[color=b32200][b]Bio:[/b][/color]

None know the 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. 

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. Others 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 the Pirate King of the Basilisk Islands, Saathos Saan of Lys. 

At that point, too many diverging threads appear out of each other, a maze of believed sightings and storied encounters. It becomes impossible to differentiate truth from modern legend. Of what is absolutely known, there is precious little: She visited at least one surviving outpost of the Valyrian Freehold, located upon the edge of the Doom. There are unverified stories of her exploring the Doom. She visited the Bone Mountains. She is blamed for instigating a slave revolt in Astapor, though there is no hard evidence she ever traveled to Slaver's Bay. She has visited each of the Free Cities. She is a Water Dancer, and the First Sword of Braavos for a single night. 

She has never married, and until recently, had never returned to Westeros--despite some claims of her being spotted around Oldtown and King's Landing. Some now claim she serves the Sealord of Braavos, others that she is a Keyholder of the Iron Bank, others still that she is simply an agent of the Iron Bank. It is known she had a key role in acquisition of Rogare Bank assets by the Iron Bank following the Rogare Bank's failure--some even whisper the Lioness had a key role in the failure of the Rogare Bank, though all accusations remain as yet unproven and dismissed. 

The wildest rumors claim Celena Lannister is the agent of a mysterious Dragon Prince from the East. Others that she serves a secret network of masters from all over the known world. Whatever the truth of it, the more obsessive Masters of Whisperers across Westeros are determined that her appearance in Westeros at such a key time cannot be pure happenstance. Before attending the Summer Hall tourney upon royal invite, Lady Celena toured much of Westeros, conducting smaller items of Iron Bank business with whatever Westeros nobility requested an audience.
