**Ellaria Vaith** is the eldest child and daughter of Lord Doran Vaith and is the current Heir to Vaith, in line to inherit after her father's death. She is widowed, having lost her husband to a brutal illness, and has four children, the eldest of which is illegitimate through her sworn shield and long-time lover, Ser Theodan of Vaith.

## Appearance and Character

Ellaria is something of a beauty. Her auburn hair is wavy and kept at collarbone-length, and she has blue eyes like many other of her siblings. Her features are rather sharp, and her body is lithe and supple, standing at a rather average height.

The typical Dornish free-spiritedness indeed flows through Ellaria, and she isn't shy about her promiscuity either, as evidenced by her open relationship with her lover, Theodan, though she had previously tied herself down to her beloved husband back during the time he was alive. Since his passing however, she has covered up her grief with the decadence of wine, a man to warm her bed, or sometimes even a woman. She uses this to her advantage, often manipulating whoever she needs to with the comfort of her body, using that in tandem with her other networks of informants.

She had always been disinterested with the typical duties that fell to the ruling Lord or Lady of Vaith, and for the duration of her husband's life wed to her, was fully prepared to let him take over most duties. Alas, since his passing, she has opened herself up to the idea of actually administrating her future lands, and though still disinterested, she at least understands the importance of such duties. That does not, however, prevent her from drinking and whoring her way through life, something which has proved to be a secret pain in her father's side.

## History

### Early Childhood

Ellaria was born on the 24th Day of the 4th Moon, 65 AC late into the hours of the evening to Doran Vaith, the Heir to Vaith at the time, and Danella Jordayne. Only a few years after her birth, in 68, her grandfather passed away, leaving her father as the new Lord of Vaith and her as his Heir.

When compared to Trystane, who was a parent's dream, Ellaria was a fussy and picky child, always wanting more than what she had, whether it be the food on her place or the toys in her collection. Though she would outgrow the fussier aspect of her personality, her drive for always obtaining more than what she currently had would stay with her as she grew, leading to her more undesirable traits, such as her constant drinking, which started at age fourteen, and the voracious lust that would develop in her as she reached her adulthood. She did not take very well to her studies either, instead preferring to lounge instead of learn how to administrate her future lands.

Ellaria had good relationships with most of her siblings, forming a stronger one with Ashara, who was very similair in terms of personality, if a bit more subdued and quiet. She was always rather distant from her brothers Trystane and Selwyn, instead preferring the company of her cousin, Olyvar.

### Bastardy and Marriage

In 83, Ellaria met Ser Theodan of Vaith, a knight in service to her father. Theodan was of the handsome, charming type, and the eighteen year old Ellaria considered herself charmed. Rather shortly, after only having met each other a few different times, he would bed her, taking her maidenhead. Trysts between them would grow more and more frequent, culminating in Ellaria growing with child.

Lord Vaith was immensely dismayed, always having kept more traditional views, but he did not force his daughter to drink moon tea and allowed the bastard, named Ysilla upon her birth, to be born in 84. Still, he made it a point to seperate Ser Theodan and Ellaria whenever he had the chance, and would arrange her marriage with her cousin, Olyvar, who was expected to take care of most of her duties once she was lady in her own right. As they already had a fairly close relationship, they were quite happy with each other, ultimately having 3 children: Sarella in 89, Nymor in 93, and Reyanna in 94.

Olyvar would ultimately pass of a rather brutal illness in 95, much to Ellaria's grief and disappointement. After some time had passed, she soon fell into her old habits of drinking and bedding whom she pleases, returning to the arms of her former lover Ser Theodan, this time with no objection from her father, though that wasn't to say he approve, he only disapproved quietly She began leaving her children more to the care of the maesters and septas, leading to Doran and Danella taking a more active role in their lives in her stead. She secretly feels guilty over her neglect, but finds herself unable to address it, instead just drinking more and more.

Despite the depression she's sunk into, she has finally started to actively learn the intracacies of administration, and has began assisting her father in aspects of his rule.
