Talana Thulum

== Appearance and Character ==
Talana is a middle-aged woman, swarthy and muscular. she is brown haired that has started to grey over time, but she is still strong and fit. Talana is shorter but more muscular than most members of the Kingsguard. Many northerners used to consider her as beautiful however with time her beauty left with it, although she does still have a certain charm to some people. Talana is respected even by her enemies for her swordsmanship.
Talana wears wool and leather primarily, with her dark grey and brown tunics displaying the Winter Sun of House Thulum. Talana armors herself in half-plate as well as gauntlets, and greaves that have a bear on it to pay homage to the name she got many years ago. She wields a greatsword and always has a dagger at her hip just in case.
Talana was married at a young age to the second born son of House Thulum Christor Thulum as desired by her father, the minor lord of Randai. While they were married for many years, Talana's husband was exiled due to the death of Lord Tyron Thulum and since that she has hated him. 
During Robert's Rebellion, Talana fought on the side of the rebels.she was present during the Battle of the Crownlands in 1,334 AC and saw the aftermath of the attempted Sack of Vakar.
During a tourney at Sarilt to celebrate the victory over some rebels, Talana met Christor, when she was just over half his age and he became smitten with her beauty. She asked for his blessing to wear during the tournament, for which he gave her permission. Talana unexpectedly defeated all challengers. She faced Ser Edder last, and after they broke nine lances to no result, King Rhaelarys Vakerian II granted Talana the victory. Christor asked Talana's father, for her hand in marriage that same night. Surprisingly, he agreed. Talana and Christor were married in Sarilt.
The marriage did not remain happy for long. Having spent her life in knighthood, Talana was unprepared for life in harsh and isolated Sarilt and quickly grew miserable. Christor attempted to reproduce the lifestyle to which his wife was accustomed but only succeeded in driving herself into financial ruin, by lavishing her with expensive gifts, hiring a cook from her home city, and a harper from the same. However this all didn't help although it briefly got better with the birth of their two children, of which they were on again off again but parented to the best of their ability. This all ended though when Christor got exiled by Denzin and now neither people claim to be married anymore and are completely estranged.
