## History

Rhea Redwyne was born on the 4th Moon of 362 AC as the third child and first daughter to Loras Redwyne and Olenna Florent. As a child she was always quiet, never crying or screaming compared to her younger sisters. She had two older brothers who were always overprotective of her, always fending off any boys that would try to woo her.

The Redwyne family was a happy one, one filled with laughs and love. It was everything a young girl could have asked for. Unlike others of high birth, there was not a lot of weight on her shoulders; she was not expected to lead, nor to garner a particularly high-profile marriage. As such, she was free to play and explore around the grounds alongside her sisters and cousins.

The Arbor was a wonderful place to grow up in. It was truly a summer paradise, filled with year round bright days, beautiful beaches and delectable fruits. Life was perfect for the young Rhea, her childhood and happy upbringing left no room for remorse or negativity.

As she grew, however, her mother insisted that she needed to learn the ways of a true lady. Rhea was quickly separated from her cousins and surrounded with maesters and septas. She did not mind the less time playing and began to create a greater focus and understanding on her studies. Rhea spent sleepless nights reading and prodding where she wasn’t supposed to.

This came to the attention of her grandmother, Alicent, who was said to say Olenna "the Queen of Thorns" reborn for her sharp tongue and nonchalant mannerism. She would take Rhea under her wing and taught her how to move and speak through matters of the court. It was with her that she first heard tales of intrigue and scheming - stories that she should have derided but couldn’t quite help feeling drawn to them. Rhea aspired to be like her grandmother and predecessor, for one reason or another she knew everyone’s secrets and always knew what to say. An inspiration for Rhea to say the least.

At the age of three and ten, Rhea was sent off to become a Lady in Waiting to the esteemed Princess Myrcella in King's Landing. The ripples and repercussions of the War of White and Gold continued to take a hold on House Redwyne. As staunch supporters of the White Rose, Rhea's father Lord Loras, was told he would send his firstborn daughter off to King's Landing to be raised and kept in the safety of the Red Keep when she came of age. Rhea was educated and raised alongside the royals where she quickly became friends with Myrcella and the royal bastard Mace Wildflowers.

As Rhea aged, she began to show signs of great desirable beauty and grace. This beauty accompanied by her sharp mind made the perfect weapon as she ascended into the world of schemes and intrigue. It is in King’s Landing and the Red Keep where she truly learned to navigate the social arena both with ease and difficulty. And so she learned to sneak and peek through the corridors of the Red Keep, gathering whatever information she believed was important. It was during this time that she became more and more involved with the more unsavory characters passing through.

Through her ability to maintain a false persona and establish connections, Rhea soon found herself the recipient of a newfound fountain of information. For the price of a drink and a copper or two, it was astounding how talkative some men - or women - would get.

When Daena Targaryen invaded Westeros atop her dragon, Rhea, like everyone else, was in shock. Was it truly the end of the rose dynasty? Word came to Rhea of her father's surrender, although most called him a coward, she felt a relief to know her home and family were still alive. Soon enough the war would come to her. The Siege of King's Landing was a bloody and deadly one. An event that still placed Rhea and everyone she knew in the Red Keep at risk. She felt defenseless, a mere lady whose weapons were secrets and information. Rhea's survival would come in the form of underground tunnels underneath the Red Keep, built long before during Maegor Targaryen's rule.

Rhea emerged from her seclusion with the royal family and the rest of the nobles at the call of victory. Daena Targaryen and her great mythical beast laid dead, her army scattered and empire collapsed. The joy was short lived however, as tragedy would fall upon House Redwyne. Rhea's lord father and brothers killed in the War of the Last Dragon. Willas, the heir to the Arbor, cut down by the Last Dragon herself, Garth, burned down by Drogon's blaze and her father, called a rebel and coward when she saw him as a hero, executed in his own home.

After years in a foreign court, she was sent back to the Arbor to mourn the losses of those closest to her. Her cousin, Androw Hightower, would bring back the bones and remains of her loved ones speaking of the heroic deed her brothers and father had done. Rhea would rise to be the new Lady of the Arbor and Head of House Redwyne, a responsibility she didn't expect or take lightly.
