Alys Flint

Alys Flint is one of the two daughters of late lord Harold Flint and of his wife, Alise née Flint. She is the current ruling lady of Widow’s Watch and oversees the lands and waters around the keep, known to be a fair and balanced lady, Alys Flint is also a convert to the Faith of the Seven and follows the Faith loyally.

## Appearance and Character

Alys Flint takes much more after her mother’s own looks rather then that of her father or the general Flint Family as a whole. Blue eyed (some may say light green eyed) and with brown hair, Alys Flint has very prominent and fair skin that is filled with freckles, that while not utterly prominent on her face, are still present and visible to most whom are looking upon her. She stands at about five foot and nine inches, with a very triangular body shape that shapes her smaller frame - this smaller frame will usually be found in darker clothing, mainly dark and black dresses as well as darker colored fur coats, if available. She takes a liking to darker colors and darker clothing as she believes these colors to better fit her appearance and better fit her as a lady of the North.

Alys Flint is a cheerful, active and suave lady whom on most days can be found in a happy mood, with hope that the gods will provide a better day then the last. She is also a mellow person at heart, and even in her current age, always attempts to treat herself as someone older then she is - Alys is also a private person, whom keeps most things to herself and at last, she can be a rather busy person, as being both ruling Lady of Widow’s Watch and striving to see it improve under her tenureship can be a large struggle. Perhaps because of her cheerful and mellow attitude, Alys has over the years become a predictable and unaggresive person when it comes to most things, which can make gaining recognition and respect a true struggle for her.

## History

Alys Flint was born in Widow’s Watch on 74 AC to Harold Flint and his wife, Alise née Flint. She was one among two children born to the pair, the second being Tayla Flint, whom would be born in 76 AC. Sadly two years into her life, her father, the 43 year old Lord Harold, would die due to Maegor’s Breath. It was then ultimately that her mother became regent of Widow’s Watch and she the heir - yet Maegor’s Breath would ultimately restrict what the Regent Mother could do until at least 79 AC.

As such, the very early years of her life were spent by the Hearth of her keep, with her father dead, the Maester ultimately took over the role of teaching her what she needed to know in the form of reading, writing and further lessons that followed. Her Mother would continue her lessons as well, teaching her courtly manners as well as such things as dancing.

Regent Mother Alise also spent a good while instilling into her, her (Alise’s) own beliefs of the Faith - with both Alys and Tayla being taught about the Faith of the Seven, which Alise followed. This was further aided by the fact Alise ended up inviting a wandering Septon from White Harbor into the keep in 85 AC, and it was this Septon that would ultimately continue teaching the sisters about the Faith, slowly leading them to become faithful converts of the Seven.

The Regency of Alise née Flint lasted for nearly 17 years, but ultimately came to an end in 92 AC, when Alys came of age to take the title of Lady of Widow’s Watch and was able to assert her will on the lands of House Flint. She has since ruled over the house and Widow’s Watch for six years, years that have allowed her to develop her knowledge in regards to statescraft and the art of being a noble, something that has become more evident to her as she continues to grow of age.
