Mariya Darry

Lythene Darry

**Mariya Darry** is the second daughter and third child of Lord Willem Darry and his wife, Lady Anya Vance. She is a maid of twenty-four years, who serves as Princess Saera Targaryen’s maid, and who has been warded to Harrenhal since she was a small child.

## Appearance

Mariya stands at five foot nine inches and weighs a hundred and fifty pounds, a slim build with relatively little in the way of curves. Her hair is as black as coal, streaming down her back freely excluding the rare occasions she is called upon to attend a ball or other function. Her eyes are dark brown and lips as red as fire stones, sat upon a face whose visage is harsh and severe.

She dresses as plainly as possible, often appearing to be a servant with her comely but common features, hair often concealed beneath a coif. For more formal occasions she often wears dresses of rich green and red, usually with a set of emerald or red garnet earrings.

## History

**393** **AC**: Mariya Darry is born as the third child to Willem Darry and Anya Vance, after her brother Raymun (389) and sister Falena (392). Unlike her martial older brother and bookish older sister, Mariya is born small and slight, and though she will grow tall remains thin.

**396** **AC**: Her youngest sister and final sibling, Lythene is born. She is a beautiful young girl who loves flower arranging and horses.

**396**-**404** **AC**: Mariya lives an uneventful life at Castle Darry, tutored by septas and maesters as most noble children are. During this time she learns a variety of basic skills, though none to a particularly high level of proficiency (*Swimming, Storytelling, Cooking, Running, Smuggling, Healing, Literacy, Riding*).

**404** **AC**: In an effort to gain favour with their dragon-riding neighbours Mariya is warded to Harrenhal, and due to their similar age given to Saera Targaryen as a lady in waiting.

**406** **AC**: The two become fast friends, the two pre-teens seeming to be almost inseparable.

**408** **AC**: In a castle full of those more important and more influential, Mariya learns to blend in and hide most effectively, using her new-found abilities to appear and disappear like a shadow whenever she or her charge are in trouble (Stealth).

**410** **AC**: Their relationship becomes… well a relationship.

**411** **AC**: Mariya and Saera go to tame Moonfyre along with a few retainers, Mariya acting as her second in the taming.

**413** **AC**: Her brother Raymun dies of a lance through the throat in a tourney, leading to Mariya becoming second in line to House Darry and all its fortunes.

**414** **AC**: As inevitably happens their relationship is found out, but via a combination of bribery and threats Mariya convinces the men who saw the two intimately *mysteriously forget* what happened (Deception).

**417** **AC**: Mariya journeys to King’s Landing, in a wagon because they *are* trying to keep this secret after all.
