Rhaena Martell

Appearance and Character
The younger of the Martell twins, Rhaena was blessed with her father's violet eyes. On her mother's side, she inherited the skin and hair color that marked her out as a member of House Martell. She also has a surprisingly vicious temper that's quick to come to the surface, particularly where her family is concerned, a gift from her father's side of the family. Another aspect of her personality is that she's brash and reckless, again, when it comes to her family, who she'd die for.

History
The oldest daughter, second and last child of Eliane Martell and Laenor Targaryen, she barely had a chance to know either of her parents, since her mother died in childbirth, and her father followed Eliane to the grave less than a year later. Both her and her twin brother Trystane were left to the care of their extended family, who taught them how the basics of how to effectively handle power and weaponry both when they both were old enough to appreciate the lessons they were being taught. Moreso than her brother, she wished to emulate the legend that was the Red Viper and thus spent a large amount of her time in the training yards, practicing with the spear. Trystane was one of her many victims, often ending up on the ground at the end of her spear after she beat him rather soundly in the yard during their spars. Rhaena always helped him back to his feet, though.

During her adolescence, she would meet her future husband Trebor after he visited Sunspear with his father and twin brother Tremond. As well as share a bed with her cousin Aerion, keeping the one-night affair a secret from her brother. She could almost always be seen in his company at various points of the day, and according to rumors having been floating around Sunspear at that time, that they were lusting after each other and had taken to each other's bed more than once. As a consequence of this, Trebor's father began pushing for them to marry, having noticed the way his son and Princess Rhaena were mooning over each other. Her brother put things off for a time, but eventually caved under a steady assault from his sister, as well as Trebor and his father, and allowed them to marry when they were 19.

Rhaena found herself with child the year after, which was a blessing, since her child would be the heir to Sunspear until her brother had one of his own. Little Arianne was born in the 10th moon of 333 AC, becoming the heiress to Sunspear and the future Princess of Dorne, much to the delight of her parents and uncle. She would be left behind starting the following year in the care of loyal servants when the War of Stone and Sky broke out, Rhaena marching out alongside her brother at the head of the levies that the Martells had raised, her husband with his brother and the Uller forces. The war was bloody, with the younger Martell sibling often in the thick of it, wielding her spear to great effect whenever she had the space to do so.

The Siege of the Tor was where Rhaena would meet Lysander Allyrion, the forces sworn to his House having attached themselves to House Martell, alongside the forces of almost half a dozen other Dornish houses. She spent some time in his tent, since they were at war, and you never knew if you would survive one day, only to be slain in an accident or a minor skirmish the next. They eventually shared a bed together, Rhaena finding herself with child two moons later and deciding to keep it a secret from her family as long as she possibly could do so. She would get found out when she started to show, her brother sending her back to Sunspear to wait out her pregnancy, giving birth to three children shortly before the war ended, two girls and a boy. Before she was sent back, though, she took part in the retaking of Planky Town, managing it with some difficulty and putting the routed worshippers of the Red God to the sword.

After the war, her husband confronted her about the bastards she'd borne to Lysander Allyrion after finding out about Rhaena's infidelity from one of the servants. The screaming match that followed could have been the stuff of legends, but for the
