Now, what's left of the once massive house, crippled by their support of the losing faction as well as their own interfamilial spats, has to choose their path, either that of loyalty and their liege lords, or that of their ancestors, and of power, of the outside.

Houses Charlton, Erenford, and Haigh are counted among House Frey of the Crossing's bannermen.[/color][/indent] [b]Recent History[/b] [indent][color=gray]House Frey became one of the most infamous in the realm following Lord Walder Frey's decision to ally himself with the Lannisters and commit the worst violation of guest right in recent history. In the aftermath, proving the weak link of the Lannister-Bolton-Frey alliance, House Frey began to turn on each-other, spurred on by the loss of many of their kin in Stannis Baratheon's invasion of the North. With the North burning and a dragon making his way west, Lord Walder was murdered, many suspecting his great grandson, Black Walder, which was only spurred on by the successive murders of new lord Edwyn Frey and his daughter Walda, leaving Black Walder the rightful lord. The younger lord Walder then took on a combative stance to the new Targaryen host, swearing fealty to the quickly collapsing Lannister hegemony. Other more clever members of the clan realized the oncoming extinction that laid before house Frey if Walder was allowed his way, and a faction lead by Lame Lothar Frey, twelfth son of the Late Lord Walder, travelled to meet with the new Targaryen host. Outraged, Black Walder had Lame Lothar's young daughters killed and imprisoned any of his family members who supported the plot. The ensuing civil war was extremely bloody for the house, leading to the family being reduced to half its pre-war size, Black Walder deposed and sent to see the new King's Justice, and his uncle Walton Frey being made Lord of the Crossing, a title he didn't hold for long before dying himself of poor health brought on by a famine in the Freylands. His son, Steffon the Sweet, would finally stabilize the house and establish ties with House Tully once more. The next years saw The Crossing dominated by reconciliatory leaders who attempted to re-establish themselves as loyal bannermen of house Tully. For a long time they tried and succeeded to build a new reputation for submissive loyalty, and any plotting was snuffed out at the source. However, the death of the current Lord Denys Frey without male issue has lead to a power struggle within the walls of the crossing, as his daughter Alyssa, unmarried and without progeny, now has to choose whether to continue House Frey's current path, or return to tradition, spitting on servitude, and many of her great number of relatives are trying to drag her one way or the other.[/color][/indent] [b]Realm Relations[/b] [indent][color=gray][list][*]House Tully - In the past decades, House Frey has established themselves as a highly loyalist faction in the Riverlands, supporting any decision made by the lord paramount without a single objection. Of course other factions of House Frey despise this state of affairs, but it seems set to continue for the forseeable future.[/list][/color][/indent] [b]Storyline Premise[/b] [indent][color=gray]No matter what happens, House Frey has a stain on it, an unremovable stain on their honor. The new Lady has to deal with that stain and its effects, and guide the house depending on the changes in the world around it, just to survive in a world hostile to them.[/color][/indent] [/indent] [/hider][h3]Character Information[/h3][hr][hider=Lady Frey] [CENTER][color=dodgerblue][b][h2]Lady Alyssa Frey[/h2][/b][/color] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/61/68/4f/61684fd8c1a4e21297583661f09ede7f.jpg[/img][/CENTER] [h3]Conceptualization & Premise[/h3][hr][hider=My Hider] [indent][color=878787][color=white][b]Identity[/b][/color][indent]Alyssa Frey [/indent] [color=white][b]Age[/b][/color][indent]18 [/indent] [color=white][b]Role[/b][/color][indent]Lady of the Crossing, Head of House Frey of the Twins [/indent] [color=white][b]Characterization[/b][/color][indent] Alyssa is the oldest daughter of old Lord Denys Frey, and his oldest surviving child.
