Alerah Waters

Alerah, also known as Alerah Targaryen, Alerah Waters or the Whore Witch of the North, is an girl from unknown upbringings who used to work at a brothel located at The Dreadfort, but later fled to head back to King's Landing. She claims to be the lost daughter of the Targaryen, making her a princess and the supposed rightful heir to the throne.
Another of her claims, which she is more recognised for, is that she is a shadow witch, earning her the name of the Whore Witch of the North. While most people believe she is just lying, this is an actual fact. Alerah is an untrained witch. 
==Biography==
===Early Life===
Not much is known about Alerah's life, since it is unclear if her claims are truth or not.
She insists that she is the bastard daugther of the mad king Visery Targaryen and that her mother was a whore such as she is. She refuses to name her mother but according to her claims, she died saving her from a fire caused by her supposed father, which makes her believe that her claims were true. Her mother would tell her stories about dragons and how the Targaryen used to ride them centuries before she was born, which made Alerah believe she would have her own dragon once she got back to her Targaryen family. It is unknown if her mother was the one who started feeding her with the claims of being a bastard of the royal family or if she came up with the lie herself.
Once her mother died, Alerah fled King's Landing so her life was no longer in danger, since she believed the king was after her. She was only 11 when this happened. It is unknown how she got to the North all by herself, she claims the Valyrian gods were protecting her, but refused to elaborate how she got that far, considering she lost her way back to King's Landing later on when she said she knew the way. Because of that, it is belived she was actually born somewhere in the North.
It is unknown where she learnt to use her magic abilities, since she says it is just a natural talent of hers, she is well acquainted with magic that earned her the nickname The Whore Witch of the North. While she refused to admit, she had killed or harmed multiple clients with her abilities, but most of those occasions are either accidents or self defense. Even if she had worked for long in multiple brothels, she believes that princesses should be touched with respects and there are certain places men should not touch. The men who get killed are the ones that did not respect her words and she has no trouble on admitting to defending herself, but she keeps hidden how many and what truly happens to them. She keeps her magic as an ace card in case of emergencies. Alerah can use dark magic, consisting on shadow related attacks or defenses, but she taught herself to do moon tea for herself.
She started working at brothels at a young age, but she would not stay in places for long, often moving around from different castles in hope to find her way back home, only to head even further North. She doesn't know how to read, so she just walked to where she thought it was right, not bothering to ask for directions or help since a true princess can find her way back home, according to her words. She headed north enough to find herself in the Wall. 
===Season One===
Alerah is found by Sam Tarly after taking Jon Snow back to the Wall. The recruits decide to leave her alone and head back to their duties, except for Sam and Satin, who worry about her not being able to find her way back since she is too far away from any civilisation. The two decided to sneak her in and Jon joined them in their quest, but Seban Bolton refused to join in their antics at first, but either way helped her get her to their camp, deciding they would help her go back to Winterfell in the morning of the next day. However, even if they succesed sneaking her in, their plan doesn't go as followed, the next morning being annouced that they would go beyon the wall. Alerah offered to join, saying she still has time before she could rule, but then is informed about her supposed father passing. She joined them either way, saying that she needs time for herself and to practice her magic.
===Season Two===
Alerah somehow manages to stick with the Crows, how? I don't know, it makes no sense. We'll get there.
== Apperance and Personality ==
Her most defining charactersistic is her lack of self awareness. She constantly talks about herself and sees herself as a superior to other, since according to her, she is a Targaryen and that would make her a princess. Alerah is far too persistent, often repeating herself multiple times to remind others about her true blood, which makes her claims seem more fake to the people around her. She believes every word that comes out from her mouth, which leaves the question if she is actually telling the truth or not. Due to Alerah's vagueness about her past, it is unclear whether she is speaking the truth or just lying. She doesn't remember much of her past and the part she does, she keeps them to herself in fear that they might be used agaisnt her once she is in the throne.
She grew poor and in a brothel, so she lacks most of the manners the people she surrounds herself with has, making her stand out more than she already does. Alerah tries to hard to look as if she was born into royalty while not knowing anything, which makes her look ridiculous, obviously she doesn't notice how hard her attempts look. She also says to speak High Valyrian, while she knows a few words, to the surprise of most, the rest of what she speaks is gibberish. Alerah doesn't seem how it makes her look bad since she spent most of her life in low income places, all the things she did made her look classy compared to the other women she worked with.
Since she had worked most of her life at brothels and was raised in one, her reaction to most things is to flirt, thinking she would get her way like that. She also tends to be flirty in a more friendly way, even if most men just see it as her trying to seduce them. When she is genuenly flirting with someone, she tends to act more serious and get more physical. She doesn't enjoy being touched unless it is someone she knows or had paid her, and even then she has her restrictions. 
Alerah has bronze skin and dark hair, which is describe by Seban as surprisingly silking, her eyes is what made her stand out from the average woman are her eyes. She has purple eyes, which are often associated with the Valyrian race, making her claims of being a Targaryen dubious. Other than that, she looks like an average woman, too skinny and relatively tall. She said to have lost weight due to her long time wandering to find her way to King's Landing, but she is still a healthy girl. While she might look weak, she can actually defend herself with her black magic and tends to carry a dagger so people will not harm her. She is paranoid, thinking people are after her to kill her, so she would prefer to defend herself.
==Relationships==
===Romances===
====Seban Bolton====
They have a complex relationship. Alerah quickly clung into him as soon as she learned he is a Bolton, since she had been to the Dreadfort before and thinks he is the easiest way to get back somewhere familiar. Since Seban seemed to be indifferent to her trying to get close and he didn't make any comment about her claims, she took that as a good sign and decided to stick with him, often just listening to what others tell her to do unless he approves. She doesn't seem to notice his indifference or lack of caring and she never noticed the shift he had to caring about what she had to say.
Unsure on how to thank him for sticking with her, so she decided to start getting touchy with him, in hope he would enjoy that. While their more sexually charged relationship lasted a while, they quickly shut it down after he opened up and told her he is not interested in her in such way. Alerah respects his boundaries such as he does with her, but the love she feels for him blurs the line between the platonic and romantic, but none of them are bothered by that. They stopped being intimate, but Alerah remained touchy, often kissing him and holding him close, but Seban doesn't complain or pushes her away.
Alerah claims they are meant to be together, since he wishes to be a knight in the Kingsguard and she is the supposed princess next in like to the throne. He doesn't seem to be against that dynamic and she is too happy to have her personal guard, calling him Ser even if he doesn't have that title yet.
===Others===
====Satin====
Satin is the Crow Alerah is closest with, the two understand each other and have a lot of respect to one another. Satin is the only one that doesn't question her about her job and often tries to shut down the rest of the recruits when comments and jokes are made about her. Alerah refers to him as a prince, saying he has the manners of one and that she would give him a title once she gets back her crown. While Satin doesn't believe most of her comments, he doesn't treat them as delusions and just nods along, but rarely makes any statement encouranging her, which is a good sign for her. 
====Sam Tarly====
Alerah isn't too fond of Sam, finding him annoying and arguing with him. She thinks he is too stupid for his own good and Sam doesn't take the hint that she is not interested in him in a physical way. She had said comments about finding him cute, but she still find him annoying. Their banter tends to be more friendly, the two of them being too blind to see how the other perceives them. Even with their arguing, Alerah is grateful to have him around, since he was the first one to offer to help her and tries fighting for her, even if he is not as successful as the rest of the group. 
====Jon Snow====
They know each other.
====Ramsay Bolton====
She fears him and tries her best to stay away from him, but she will defend Seban from him.
