Lirenne Massey of House Massey, was the wife of Maegon Velaryon and thus took his surname after the marriage, being known ever since as *Lirenne Velaryon*, wife of the Lord Captain of Driftmark.

Since she married Maegon, he stayed close to her and did travel only around the shores of Westeros, spending time in the Trident, the Island of Tarth, King's Landing and the Stepstones but never venturing too far in order to be closer to the woman he loved.

She had two sons, Erin Velaryon and Aurin Velaryon, as well as a daughter called Sylgia Velaryon, whose birth caused Lirenne to die shortly after.

## Background and History

Lirenne was born in the seat of House Massey, born out of Vieran Massey and Darisel Manning. She was a bright woman, red headed with pristine blue eyes. As her father, she enjoyed fishing with him on board of his ship and had a bit of a tom-boy attitude in her early days but groomed her hair often, showing she also had a more femenine side.

### Meeting Maegon

In one of her fishing expedition at her early age of 22, she crashed her boat with the ship of Maegon who had come to the seat of House Massey in order to negotiate deals brought by House Velaryon to them. This angered Lady Lirenne who felt humiliated, having to be rescued by Maegon who joked on her. At the seat of the Massey, a storm hit hard, having to prolongued the stay of Maegon there. Lirenne and Maegon although they started with a tough beginning soon ended up helping each other. Lord Massey wanted Lirenne to marry Maegon, as he actually thought it would be a strong match to ally the Velaryons and the Masseys once more. Many of the Velaryons and Masseys had family ties from previous marriages.

### Marriage

Lirenne and Maegon played hard to get. Lirenne was pressured to be married and Maegon find any excuse possible to sail to the seat of House Massey. It was then that he was comfronted by Lord Massey and had to admit his feeling for Lirenne. She in turn, who was spying on the conversation blushed and realized her feelings were mutual. It didnt take long for them to finally connect and ended up marrying in Driftmark in a small ceremony by the sea. She was 24 at the time.

### Issue

At the early age of 26 she gave bith to twins; Erin and Aurin Velaryon, and she was a good mother to them. However, she felt pregnant once more at the age of 30 and this time, the pregnancy went smooth but the delivery was complicated. Sylgia was born successfully, but Lirenne soon succumb to puerperal fevers and died. This devastated Maegon, who had her buried in the Velaryon ways in order to be with her later in the afterlife.

Maegon had her face and body crafted at the head of his ship and never again lied with a woman in respect for his wife. Lirenne changed completely from a free spirit that drinked and enjoyed women, to a loyal husband. After her death, he never returned to the life of his youth but was known to drink a bit too much sometimes and to focus on raising his twin sons in the arts of the sea.
