Anne Connelly (Servant in House of Lannister)



Independent and strong-willed, Anne will only listen to the person who is above her, which is the cook in the house of Lannister. With long, wavy, brown hair and a tall build, Anne doesn’t seem like a very good example of a scullery maid. She often wanders off in search of adventure in the castle, most of the time getting in trouble. But nobody really minds because she gets all her work done in a mostly timely manner. Anne's favorite pass-times are gardening, cooking, and walking when she isn't busy to keep in shape. She hates when people pity her because it makes her feel like she needs them, when she doesn't. She is the most self-dependent person on this earth. When she was young, about seven years old, her parents died. She was then shipped off to an orphanage in which she refused to let anybody love her or even talk to her. After she was about nineteen years old, she was captured by bandits and sold on a slave black market between houses. Eventually, she made it to the House Lannister and escaped by herself. She wandered around the city, starving and cold. She decided to look for work inside the castle and was accepted as a mere scullery maid. She is fed, though, and safe. There might even be a love in the future....

King Valgar the Bear of Greyjoy



The first thing you notice about Valgar when you first meet him is his sheer enormity. Valgar comes in at exactly 8''1 with very broad shoulders and a muscular, strong-as-a-bull frame. Imposing and frightening, it's a wonder he himself didn't overthrow the Lannister Iron Throne. People describe their king as ruthless and even somewhat savage at times. Needless to say, Valgar won't take 'no' for an answer and isn't afraid to fight for what he wants. He has shiny black hair and cold green-blue eyes. He has a tattoo on his left shoulder of a skull. It is said that Valgar was abandoned by his real parents in the forest and was raised by a female bear who had no cubs of her own. This is, amazingly, true. After the bear died, Valgar hung around a human village, noticing that they looked just like him. Remarkably, the Queen of Greyjoy was visiting the village and noted the little boy and decided on a whim to take him home and raise him as her own son because she had no children of her own. Therefore, she took pity on the young four-year-old. While he was raised in a strict and very proper environment, he never completely lost his animalistic instincts and never forgot the way in which he was first raised. His favorite thing in the world is the hung; chasing around foxes, deer, and birds- but never bears. When he was eighteen years old, the boy's adopted father fell ill with a horrible illness that had only been seen twice before. Valgar's father died two days later and his life was thrown into immediate chaos. Luckily, Valgar was trained how to be a king before his father died and took the throne quickly and easily enough. He had been courting a young noblewoman named Lady Veil and married her for strategy. He seamlessly assumed his less-than-rightful place as king. His adoptive mother died a year later. When you are around Valgar, I would suggest you respect him because he demands respect from everybody and it'd be easier if you just accept that fact.

Freyr the Clever



The prodigal eldest son of the royal line of the Arryn house, Freyr is good at nearly everything he picks up. In fact, so good that it's irritating. If he tries to paint, he'll come up with a masterpiece. If he cooks, he'll whip up a feast fit for, well, a king. But the best things he does are strategizing a battle plan and swordplay. However, he does have flaws. His biggest flaw is his ambition. He has always wanted to be the king of his house, to lead his family to greatness. Even though he already has the throne in his grasp he is still frightened that something might take his birth-given title. Constantly on the watch, Freyr never leaves his room without some method of protection on his person. He normally has a sword at his waist and at least two other daggers. Call him paranoid- if something goes wrong in his life he will be ready. But other than his flaws, Freyr is a very handsome young man. With light brown, slightly mussed hair and smoldering green-blue eyes, the boy could have his pick of women... if he was even slightly interested. The truth about Freyr is that he lives a lonely existence. He has no real friends because his cocky personality often drives people away from him. Nobody truly understands him. Perhaps sometime in the future he will find love...

Annika Martell (Ward of Martell House)



Annika is the perfect example of a prim, proper young lady. She is quiet, demure, and reserved; all the qualities a husband in these times would want. She doesn't talk back, won't express her opinion unless it is asked for, and never really talks. Annika is, in fact, doesn't have much of a personality. Nobody ever wanted her to show it. When she was young, her best friend was a young servant boy who allowed her to be herself- her real self. He was kind to her but also allowed her to have fun. But when he died in a horrible accident, Annika was never the same. She became what she is today- silent. Nobody knew her relationship with the young boy and therefore only noticed the day she changed. Nobody ever asked her how she was; nobody really ever cared. Her jet black hair is always kept up in a bun with a braid around her head, and her odd violet eyes are always accented with the smallest amount of makeup. Annika never lets anybody see her cry- but she still mourns the loss of her only friend. Perhaps that's the key to her being less uptight- perhaps she only needs a friend.

Elisa Arryn



With long, flowing, caramel brown hair and blue eyes, Elisa is a bit of an eye-catcher. She has a slender figure mounted on long, graceful legs and small, dainty feet. Elisa has soft, creamy white skin and full lips that are always as pink as a fresh rose. Elisa is quite proper, but she isn't exactly uptight. It was merely drilled into her head to be very... royal. She is very smart because she fills her days with lessons in languages and math, even though she knows that only boys get to go to a real school. Elisa has her own private tutor who tells her that it is very important to keep learning for the rest of her days. The princess can speak a few languages semi-fluently, but she speaks Dothraki very fluently. She is prone to being a bit too wise for her age and might come off as a bit snobby if she corrects about something, but other than those, Elisa is very kind and clever. (More TBA)
