HOUSE LAVERIS

COAT OF ARMS — five lavender branches with green leaves on a beige field WORDS — Our Roots Run Deep SEAT — Fieldswatch REGION — The Reach OVERLORD — House Tyrell

🪻House Laveris from the Reach resides in a beautiful area surrounded with lavender fields. They are known merchants and excellent diplomats. Their wealth comes from producing luxury goods like scented oils, soaps and fabrics. 🪻

NOTE — Not that I want to steal the purple aesthetics from House Dayne but I got this idea of a castle surrounded with lavender fields and I couldn't stop imagining how beautiful the place would be. It's inspired by Provance in France of course. Obviously, I had to put them in the Reach.

HOUSE MOROV

COAT OF ARMS — a two-headed brown eagle on a mustard yellow field WORDS — We Remember the Old Ways SEAT — Eagle Keep REGION — The Riverlands OVERLORD — House Tully

🦅 House Morov from the northern Riverlands is a very old house that values honour, pride and tradition above all else. Even though they converted to the Faith of Seven, they remain loyal to the old gods. They are known for being able to adapt to harsh environment and they're excellent warriors that stand out on the battlefield because their armours are decorated with wings. 🦅

NOTE — It's obviously a house inspired by Slavic culture (especially Western and Eastern). Many years ago, I think around the first season of House of The Dragon I posted about it a few times. The wings attached to the armour is inspired by real-life Polish army from history.

LADY SAERENA CELTIGAR

ALIASES — The Widow Sister, The Dragon's Shadow TITLES — Lady ALLEGIANCE — House Celtigar, House Targaryen FATHER — Lord Oswell Celtigar MOTHER — Lady Alyra of Pentos SPOUSE — Prince Viserys Targaryen, Ser Jorah Mormont

☀️ Lady Saerena Celtigar is the only child of Lord Oswell Celtigar and his wife Lady Alyra of Pentos. Her father was deceased during Robert's Rebellion while protecting House Targaryen he was loyal to. His wife was Queen Rhaella's most trusted lady-in-waiting.

☀️ Lady Alyra gave birth to her daughter shortly before the end of the war. To reward House Celtigar's loyalty, Queen Rhaella promised that Lady Saerena would become her son's Queen one day. Lady Alyra and her infant child fled to Dragonstone with the Queen and Prince Viserys. After Rhaella's death after giving birth to Princess Daenerys, Lady Alyra took all the children with her to keep them safe in Pentos where her family lived.

☀️ Saerena was a few years old when her mother died of illness. Her family helped the orphaned children but only in the beginning, which led Viserys, Daenerys and Saerena to be left alone and completely dependent on each other. Saerena was always addressed as their "sister" even though she looked nothing like them and Viserys was training her to be his future wife and Queen.

☀️ Burdened with raising two little girls not much younger than him while fighting for survival, Viserys was often abusive towards Saerena and Daenerys. Two "sisters" shared a strong bond that seemed impossible to break or vanish.

☀️ When Ser Jorah Mormont joined Viserys, the Prince made the exiled knight his betrothed's sworn guard. Jorah was supposed to protect Saerena whenever Viserys could not while they would travel with the Dothraki army, which was most of the time since Viserys' madness was starting to get worse around that time. To keep appearances, Saerena was supposed to be addressed as "The Queen" already. Especially by her sworn guard.

☀️ She grew very attached to Ser Jorah who was protective over her and seemed to be always there for and with her. After Viserys' tragic death, Saerena lost her position and the whole identity she was raised to become. She remained Daenerys' companion and sister while a romantic relationship developed slowly between her and the man who remained her sworn guard even though she was no longer his Queen.

☀️ Saerena's skills she learnt from Viserys remain useful because she advises Daenerys when it comes to diplomacy and politics. She earned the titles of The Widowed Sister because of Viserys's death and The Dragon's Shadow because she is always standing beside or behind Daenerys. Her sister's dragon Viserion is very attached to Saerena and he often protects her.

NOTE — This is my oldest Game of Thrones OC that is over ten years old now. I am honestly stunned that I still am so crazy about this plot after so much time although of course I was changing it as I grew older and more creative. Viserys and Jorah were two of my first crushes in the whole universe so this OC feels special to me. I really like how Saerena and Jorah are a "Lady and her sworn Knight" trope but in a raw way because she is in exile and lost everything and he is dishonoured and feels unworthy of her.

PRINCESS SOFYA BARATHEON

ALIASES — The Doe Princess, The Sister of Kings TITLES — Princess, Queen ALLEGIANCE — House Baratheon, House Stark FATHER — Lord Steffon Baratheon MOTHER — Lady Cassana Estermont SIBLINGS — King Robert I Baratheon, "King" Stannis Baratheon, "King" Renly Baratheon SPOUSE — King Robb Stark

🐺 Princess Sofya Baratheon is the youngest child of Lord Steffon Baratheon. Her parents died when she was an infant. Her brother Renly was too young to take care of her and Stannis' wife did not agree to raise the girl, King Robert took her to the Red Keep where she was raised by him and his wife Cersei Lannister.

🐺 The relationship between the women is fragile because the Queen is jealous of the Princess and of her influence on her older brother. Sofya is close to her nephews and nieces although she doesn't see Shireen often enough.

🐺 Sofya is a few years older than Lord Eddard Stark's eldest son Robb. When he was born, King Robert arranged a future marriage union between his sister and his best friend's son. He is sure that Ned's son must be as honourable as his father. Besides that, he wishes for his beloved sister to leave King's Landing as far away as possible so she would be safe from the courtly schemes. Sofya, however, hates the idea of going North and marrying a stranger, especially from there.

🐺 When the whole royal family leaves for the North, Sofya knows she will not come back to King's Landing because she is going to be married to Robb Stark once they reach Winterfell. The couple is not fond of each other indeed from the beginning because they are both prejudiced. She thinks Robb is simple and harsh like all men in the North, meanwhile he finds her spoiled and annoying. Sofya befriends Jon, Sansa, Arya, Bran, Rickon and Grey Wind, though, which frustrates her betrothed.

🐺 As time passes, Sofya and Robb must learn how to run Winterfell on their own. Things complicate even further when he is being crowned the King in The North, meanwhile his bannermen do not trust his wife because she grew up around Lannisters. Sofya has to adapt to completely new life far away from her home and prove her worth in the North.

NOTE — I once posted a fanfic about them on Wattpad... If you have ever read it, I am sorry. It's no longer up because it was awful. However, this OC lives in my head rent free for nearly ten years or even more now. It's crazy how time flies.
