[Mariessa Tremaine]

Mariessa "Mari" Tremaine

House: Tremaine
Status: Heir to Lord Marten Tremaine
Age: 16
Height: 5'5"
Hair: Auburn brown
Eyes: Emerald green
Build: Regal physique



Mariessa Tremaine is the current heir to House Tremaine, having stepped up to the position after the death of her brother. She is the eldest of Marten's twin daughters, and carries herself with the manners fitting of a noble lady.... that is when she is not out with her horse and falcon to go hunting. Mariessa and Jynessa are identical twins, though those who get to know them can tell them apart. Most of the time.

Before becoming the heir to the House, Mari was doted on by her father and she would frequently tag-along him and her brother to go hunting or riding through the plains of their lands. Most would say that her father's affection have made her a tad spoiled, as she is quite used to getting her way, though with the current situation of her House, she has had no choice but to live up to the expectations placed upon her. After all, her father is going through a difficult time, the least she can do is to not disappoint him.

Personality-wise, Mari is honest and patient, but also quite headstrong and stubborn. She used to have a great interest in knights and tournaments, but with the title of heir hanging on her shoulder, she feels she needs to step up to be more serious about it now... even if she would rather just go hunting or wear pretty dresses to tourneys.


Valerian
Mari's steed is no mere palfrey or even a rounsey, but a trained courser fitting more of a lord's son than daughter. The steed is a pinto, and Mari takes great care to take him out for frequent rides that is nescessary for a horse of his caliber.




Kevith Uller, protector

Status: Sworn sword to Lord Marten Tremaine, protector of Mariessa Tremaine
Age: 39
Hair: Black, with spots of gray
Eyes: Dark brown
Height: 6'2"
Build: Like a brick-house

In his youth, he was just a sell-sword, but his path led him into the services of House Tremaine. Over the years, he's become a well-respected member of the soldiers there and a friend of Marten Tremaine. Looking after Marten's daughters is like looking after girls that are like his nieces, and a job he takes seriously. He is not usually a very talkative person, but give him a few good beers or wines, and he'll tell all sorts of embarrassing stories.

The pole-axe is his weapon of choice, and he is often seen in brigandine armour. However, judging by his massive, scarred hands, he probably is just as deadly unarmed as he is with that pole-axe in hand.

He rides a large gray-coated destrier that he affectionately calls Reason. Usually when he comments something along with making someone see reason...

[Jynessa Tremaine]

Jynessa "Jyn" Tremaine

House: Tremaine
Status: Second-Daughter of Marten Tremaine
Age: 16
Height: 5'5"
Hair: Auburn Brown
Eyes: Emerald Green
Build: On the Thinner Side

Jynessa Tremaine is the twin sister of Mariessa Tremaine, the current Heir to their House. Jyn has always been the more demure sister and more fully took on the lessons of proper womanhood from their late mother. She often claimed to be filling too ill to ride around in the outdoors and that she needed more time left to her room. This, in turn, has resulted in her being particularly skilled with her words even if she is lacking in the more physical skills that her sister favors.

At times, this training has gotten to her head. She views her own skills, etiquette, and hobbies as what any elegant lady should emulate. But mother always told her that a courteous person holds their judgment unless it must be given for an effective reason. And thus, only Mari has received some teasing on the matter.

It is no secret that Jyn is actively striving towards improving her House's position. She is incredibly loyal to her family and wishes for them each to flourish, even if she does have to push them towards it.

[Terrance Stone]

Terrance Stone

House: Marten
Title: Master of the Hunt
Status: Bastard Son of Landon Marten
Age: 24
Height: 6'2"
Hair: Blond
Eyes: Blue
Build: Lanky


The bastard son of Landon Marten and elder half-brother to Liliane and Landall Marten, Terrance is in service to House Marten as Master of the Hunt. He has kept a respectful distance from his family, preferring to serve quietly in the position he earned, rather than seeking anything based on his blood. Even so, he keeps a protective eye on his siblings and his cousins, ready to come to their defense at any sign of danger.

While he is far more comfortable hunting game in the hills, valleys and forests of the Vale than he would be in any formal setting, Terrance can be quite social. This is especially true where alcohol and pretty women might be involved, as he is more like his father than he would care to admit. However, he can be legitimately charming, if a bit rough around the edges, when he needs to be.

But, hunting is what he is best at. He is a skilled tracker and a keen marksman. Little can escape his sharp eyes or match his deft movements. He continues to hone these abilities and is determined to make "Master of the Hunt" more than a title at Leonart Keep. Terrance wants there to be no question that he is a master hunter.

[Liliane Marten]

Liliane 'Lily' Marten

House: Marten
Status: Lady of the Court
Age: 18
Height: 5'8"
Hair: Sandy Brown
Eyes: Hazel
Build: Slim
Marital Status: Unbetrothed

Eldest daughter of Landon Marten Liliane is a cousin of the main line of house Marten. Liliane has something of a tomboy streak that has persisted in spite of her mother and aunt's best efforts. Not that she hasn't learned proper manners and how to be ladylike from them she just would rather not be shut up in the keep embroidering all day.

Reaching the age where her lack of an intended husband might soon be an embarrassment (and with all the bachelor's without direct blood ties in their part of the Valelands wed) it was decided to send her off with her cousin to the Reach for the tournament with some very pretty dresses and strict orders to act like she belongs in them there is hope she will catch some noble's eye. Both would be appalled to discover that the kit she had made to match the Marten's company of archers has come along with her.

[Maester Simon]

Maester Simon


House: Tremaine
Status: Measter
Age: 25
Height: 5'10"
Hair: Dark
Eyes: Brown
Build: Toned

Simon is maester of the house Tremaine, fresh out of Citadel. Having spent only few months with the Tremaine’s he cannot claim to know the house as well as he’d like to, even if he is doing his best to catch up with the needs of his lord. As historian and healer, Simon has taken to seeing to the education of lord Tremaine’s children - a duty he has found both pleasant and demanding.

Tall and toned by hours spent at the forge under Maester Ilmar, Simon could be well described as a handsome man. Yet, this matters little as he bears the maester’s chain around his neck and takes his vows seriously. Three silver links dangle on his chain along with two links of tin and one of blackest iron. Quick to bring up his opinion yet always yielding to the wishes of his betters, Simon faces the world with a shy smile on his face.

He also has a horse, Hura.

[Kylie Redwyne]

Kylie Redwyne


Age: 16 (Young Adult)
Gender: Female
Lord: House Redwyne
Height: 5’ 5”
Build: Svelte
Hair: Dark Brown
Eyes: Brown

Kylie is the youngest child of Mina and Paxton Redwyne. She has twin older brothers Ser Horas and Ser Hobber. Mina is the daughter of the infamous Queen of Thornes Olenna Tyrell. As far as her father's side, she is a bit of a "brown sheep." She does not boast the family's red-haired and freckled trait and as such it can be hard to spot her for who she is.



Kylie is a child of the water and loves to swim due to House Redwynes lands, the Arbor, being an island. The Arbor is hailed as having the best wine in all the world, Arbor Gold. This gives her a place of good standing among nobles and common folk alike. Who doesn’t love good wine?

She’s very friendly and can get on with most anyone. Kylie might be young, but she knows how to be discreet and often seems wiser than her years. She'd much rather make peace than hold grudges. She believes in true friendship and loves learning about other people and their lives. If you’re of lower standing, you shouldn’t be intimidated. In fact, her best friend and cohort Claryssa is her Braavosi handmaiden who is accompanying her to the Festival.


Claryssa

And they have both brought their horses, Byanca (a Palfrey) and Desmera (a Rounsey).


Byanca


Desmera

Hooks:
- She has visited a number of lands including the capitol so it’s entirely possible you’ve met her.
- If you’ve been to the Arbor, you’ve likely met Kylie!
- Have you met her esteemed Grandmother, Olenna?
- Kylie loves the water – sailing, swimming, and the smell of the beach.
- If you love horses, Kylie is happy to ride with you!
- Are you a friend of Claryssa's? You're a friend of Kylie's!


Note: Redwyne info can be found here. I swapped Desmera for Kylie and changed her description and perhaps as her fate. ^_~

[Claryssa]

Claryssa

Age: 20 (Adult)
Gender: Female
Lord: House Redwyne
Height: 5’ 6”
Build: Toned
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Brown

It takes a particularly remarkable servant for the noble public at large to take notice. You just might remember Claryssa if you've met her before as she is foreign with a Braavosi accent. Also, she and Kylie are genuine friends, so you may have been surprised by the presence of a commoner being so readily welcomed in the presence of a noble lady outside of normal duties.

She is protective of her mistress, and very loyal to the House of Redwyne. It is obvious to any that she is well-treated and valued (given her clothing and the fact that they've given her a horse of her own.) If she is not by Kylie's side, you might find her with the other servants, in the well-appointed pavilion, or perhaps caring for the horses - even taking Desmera out for a ride.

Hooks:
- Are you a friend to House Redwyne or Kylie? Claryssa will treat you with high esteem.
- At the beck and call of a noble yourself, either as a handmaiden or something else? Claryssa might be interested in swapping war stories.
- If you're going sailing, you might ask her along for the trip!

[Marten Tremaine]

Marten Tremaine

House: Tremaine
Status: Head of House Tremaine
Age: 39
Height: 5'11"
Hair: Blond
Eyes: Grey
Build: Solid
Marital Status: Widower

Marten is the head of House Tremaine, and the only remaining member of that house in his generation. He is the father of Mariessa and Jynessa Tremaine.

The loss of his wife and only son in a terrible fire has, for a time, taken away Marten's focus. Now, he has regained it, choosing to put his energy into his daughters. He is a practical man, and will try to do what he thinks is necessary to secure the future of his house. This is somewhat countered by the way he dotes on his daughters, especially Mari.

In his youth, Marten won some amount of renown as a tournament knight. That was long ago, though, and there are few who remember it. Indeed, he has not jousted at a tournament in many years.

[Leovall Marten]

Leovall Marten

House: Marten
Title: Ser
Status: Heir of Leofwin Marten
Age: 18
Height: 5'8"
Hair: Blond
Eyes: Blue
Build: Slightly stocky

Leovall grew up surrounded by experienced warriors, officers and knights all serving his father, the Lord of House Marten. Despite the near constant threat of mountain Clan attacks, and the danger of bandits, life was otherwise peaceful for the young heir of the Martens, especially at Fort Leonart. As the first born son his father focused on raising the boy to one day continue the rule of the House. His formative years were therefore spent learning the basics of statecraft, warfare, combat, letters and riding. Squiring for his father, he would grow to be a gifted rider and swordsman. Somewhat stubborn and ambitious, yet tempered by a deep seated tendency toward honourable and just behaviour, Leovall is a young man still finding his place in the world. He has many ideas for the growth of his House, but also a desire to prove himself and earn the family glory and acclaim. His father, being more conservative minded, is watching his son's progress thoughtfully. Leovall would like nothing more than to make his father proud. Being knighted by him only a year prior was a big moment and he hopes to prove he is worthy of it.

Being the heir of House Marten, the right age for marriage and single, Leovall has started to gain some attention among the maidens of the Vale. Fortunately, his parents have not pressured him about the topic yet, though his mother has asked his opinion of at least a few eligible young women. Truthfully Leovall is interested in romance and courtship, but currently more to get to know the fairer sex and to learn what's out there rather than to commit immediately. He knows he has a few years yet to decide, and a little brother should the worst ever happen to himself. Besides, he would like to see more of Westeros and to have some accomplishments to point to during any marriage negotiations, and not just his status as heir. The invitation to the tournament of House Meadows was therefore very appealing to him. Packing his things shortly after receiving permission to attend, he has been joined by his cousins and a small escort. He is looking forward to seeing both Liliane Marten and Terrance Stone enjoying themselves and getting a chance to show their talents. Also accompanying him are also his two horses; Cole the destrier, who is his love and joy, and Josey the gentle palfrey. In his backpack he has also brought his friend and pet Chase, a lazy and sleepy beech marten who becomes energetic and forever curious at night.

Hooks:
- He has visited a couple of gatherings and tournaments outside the Vale, and plenty within. Perhaps we've met?
- If you've travelled the Bay of Crabs you may have stopped in the Snout.
- It could be you know his parents, Leofwin and Adalicia?
- Do you enjoy horse riding, like pets or swordplay? Leovall does too!
- Are you a looking to make a new ally? He is an heir...
- Single and eligible? Well, so is Leovall.
