Elia Martell & her mother
Loreza raising Elia differently compared to her brothers. Elia wondering why she suddenly isn't allowed to play with the other kids in the Water Gardens anymore. Loreza preparing Elia to become a proper Westerosi bride. Elia wondering why her friends are allowed to run around and kiss boys and race their horses across the desert. Loreza unintentionally isolating Elia from the culture around her.
Elia crying when Oberyn is sent away from the Water Gardens— and her. Loreza telling Elia to always be proper and presentable. Elia wondering why her brother had never been told that. Doran leaving for a voyage to a different continent. Elia wishing she could come along. Loreza telling Elia she is meant for court and needs to learn how to be a lady. Elia wondering what that means, she is a princess. Loreza always leaving for Sunspear for diplomatic matters. Elia wondering why no one stays.
