[u]History[/u]
[indent]Garland was the fifth son of Leonard Tyrell, the Master of Law, and the ninth child overall. Highgarden was overgrown with flowers, and its gardeners had little time for any flower in particular. It was a battle for even a scrap of attention from his parents, and he quickly learned the two best ways to get it: to be the absolute best in the house at something, or cause enough trouble to be worthy of their wrath. All his bothers- Lorent, Ormund, Steffon, Samwell- and some of his sisters- Rhea, Olenna - proved Garland's better at swordsmanship and riding, and his eldest sister, Elinor, was perhaps the most scholarly woman in all the Reach. 

None could claim to be more troublesome than he, however, for little Gar turned out to be a quite proficient procurer of other people's belongings. He'd climb through high windows or slip a key from a guard's belt to steal something innocuous and get himself caught soon after. When corporal punishment proved ineffective, Leonard turned to Alester Rowan, his Master-at-arms and a tyrant with a blade: Rowan would either fashion the boy into something of worth or kill him trying.

It took many a battering and a bruising before Garland found something he was good at. He may not be able to cross swords with any of his siblings but he had an uncanny eye with a bow, able to hit a bullseye thrice in a row at seventy paces out. Over the course of several months he grew in skill and strength, adding on draw weight until he was able to wield a proper longbow as easily as Lorent wielded a greatsword. It wasn't until Gar won the archery tourney at Highgarden that it stopped being a punishment- that tournament was the first time he could ever recall seeing pride on his father's face. From then on he chose to pursue it of his own volition, dedicating himself to perfecting his craft. 

Hunting proved to be his preferred method of practice compared to shooting targets in a courtyard. Birds were swift and unpredictable, but went down easily if snuck up on. Elk rarely fell in a single shot, requiring he pursue them for hours at a time. He learned to follow a trail of prints in even the worst of weather. And wild dogs and boar never died without a fight- if Gar wasn't swift and accurate, he'd be dead many times over.

The first true test of his skill came at a tourney in King's Landing, where he was put up against the best the realms had to offer. Knights, lords and men of great renown who'd spent their whole lives shooting- who was this boy against their like? A force to be reckoned with, he'd soon prove, holding his own against the best of them. Garland was a crowd pleaser, too- he'd prance around like a show pony, mocking his opponents to throw them off their game. Though he didn't win, he earned himself a reputation...and the name Garish for his misdeeds.

His antics were enough to get him an audience with Vaeron, the Targaryen prince, whom Garland was quick to befriend- there's no better friend to have than the future king of the seven kingdoms, after all.

[u]Relations[/u]
[indent][b]Vaeron:[/b] Garland sought the princeling out at a tourney in King's Landing a few years ago. Gar had made a fool out of a few too many important people, and the only thing that'd keep his head on his shoulders was a Targaryen to hide behind. In exchange for bailing him out of trouble, Gar promised to show Vaeron how to live a little: and the prince and the troublemaker became fast friends. Gar would make his way to King's Landing with his father as often as possible, ensuring his time there would be as memorable as the last.
