[hider=House Velaryon, formerly of Bloodstone, now of Aegon's Isle]

[indent][b]Synopsis[/b]

[indent][color=PaleTurquoise]The regal seahorse of House Velaryon of Bloodstone has traveled far from its home, forced to flee from the Stepstones and the Narrow Sea to the lands of further East, to the shores of Volantis. Lord Paramount Aegon Velaryon, fallen from grace, started a bloody war that consumed the entirety of his home,his lands, and that war could not be won. Thus, ever a step ahead of his foes, he withdrew with his remaining strength, the forces and allies most loyal to him. Left behind the Stepstones, and a new home was found for his people, for his cause. The Orange Shore, and the chain of islands that extend from its picturesque coasts, now fall under the dominion of Aegon, who for the time being, pays homage to Volantis. Now, his two remaining daughters, his little rare turquoise gems, are grown women, each curious to see the world, and to learn the truth as to what happened all those years ago.[/color][/indent]

[b]Demesne[/b]

[indent][color=PaleTurquoise]"Rulership? That is a question for my father. My sister and I, we are on occasion allowed to observe how our father rules, but for the most part, he has us spend our time doing more productive activities rather than listen to as father puts it, 'Old men prattle on about how much gold a barrel of fish costs.' For now, I am content to rule over my garden, and my sister is content to rule over her training yard." Lady Rhaenyra Velaryon.[/color][/indent]

[b]Recent History[/b]

[indent][color=PaleTurquoise]"To be honest, I don't remember too much of what home used to be. It was nice there, when my brothers were still..." She chokes up, and begins to fight back tears. "Whatever happened, my father lost his sons, and I lost my brothers. Mother was never the same, though she took care of us the best she could. That was ten years ago. Since then, well, father found us all a new home, a place we could grow up without fearing the greed of evil men, and the schemers who wanted to take away what father had earned. He doesn't like to talk about it, though he said that one day he will tell us both, when we are old enough to hear it. 

All I can remember is leaving Bloodstone when I was thirteen, and living here ever since. Dad has done a great job to make the island feel alive, to make it a place that anyone can fall in love with. Ten years of exploring the woods, the streams, the caves, the precious gem mine, oh how it glitters... sorry, reminiscing. He named the island after himself, but to my sister and I, this is our home now." Lady Rhaenyra Velaryon. [/color][/indent]

[b]Realm Relations[/b]

[indent][color=PaleTurquoise]"I really don't know why you are asking me... to be honest. Father would be much more helpful than I. I know that father's most loyal vassals followed him here, Lord Vunatis,  he has one of those Valyrian Steel Swords, did you know...  Lord Quanis, you've met him, he has the eye-patch, Lord Cithien, yes, the scary looking one. Sorry, I am not used to having to answer questions. Those are just some of the banner's that followed my father, aside from them, I can't be of much more help. I doubt that we have many friends back home, not since father was betrayed and forced to take us into exile... to protect us from his foes." Lady Rhaenyra Velaryon.[/color][/indent]

[hider="More Detailed" House Relations]

House Targaryen - The Old Queen sits upon the throne, and while she still draws breath, father will never be able to go home, we'll never be able to go home. The Queen murdered our kin, and exiled us. We are enemies until father says otherwise. 

House Greyjoy - They are usurpers, thieves who were granted our home and lands. The vile Kraken defiles all that was once ours, though I know father will drive them back to the sea from whence they came, sending them all packing to their wretched, bleak outcroppings of rock far to the West.

House Velaryon of Driftmark - Our brother in law rules over Driftmark. He is family, though rumors in father's court say he was murdered by the Queen and her Greyjoy bootlickers. I can only hope my sister still lives, and that one day we can be reunited. Lord Aerion is his name, and may he rest in peace, for it seems that even the most loyal and ardent of the Targaryen's followers can not escape their madness.

[b]Storyline Premise[/b]

[indent][color=PaleTurquoise]This is not a story about Lord Aegon Velaryon, the exiled Seahorse. No, this is a tale of his two daughters, Rhaenyra and Baela. Their story begins in 379 AC, and how the war has impacted their lives, and their future. How both women are now not only Aegon's only living heirs, but the future of House Velaryon, as the rest of the House was murdered by Aegon's foes back in Westeros, so their father says. Only time shall tell what will happen to Rhaenyra and Baela Velaryon.[/color][/indent]

[hider=Rhaenyra Velaryon]

[indent][color=878787][color=PaleTurquoise][b]Identity[/b][/color]
[indent]Lady Rhaenyra Velaryon[/indent]
[img]https://i.ibb.co/MDxdDZB/Rhaenyra-Velaryon-2.png[/img]

[color=PaleTurquoise][b]Age[/b][/color][indent]Twenty-Three years old.
[/indent]

[color=PaleTurquoise][b]Role[/b][/color][indent]Lady, but such title is only out of formality/respect towards a female.
[/indent]

[color=PaleTurquoise][b]Characterization[/b][/color][indent]Lady Rhaenyra of Aegon's Isle, a rare beauty indeed. Her smile that shines brightly, eyes of glittering aquamarine, yet, she is shy, more like to bolt away like a startled bird, leaving behind but a glimpse of her beauty, the bright feathers already gone. Rhaenyra Velaryon has earned a reputation as a somewhat reclusive woman, shying away from those she does not know, choosing instead to spend time with her family, or alone in her garden. When duty and the situation demands she stay, Rhaenyra is quiet and polite, offering a nervous smile that melts many a heart. If anything can ever be taken away from a meeting with Lady Rhaenyra, is that she exudes kindness and radiates warmth. 

Of her values, integrity first, tell the truth, do right by the gods and rules of men, and strive to become a better person; she greatly values her family, and the interactions, the laughter, smiles, eating food together, and so on. Last, is her value upon excellence in all one does, in other words, whatever you set your mind to, do it right, or don't bother wasting your time nor hers.

[color=PaleTurquoise][b]Attributes & Talents[/b][/color][indent]Describe said character's abilities and skills.

[img]https://ck2.paradoxwikis.com/images/archive/2/20/20131223143802%21Attractive.png[/img] Attractive - Being of the blood of Old Valyria, Rhaenyra is decidedly beautiful. Her fair features, silver hair, stunning eyes of pale blue-green, define the beauty that is Lady Rhaenyra, who with her regal bearing, cuts a memorable figure for those who lay eyes upon her. Her fair looks are owed to her father, mother, and the old bloodlines of yesteryear. 

[img]https://ck2.paradoxwikis.com/images/1/1d/Groomed.png[/img] Groomed - Lady Rhaenyra takes great care in keeping up appearances, always wearing clean clothes and smelling of fresh flowers. Her hair is always neatly and precisely positioned, be it flowing freely, or in some styled fashion. The first impression is one of appearance, and to Rhaenyra, better to set a stunning impression, than a flawed one.

[img]https://ck2.paradoxwikis.com/images/archive/d/d2/20131223144224%21Kind.png[/img] Kind - If one thing can ever be said of Lady Rhaenyra, is that she is very kind. Her heart is large, and she cares for those around her with great compassion and love. Being mean or angry is hard for Rhaenyra, and holding onto negativity is something that she has never been able to do well, instead, she looks at the good and positive.

[img]https://ck2.paradoxwikis.com/images/archive/b/b2/20131223143642%21Diligent.png[/img] Diligent - Ever the one to always finish a task, Rhaenyra sees anything and everything through to the end. She enjoys the adventure and reward of completing meaningful endeavors that she sets her mind to.

[img]https://ck2.paradoxwikis.com/images/archive/f/f0/20131223144804%21Shy.png[/img] Shy - Those that know her closely will note Lady Rhaenyra's lack of enthusiasm when it come to speaking with others. She much prefers to watch and listen, rather than offer her input. When asked, she will answer, but usually, one must press in order to break Rhaenyra out of her shell.

[img]https://ck2.paradoxwikis.com/images/archive/4/44/20131223144938%21Trusting.png[/img] Trusting - Perhaps a flaw, perhaps a sign of a good and uncorrupted heart. Either way, Rhaenyra is very trusting, within reason, of others at first. More than anything, she trusts her father, Lord Aegon Velaryon implicitly, and sees no reason as to why he would ever lie to her.

[img]https://ck2.paradoxwikis.com/images/archive/1/19/20131223143824%21Gardener.png[/img] Gardener - Lady Rhaenyra enjoys the fresh open air and the warm kiss of the sun. More than that, she is an avid gardener, who enjoys the process of growing flowers and fresh food for herself and her family. The work and effort involved give her a sense of pride and accomplishment, that her little garden is there because of her hard work and diligence.

[img]https://i.ibb.co/7kDxYRH/CK2-Family-Person-Icon.png[/img] Family Person - The last of Rhaenyra's defining traits is her importance that she has placed upon family. To her, there is nothing more important than the love and devotion to one's family. They are, at the end of the day, all you have to rely and trust upon. She hopes one do to have her own family, should the God's allow it.

[color=PaleTurquoise][b]Immediate Family[/b][/color]
[indent]Lord Aegon Velaryon - Father
Lady Falyse Sunglass - Mother
Lady Jaehaera Velaryon - Elder Sister
Lady Baela Velaryon - Younger Sister[/indent]

[color=PaleTurquoise][b]Personal Relations[/b][/color]
[indent]Lord Aegon Velaryon - What more can be said of a daughter's love for her father? Lord Aegon is a hero and savior in Rhaenyra's eyes, a great man who strode out of the Age of Hero's, taking care of his family in the darkest of night, when the whole world around Rhaenyra was burning. To Rhaenyra, Lord Aegon is a role model and mentor to her, a person she looks up to with love and respect, who would never lie to her.

Lady Baela Velaryon - While she may not always see eye to eye with her younger sister, Baela is Rhaenyra's best friend, and her protector. Some may think oddly of the nature of their relationship, but none dare speak aloud of it to Baela, less they wish to find themselves waking up on the floor. Baela is a trusted confidant, a loyal friend, and more than that, a sister. She has a knack of bringing back gifts for her sister, be it plant seeds to an odd knick knack that will fit perfectly in Rhaenyra's garden, Baela is cherished and loved.[/indent]

[hider=Baela Velaryon]
[indent][color=878787][color=PaleTurquoise][b]Identity[/b][/color][indent]Baela Velaryon
[/indent]
[img]https://i.ibb.co/0YG2X4s/Baela-Velaryon.jpg[/img]

[color=PaleTurquoise][b]Age[/b][/color][indent]Nineteen years old.
[/indent]

[color=PaleTurquoise][b]Role[/b][/color][indent]Captain of the pirate vessel "Sea Snake", Lady.
[/indent]

[color=PaleTurquoise][b]Characterization[/b][/color][indent]Baela has earned her reputation as a deadly woman, beautiful and ferocious as a shadowcat. To her crew and friends, a diligent commander and leader, one who looks to better their lives as well as her own. To family, she is the fire of revenge that burns within them all, and to her sister, she is her protector, a mean, fierce Velaryon who would cut you down to defend her honor.

She values her family, as they are all she has, followed by the value of freedom and the open oceans. Baela hopes to one day travel the world as her forebear, Corlys Velaryon, and cement her reputation as the female Sea Snake. 
[/indent]

[color=PaleTurquoise][b]Attributes & Talents[/b][/color][indent]Describe said character's abilities and skills.

[img]https://ck2.paradoxwikis.com/images/archive/2/20/20131223143802%21Attractive.png[/img] Attractive - Beautiful as her sister, yet in her own way. Rhaenyra has her regal beauty, her "blue eyes", while Baela has a more predatory beauty, akin to a shadowcat. She is fearsome beauty exemplified, eyes of light purple, sharply defined features, and a look that says, "Mess with me, and I'll eat your heart out."

[img]https://ck2.paradoxwikis.com/images/archive/f/f3/20131223144741%21Scarred.png[/img] Scarrred - When one chooses to ignore caution and live a more adventurous life, accidents happen, or rather, life happens. Across the left side of her face, from the middle of her nose to slightly below her eye, is a scar from one of her first real battles. Now, the old wound has healed, and seemingly added more beauty to Baela than before. 

[img]https://ck2.paradoxwikis.com/images/archive/a/a8/20131223143140%21Ambitious.png[/img] Ambitious - For Baela, she is not content to idly wait by for the world to come to her, nor for opportunity to present itself. Rather, she seeks out her own future, charting a course to have her rise higher in the world, and place her name in the annuals of time and history.

[img]https://ck2.paradoxwikis.com/images/archive/5/5b/20131223143253%21Brave.png[/img] Brave - Part of being ambitious and adventurous is being brave. Many a foe expects a woman to cower before them, to beg and plead, not Baela, she happily charges in, sword drawn, a vicious predatory look on her face, and the knowledge that those self-important men, well, their courage is quickly running down the side of their leg. The unknown shouldn't be feared, and for Baela, she respects it, while actively choosing to rush forward into the dark to see what lies within.

[img]https://ck2.paradoxwikis.com/images/8/8d/Stubborn.png[/img] Stubborn - Stubborn as a mule, that is what her father let her know. Baela is not the type to give up or back down when she sets her sights on something. She digs her heels in, and presses ever onward, much to the annoyance of Lord Aegon when such actions go against his wishes.

[img]https://i.ibb.co/Vx9MSYX/CK2-Ruthless-Trait-Icon.png[/img] Ruthless - While few ever see or know of such actions, Baela is ruthless when it comes to defending her sister and family. Those that dare to insult her sister, well, they are lucky when they wake up from the floor. Baela wants to reach her goals, and will damn near do whatever it takes to achieve them.

[img]https://ck2.paradoxwikis.com/images/archive/5/55/20131223143711%21Duelist.png[/img][img]https://i.ibb.co/VYLcJtQ/CK2-Skilled-Warrior-Icon.png[/img] Skilled Duelist - From a young age, she showed signs of martial prowess. Aegon, perhaps on a whim of amusement, allowed her to train with his sons, her brothers. The rest, as they say, is history. She fights with two hands, favoring her right with a long sword, while in her left, a short sword or an axe, depending on the situation. Thus far, her foes have all made the same mistake, underestimate her, and they payed with their lives for that foolishness.

[img]https://ck2.paradoxwikis.com/images/6/68/Sea_Queen.png[/img][img]https://i.ibb.co/qMz9fZd/CK2-Pirate-Icon.png[/img] Pirate Captain - Much to her father's everlasting annoyance, though he has yet to specifically command her not to be a pirate and smuggler, Baela Velaryon command a modest ocean going vessel called "Sea Snake", which she uses to prey upon the traveling ships of Westeros, stealing their cargo and selling it off to send a message that she remembers what the Queen did to her family.
[/indent]

[color=PaleTurquoise][b]Immediate Family[/b][/color]
[indent]Lord Aegon Velaryon - Father
Lady Falyse Sunglass - Mother
Lady Jaehaera Velaryon - Elder Sister
Lady Rhaenyra Velaryon - Elder Sister[/indent]

[color=PaleTurquoise][b]Personal Relations[/b][/color]
[indent]Lord Aegon Velaryon - A father, a lord, a leader, he is all these things, but there is something more to him that Baela quite can't put her finger on. He appears to be a good man, and Rhaenyra loves him unconditionally, but he is hiding something, else he wouldn't be so irritated that Baela captains her own ship and partakes in piracy. Maybe its just paranoia, or skepticism, but never mind, Aegon is my father and lord, and I must follow him, when it suits me of course.

Lady Rhaenyra Velaryon - Her elder sister is a pure soul, unburdened with the darkness of the greater world, and Baela aims to keep it that way. Rhaenyra has a way of making all the troubles, woes, frustrations just fall away, leaving behind the good, and bright joyous laughter. She isn't naive, rather, she chooses to focus her time on things she can control and love, nurturing her rooftop garden, cooking food fit for a king, or just hearing Baela vent to a trustworthy soul who would never talk, no matter what. Rhaenyra is all anyone could ever ask for in a sister and friend. Anyone who would dare speak ill of her, pray to the Gods that I don't gut you like a fish.
