Tysane Lannister

Tysane Lannister is the Lady of Casterly Rock and the Warden of the West. The second child and final daughter if Lord Tybolt and his wife, Tya Lannister, Tysane came to her power through a tumultuous power struggle during the Bleeding, and covets the title, ‘Shield of Lannisport.’

Appearance
A woman decorated in lavish gold, adorned by earrings of silver and ornaments the color of fire, Tysane Lannister wears her namesake well. Wealth and extravagance weep from her, cascading her in a never-ending array of beauty that assails her from head to toe.

Her very presence commands the room. The tiring effort she places into her appearance seems to make her shine. From occasion to occasion, she wears silks of dark violet, and yellow, and white, when it’s best suited - but most often, she’s seen wearing black.

Tysane stands just short of six feet, and wears striking hips; figure as full as her pride. Her skin is smooth, her lips tightly pressed, eyes dark green, and narrow. Her face is framed by curling locks of gold - the very same as her mother, smooth, and flattering.

Backstory
Born in 412 AC, the youngest daughter of Lord Tybolt and his wife, Tya Lannister, Lady Tysane was given to a life of luxury and wealth from a young age. A privileged young girl, by all standards, Tysane was afforded the best tudors, from Lys and Volantis, and beyond - raised to be the visage of perfection, literate and strong of will, just like her mother and father.

But she was no raised to become the woman she would inevitably be forced to become. The young woman was prone to mood swings, and from the moment she could speak displayed a certain fierceness not evident in the other two living children of Lord Tybolt. She saw the world, by her mother’s own words - as black and white. Issues were of no matter to her. There was right and wrong, and no in between.

She was eight years old when her great grandfather died. The grizzled lion of Casterly Rock had cultivated a strong reputation, and through his son, his grandson inherited. Lord Tybolt had risen to become heir in 418 AC after the death of Lord Tytos, Loreon’s first son, and was a strong man for his position. Tysane idolized him greatly, but none more than her lady mother, Tya.

The third child and second daughter of the pair was unlikely to be favorited, and Tysane knew it well; she would oft make war with her brother and sister, and would sometimes even become violent, tears running down her cheeks as she screamed and shouted.

She was dispassionate, or so it seemed, incapable of the sort of empathy cultivated in others. Her ambition was first and foremost, and everything else was behind that. She spent some time in Lannisport with the House of Lannister there, and from time to time would travel the Westerlands with her father. She became known as the Black Cat of the Rock, and enjoyed the title for a time, especially as she came into her early teenage years.
