## Appearance and Character

Elaenah Redwyne was considered to be a "stoic beauty" by those around her, oftentimes seen with a neutral expression on her face. Her smile never quite reaches its peak, oftentimes being relaxed as if she doesn't try hard enough to smile properly. Her hair is dark black, reminding one of a raven's feather. Her eyes remind one of chestnuts, with a hint of gold to them. Her skin is a pale ivory, with no significant birthmarks or scarring to be seen. She is 5"9, and around 165 lbs. She is most often seen wearing a red dress with lots of jewelry.

Elaenah is a cunning woman with her eyes set on achieving the goals she has set for herself. She will do anything to get what she wants, whether that is through scheming or plotting- it doesn't matter to her. From the very beginning, Elaenah showed a small lack of empathy for those around her and tended to care only about herself and her family. This has led to her being a secluded child from a young age, oftentimes seen playing or studying by herself. However, as she gets older she showed a sense of camaraderie with her fellow Reachmen, oftentimes writing up pages upon pages of contracts for other Houses to enable them a chance to communicate fluidly with others. Her love for writing allowed her to become an excellent writer, often writing books upon books on things she finds knowledge on.

It wasn't until she met her husband Rykard that she had come out of her introverted shell, often teasing the man with quick words and small threats veiled under compliments. Being married to this man has allowed her to blossom more, often seen with a gleeful smile on her face as she debates with him. With her superior wits, she finds that she's a match for him- and thus, helplessly falling in love with him.

When it comes to her children, Elaenah shows a sense of fierce protectiveness over them despite the fact that she doesn't see them too often. Her children live with their father, Valerion Targaryen, and she finds a sense of peace in that. They are safe from harm in Essos. Nonetheless, she tends to write pages of letters for her eldest daughter Alyranie to read to her younger siblings- entailing in detail how much she misses them.

## History

Born at the Arbor under House Redwyne's Lord, Elaenah showed extreme talent for her studies from a young age. Never being interested in the ways of the sword, Elaenah instead put all of her energy into writing stories for other children to read. She graduated from her studies at the ripe age of 16, watching her brother take over Lordship of the Arbor soon after. She is the youngest of her siblings, oftentimes teased for it growing up. Nonetheless, she was a troublemaker who enjoyed watching her siblings fall into the traps she had made for them playfully. This seems to have sparked a scheming bout in her, as she went on to often play tricks and schemes even as an adult.

At the age of 23, she was gifted Bandallon as a reward from her brother for her hard work and compassion towards House Redwyne. She was quick to move into the castle by the sea, often writing letters to her family. Her first engagement was a business proposal to House Targaryen, in which Valerion Targaryen offered to take her hand in marriage in exchange for paying for her dowry and gifting her the title Princess Consort. During this marriage, she would give birth to three children; Alyranie, Braedon, and Daenera Sunfyre. This marriage, however, wouldn't last long. Not much long after, she would divorce Valerion and move back home to Bandallon, where she remained unmarried for a small time. Her children remained with their father in Essos.

It wasn't long before she had began writing letters to a certain House Sloane dynasty member, a Ser Rykard Sloane- a witty man with a love for his family. She found solace in his letters, oftentimes being seen visiting Reachshield to deliver them by hand. What began as mere letters of intrigue and intellect soon developed into letters of love and adoration, with Rykard confessing his love to her first. With that, the two began their slow ascent into marriage, courting each other for weeks on end. With this, however, came the trouble of asking her brother, Lord Redwyne, for her hand in marriage. It took a few weeks of convincing, before he finally relented and allowed the young man to marry his sister. Happily, Elaenah accepted his marriage proposal, and the two have been inseparable ever since. They soon welcomed their first child into the world, naming their firstborn son Sion Redwyne.
