The Summer Islands

The summer isles are an archipelago consisting of more than fifty islands covered in rich flora and fauna, each island ruled by a prince or princess. Its three biggest islands are Walano, Omboru, and Jhala. Their variety of resources, such as gemstones, spices, wood, and animals, make them popular trading partners.

The summer islanders are known for wearing capes of colorful feathers and traveling in swan ships. They have religious practices such as carving their histories in the Talking Trees and serving in the Temples of Love.

-> Yetide Badaki as Chataya

A handsome woman, Tyrion reflected as he watched her go. He had seldom seen such elegance and dignity in a whore. Though to be sure, she saw herself more as a kind of priestess.

And to add more on my previous post, all of the main female characters (with the exception of Arianne Martell) in the main series of ASOIAF are representations of white femininity.

Every single one.

And that is because they are literally white. It doesn’t make them bad characters or anything.

I’ve talked about it before hand, but anytime George is writing a character of color, especially a black woman, he uses racist stereotypes and imagery. Every time.

There’s a reason why Dorne and the Summer Isles are sexually liberated, and why the Dothraki are portrayed as vicious ‘savages’ with hardly any redeeming values to their culture.

There’s a reason why Arianne’s exposure to sex and intimacy at ten years old is not framed the same way as say, Sansa’s.

There’s a reason why Chataya and her daughter are brutalized and reminiscent of the Jezebel trope.
