Handmaiden

A handmaiden, also known as a lady-in-waiting, is a woman in the service of a noblewoman of higher status. Women of vassal Houses sometimes also serve as handmaidens and companions to noble ladies in the household of their overlords or at the royal court.
==In the books==
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, the tasks of handmaidens or "lady attendants" vary depending on their origin. Highborn women aid and accompany higher-status ladies and even share their beds but do not perform tasks such as preparing baths or emptying chamber pots, which are reserved for lowborn women.
