Arlish Baelish

Arlish Baelish is the wife of Lord Petyr Baelish, and the only other living member of the Baelish house by marriage. Though not completely affiliated, she occasionally assists in the running of her husband's brothel in the event of his absence.
==Biography==
===Background===
Arlish was born to House Tarre in 271, the daughter of Derrock and Elayne Tarre. Her family was not particularly wealthy, but not poor either. She has no recollection of her father, as he passed in battle when she was still very young- because of their stable financial situation, her mother was able to keep them afloat after his untimely death.
Elayne died in 289, leaving Arlish to navigate the world as a new woman alone. Thankfully, she had grown to be clever and cunning, inheriting the moderate amount of riches held by her otherwise extinct house. She met Littlefinger the next year, and the two bonded in their skills with other people. The two wed in 293, when Arlish turned 22. Even with how smart she already was, some of her husbands intellect was passed on to her. Though the two held a liking for each other at the time, their relationship soon grew into seeing each other as either an advantage or a disadvantage rather than a spouse.
===Game of Thrones: Season 1===
Arlish meets Lord Eddard Stark when he comes to her husband's brothel in search of Lady Catelyn Stark. She had known of Catelyn for years because of Littlefinger's fondness of her in his youth, but she knows Catelyn has no interest in return, and is comfortable with having her around. She and Ned seem to get along fine.
Arlish assists in the plot to betray Ned Stark. Her and her husband conspire with the Lannisters to imprison him and label him as a traitor for protesting Joffrey's reign. She participates in the plot as it will bring her closer to the royal family and the Throne.
==Physical Description==
Arlish is a slim woman with a fragile frame. Her skin is pale, and her hair is a light blonde. She often wears her hair in buns or braids because of it's length. She is short in comparison to many others, and her eyes are a nice shade of hazel.
==Personality and Traits==
Arlish is a clever and cunning woman, sharing the same scheming tendencies that her husband has. Since she was old enough to remember, she had always dreamed of somehow being on the throne. When her relationships blossom as she grows, and she becomes a member of the court, it all feels more attainable to her.
==Relationships==
===Family===
====Derrock Tarre====
Derrock Tarre is the father of Arlish. He died in battle when Arlish was too young to remember him. She wondered for several years what it would be like to have a father, but let go of this thoughts once she became older.
====Elayne Tarre====
Arlish is the daughter of Elayne Tarre. After the passing of her husband, Elayne dedicated the rest of her life to being the perfect mother to Arlish. The two had a great relationship, and Elayne helped Arlish in every step of the way as she grew.
The year Arlish turned 18 years, Elayne passed away suddenly.
===Romances===
====Petyr Baelish====
In 290, a year after her mother's passing, Arlish met Littlefinger while trying to build her status. She was initially indifferent towards him, even a bit put off by his brothel-keep status. However, she came to realize he had an important position in the royal court, and her attitude changed. A relationship with the older man could help secure her position in King's Landing. Her attempts to woo him were successful, and Littlefinger decided he would take Arlish as his wife.
The pair married in 293. The two loved each other, in a way, even though their relationship was born out of Arlish's plans. As their relationship continued, the love mostly faded, but the two remained partners for each other's smarts and capabilities. Arlish grew more comfortable with Littlefinger's business as she aged, and would often help run the establishment if he needed any assistance.
