Dacey Mormont is one of three living daughters of Maege and Joer Mormont. She and her twin sister Lyanna have lived on Bear island with their three brothers for most of their lives. A very devoted and fierce fighter, Dacey would protect her family to the ends of her own ability if needed.

## Appearance and Character

Dacey inherited much of the appearance of her mother, piercing icy blue eyes and brown hair the same of many Mormonts before her, some say she even looks like a younger form of her mother, though Dacey would never admit she had any of the greater beauty of her young mother. Though some may say it lies behind her militant and brash disposition, Dacey would never notice it, nor would she care.

Dacey is a woman of action and assertion. When she isn’t pressing her siblings to solve the newly emergent issue around their home island, Dacey is either training at arms with the garrison or solving those issues by herself. She shares the same attachment to her home and family as her mother but alongside the fierce fervour of her father. Dacey is well initiated in Statecraft and intelligent research, but her duelist’s hand is difficult to rival, and her ferocity less so.

Like her mother Dacey is a very athletic woman, making sure to keep fit and train regularly. She is a common show in the well-known “Bear brawls” where the best of Dacey’s ability is showcased. In a way her sword fighting is a therapeutic way to harness her temper, putting it towards a productive effect rather than wasting it on siblings and petty squabbles

## History

Dacey was born in 75 A.C alongside her twin sister Lyanna. Being born to a mother with a heavy attachment to her children, Dacey and Lyanna were never away from their mother for the first five years of their lives. It was during this time that Dacey developed a loving admiration of her mother, wooed by stories of her studious and impressive youth.

When Dacey was little she would scavenge whatever materials she could find around her home and build crude castles and buildings around her chamber floor to the point that Lyanna would complain to their mother about poked feet and dirty floors. Instead of intervening in her daughter’s building to put it to an end, their mother instead, to Lyanna’s displeasure, encouraged her daughter to continue her interest. This began a long history of workmanship and splinters, as Dacey’s young education burgeoned into a growing mastery of construction. It even got to the point that Dacey’s tutors would involve crafters and sculptors among maesters to develop her talent.

Dacey was always close to her twin sister. From birth, the two would share a bed, even when their mother finally allowed them to separate from them they still slept in the same bed for warmth against the cold of the island. Their relationship wasn’t always easy though, as Dacey had a strong temper that could be let out at simple accidents. It was often that Lyanna would accidentally knock a new model Dacey spent an evening building and the girl would be answered by fierce screaming and hurtful strikes that would eventually be calmed by their parents’ intervention. Eventually, Lyanna learned to keep far away from her twin’s creations, and Dacey’s crafting was moved to better locations, such as dedicated tables, as she grew.

Her life changed the day her younger brother Jon died. Even though Dacey kept a heavy temper before the day her brother died of the sweating sickness, the girl felt the frustration of failure to protect her younger brother, and her temper was only easier to awaken. This wasn’t helped with her older brother Jon drowning with his friends. At this point in her life Dacey became more of a loner, more rarely coming out to interact with the island to the point even her building stopped bringing satisfaction. When Dacey was eight, she met a group of four local boys. The boys seemed to be friendly enough to the girl at first, but eventually offhanded comments to the girl’s home and family lead to a long fistfight between the two groups. It took the boys four pairs of black eyes and a dozen lost teeth before they could subdue the fiery girl. From that day forward the locals always called her by the moniker “Dacey the Dangerous  a. ”. It was the next day that her mother first put a sword in Dacey’s hands, realizing that her powerful anger could be tempered by the release of combat. It was also the day Dacey learned how to harness her temper, to pick her fights wisely, and that it was better to live to fight another day than fight a battle she cannot win.

Throughout her childhood, Dacey always felt a hole in what achievements she could manage. Hearing tales of her mother’s successes made what Dacey could manage to feel small. A new castle model she could design paled at the thought that Maege Mormont had once gotten her parents to rebuild the whole keep in stone at just five years. There was one day when Dacey was fourteen, having heard some offhand comments from the garrison about her supposed ‘arrogance’ at how she had yet to prove herself where her mother had, Dacey decided that to solve the problem she would draw out a bear and slay it in front of them all. Despite the comments of Lyanna that she debunked as a simple lack of trust, the next day Dacey went out to look for a bear den. It took two weeks before she finally found one, adapting a makeshift plan to draw it toward the Mormant keep and get her notoriety. Unfortunately, Dacey underestimated the power of the bear as it fought off the teenage girl’s failed attempts to subdue it. The concerned mother Maege instead fought off the bear, saving her daughter’s failure of the day but still deepening the pit in her spirit. From the Bear, Dacey’s mother made a cloak, a bearskin cloak that still remains as her most valued possession and a reminder. That day, Dacey learned a very important thing; that no matter how hard she tried she couldn’t do everything alone.

Dacey found a newfound connection to her family in her later teens. Following the fight with the Bear, she took up hunting with her mother and finally began listening to the doubts of Lyanna which she discovered had a good deal of reason behind her. Through sparring with her siblings, of which she was often the victor, Dacey developed her control of her fiery temper, harnessing it in more powerful forms as she trained. This sparring also developed her relationship with her siblings, building a powerful bond to her house that she could never forsake.

## Family

Dacey has a close connection to her siblings in the tight knit family of the Mormonts. Her and Lyanna usually tell their brothers what to do, and Dacey has taken a sort of “Guard Bear” philosophy with them. She looks up to her parents as role-models and goals to surpass, though she often hunts alongside her father and mother and is quite close. The death of her brothers Jon and Alaric were traumatizing experiences for a young Dacey, largely the catalyst for her current mentality
