History Characters / AlysanneLadyOfWinterfell

Previously one of Maegor's Black Brides, later one of the Seven Speakers who defended the legitimacy of Jaehaerys's marriage to Alysanne.

!! House Hightower
[[folder:Lord Gyles Hightower]]
The Lord of Hightower at the time of the story's beginning.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: He says, in all seriousness, that "Septa Rhaella seems quite normal", without realizing how tactless it sounded.
* NervousWreck: He lost his father-in-law and his own mother to dragonfire during Maegor's reign, which has rendered him extremely fearful around any dragon and dragonrider, even if the latter is as kind and gentle as Alysanne.

[[folder:Ser Eustace Hightower]]
Lord Gyles's son and heir.

* LikeFatherUnlikeSon: Courageous and decisive, he is the opposite of his nervous and fearful father.
* TheMourningAfter: He has lost his wife and children to the Shivers and still feels the loss extremely acutely, though, like Alysanne, he was forced to remarry soon and already has a daughter with his new wife Amalia.

!! House Darklyn
[[folder:Lord Arnold Darklyn]]
Father to Derryk Darklyn and Jonquil Darke.

* BelievingTheirOwnLies: Jonquil thinks he fits the trope. He tells her he planned to send her away to be raised by commoners because he thought she'd be happier in a two-parent family, but Jonquil suspects it had more to do with him not wishing to anger his wife.
* ChangeTheUncomfortableSubject: Back when Aenys I ascended the throne. When Lord Darklyn's fiercely pro-Maegor cousin Davos started badmouthing the new king and said, among other things, "your bastard girl is more ferocious", Lord Darklyn immediately snatched the opportunity to change the subject to Jonquil, then Derryk, then Derryk's squiring.
* IOweYouMyLife: He made Jonquil a landed knight and gave her a noble's last name after she saved his life.
* TookALevelInKindness: He became much nicer towards Jonquil after she saved him.
* ToughLove: He sends Derryk away to be fostered after he realizes the boy is ''severely'' spoiled.

[[folder:Lady Photinie Darklyn]]
Lord Darklyn's wife.

* TheMourningAfter: She is brokenhearted after her husband dies (apart from some problems such as the infidelity that resulted in Jonquil's birth, they were quite devoted to each other).
* OutOfCharacterIsSeriousBusiness: She offers Jonquil whatever reward she wants for rescuing Lord Darklyn, and her usual icy demeanor drops.
* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Lady Darklyn has borne many children, but only Derryk has survived beyond infancy. Some of her children [[TragicStillbirth have died in the womb]].
* WickedStepmother: A milder version than most. She is polite but cold towards Jonquil (it gets better after Jonquil saves Lord Darklyn's life and even more so after they bond over their love for Derryk's son).

[[folder:Lord Derryk Darklyn]]
Half-brother to Jonquil, he becomes Lord Darklyn after his father's death in 50 AC.

* BigBrotherInstinct: He is fiercely protective of Jonquil. In fact, it's at his insistence that she's raised in Dun Fort at all.
* FormerTeenRebel: A SpoiledBrat who grew up into a mature and responsible lord.
* FormerlyFat: Plump as a child, he becomes lean by the time he is seventeen.
* FridgeHorror: [[invoked]] When he throws a tantrum demanding for Jonquil to be raised in Dun Fort, he shouts at his mother that he doesn't have any other siblings and threatens to stop eating unless Jonquil is allowed to stay. Later, looking back, he realizes it was a ''lot'' harsher for his mother to hear than he thought, since Lady Darklyn had lost several infant children and always feared for Derryk's health as a result.
* OffstageVillainy: Downplayed. He used to be a horrible SpoiledBrat, but we aren't shown much of that because currently his childhood is only shown through the eyes of Jonquil, [[MoralityPet to whom he was always loving and supportive]].
* StarCrossedLovers: He was in love with Jalline Massey but couldn't marry her, because the Masseys were Maegor's loyalists and the Darklyns were formally TeamSwitzerland and actually secret sympathizers of the Faith Militant.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Lady Elmire Darklyn]]
Born Elmire Rosby, Derryk's eventual wife.
----
* BreakTheCutie: After the fear and strain she goes through during the last year of Maegor's reign, she miscarries her first baby and is utterly devastated.
* NiceGirl: Sweet and cheerful, she quickly wins the hearts of the rest of the family.
[[/folder]]

!! House Darke
[[folder:Lady Jonquil Darke]]
Born Jonquil Waters. Alysanne's fiercely loyal sworn shield, half-sister to Derryk Darklyn.
----

!! House Manderly
[[folder:Lord Theomore Manderly]]
The Lord of White Harbor at the start of the fanfic.

* FirstNameBasis: Alaric refers to him as "Theomore".
* TheGhost: So far, he is only mentioned but never appears.
* MoneyDumb: Downplayed. According to Alaric, he is far less careful with money than he should be and often takes loans.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Due to stormy weather in the Neck and the northern Riverlands, he hasn't received the most recent ravens from the capital and doesn't know about Cregmar's birth or the planned education reform.

[[folder:Lady Mara Manderly]]
One of Theomore's daughters, a lady-in-waiting at court.

* TheQuietOne: According to Alarra, she is a quiet, reserved girl who prefers reading and embroidery to talking.
* RichBitch: According to Jocelyn, she is prim and proud.

!! The Faith of the Seven
[[folder:High Septon (Lemmar Hightower)]]
The High Septon who holds the position at the start of the story.
----
* AdaptationalVillainy: He does it InUniverse to ''himself'' while he's thinking up the plot of ''The Royal Penance''. The play!High Septon is a ruthless KnightTemplar who makes the heroine climb the highest mountain as penance for incest, separates her children from her and makes them join the begging brothers. The actual High Septon's most harsh suggestion was for Alysanne to join the septas or silent sisters, and he took that back precisely because she reminded him she had three small children to care for.
* HiddenDepths: Turns out to be quite an expert on theatre.
* KnightTemplar: Unlike his own counterpart from the play, he is a downplayed version. He does push Alysanne to get married again to someone not related to her, but his scenes show he genuinely wants what's best for the realm and the people and is very sorry for Alysanne and her children (or at least is polite enough to act like he is).

[[folder:Septa Rhaella]]
Alysanne's cousin, a septa in Oldtown.

* CowardlyLion: She is timid and fearful, but offers to become one of a new group of WalkingTheEarth Seven Speakers, if sending them out is what's needed to [[spoiler:secure Aemon's claim on the throne]].
* OrSoIHeard: She says that the plays performed in Oldtown end with a magnificent grand finale, and immediately adds that it's what she's been told and that she wouldn't dream of attending one.
* ShrinkingViolet: As in canon, she is extremely shy with everyone save for Alysanne, the High Septon, and the septa who tutors her.
* StutterStop: She stammers all the time, except when she talks to the few people she really trusts.

[[folder:Elinor Costayne]]
Previously one of Maegor's Black Brides, later one of the Seven Speakers who defended the legitimacy of Jaehaerys's marriage to Alysanne.

* DontCallMeSir: Technically, she has the title of Dowager Queen. However, she absolutely hates it -- which is understandable, since she only gained it due to having been forced into marriage by Maegor.
* GoodParents: Even though King's Landing is a place full of terrible memories for her, she stayed there for her youngest son's sake. She only decides to move to Lannisport after her son leaves for the Reach to become a squire.
* MissingMom: She has been forced to stay away from her eldest son for so long that he barely remembers her.
* TakingTheVeil: She decides to take vows in a motherhouse in Lannisport.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: She has a wrinkled face despite only being in her thirties.

!! The Sunflowers
One of the theatre troupes invited to stage ''The Royal Penance'', whose rehearsals Alarra attends.

[[folder:Myribeth]]
The playwright and leading actress, born on Oakenshield.

* AffectionateNickname: She is Myrie to friends.
* TheChainsOfCommanding: She is finding it extremely tough to lead a theatre troupe; thanks to the Sunflowers' uncertain future, she is almost constantly on edge.
* DawsonCasting: She is middle-aged and plays an {{Expy}} of Alysanne, who is supposed to be in her mid-twenties at most. Her thoughts reveal there is simply no one else in the troupe able to be a leading lady. [[invoked]]
* FollowInMyFootsteps: She wants Brennan to be a mummer, though he has little acting ability and dreams of becoming a sailor.
* HiddenHeartOfGold: She has [[HairTriggerTemper quite the temper]], but a kind heart beneath it all. It's gradually revealed that, despite the Sunflowers' constantly precarious financial standing, she adopted Brennan after he was orphaned, allowed Obella to stay in the troupe after she got pregnant and gave birth to Garnet, and let Ellara and Melara join the troupe after the girls were orphaned (and, in Melara's case, widowed), even though they are terrible actresses.
* IWasQuiteALooker: She used to be very pretty when she started acting, but more than twenty years of a traveling mummer's life had taken their toll, and she is aware she'll soon be unable to portray the beautiful main characters.
* ImproperlyParanoid: She is wary about trusting Alysanne, thinking that she uses the women's courts to gain information that can be used against the women later. Alysanne has no such designs.
* {{Nepotism}}: She tries to defy it so furiously that she goes straight to [[AbusiveParents the opposite extreme]], constantly yelling at and belittling Brennan at the rehearsals and claiming he can do nothing right.
* NiceCharacterMeanActor: Downplayed. She plays a gentle virtuous queen but is quite an unpleasant person offstage. However, a lot of it comes from the strain she has to bear rather than genuine nastiness.

[[folder:Garris]]
An orphan of the Greenblood, specializing in villains.

* HonoraryUncle: "Uncle Garris" to Garnet.
* IronyAsHeIsCast: InUniverse. In the production of ''The Royal Penance'', he plays the High Septon. The orphans of the Greenblood very pointedly refuse to accept the Faith of the Seven.
* MasterActor: Easily the most gifted of the Sunflowers. Only Obella gets as much praise from other characters, and her acting is hindered by her inability to play romantic leads ([[DarkAndTroubledPast for no fault of her own]]).
* MeanCharacterNiceActor: He is an honest, reliable and kind CoolOldGuy with a knack for playing terrifying villains.
* SupremeChef: His cooking wouldn't look out of place on a high lord's table, in Myribeth's opinion.

[[folder:Brennan]]
A Lyseni orphan and adopted child of Myribeth.

* CrosscastRole: InUniverse. He used to play girls occasionally before his voice broke, and after [[spoiler:Ellara is traumatized and unable to act]], he gets cast as the crackling-voiced Crone.
* TheDutifulSon: He stays in the Sunflowers, despite having no interest in acting and no talent for it, because he feels deeply indebted to Myribeth for taking him in. He plans to leave and become a sailor only when he's certain Myribeth won't want for anything.
* UnderageCasting: InUniverse. He is a teenage boy playing twenty-six-year-old {{Expy}} of Jaehaerys in ''The Royal Penance''. Since the king in the play gets an early PlotTriggeringDeath, Myribeth deliberately gave the part to Brennan; it's his first major speaking role.

[[folder:Obella]]
A dancer from Sandstone.

* EnsembleDarkHorse: InUniverse. She plays the minor part of the Mother, but Alysanne thinks she is the best among the Sunflowers.
* HypotheticalCasting: InUniverse. Alysanne thinks she would be much better at playing the queen than Myribeth.
* IronyAsSheIsCast: Absolutely nails the role of the Mother, but has a troubled relationship with her own daughter. [[invoked]]
* MaternityCrisis: Gave birth to Garnet in the Sunflowers' cart when it was on the road.
* MyBelovedSmother: She is overprotective towards Garnet, who, in turn, resents it.
* ParentsAsPeople: She loves her daughter but, it's implied, struggles to keep a close relationship with her.
* RapeAsBackstory: She was raped twelve years earlier and still hasn't fully recovered, considering ThereAreNoTherapists in Westeros. Even Myribeth, who is generally sympathetic towards her, views her trauma as a pesky reason why Obella can't succeed her as the Sunflowers' leading lady.

[[folder:Garnet]]
Obella's daughter.

* ChildByRape: She was conceived when her mother was raped by an ironborn.
* ConvertingForLove: In a platonic version, she is so close to her ParentalSubstitute Garris that she converted to the Rhoynish faith when she was eight.
* CrosscastRole: At the start of the fanfic, since she is eleven years old, very slim and has a deep voice, she plays boys. [[invoked]]
* SweetTooth: She's very fond of sweetmeats.

[[folder:Caleotte]]
A handsome Reachman.

* HidingTheHandicap: He is [[spoiler:going blind]], which becomes the reason [[spoiler:for him to join the Sunflowers at all rather than seek to become a sellsword]].
* IgnoreTheFanservice: He pays no attention to the numerous hopeful girls who try to make his acquaintance.
* ImpliedLoveInterest: Alarra thinks he is in a relationship with Myribeth – she is strangely mild towards him (and since he is young, handsome, and healthy, it can't be out of pity like in Ellara's case or out of respect for old age and experience like in Garris's case), and he never shows any interest in his fangirls. [[spoiler:Actually, it's revealed he is slowly but surely going blind]].
* MrFanservice: He is drop-dead gorgeous, graceful and tall, with a beautiful voice, and is always smartly-dressed. Many girls in the audience swoon over him.
* TheQuietOne: He is strangely reclusive and is rarely seen anywhere except the stage and the Sunflowers' cart. [[spoiler:That's because his sight is rapidly failing and he is desperate to hide the fact]].
* SuperSenses: He has excellent hearing, which Jonquil finds out when she's sent to spy on him.

[[folder:Ellara and Melara]]
Twin sisters from Dorne.

* CrosscastRole: [[invoked]] In the first act of ''The Royal Penance'', they play begging brothers.
* OldMaid: Ellara, [[DeliberateValuesDissonance at twenty-two]], is desperate to find a husband and start a home of her own.
* TraumaCongaLine: During the Shivers epidemic, they lose their father and Melara her husband, so they have to join the Sunflowers. Since they have no acting talent whatsoever, they mostly act in silent and BitCharacter parts, so they don't even get ADayInTheLimelight, literal or figurative. Then Ellara, desperate to improve the situation, [[spoiler:accepts Hugh's CastingCouch offer, only to be let down in the cruelest way possible]].
* UnderageCasting: Melara, only twenty-two, plays the Crone (until taking over as the Maiden). [[invoked]]

* UnderageCasting: Melara, only twenty-two, plays the Crone (until taking over as the Maiden). [[invoked]]

* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: At the start of the story, she is hit with it very hard. Not only does she lose her daughter to the Shivers as per canon, she also loses her beloved husband whom she has literally known all her life, and with Exceptionalism rejected by the Starry Sept, she is forced to remarry just a year after Jaehaerys dies. For many months, she is near-numb with grief.

* GoodStepmother: She dotes on Alarra Stark, and Alarra is deeply devoted to her – it helps that their friendship developed long before there was any notion of Alysanne marrying Alaric.

* LastSecondWordSwap: While Alaric is angrily scolding Aemon for being forty minutes late to a lesson, he starts saying "You'll grow up and [[UnbalancedByRivalsKid be half a year late for your progresses, like your]]—", when he catches himself and awkwardly ends the phrase with "like your childhood misdemeanors, only worse".

[[/folder]]

* TeethClenchedTeamwork: She and Alaric don't often see eye to eye in financial matters, but manage to work together well enough to find a middle ground in their decisions, which is precisely what Alysanne hopes for when she asks them to cooperate.

* FaceYourFears: Although he is frightened of dragons, he always readily agrees to visit the Dragonpit since he knows dragons are the symbol and source of the Targaryens' power and he will have to ride Caraxes sooner or later.

[[/folder]]

* UriahGambit: He uses a combination of threats and bribery to send a captured Dornishman, to whom he previously promised a pardon, on a clearly suicidal mission, [[spoiler:all for a chance to distract Rogar from Borys Baratheon and kill the latter by himself]].

* UnderageCasting: InUniverse. He is a teenage boy playing twenty-six-year-old {{Expy}} of Jaehaerys in ''The Royal Penance''. Since the king in the play gets an early PlotTriggeringDeath, Myribeth deliberately gave the part to Brennan; it's his first speaking role.

* EvilUncle: When Tommen doesn't want to send his son to King's Landing with only Lymold for company, Tyler thinks that his brother suspect this trope to be in play. After thinking it over, Tommen decides to keep Lymold away from his son, just to be sure.

* ImpliedLoveInterest: Alarra thinks he is in a relationship with Myribeth – she is strangely mild towards him (and since he is young, handsome, and healthy, it can't be out of pity like in Ellara's case or out of respect for old age and experience like in Garris's case), and he never shows any interest in his fangirls.

* TheQuietOne: He is strangely reclusive and is rarely seen anywhere except the stage and the Sunflowers' cart.

[[folder:Lord Darklyn]]

!! Grand Maester Elysar

!!

Tommen's wife.

Tommen's bastard brother.

* LikeFatherUnlikeSon: Courageous and decisive, he is the opposite of his nervous, fearful and quiet father.

* NiceCharacterMeanActor: Downplayed. She plays a gentle virtous queen but is quite an unpleasant person offstage. However, a lot of it comes from the strain she has to bear rather than genuine nastiness.
