[INDENT][sup][COLOR=darkgray]
Septa Cerenna is the sort of woman who is immediately and instinctively trusted, which is arguably the most dangerous thing about her. She is fair in the Reach fashion, with the light blonde hair, not the Westerlands gold or like beaten silver, but of pale straw. Her green eyes are warm rather than sharp. Her face is open and expressive in a way that grey septa's robes do nothing to dampen. She has never quite mastered the serene and composed look favored by her mentors, and tends instead toward an animated attentiveness that makes everyone she speaks to feel they are the most interesting person in the room. She is of middling height and carries herself with the comfortable confidence of someone who has never doubted her welcome anywhere.[/COLOR][/sup][/INDENT]

[COLOR=darkgray][b]◼ Notable Skills:[/b] An extraordinary memory for names, faces, and personal details shared in confidence. A genuine gift for making people feel heard and cared for. An extensive web of connections accumulated across noble households throughout the Reach and beyond, built entirely through pastoral care and deployed entirely without strategic intent.

[COLOR=DARKGRAY][indent]Cerenna Peake was born the youngest daughter of a second cousin to Starpike, which is to say she was born into the comfortable outer ring of a proud house that had little to spare and much to protect. While her branch of the family kept a modest hall near enough to Starpike to attend feast days, it was far enough to be largely ignored by the main line in matters of inheritance and marriage. She grew up knowing she was a Peake and all that it meant while understanding clearly that the name would not do a great deal of practical work on her behalf.

She was sent to the Faith at thirteen, which suited everyone including her. She had already by that point demonstrated a talent for being present in conversations she had not been invited to, for passing along information she had not been asked to, and for arranging meetings between people based on her sense that they should know each other but with no grounding in the actual circumstances of their lives. The sept gave this energy a home and she thrived. She was warm and attentive and genuinely devout in the way that comes from feeling rather than performance, and the noble ladies who came to her for counsel left feeling cared for and understood. She was not focused enough to serve as a governess, one attempt at that ended in disaster not spoken of, but her cloister could not deny the effect her charm had, especially on funding. 

She has spent the years since moving between the septs and households of the Reach, gathering connections the way other women gather embroidery. She knows the wives and sisters and mothers of men on both sides of the rebellion, because she has ministered to all of them without once noticing that this might be complicated. When Lord Gormon declared for the Blackfyres and marched northwest, Cerenna felt a quiet and private pride she would never voice aloud. She is a Peake. She has written to Starpike once since the rebellion began, a warm letter to Lady Antonie expressing her prayers for the safety of the family and mentioning in passing that she had recently met a most interesting young woman of Dornish descent who reminded her somehow of the Lady of Starpike in her cleverness. It seems that Lady Antonie has not yet had time to respond, perhaps the letter sits on her table still.[/indent][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DARKGRAY][INDENT]Cerenna is currently traveling through the Reach in the company of a certain woman of Dornish descent after meeting her under circumstances that Cerenna has decided were not accidental. The Seven work in ways that are mysterious to others and perfectly legible to Cerenna, and it is clear to her that this young woman of uncertain standing and vibrant purple eyes has been placed in her path for a reason. She has appointed herself Rella's guide and protector with the wholehearted warmth of someone who has never once been wrong about this kind of thing, because she has never stayed in one place long enough to observe the consequences.

She does not think of what she does as political. She thinks of it as her duty of care. She just wants everyone to be alright. She believes, with the deep and unshakeable conviction of the genuinely well-meaning, that most conflicts can be resolved with the right conversation between the right people. She is going to arrange that conversation. Worse, she has already begun to think of who ought to be in the room.[/INDENT][/COLOR][/cell][/row][/table][sub]__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________[/sub]
