Arianne Fowler

**Arianne Fowler** is the secondborn child and only daughter of the late Lady of Skyreach, Allyria Fowler, and her husband, Lord Edgar. As her elder brother is still without children, she is the current Heir Presumptive to Skyreach and all of its lands.

## Appearance and Character

A woman barely in her prime, Arianne retains a lithe figure and an unblemished complexion, which is given a soft tan only by the Dornish sun. Atop her head sits a crown of long, golden-brown locks that appear a rich blonde shade in certain lights, whilst her eyes capture the colour of the cloudless, summer sky. Her most remarkable feature is her heart-shaped face, however, which is rarely seen among her peers without a likewise lovely smile.

Amiable and kind to most everyone around her, the daughter of House Fowler has never been in shortage of friends. And though she puts a perfectionist's effort into her act, it cannot be said that her intent is not genuine. Arianne very much cares about the people whose company she enjoys, and those she considers family and true friends would never see betrayal from her.

What she has difficulty with is letting people truly in, and whilst that wouldn't render her most treasured relationships superficial, she keeps her darker nature from but a few. She is not afraid to manipulate and apply deceit in order to get what she desires, but her actions driven by selfishness are always accompanied by guilt. As a person of cunning and compassion in equal measure, she is beset by an internal struggle of duality, and voicing her feelings about it would only validate something that she fears to come to terms with.

## History

Arianne Fowler was born to Lady Allyria Fowler and her husband and cousin, Edric Fowler. She was the second of two children in their marriage, six years younger than Allyria's heir, Arthur. She had an uncomplicated childhood growing up at Skyreach, and her septa would often praise how well-behaved and diligent she was throughout her lessons to her parents.

In truth, Arianne learned soon what her role would be, and she did her best to exceed expectations even if it meant discomfort. She was amiable to those around her, and she loved to chat up just about everyone. Of course, being a child in her position, oft-overlooked by her own parents in favor of politics and her brother, had its downsides as well. When all eyes averted from her; when she didn't have to act the part of the perfect daughter, her curiosity saw to the development of certain guilty pleasures, the worst of which was her indulgement in clandestine endeavors.

At nights, the Fowler girl would leave her room and explore. The grace she had learned to carry herself with during her lessons lent her near soundless steps, and utilizing her small frame, she could find a hiding spot just about anywhere in the castle - to lurk, to peek, and to listen. Sneaking around and gathering a scandalous amount of gossip material - even things, which in her younger years she did not understand - Arianne had her fair share of fun. Whatever she learned, however, she would not disclose; she liked to keep all of it to herself. It wasn't until her teenage years that she decided to utilize what she knew to her advantage.

Growing into a young woman, Arianne realized that intelligence coupled with her feminine charms made for formidable tools in getting just what she wanted. She had no great ambitions then, but while waiting to be married off to some lord, she went out of her way to find entertainment. Whilst she had carnal relationships with only a couple knights in her mother's service, she took pride in the attention men gave her, and never turned down an opportunity to flirt. It was all innocent on the surface.

The truth was, her life at Skyreach was boring, and she grabbed at every chance to feel relevant, or important. Being sent to the Water Gardens at the age of fourteen was a welcome change. On one hand, she could extend her range of friends with the elite of Dorne - young noblemen and women her age - and in a more politically apt environment like that, she could also profit her covert talents.

Since then, she spent the years between her home and the capital, and she ultimately came to prefer the latter. Her brother hadn't yet signed a marriage contract for her, which she could only assume was because of his lack of a wife and by extension, heirs of his own. What mattered to Arianne is that it left her options decidedly open, and she placed great value in her conditional independence.
