Jon Sunglass

Jon Sunglass is the young ward of House Velaryon and former squire to the late Ser Daemion Velaryon. Born in the 1st moon of 79 AC, Jon was taken from his mother as a babe as a ward to keep House Sunglass on good behavior. He has been raised on Driftmark his entire life.

## Appearance and Character

Jon Sunglass stands tall at six foot two with broad shoulder-blades. Underneath his armor lies decently toned muscle gained from many years of hard work. His hair is blond and scraggly, going all the way down to his shoulders and slightly past. He uses a red rose brooch to hold up his light blue cloak, which hangs off one shoulder. His eyes are a light blue.

Jon has been in love with Daella Velaryon since he was ten and two, and his feelings are genuine compared to the many suitors vying for her hand. Jon is not a particularly good squire, but tries his hardest and has made many improvements from when he first started. He is a bit of "dunce" in the words of the Heiress to Driftmark, but all the same, he is the closest person to a friend she has.

## History

In the ashes of the Hook Uprising, Jon Sunglass was born. His birth on the 2nd day of the 1st moon of 79 AC was but a day before the birth of the Heiress to the family he would be warded with.

When Malentine Velaryon took Sweetport Sound, he had taken into custody the Sunglass family. When the rebellion ended, Lord Sunglass had returned, a vassal of House Rambton. In order to ensure their good behavior in lieu of not being hanged, Malentine Velaryon demanded a ward, due to having taking the castle in the King's name. The Iron King agreed, and told him to pick a Sunglass to take back with him.

Malentine settled on the babe that was just born, figuring it would be cruel to take a child from their mother, and even crueler to know that if he would kill the child if House Sunglass ever went against the Crown again.

### Early Life

Jon was raised well on Driftmark, as was befit his station of a nobleman. He was to be trained in arms under one of the finest swordsmen in the realm, Ser Daemion Velaryon. Jon Sunglass however, was not that good at first. His training was some of the best, and slowly but surely he improved, though he remained behind the bastard son of Vaegon Velaryon, Daemon Waters, who was a natural born warrior. Jon himself was much better at History and Law, as well as learning from the maester how to heal others. He also had a knack for studying the stars in the sky.

### Teaching Daella

As he grew up with the Velaryon family, he naturally gravitated towards the only person his age, Daella. While she was always cold to him, he never stopped trying to become her friend, and slowly, began to feel more. He was infatuated, and by his fourteenth nameday, he was sure this was much more than a child-hood crush. For Daella's fourteenth nameday, he pooled together what coin he had and managed to purchase a bravo's blade from a merchant that arrived from Braavos.

The same year, he witnessed the birth of Vaella, Daella's alternate personality, after she was wounded when he tried to teach her how to use her sword.

Vaella however, threw a wrench into his hearts desire. While Daella was NOT interested in his affections, Vaella was not only interested in reciprocating, but much much more. When he helped Daella communicate with Vaella, he promised to her that he would do nothing to shame her, no matter what Vaella wanted of him. He'd spend time with both of them, but never more.

### Death of a Knight

When the Rosegold Rebellion broke out in 93 AC, Daemion told the boy of four and ten to stay behind. At first he was bothered, for he wished to prove himself to his mentor and try and beat his now rival Daemon Waters. However, he felt lucky after the war ended, for his mentor perished at the Slaughter of Bitterbridge. Jon knew he too would have died had he gone.

### 98 AC and Onwards...

Jon remains steadfast in his love and loyalty to the Heiress of the Tides, as well as both her personalities. He will stand with her, to the bitter end and then some.
