Loras Tyrell

Ser Loras Tyrell is an anointed knight of House Tyrell and the third son of Lord Mace Tyrell and Lady Alerie Hightower. He is the younger brother of Willas Tyrell, Garlan Tyrell and Margaery Tyrell. He serves as a member of the Kingsguard under King Renly Baratheon, Joffrey I Baratheon and Tommen I Baratheon.
==Appearance and Character==
Loras is described as exceptionally handsome, with golden eyes and long, flowing brown hair. Sansa Stark believes him to be lithe with gorgeous eyes. He is also described as having a slender frame. It is often remarked that Loras and Margaery look more like twins than Cersei and Jaime, to the extent that even as adults it is easy to mistake them. Loras is considered one of the most handsome young men in the Seven Kingdoms. 
While courteous he is still thirsty for glory and can be short-tempered and impetuous, as recognised by Jaime. Tyrion finds him a prickly lad. Prince Oberyn Martell does not believe that Loras is as good a warrior as he is a tourney jouster.
==History==
Loras was sent to Storm's End as a child, serving as a page and squire to Lord Renly Baratheon, and it is possible that this is where they began their clandestine love affair. Loras purchases his armour from Tobho Mott in King's Landing. He unhorsed Ser Jaime Lannister during a tourney, causing Petyr Baelish to hand a valyrian steel dagger over to King Robert Baratheon.
