Although Casella was captivated by the sights and sounds they were being shown, she was equally fascinated in the camel she had been given to ride. She'd never encountered one before. Outside of Dorne they didn't exist elsewhere on the continent, being much more plentiful across the Narrow Sea. The creature's name was Sarhoy, after an ancient Rhoynish city and although incredibly calm, the noblewoman could tell he had a significant strength. Glancing across to the lady riding beside her in the Caravan, the Riverlander studied the other's steed for a moment, smiling. "Have you ever seen a camel before? I suppose if you've been to Dorne before you must have. They truly are intriguing beasts. They almost look as if someone tried to assemble a cow or something or the sort but got bored along the way and made changes."
Caught up in the excitement of the festivities, Casella had perhaps consumed an extra glass of Dornish red...or three. Spinning around, left feeling almost feather-light by the impact of her inebriation, the raven-haired Tully daughter grinned as she caught sight of her eldest sibling standing alone. Maris and baby Violet were likely elsewhere, leaving Oswyck to default to his typical comfort of standing on the sidelines away from any action. Flitting over, the noblewoman gently grasped her brother's hand, tugging lightly on it to move him towards the floor. "Os, please, dance with me?" She pleaded, raising a hopeful eyebrow at her more stoic sibling.

-Although not a Tully by blood, Casella was adopted into the family when she was only a few moons old. Born to the sister of a kitchen serf at Riverrun who died of the bloody flux shortly after bringing her into the world, the ruling ladies of the Riverlands took her in immediately upon request.
-A precocious child, Casella grew up exploring all that Riverrun had to offer, from lessons, running and climbing across the grounds, learning to swim, and charming everyone within reach.
-Although well educated on politics and matters of the realm, as any responsible individual of noble birth ought to be, she remained relatively insulated from the wider concerns of Westeros and was content to enjoy life at Riverrun.
-A major shift occurred when her mother Danelle passed, illuminating in part how sheltered she had been from the world at large. Although Oswyck has worked diligently to fill the role of Ruling Lord with their remaining mother offering support as Dowager, Casella is growing more aware with each passing day of the instability at play.

-Ride or Die: A best friend, likely from another Riverlands house but could be from another region who she considers her closest confidant. They may be loyal to the Crown or the Ashen Promise and be attempting to steer Casella towards one side or another. Or perhaps they are also caught in the middle.
-Trouble Brewing: Someone who for one reason or another is displeased by her betrothal to Kaito Hightower and has an interest in interfering. This individual may have romantic feelings for one of the pair, or other platonic or strategic reasons for wanting the union, and by extension the strengthening of ties between House Tully and House Hightower, to be interrupted.
