- ̗̀ ❝ ALYSSANDRA TARGARYEN.

               Alyssandra had been enjoying mostly the music and the dancing, the food was something she got every day, the enjoyment of dancing and laughing in large companies were only given very rarely. But if she needed a rest, she exited the dance floor with grace and found herself sipping on a goblet of water, she always pretended to drink wine but in reality she hated the impaired effects it had on people, she rarely ever did drink it. Mostly in company of her sisters and only then. “Enjoying the celebrities, I hope.” She began to speak when she felt the presence of someone near her. “I have been doing so myself, is nice to see my home so alive for a change.” 

             — ✦ ABSENTMINDED CHATTER, had never been lyssa’s ideal choice for entertainment but when found surrounded by far too many people each willing to carry a conversation for far longer than one should be... well she was willing to let such annoyance pass. besides, one could still learn MUCH by listening. was it her favorite way? no, hands on was a far more rewarding experience but regardless she was amused which would mean the evening served it’s purpose at least in her regard right? “ it would be difficult not to, your highness. “ the lady instantly replied as she recognized the voice that spoke to her. “ i’d dare say that one must be absolutely DEAD inside to now allow themselves such honor. “ a bit too much of a compliment? perhaps, but regardless making a positive impression on their hosts was an important part of it all. “ i’ve seen more things HAPPEN here, than i have for most of my entire life in winterfell. “ different sort of things, but she was sure that that point wasn’t necessary to make. “ and i must admit, the feeling is quite daunting. “

- ̗̀ ❝ DARYN STARK.

                       HE DOES HIMSELF AND HIS HOUSE A GREAT DISSERVICE WITH HOW DEEPLY he allows himself to fall into his cups, his mother’s words about maintaining the STARK PRIDE and making absolute certain that no one bearing the stark name brought shame to it ring true in his head now. this wasn’t the SMOKING LOG in WINTER TOWN it was THE RED KEEP in KING’S LANDING and it was the wrong place to presuppose comfort or the idea that he could properly unwind. there were hundreds of eyes on him yet here he sat the LORD OF WINTERFELL head cloudier than a day in the north, a warmth ignited pleasantly in the hearth of his gut, and a heavy gaze. in hindsight reaching for the pitcher of wine instead of allowing the bearer designated for the task to do her job is foolhardy but he means to refill his cup as well as his companion’s–––wine makes him jovial mother always says–––but with an unsteady hand he makes an unsurprising mess of it all. misses their cup altogether and there’s an apology dancing on his tongue but he must make himself appear further the fool–––ends with wine staining his doublet and clumsy fingers, in a shockingly  inappropriate display, working to undress himself of the garment right then. it’s fine, he thinks, there’s the poet’s shirt beneath. 

❛ GODS BE CURSED, they’ve read my mind and rid me of this garment but did so in the most unfit of ways. then again, i suppose that is the way of the gods is it not? to find humor where, in truth, there is none. ❜ a pause for remembrance it would seem and then that apology from before tumbles forth. ❛ ––– you’ll have to excuse my rather uncoordinated display wine never has agreed with me, and an endless amount of it even less so.  ❜  

           — ✦ ORGANIZED CHAOS and foreign, the brunette found herself feeling like a fish out of water. unable to really find a place within her surroundings, but regardless she was enjoying herself so much life seemed to breathe in the world around her but most importantly the array of different personalities was alluring. observing all of the great houses interact with each other had turned into an even greater form of entertainment than the lady actually realized. now it wasn’t exactly what she had come to know while growing up in the walls of winterfell, but regardless it did bring it’s own form of excitement. at least until she found herself, trapped in conversation with what had to be the dullest and most terribly uninteresting man in the room. 

          doing her best to keep up with his conversation, dark eyes grew blank as the man boldly asked for a dance. an offer which she was going to refuse as politely as the gods allowed her to be, when the sudden sound of metal clanging and the spilling of wine pulled her attention away from the significantly older gentleman as she did her best to hide the now entertained smile that dawned on rose colored lips. “ pity that our dance, must wait after that now more than visible stain is taken care of my lord. “  the words slipped her lips in a sickly sweet but apologetic tone, the relief she felt perfectly hidden until the man walked away.

          “ be it the gods or the simple fact that you dear brother are ENJOYING yourself for a change... “ she began, pausing for a second as she formulated her next words, as she reached for her own cup of wine, raising to her lips only to scrunch her nose in disapproval. she would never understand the fascination with the red substance that now filled it. “ i must thank you, — breaking hearts by refusing to DANCE, is simply much more difficult than i could have ever anticipated. “ she joked as she reached for her brother’s arm. “ we must take care of that stain. “ privately. an unfinished thought, but she did see her as part of her duty to maintain the honor which the stark name so heavily carried. however she was careful not to undermine her eldest sibling in public, he was the WARDEN OF THE NORTH after all and being babied by a sibling? a sister no less? not the impression she wanted him to make. so she didn’t outright address the rest of the lords and ladies who’d been in the way of his wine, that would make the mistake all the more present ( even more so than it was now ) “ but between us, i don’t believe the wine has AGREED with anyone. “  and that was easy to see, most of the guests were stumbling and fumbling themselves. which in fact made her thing that perhaps the little ‘ incident ‘ would be lost among the many others that seemed to be taking place around them.

- ̗̀ ❝ WYLLA TARGARYEN.

          wylla has been drinking wine since the early afternoon. poor form, certainly, but the pressure of the past few days was beginning to get to her head, and so she’d had a case of arbor gold sent up from the cellars. cupbearers and serving girls had kept her glass full throughout the first few courses, and now, as the summer sun was setting the gardens aglow with golden light, she was well and truly in her cups. as the music swelled, she rose ( rather unsteadily ) from her seat on the raised dais, glancing around before setting her sights on a nearby attendee. 

          “by the gods, i don’t think i could eat another bite — i must do something else. please, dance with me !” she implored, failing to contain a burst of giggles.

               — ✦ THE ATMOSPHERE was grand and far more lively than anything the little lady had ever seen. foreign and strange were the next adjectives to cross the stark girl’s mind as doe eyes looked around in strange fascination. her surroundings felt a bit daunting but nevertheless lyssa had never turned down an adventure and she wasn’t about to set that precedent now. the young girl looked around for a familiar face, because who better to pester than a sibling? not to mention hiding behind the intimidating face that was her brother would probably keep her from having to deal with ‘ unwanted ‘ advances. gracefully making her way across the room, the brunette was pulled out of her thoughts as she found herself in the presence of her queen. 

                “ it would be an honor your grace — however and the gods will attest to this, i do not believe i am the most CAPABLE dancer. “ after all when had winterfell seen such things? “ but if you do not mind a few injured toes, then the honor is mine. “ the brunette finished with a curtsey and a light laugh.

*.:｡ ✧( LILY COLLINS, EIGHTEEN, SHE/HER ) a little bird told me that they have seen ( ALYSSA STARK ) roaming the capital, the ( lady ) of ( WINTERFELL ), and loyal to ( HOUSE STARK ). there have been whispers that they’re ( CHARMING & ADVENTUROUS ). however, some would say that they’re ( NAIVE & IMPULSIVE ). may the old gods and the new gods be watching over them !

first thing first, her name is lyssa, the only people who ever call her by her full name would be her mother and siblings. cross her on a bad enough day and she will be keen to ignore you, if you address her in a form she does not like. the youngest lady of house stark and quite possibly the softest? but who’s ever heard of a soft wolf? she’s lived a life time of contradictions. while she’s no stranger to the harshness of the world around her, lyssa chooses to employ kindness after all one does win over more flies with honey than vinegar. 

that said, as much as the young woman chooses to rise above most situations if pushed enough and under the right circumstances she can be vicious. most importantly for the sake of her family, nothing comes before or above her loyalty to the people she loves. which often makes her easy to manipulate, in the sense that as long as she believes that what she’s doing is for the well being and safety of a loved one well she’s willing. 

graceful but often far too playful for her own good. in fact she’s always been of the belief that her cheerful personality does not match up with the dreary atmosphere of the north,the catch? she has a short fuse. she’s easily annoyed and more often than not will snap at someone without meaning to and she has the habit of saying pretentious things in such a sickly sweet way, that no one ever knows if she’s aware that she’s insulted anyone.  charming to a fault, she can compliment just about anyone and make it sound genuine and she’s very good at getting people to appreciate and like her. which in turn makes it such a surprise when someone sees right through the person she’s attempting to be? ( honestly i just need someone who doesn’t buy her ‘ i’m an angel ‘ act so hmu ) she doesn’t do well with being un-liked, and she’ll probably be extremely bitter about it. very much of the mentality of treating others the way they treat her and while she does her best to maintain her kind and understanding personality she is prone to show contempt if another person does first.

quietly rebellious, the young woman loves adventures but she’s also keenly aware of what’s expected of her so she’s found a medium. she practices needle point, has learned her manners and speaks like a lady because she has to. however she doesn’t place her faith in those things alone it is her belief that a woman should be well balanced as much as a man should be. so she’s well versed in other matters, she’s mastered the bow and arrow quite wel, politics and some military tactic she’s learned to lead as well as any other man. however there is a difference from being capable to actually putting it into practice. ( she’s chooses the later at least until pushed ) the one activity she does indulge in horse back riding, she carries a deep fondness for the outdoors and will find as much time as she possibly can to spend in it. 

curious to a fault, and she has somewhat of a problem respecting authority while she’ll smile and courteously nod her head when given an order the reality is that she’s probably already decided what she’s going to do inside of her head. all while making whoever has given her a command think that she’ll do as they please. she has a natural ability to get others to see things her way ( she is manipulative, without being aware of it ) she is a double edge sword, but she hides under an angelic smile. loves being underestimated because the thrill of proving someone wrong is far too addicting. seeing the look on someone’s face after she’s bested them will always be one of her favorite things. 

she is of the belief that doing ‘ good ‘ will mean that only good things will happen to you. which is where her naive nature comes from, which perhaps has to do with the fact that she is young but as much as she won’t openly admit it she does believe in all of the greatness the songs have inspired over the years. she is a romantic and very much a dreamer in the sense that she’ll let her imagination wander as a way to ignore the realities of what the possibility of an arranged marriage would mean. which speaking of she is unmarried and at eighteen it does seem like she’s a little old for such thing to be true. however the reality is that while she knows that marriage is expected of her well... it’s not something she wants. she is completely willful, and i quite honestly see her having ruined several betrothal propositions, only to turn around and be like i’m angelic i’ve no idea how and why that’s happened. ( she doesn’t want to leave home okay. she loves the north. ) 

romantically speaking she is inexperienced, books and stories are all she has to rely on and she’s quite content with that. does she have questions? does she wonder? of course, but she also understands just how important her maidenhead is in the game that she undoubtedly will have to eventually step up and play. she is however human and a wondering eye is never something to be faulted for, especially when kept under control and a secret. in other words she can look but won’t do? but she can come across as flirtatious in some instances from time to time. chatty, when in the presence of the people she feels she is closest to the young girl can and will talk anyone’s ear off. especially pull them along on any sort of game that she’s made up, because she has a fondness for them. lyssa is the kind of soul that needs to be constantly entertained otherwise she’ll more than likely cause some mischief.

love me, i’m a mess but i am beyond excited to be here so i’m throwing this out there let’s plot! like this i’ll come to you or just message me!
