[color=e5da5a][b]Bio:[/b][/color]

None know the true story that lead a young, highborn, Lady Celena Lannister to runaway. Her parents bodies weren't even cold the first time someone thought to inquire about the location of their only child. By the time the Red Cloaks of the Lannisport City Watch started asking questions and looking for her, it was too late, the child far gone from the Sunset shores. The fates of her parents remains a haunting unsolved mystery for any nobility in the City of Sunsets. It's believed Lord Addam's eldest brother gave the assassination order when Lord Addam refused to be cowed by vague threats from the ruling Lord of House Lannister of Lannisport, Celena's own uncle. 

True or not, the eldest brother's fall soon after Lord Addam's death simply cannot be an accident. There are whispers that the Lannisters of Casterly Rock even had a hand in the murders. Whether true or not, it's noteworthy Lady Celena has never spoken to another Lannister, has never helped another Lannister, and has left messages to her from Lannisters go unanswered, be it from the Lannisters of Lannisport or Casterly Rock. Most presumed her dead, or enslaved, or taken as a Salt Wife. There is recorded mention of the girl in the Summer Isles less than a year after her disappearance; a Priestess in the Temple of Love has the signature of a "Celena Lannister" in a temple roll. Some say she boarded a Swan ship and sailed to the Far East. 

The best source on what happened to Celena comes from the current Sealord of Braavos: little Celena ran away to the docks of Lannisport and just happened to catch the eye of Bravoosi corsair king Enki Dumazi in port for repairs. She paid for a cabin with a small coin pouch filled with gold, but the pirate threw the coin purse over his shoulder and into the Sunset Sea, simply welcoming the child Celena aboard his ship the [i]Death of Sorrow[/i]. It is known Dumazi was fond of men and boys, not women and girls, as such Dumazi would have seemed safe to the young Celena compared to Lannisport. At some point, it's clear little Celena is an active part of Dumazi's crew, even trained in the martial and sailing arts of piracy. She will spend an unknown amount of years upon the sea with Dumazi. At some point, Dumazi dies, though it is unknown whether or not of natural causes. Here, at the age of ten and four, Celena Lannister disappears from history, only to reappear again over ten years later in Braavos.

When she reappears it is noteworthy: to this day Celena Lannister is the only person to hold the title of First Sword of Braavos for a single night. The Sealord that appointed her was besieged on all sides from agents and rivals supported by enemies from other Free Cities, most notably Volantis. The exact number of how many people died remains a mystery, but estimates from the Iron Bank run anywhere from two hundred to five hundred bravos. While the body count that night for any one person is likely never to be known, one thing all observers agree upon is that none had a higher body count than the First Sword of Braavos that night. The bodies she buries during the Night of Broken Swords establish the foundation of power the current Sealord has enjoyed ever since. 

The next week Celena disappears from Braavos, though where she goes is yet another period of pure mystery in the tale of the Lioness. There are reported sightings all over Essos, and even in some Westeros locations. The Sealord says she went to East to the Shadowlands. Betheny the Bold, a famous mummerer known as a friend to Celena, claims that the Lioness went to explore the ruins of the Rhoynar and the Valyrians, even though common knowledge says none who venture there survive. Others claim she joined with a band of explorers and set sail for Sothoryos. She either made it to Qarth, depending on who you believe, or came face to face with a Pirate King of the Basilisk Islands before heading further down the coast of Sothoryos than any other soul has and lived to tell the tale. 

Whatever the truth of it Celena reappars in Braavos as an official of the Iron Bank of Braavos. She is the first Westerosi born person to be granted the rank of Keyholder in the history of the Iron Bank of Braavos. Though an important honorific in Braavosi culture, given there are anywhere from just under to just over a thousand Keyholders at any one time the true measure of rank in the Iron Bank resides in how many shares in the bank you have, which and how many of it's secret councils you sit, and how loud a voice in selecting the men and women who will lead the bank you have. Of these measures, no one but those within the Iron Bank of Braavos itself has any clue how truly influential Celena Lannister is. The official line is that she is a Keyholder, and an agent of the Iron Bank, and no more. 

When the Sealord of Braavos was presented with that answer after asking about the scope of his former First Sword's involvement in the Iron Bank he laughed so hard he nearly pissed himself and immediately dismissed the Iron Bank official from his audience chamber. What is absolutely known in Westeros is that Celena had been spotted around the continent in the past three years: she was seen sparring Knights at the Golden Tooth and killed one when he became enraged at losing so swiftly to a woman and attacked Celena with real steel and murderous intent. She was a guest on at least one pleasure barge sailing along the Mander. She spoke to Orphans of the Greenblood in Dorne. She visited the Wall, and the small town around Winterfell. She spent time hunting with the infamous Sacred Circle bandit group in the Rainwood. All along and inbetween she spoke to nobles minor and high alike, merchants and innkeepers. 

Celena has spent much of the last year in travel. A stop at Braavos confirmed by the Iron Bank itself, then a confirmed spotting in Andalos where she apparently retrieved Ser Ronnel Arryn. She was last seen arriving at Gulltown with a small fleet of Braavosi built warships flying the banner of House Arryn. She owns a modified swan ship built in the Summer Isles, though none know it's appearance or name or current anchorage. It is believed to fly Braavosi flags or the banner of the Iron Bank itself. It's typical captain is a Braavosi that is said to owe Celena his life, going under the alias Noho Varvo, believed a former member of Enki Dumazi's crew. Myrish spymasters suspect the vessel to be anchored somewhere in Westeros, likely hidden among the Fingers.
