Oraella Baratheon

The Fawn of Storm's End

 Brother - Arrec Baratheon

 Half-Brother - Ardan Storm

**Oraella Baratheon**, commonly referred to as **Ella Baratheon**, is the youngest child and only daughter of Arlan Baratheon and his wife Cassandra. She has a reputation for troublemaking, not unlike her brother Arrec and half-brother Ardan.

## Appearance

Oraella is tall for her age, standing less than a foot shorter than her brothers. She has a lanky frame, with long arms and slender legs and a skinny torso. Oraella has wild curling black hair that falls to her shoulders messily, much to the chagrin of herself and her mother. Oraella has round, curious eyes of a blue-green colour, which glisten mischievously when she is lying or up to no good. The fair skin on her round, long face is peppered with freckles, predominantly on her high cheekbones. She has no blemishes or scars on her box jawline, though she does have a small birthmark roughly shaped like a heart on the left side of her neck.

## Biography

### Background

While to some, the Stormlands is a wet and dour place, Oraella has always held a great affection for her home. Some of her earliest memories are of splashing around in the rain as her mother chased after her, fretting about her ruined dresses.

Oraella has always been a keen reader, and grew to admire Jonquil Darke and Visenya Targaryen, deciding from a young age that she wanted to be just like these legendary women. With permission from her father, Cassandra would train with a wooden sword and dress like a squire, until her mother caught her and tried to explain it was not womanly.

However, after Durran became Lord Regent of the Stormlands and head of House Baratheon, Oraella was no longer permitted to train in the yard nor permitted to dress as a boy. She was growing into a lady, and by Durran's command, would start acting like one. However, Oraella continued her trips to the armoury, and was soon found by Ardan Storm while trying to pick up their grandfather's axe.

### *Reign of the Dragons*

Durran betrothes Oraella to Tristifer Tully, much to Cassandra's dismay, due to the twenty-year age difference, and to the fact that Tristifer has two bastards. Oraella is spotted with her mother when the Targaryens arrive at Storm's End. While attending a gathering of ladies, Oraella and the matter of her betrothal sparks a confrontation between Cassandra and Rhaenerys Targaryen, though Orealla herself vacates the room just before they argue. However, when Rhaenerys leaves, Oraella and all the other present women are revealed to have been standing behind the door, having likely overheard the entire thing. Rhaenerys sees her in the company of Glennys Tully a couple days later and, before going to find Aerion, pauses to murmur some unpleasant sentiments to her. However, Oraella evidently fails to make sense of Rhaenerys' words.

## Personality

Strong-willed, boisterous and stubborn, Oraella Baratheon is a girl like no other. She carries herself with a confidence far beyond her years, and with a growing penchant for rebelliousness. Even at the young age of twelve, she is nothing if not wild and proud.

Despite her skill at finding herself in trouble, Oraella has proven to be equally as skilled at getting herself out of it, wielding a charisma which far exceeds what most anyone would expect from her. All these factors combined have left her a somewhat controversial figure in Storm's End, with some seeing her traits as an endearing reminder of her Baratheon blood, while others see her a brat and hellraiser in desperate need of correction.

Though tomboyish, Oraella is also a very intelligent young girl. She has seemingly inherited her mother's keen mind and is able to grasp concepts most would expect her to have trouble with. She has a love of history and legends, often imagining herself as one of the great warrior women she so enjoys reading about.

Oraella sees herself as an adventurer, always eager to learn more and see more. Her major fears are of losing the ones she loves, such as Arrec, Ardan and her mother, or seeing her father as he withers away.
