Elinor Tyrell

Ormund Tyrell

Princess Elinor Tyrell is the younger sister of Queen Myrcella Tyrell and the heir to the Iron Throne. She grew up in King’s Landing and is most known for her hostess abilities and her ability to captivate anyone with her appearance and her words.

## Appearance and Character

Elinor is the epitome of the perfect princess. Her features are soft and full. She has long dark blonde hair that reaches towards the middle of her back and wide, deep set blue eyes. Her face is round with a set of round full lips and a small nose. She stands much shorter than the average woman with an hourglass figure. Her skin is pale but freckled from many afternoons spent in the sun. The young princess walks and dances with a very practiced grace. She always holds her head high though does not tend to look down on others. Her voice carries through crowds and she is often louder than she means to be. It is somewhat nasally but the young woman always has a kind and interested tone to her voice. She tends to love being the center of attention and loves speaking to interesting people.

## History

Princess Elinor Tyrell was born to King Alester Tyrell and Queen Leona Hightower in the sixth month of 365 AC. The birth was one that went smoothly enough for the queen though it was the last child she would ever have especially as the King grew more despondent and less interested in most things in his life.

The princess’s younger years remained mostly unremarkable. She was born after the Sundering of the Reach and was completely unaffected by the realm’s politics during that era. Being the youngest of the royal family meant that while she was coddled she was often left out of the most important things in the assumption that her life would be nothing more than securing an alliance for her family.

Her childhood was spent as most noble ladies spent their days. From a young age she was taught the sophisticated arts of proper manners, dancing, posture, how to address different nobles and many other different kinds of etiquette. Elinor was a quick learner when it came to these lessons though she often neglected her other lessons growing up.

The one thing that bothered her as she grew up was when her older brother Ormund was killed. He was only just knighted and entering his first ever joust. It should have been a fun day but instead tragedy struck them when he was knocked off his horse and killed by the trampling feet underneath. The death was no one’s fault, a mere accident, but Elinor would never forget watching on as someone she loved was brutally trampled.

Elinor thought she and her family were invincible until the war broke out. When news got to her that Oldtown had been taken by Daena Targaryen, and her cousins were taken hostage, it was the first time she ever felt fear in her life. She was not included in any war correspondence as she was still a young teenager but her days were filled with apprehension as the news flooded in of the kingdom’s many losses.

One day the war finally came to King’s Landing. The royals were properly warned of course that Daena Targaryen and Drogon were coming for them and Elinor was forced to leave the city through the secret tunnels with the rest of her kin. They could not carry much with them, only a small trunk, and the rest of her things, her childhood toys, her clothes, all burned when the city did under Drogon’s great might. Her childhood died as well that day.

The rest of the war was spent hidden behind the great walls of Harrenhal and trying her best to keep out of everyone’s way. She spent a lot of time with her sister Myrcella, her mother, and her second cousins. There wasn’t much for her to do and the atmosphere was tense. Elinor felt as though she lost about five years off her lifespan fearing for the lives of those around her and worrying about what would happen next. She was grateful for the war’s eventual end.

Though just because the war ended, that did not mean an end to her tragedy. Soon after returning to King’s Landing, the king and her older brother, Garlan Tyrell, fell ill. He insisted he was still well enough to do his duty to the realm and maybe working through his illness was what eventually killed him. Even so her big brother was dead. Elinor would never again see the crooked smile on his face. She mourned heavily for several months as did the rest of the kingdom.

Her sister, Myrcella Tyrell, had become the queen of the Iron Kingdom and she was now the heir. She had never been raised for politics and now wasn’t the time for it either. Instead they went on a royal procession to visit all the great houses and speak with every lord paramount. It was during this time that Elinor realized her sister wouldn’t have time for her anymore. She tried to find friends among the nobility she met during their process but none of it was the same as a bond with your sister.

When they returned in King’s Landing Elinor’s studies resumed in earnest. If she was the heir to the kingdom there was a lot she would have to learn if tragedy were to strike their family again. Though often Elinor chafed under the crushing weight of all of her new responsibilities and turned towards little rebellions to keep herself sane.
