Erena Penrose

## Lady of Parchments

Lythene Penrose

**Lady** **Erena Penrose** is the unlikely Lady of the Parchments, inheriting after the premature deaths of her two elder brothers.

She is the third child and first daughter of Lord Tristifer Penrose by his royal wife, Valaena Targaryen of Summerhall.

## Appearance

Appearances can fool, and they can most certainly fool in the case of the young Lady Penrose. A mixture of Andal and Valyrian, Erena possesses the noble looks of both sides, toning down the rawness of her Stormlander father and the fragileness of her Valyrian mother. Many are fooled by her skin tone, light, thinking it is a result of her sickly nature, but in all reality, Erena isn't sickly, and the paleness of her skin can be attributed to the blood of the dragons.

Her eyes are mauve purple, her hair a light chocolate brown, thick and wavy, and her body well-proportioned, though a bit skinny. She is short, barely a woman, and dresses in a way that uses that to her advantage. One can barely tell that she isn't even twenty.

## History

**399 AC** - Erena is born as the third child and first daughter of Lord Tristifer Penrose of the Parchments by his wife, Valaena Targaryen of Summerhall.

**401 AC** - Lythene, the youngest daughter of Tristifer and Valaena, is born in the Parchments.

**405 AC** - Erena begins her education as a noble lady, with an expectation upon her back that she would one day marry a lord of a House, great or small(er), and be his lady wife.

**407 AC** - Despite the noble lessons, she starts sneaking away, proving herself to be good at escaping.

**408 AC** - Erena's talents with her voice and lyre are discovered by the girl's mother, further developing her as a noble lady. Around that time, under her father's wing, the girl starts to learn Stewardship, in case of her future noble husband's absence. It turns out she has quite a
 gift for it too.

**410 AC** - Erena's father Tristifer dies of a sudden heart attack, with
 her eldest brother William inheriting the title. The grief of the Penroses is public, so all members of the House, including Erena, are home-loved. The girl learns from her brother, and oft is there when
guests are over, so she quickly proves herself a silvertongue.

**413 AC** - William dies, suddenly, after what is officially ruled to be a choking on food after a hearty meal. The next son, Sigfryd, becomes the Lord of the Parchments, and all effort is concentrated on keeping
the next lord and his sisters safe.

One day, however, when Erena and Sigfryd are out for a walk in the
woods, an arrow hits Sigfryd in the neck and he dies immediately. The archer who fired that arrow is never found. Erena is officially Lady of
the Parchments, with her uncle declared the Regent until his niece reaches the age of majority.

**415 AC** - Two years into the regency, Erena suddenly falls gravely ill. A healthy girl, her illness is seen as an unusual thing, and Erena herself suspects that with the day of her majority approaching, her
uncle might've done something to take her life and suspects a poisoning, and links her poisoning to the deaths of her brothers.

**416 AC** - For the next whole year, her health deteriorates, and in her absence, Lothar rules.

**417 AC** - Erena has recovered perfectly with the use of an antidote,
returning to full health and strenght, certain it was her uncle's doing.
 However, she knows she cannot simply accuse her uncle of poisoning as his reputation is intact. As her first public event since assuming her title, she is now in King's Landing.
