Lana Westerling

Lana is the only child of Lord Malcolm Westerling and his lady consort, Cerissa Banefort. Her half brother is Tion Hill.

Appearance and Character
Few would describe the heir of the Crag as a beautiful woman, but neither is she displeasing to the eye. Only after a one on one exchange with Lana do most notice her quiet charm, and subtle good looks.

She has soft features: a symmetrical face, small nose, and full lips. She is slightly taller than average and slender, and dresses to her status. She has a serious but courtly demeanor. Her hair is a dark, dirty blonde, and her eyes her father's blue.

Lana is a bright, pragmatic girl. She is intelligent, studious, and curious about everything around her. She is a quick learner, and is both perceptive and observant. She has an excellent memory.

Lana has a strained relationship with her father due to his neglect, his mistreatment of her mother, and his obvious favoritism towards her half-brother, Tion Hill. She has been aware for sometime about her father's intent to legitimize her him.

History
Lana was born in 387 and is the only child her mother was able to carry to full term. While in many families, her birth might have been seen as cause for celebration, her mother bled to death, and her father seemed unaffected by either event.

Her childhood was unremarkable in that she received a traditional education. Her father paid little attention to her so long as she stayed out of trouble and did as she was told by her teachers, but she was never an unruly child. Lana was curious and lonely, and to fill the void of her mother and siblings, she took to study. Were she born a boy, she might have done well as a maester.

As an adult, Lana is perceptive and pragmatic. She is present at court and keeps herself aware of the ongoings of the kingdom despite her father's attempts to keep her in the dark. And despite her father's obvious love for half-brother, she does not seek to harm him--only to keep him from being given what is hers.
