╰┈➤ ❝ Lord Tybolt left no heir of the body save for a daughter, Cerelle, three years of age, whose reign as Lady of Casterly Rock proved cruelly short. ❞
The only child of Tybolt Lannister and Teora Kyndall, Cerelle was born in the same year as her father competing in the Ashford Tourney. Tybolt was a champion of the joust, and during his time as Lord fought against the Greyjoy raids. Despite being young and healthy, he suddenly passed away under 'suspicious circumstances', leaving Cerelle to inherit at the mere age of 3.
During her time as Lady, her Uncle Gerold served as regent, having also been his brother's closest advisor. Cerelle was the first female Lady of Casterly Rock, though there had previously been female regents. She died under a year into her reign, also under suspicious circumstances.
While Gerold would go on to prove a highly capable Lord, he was widely suspected of having murdered not just his brother, but also his child niece. Lady Ellyn Tarbeck, one of the lead instigators of the Castamere Rebellion, named one of her children Cerelle to spite Gerold's line; it is worth noting that she named one of her other children Rohanne, for Gerold's second wife who also vanished under suspicious circumstances.

Summary: Reader is the daughter of Torrhen Stark (The King Who Knelt) and becomes the third wife and Queen to Aegon the Conqueror. Her first visit down south to meet the Targaryen King is one that leaves the young wolf to question everything. She comes to realise only one thing: Starks don’ t cope well down south.
Lady Dyanna Dayne was noblewoman of House Dayne of Starfall. She became the wife of Maekar I Targaryen, and was Princess of Summerhall through marriage to Maekar. She is the mother of Daeron, Aerion, Aemon, Aegon, Daella, and Rhae Targaryen. Unfortunately Dyanna died well before 209 AC, before Maekar’s accession to the throne. Thus, she was never able to be Queen Consort. She was Maekar I Targaryen’s only wife.
