## Biography

Malaenyra was born at Castle Driftmark in 281 AC to Lord Lucerys Velaryon of the Tides. She never met her mother, as her mother was sickly and ill, and it was the same up until her mother’s death. Lucerys kept their mother’s identity a secret from everyone save for his most trusted servant: a midwife and nursemaid by the name of Elyana Flowers. Malaenyra and Alaenera’s mother is Nymeria Essys, a Greenbold hydromancer from Dorne. Malaenyra spent the first year of her life with Queen Rhaella and the young Prince Viserys at Dragonstone, up until the Sack of Dragonstone by Baratheon-Lannister forces. Subsequently, Malaenyra moved back to Castle Driftmark and when she was three, her younger sister Alanera was born, which subsequently killed Nymeria.

As children, Malaenyra and Alanera faced a staggering amount of assassination attempts on their lives, so they were secretly spirited away to Seagard in the Riverlands with their nursemaid, Elyana Flowers, a Baratheon bastard, in 288 AC and were graciously raised within House Mallister.

At one point, Lord Mallister and Lucerys arranged for the daughters to marry. Alanera was to marry Patrek Mallister and Malaenyra was to marry Robb Stark so that Lucerys would have heirs to Driftmark. Malaenyra travelled aboard one of House Mallister’s small ships with a few men and sailed around East Coast, their destination being Widow’s Watch. However, Malaenyra never makes it to Winterfell or even to Widow’s Watch, as the ship hit a bad storm and crashes. Malaenyra washes up on the northernmost point of The Grey Cliffs, stealing a boat and finding herself in the Haunted Forest Beyond-the-Wall. Over the next four years, Malaenyra lives beyond the wall, between the edge of the Haunted Forest and Hardhome, becoming close with the River Clan, specifically Chieftess Karsi, the Free Folk coming to call her "Tempest" for her abilities.
