Sansara Tyrell

Sansara is the youngest daughter of Lord Alester Tyrell of House Tyrell. She is a young girl who desires adventure, but is hindered by the high expectations placed upon her. She is regarded as charming and reserved with a history of getting herself in slight trouble.

## History

As a daughter of Ser Alester Tyrell, Sansara was raised in the spotlight of her father’s position, though less so than her elder siblings. She grew up on the knowledge of tutors, but favored more the riveting tales her father told each time he returned from afar. With all the privilege and grandeur of Highgarden, it was important for her to learn how to show humility.

At the age of 7, Sansara began to learn how to better connect with the people. Routine visits to Oldtown taught her to mingle and be courteous. She was introduced to the local market vendors as well as notable septons and septas of the region. One day, as her guardian fetched  some things from the markets, she used the opportunity to sneak away. The cobblestone streets of Oldtown, however, are a labyrinth and soon she found herself lost among the crowds. Instead of panic, she felt an unusual sense of freedom to be away from constant guardianship. The further she walked, the more excited she became until she reached the ports. Sansara was captivated by the way the Sunset Sea poured into the sound. The ships and their rushing crews had all her attention, that she barely noticed where she was heading. The stone beneath her feet shifted to wood, its dampness too slippery for her footwear. In the blink of an eye, she found herself slipping and tumbling over the edge of the docks.

The sound of the people was muted under the water, and she remembers the still calmness below the waves. It was gone all too quickly as a sailor dived in and pulled her up. Sansara’s heart was beating so loud, it took a moment for the sounds of the chaotic crowd that had gathered to reach her ears. Things moved quickly after that. They had asked her name and upon giving it, whispers became louder. Someone from the seaside market had fed her fresh fish while they searched for her guardian and bandaged the injury she hadn’t noticed on her leg.

The sailor who had rescued her received a hefty reward on behalf of her father’s gratitude. Her guardian had eventually been sacked for incompetence. Sansara had walked away from the incident with a light scar on her right leg and a desire for that heart-racing rush again. However, from that point on, the level of expectation from Lord Tyrell soared. She was taught just where to step and when to speak; when to be visible and when to be unseen.

Rumors of her impulsive “adventures” have circulated over the years -- some tales embellished by her own father for the sake of comedic appeal -- but Sansara has done her best to be seen as poised and ladylike in the eyes of the public;as expected.

## Personality Traits

Sansara is known for being polite and charming, but slightly reserved in most public situations. She demonstrates a proper air expected of a lady one of the Great Houses. While Sansara attempts to go about her days with poise, away from watchful eyes, however, she prefers rolling up the hems of her skirts and letting herself be adventurous. This conflict between public and private behavior tends to get her reprimanded and has seen her into troubling situations in the past.

Overall, she is a genuinely kind-hearted young woman who is grateful to enjoy the privilege of her upbringing, but also delights in the occasional stray from expectations.

### Likes

Books and tales, dancing, the sea, and seafood

### Dislikes

Being the center of attention, constant formalities, and lightning

## Appearance

Sansara is a young girl who took on the majority of the Tyrell features. She has thick, long loose curls of brown hair that appears lighter in the sun. She did, however, take on the recessive trait of her almond-shaped lighter eyes as opposed to the typical brown of her family. This is a trait that garners her unwanted attention.

Her youthful, petite frame is still developing and maturing, as noted by the seamstresses of Highgarden who have been asked to tailor new gowns for her every few months.

She has a thin, light scar that wraps around the ankle and calf of her right leg. The result of careless disobedience on a trip to Oldtown. It can only be scene if and when she is caught running around in a frowned-upon manner.
