with (whether one sided or mutual).
by the time teora is born, house lannister (and the westerlands as a whole) are already waiting for her older siblings to make arrangements and have babes of their own. a seventh cub is nothing to take note of, especially not after the lord lannister's new wife had given him twins, always a fun circumstance. she was never truly denied anything, in that her wishes had never been thought of much at all. her education was spectacular, her horse impressive, her dresses regal and costly....her opinions relegated to the importance of a dove cawing or a cow mooing. the older lannister siblings were taught to govern, to command respect...teora was taught to sit down and be pretty (and stop making those irritated faces, for seven's sake!)
her siblings are old, out of her reach; her father, larger than life itself; her mother...well, teora had more of a connection to her nursemaid as a child than she did the woman.
she had reached a level of boredom known to send young ladies down terrible paths, but instead of seeking such temptations, she had begged lord lannister to send her as a lady-in-waiting to one of the princesses, and luck should have it she had been given to the princess laena.
on the off chance that luck should find her once more, teora hopes this.....friendship will lead to a well made match (no second sons, please) and the chance to save herself from being forgotten amongst heads of gold (by throwing herself into the midst of heads of silver) and being written off as wholly insignificant.
#STAFF // the seven beckon DAME ELYRA SELMY toward them; a reclamation etched into bone, a daughter shaped by the ghost of a fallen name, associated with HOUSE SELMY. the sworn shield feels their soul flay open just as judgement is shackling to a ruthlessness nature, gripping it tightly as mercy fights with discipline. traits guidance sees in the dreams of a rebellion with an accompaniment from strength and courage as they offer a longsword — balanced, unadorned, precise — a weapon not meant to dazzle, but to endure. all while innocence encapsulates memories of them — the echo of steel against steel in an empty training yard before dawn, frost clinging to her breath as she refuses to yield, the suffocating weight of a name once spoken with pride now carried in hushed tones and lingering stares, rain-soaked battlements overlooking a violent sea, where storms crash endlessly as if mirroring the unrest she keeps buried beneath composure, the quiet, fleeting warmth of a presence beside her in the early hours, where duty softens just enough to feel like something more, something dangerous — so they are remembered when the unknown flickers into view, dragging them towards their end, the unbearable possibility of failure, not death, but the realization that she was never enough to restore what was lost.

𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 . . .
i.
honor does not die loudly. it fades — quietly, humiliatingly, until only the echo remains.
there was no storm the day her house fell. no fire, no blade raised in righteous defiance — only whispers, thin and venomous, slipping through halls that once carried her name with pride. a knight undone not by weakness of arm, but by something far more unforgivable: doubt. disgrace settled over house selmy like dust, slow and suffocating, until nothing of it remained untouched.
elyra selmy did not cry. she watched.
watched the way doors closed softer when she approached. the way her father’s name was no longer spoken, but avoided. the way honor — once something solid, something certain — could unravel without ever breaking. and in that silence, something within her hardened.
not grief. something colder.
ii.
elyra selmy. the daughter. the remnant. the name that refused to disappear. children are not meant to carry the weight of legacy, but she did. not as pride — but as burden. as something sharp and constant, pressing into every moment of her becoming.
she did not grow angry. she grew precise.
where others might have rebelled, she endured. where others might have turned away, she leaned in — into discipline, into control, into the relentless pursuit of something she could not yet name, only feel.
she learned early that effort alone was not enough. perfection was required. steel did not come easily to her — it was earned, inch by inch, through repetition and refusal to yield. every bruise was a lesson. every failure, unacceptable. she did not fight to prove herself better.
she fought to prove she was not what they believed her to be. and when she was finally seen — truly seen — it was not as a girl. but as something harder. something useful.
iii.
elyra selmy, the oathbound blade.
knighthood was never meant to be hers. not truly. not in the way the world understood it. and yet — she took it anyway, not as a gift, but as something carved from expectation and defiance alike. duty became her language. clear. unyielding. absolute.
she did not question orders. did not waver. did not allow space for doubt to settle where discipline had taken root. her loyalty was not born of devotion, but of decision — deliberate, conscious, unbreakable. and then — him.
a prince who did not behave like one. a name that carried weight, worn as though it did not belong to him. careless, in ways she could not afford to be. soft, in ways she had long since abandoned. saerys targaryen was not a duty she understood.
but he was hers. and she did not fail what was hers. even when he resisted. even when he slipped beyond reach. even when protecting him felt less like purpose — and more like punishment.
iv.
in a realm where honor bends as easily as men do, elyra selmy does not. she stands. unyielding. unwavering. carved from something that does not allow for fracture, only pressure. the crown may shift, alliances may falter, names may rise and fall beneath the weight of politics and power — but she remains constant.
not untouched. never untouched. but unbroken.
and yet — there is something dangerous in the stillness she has built for herself. something that lingers just beneath the surface of discipline and restraint. because duty, when held too tightly, begins to resemble something else.
something fragile. something that, if cracked, would not mend cleanly. she does not fear death. she fears failure. fears the quiet, unbearable truth that no matter how steady her hand, no matter how sharp her blade —
it may never be enough to restore what was lost. and if the world remembers house selmy not for what it was, but for what it became — she will not scream. she will not break.
she will simply stand, blade in hand, and endure, until there is nothing left of her, but the name she refused to let die.
ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑐𝑎𝑛𝑜𝑛𝑠.
— elyra wakes before dawn every single day, no matter where she is. even in the red keep, even after sleepless nights. there’s something almost ritualistic about it — like if she lets herself rest too long, she’ll lose control of the only thing she truly owns: discipline.
— she keeps her father’s name alive in the smallest ways. not spoken — never spoken — but etched into the inside of her armor, hidden where no one will see it. not for sentiment. for remembrance.
— she rarely removes her armor completely unless she absolutely has to. there’s always something on — a bracer, a blade, a layer. being unguarded feels… wrong.
— she does not pray like others do. no kneeling, no whispered pleas. instead, she trains. to her, perfection is prayer. every precise strike is an offering to something that may or may not be listening.
— she has a habit of standing just slightly behind and to the side of saerys, always within reach. not obvious. not suffocating. but constant. like a shadow that learned restraint.
— when saerys disappears (which he absolutely does), she doesn’t panic outwardly — but her search becomes relentless, almost frighteningly focused. she doesn’t stop until she finds him.
— she does not raise her voice. ever. the angrier she is, the quieter she becomes — and that’s when she’s the most dangerous.
— she remembers every failure. not just hers — but others’. files them away, studies them, refuses to repeat them. it makes her terrifyingly efficient… and quietly unforgiving.
— she has a soft spot for horses, but you’d only notice it if you were paying very close attention. it’s one of the only times her movements lose that rigid precision.
— she does not touch people. not casually, not instinctively. the only exception is duty — steadying, pulling back, protecting. which makes every accidental brush of contact feel… heavier than it should.
— she is deeply uncomfortable with praise. not because she doesn’t want it — but because she doesn’t trust it. praise feels temporary. expectation feels permanent.
— she’s hyper-aware of how she’s perceived in the kingsguard. not insecure — but calculating. she knows she has less room for error than anyone else, and she acts accordingly.
— if someone insults her, she doesn’t react. if someone insults her house… that’s different. that’s the one place where emotion cracks through — sharp, immediate, controlled but felt.
— she has scars she refuses to treat properly at first. almost like she believes she should carry them. like healing too quickly would be… undeserved.
— she sleeps lightly. always. the kind of sleep where the smallest sound pulls her awake, hand already halfway to a weapon before her mind catches up.
— she does not think of what she feels for saerys as love. she refuses that word entirely. in her mind, it’s duty misaligned. something that needs to be corrected.
— but she notices everything about him anyway. the way he moves when he thinks no one is watching. the shifts in his tone. the silences. she catalogues it all without meaning to.
— and the worst part?
she is beginning to understand him.
which is far more dangerous than not understanding him at all.

4. biography.
lucretia lannister was born in casterly rock, with a cry so fierce and hoarse that the midwives, for one suspended and foolish moment, believed her a son. the mistake amused her father more than it disappointed him. lord terrence lannister, still young enough then to sire more children, took the deed as an omen rather than an insult. the girl was not denied the education of a lady. instead, she was given both worlds in full measure. tutors came and went through the rock, teaching her courtly etiquette, music, hosting, and anything else expected of a noblewoman, just as others instructed her in history, warfare, strategy, and westerosi politics. she learned it all. she absorbed it all. still, lucretia found herself drawn, again and again, to the weightier things. it was not that she could not play the lady. she simply preferred not to linger there.
lord terrence lannister was not a sentimental man, though he loved his children with a ferocity that bordered on the immovable. lucretia grew up idolizing him, but as she aged, the golden veneer wore thin, revealing the cold iron beneath his might. she came to understand that his love did not exist apart from his duty, and that the rock would always come first. to him, she was a daughter, an heir, and a piece on the board, utilized as easily as any bannerman or alliance. he sharpened her as he would any blade meant to endure, handing her every tool she might need, even as he made it painfully clear that her personhood would never outweigh what was required of her blood. and that understanding hardened her.
at seventeen, the title of knight was added to her name. her strikes, and her absolute command of the longsword left no room for doubt. yet there were those who loathed her for it, bitter lords who still cursed queen rhaenyra for letting women touch steel, but their anger changed nothing. she rode, fought, and studied with a discipline that bordered on severity, carving a place for herself in a world that would have preferred her ornamental. she did not argue her right to stand among men. she simply stood, and let her towering presence do the speaking. but skill, for all its brilliance, did not grant her freedom from expectation. if anything, her exceeding competence bound her tighter to it. as heir to casterly rock, her body was not entirely her own; it was a vessel for legacy, for continuity, for the unbroken line her father refused to see diluted.
their arguments over the matter were not usually screaming matches, but rather immovable, grinding stalemates. lucretia wanted women. she had always wanted women, and she possessed no desire to hide that truth. lord terrence, for all his pride in her, would not bend. duty came first. blood came first. the west could not afford ambiguity in its succession, not in an age where the realm itself seemed poised to fracture. and so, at thirty, she did what was required of her. she married lord brendan of house serrett. it was a political match, nothing more, nothing less. she was civil to him, at times even amicable, but there was no illusion of tenderness between them. he was a means to an end, and he understood that much, if not the full extent of it. within a year, he had given her heirs, twin girls, strong and wailing, their survival secured past the fragile threshold of infancy. and with that, the purpose of the marriage had been fulfilled.
it lasted three years in total. when the twins turned one, lord brendan died on the road, his carriage waylaid by bandits in what was reported as an unfortunate but unremarkable tragedy. there were murmurs, of course. there are always murmurs when death arrives too conveniently. some even suspected that lucretia’s hand had not been entirely absent from the matter. but suspicion without evidence means nothing, and lucretia gave them nothing to accuse her with. she mourned as she was expected to, clad in black, composed, impeccable in her grief. she performed widowhood as flawlessly as she had performed wifehood, and when the year of mourning passed, she emerged from it unburdened and unbothered.
motherhood remained the only territory she refused to surrender. myrcella and cyrelle were not just the required continuation of the golden line. they were the absolute only things in her life that belonged wholly to her. the iron that defined lucretia did not rust when she looked at them, but it bent, forming a quiet, vicious ring of protection around their lives. she looked at the heavy compromises she had been forced to swallow and vowed her girls would never taste the same poison. she would raise them to be sharp enough to cut their own paths, perfectly aware of the world but never imprisoned by it. they would be capable, but they would be uncaged. or so she fiercely promised herself.
today, lucretia is a creature of lethal fluidity. knight, lady, widow, heir. she glides between titles, refusing to let the court reduce her to just one. her blade stays sharp, though experience has cured her of mistaking skill for invincibility. she takes her lovers quietly and without apology, severing attachments before they can mutate into liabilities. she hides nothing of her nature. she simply denies the realm the chance to weaponize it. but now, the winds are turning. with aegon the unworthy in the ground and daeron the second wearing the crown, the whispers of bastard uprisings are already turning the air sour. the political board is shifting rapidly, and lucretia knows that keeping the west unbroken will be a far heavier burden than her father ever carried.

you were born of the braavosi waters to a mother and the idea of a father. he was a westerosi lord, she said, he gave you his own name. but, your mother was a teller of tales. you never knew if she had been truthful to you. you never will. she took ill around your fourteenth nameday and with all the money she had, sent your across the sea to your father.
you were too young to be sent abroad alone, meant to meet your father at the end of the dock. but, he never showed. you learned that waters are the bastards of these crownlands — sailors laughing at you when you insisted for a lord waters meant to meet your off your ship. the lord of bastards, girl? you stung with embarrassment.
with no money to return to braavos, to see if your mother made it to her grave, you have no choice but to stay. flea bottom hardens you. work as a tavern maid hardens you. handsy customers handled with a harsh left hook, free city sailors charmed with a taste of home. your life changes one day when a man decides to enter it. it is strange. he asks how your valyrian is. your high valyrian. you spit at his feet. he says work on your attitude, girl, and we might make use of you yet. and then, you become a dragonkeeper.
it is a strange job, you learn. to stand next to these grand beasts. to know the targaryens. to watch how they love their dragons. to speak the same language. you wear scales and armour, you soothe the drakes, you stop intruders, you smell like dragon shit at the end of each day.
six years you've been here, the rest of your life you will be.

there is not much to write because you have not lived too much yet.
you were an accident, that much was clear. your deduction is as follows: eleven years younger than your nearest sister, and the gap wider between the elder daynes, you were not meant to be. you are a child when your siblings begin their lives, growing up in the chasm of years between them. the youngest of four, you often feel forgotten more often than not. you are used to trailing after your older siblings. you let yourself be tailored to their liking in exchange for their attention.
ultimately, you are a lonely little thing. your father tries to coax you from your shell but you prefer to linger at his side, sitting by your mother with your embroidery hoops.
you are a cowardly imposter. seven forbid the finger is pointed at you for fear you’ll combust into tears. hiding in the margins of arguments spoken over your head, you learn that it is easier to say nothing. no argument can come from a silent tongue, so you grow quiet around a raised voice, unable to handle an argument.
you are sheltered.
you did not wish for it to be so, but you are so afraid of the world. you wish to be seen, but do not want to be seen for fear of them seeing right through you. seeing you and not liking it. seeing you and — there. you feel it. the seat at the adult table grows further.

#NOBLE // the seven beckon LORD DAEVAN BARATHEON toward them; vainglory, the gilded storm of HOUSE BARATHEON. the 4th born child feels their soul flay open just as judgement is shackling to a venom-laced pride, gripping it tightly as mercy fights with a hunger to be undeniable. traits guidance sees in the dreams of a rebellion with an accompaniment from strength and courage as they offer a longsword kissed by thunder. all while innocence encapsulates memories of them — a blade kept not for glory, but for necessity — lightning unraveling the heavens in jagged veins of gold, illuminating the black sea below for only a heartbeat before swallowing it whole again; silk cloaks torn loose by stormwind, snapping violently against stone battlements as if trying to take flight; the distant roar of waves breaking endlessly against storm’s end, relentless, unyielding, eternal; rings glinting faintly in candlelight as long fingers drum in quiet impatience against carved armrests — so they are remembered when the unknown flickers into view, dragging them towards their end, to be rendered insignificant, to bow where he believes he should stand, to become nothing more than a forgotten echo beneath another’s name.

i.
storms do not ask to be born. they arrive — violent, inevitable. storm’s end did not quiet itself for him. the sea still crashed against its walls, the wind still howled through its towers, and somewhere within it all, a child drew his first breath not as a promise — but as a challenge. daevan baratheon did not cry for long.
whatever softness infancy might have offered was short-lived, swallowed by a house that did not nurture gentleness. he was not the first son carved from storm and expectation, but he would not be another forgotten echo of it either. his name was not whispered. it was spoken with certainty — as though it already belonged to something that would not be ignored. and from the beginning, there was something… wrong in the way he looked at the world. not with wonder. but with judgment.
ii.
daevan baratheon. the heir. the storm made flesh. the boy who did not bend. children learn kindness before cruelty, they say — but daevan learned hierarchy. instinctive, immediate. the understanding that some stood above, and most beneath. he did not seek approval. he expected it.
storm’s end raised him in iron and expectation, in the unspoken demand that he be strong, louder, greater — but daevan did not roar like the others. he did not need to. where his kin burned hot and reckless, he simmered. quieter. sharper. controlled in a way that made his anger far more dangerous. he learned early the weight of silence.
how to look at someone long enough for discomfort to settle beneath their skin. how to speak just enough to wound, never enough to reveal. his words were not loud — they were precise. cutting in ways that lingered. he did not fight for attention. it came to him regardless. beauty helped. he knew that.
used it. weaponized it. because while others relied on brute force, daevan understood something far more valuable: perception is power. and he would never be seen as anything less than untouchable.
iii.
daevan baratheon, the storm that does not pass. ambition was not a hunger for him. it was certainty. he did not dream of greatness — he assumed it. not loudly, not foolishly, but with the quiet arrogance of someone who has never truly been denied. the world, in his mind, was not something to conquer.
it was something that would, eventually, arrange itself around him. those he deemed worthy were few. those he did not were… nothing.
he did not hide his disdain. there was no need. it lived in the curve of his mouth, in the way his gaze lingered just a second too long before dismissing. in the subtle cruelty of a comment delivered too smoothly to be called anger, too sharp to be ignored.
he did not explode. he eroded. slowly. deliberately. until there was nothing left worth acknowledging. and yet — for all his control, for all his precision — there was still a storm within him. restless. violent. waiting. because control is not the absence of chaos. it is the decision to hold it back.
iv.
in a realm where power shifts like tides and crowns sit heavy upon unsteady heads, daevan baratheon does not wait to be moved by it.
he watches. calculates. chooses. the stormlands remain as they have always been — unyielding, loud, bound to a legacy of strength that few dare challenge. but daevan is not interested in legacy alone.
he is interested in dominion.
not the kind won in a single battle, shouted across bloodied fields — but the kind that settles quietly, inevitably. the kind that does not need to prove itself because it is already understood.
he does not trust easily. does not care to. alliances are tools. loyalty is conditional. respect is earned — and even then, never fully given. there is something dangerous in him. not just in what he does. but in what he believes himself capable of doing.
and if the world expects thunder from a baratheon — noise, fury, spectacle — it will be disappointed. because daevan is not the storm that announces itself. he is the one that builds slowly on the horizon, darkening the sky, until it is far too late to run.
❁♞chai hansen, male, he/him, thirty-three … #NOBLE // the seven beckon LORD MATHOS TYRELL toward them; a golden, dancer of HOUSE TYRELL. the heir to highgarden feels their soul flay open just as judgement is shackling to a crafty nature, gripping it tightly as mercy fights with spiritedness. traits guidance sees in the dreams of a rebellion with an accompaniment from strength and courage as they offer a saber, curved and delicate, with a golden handle on one end, and a touch of venom on the other. all while innocence encapsulates memories of them — tourney crowns of molten gold, peacock feathered fans flaming years old rivalries, bundles of hemlock dotting the altar of the mother, laughing knights riding through endless mazes — so they are remembered when the unknown flickers into view, dragging them towards their end, death. just death. anything else, he is certain he can bear for the world is not so harsh. death, though, is unknown.

cw lowkey mentions of death and injuries and drink
there is nothing one must know about lord mathos tyrell other than the fact that he is charming, gallant, knightly, and, of course, handsome. he loves a good bit of fun: a goblet of hippocras, a walk through the beautiful gardens of highgarden, a tourney won, a hunt with friends...
if some of these activities lead to the brutal end of any of his friends, that may or may not leave him with a scarred mind and some secrets to keep. it happens to the best of us, and mathos is, in fact, among the very best of us!
the title of heir to the reach may have been given to him based on nothing but the woman he was born to, but mathos will have you know he has worked very hard during his years squiring in king's landing, and that his knighthood was earned and not gifted. now, tourneys also have their sacrifices, a scar here, lack of mobility there, some brutal ends if you are not good enough...mathos is good enough.
nothing can weigh him down. he has never fallen into the throes of sadness, and he never will. life is peaceful, wonderful, meant to be enjoyed. he will enjoy it to the fullest. his mind is not a horse running in circles with plans of anything, at all, ever, actually. only think of the good. he loves his family (his mother is the most beautiful woman in westeros; it is known.); he adores his friends (all of them, even those who are no longer with us..............). the world is the garden in his backyard.
if you see a knight laughing, dressed in armor of gold, say hello! he may give you something beautiful.
