The Targy is okay but for the Baratheon, are you trying to pull a Tywin with Castamere?

[gotgirl]

Character Name: Aelinor Targaryen

Character Skills:
Expert: Observation
Expert: Knowledge (Histories of Westeros)
Noteworthy: Charm
Noteworthy: Diplomacy
Apprentice: Stewardship
Apprentice: Persuasion
Novice: Riding
Novice: Language {High and Low Valyrian}
Beginning: Occult
Beginning: Political Intrigue

Character Personal History:
Since her birth The Grand Maester was allowed to personally oversee the maintenance of Aelinor's strict and well-structured education.

Aelinor was made to study with the both the Grand Maester and the Head Wisdom of the Realm to strengthen her observation and knowledge of everything important to her future ambitions to sit beside her future husband of her family and prepare her for rule of the Seven Kingdoms, if needed.

As a triplet, her personality differed from them. For the majority of her life, Aelinor was rarely seen without her nose in a book of some sort or reciting different phrases, poetry or even having conversations in one of the many tongues of the world.


Character Physical Description:
Aelinor has a petite frame, but with a slim, athletic build. Her violet eyes were of an almond shape. While her silvery, blonde hair was waist length, but at most times braided and adorned with beads or pearls.

Her style of dress was not the common attire of Westeros. At first glance, you would have thought her as someone from across the Narrow Sea, she loved to wear the colorful silken and linen garbs much more so than the gowns and dresses of Westeros. In any case, Aelinor was a beautiful sight to behold as if she had stepped from the pages of a Valyrian storybook. It has even been said that she resembled her Great Grandmother Queen Daenerys.


Character Reputation:
Aelinor is a quiet, but very observant girl. She notices many things. Her silence is said to be something to be wary of, it usually means that she is studying her surrounding and taking in everything she can about who and what is going on.

Todric is the son of the Lord of Riverrun, Brandon Tully, and the exiled Blacktyde, Gysella. He learned his lands and how to rule from his father when he had to, but learned all that he could from his mother. Brandon would try to teach him swords and Lances, but Todric preferred to use axes or his fists which his mother would always push for. His mother even made him a small Longboat to sail around the rivers in, and practice his boating. Brandon taught him how to face the enemy with battle tactics, but his mother, and some Iron Island followers, taought him how to ambush his opponents.
Todric fell into a depression when his mother was killed by Iron born raiders on the Red Fork when he was 15. Lord Blacktyde, her brother, claimed to have nothing to do with it, but Todric has held deep hate for his Uncle from that day forward, knowing he was behind it. After her death Todric just was not the same. He drank much more than he ever had and stopped boating around on the rivers. It did not help when his father remarried soon after but that was many years ago, and even though he still holds a grudge against the Blacktydes he has regained his boyish attitude. Until yet another death plagued the lad. His father became very ill and passed away. It did not hit him as hard. Whether or not it was because he just wasn’t as close with his father or that the death of his mother made him more numb to it is unknown, but Todric has ruled over the Riverlands and is well liked for the past five years.

[zeubercat]

Name: Gerold Hightower

Age: 31

Region: Oldtown

Bynames: The Coldeye, for his one blue eye.

Skills:

Expert: Knowledge (Pre-Andal History/Dragons)
Expert: Knowledge (Economics)
Noteworthy: Intrigue
Noteworthy: Sleight of Hand
Apprentice: Observation
Apprentice: Knowledge (Healing)
Novice: Firecalling
Novice: Short Sword
Beginner: Pyromancy
Beginner: Animal Handling

Background: The eldest son of Baelor Hightower, he was amazing when it came to books and knowledge, but couldn’t wield a sword to save his life. Despite being the lawful heir to Oldtown, his father disliked him for inability to fight, and so when his martially proficient younger brother came around, he went to the citadel to become a maester against his family’s wishes. In the citadel, his areas of expertise were dragons and pre-Andal history. Sometime during his stay at the citadel, he lost an eye in an accident (rumor is that his father was behind it), and he gave up becoming a maester and traveled Westeros for over 5 years. He returned less than a year ago. He hates his father, and resents his brother for being the prized son. Currently in King’s Landing.

Appearance: With a medium build, short-cropped black hair, and no beard, Gerold’s only defining feature is his one eye. Blue, merciless, and colder than winter, it reflects his personality well, and is often found unsettling.

Reputation: The Coldeye’s time in the Citadel and 5 years abroad are shrouded in mystery, but he is known for being smart, ruthless, and having little love for his family.

[Ser Gerik Connington]
