Arianne Connington

Arianne Connington is Ser Criston Connington’s only living child and Lord Rodrik Connington’s favoured niece. She was Lord Matthos Tyrell’s betrothed until he failed to show to for their marriage.

Appearance and Character
Arianne has long, red hair, light blue eyes, high cheekbones, full lips, and a prominent chin. She has an exquisitely lissome figure.

She has her mother’s fiery spirit and her father’s calculated caution, taking into consideration the risks of her passions’ whims before embracing them. Never one to sit for very long, she often occupies her time with some sort of adventure or activity.

History
Arianne was born in 395 AC as Ser Criston Connington and Jeyne Swann’s second but only living child. She was loud as a babe, crying and screaming every waking hour of the day.

Arianne‘s childhood energy followed her into adolescence. She was always moving, socializing, or performing some sort of activity. Her primary mentor was her uncle, Rodrik, who had both the desire and patience needed to teach her. She was a grateful and diligent student, and the two grew very close as a result.

Thanks to her uncle, Arianne was able to fulfill her lifelong fantasy of becoming a lady-in-waiting at Highgarden. She served under Lady Leona Tyrell for seven years, enjoying almost every moment at the castle of her dreams.

During her stay at Highgarden, Arianne met Ser Matthos Tyrell, her future betrothed. For the first three years they knew each other, they exchanged interested glances and fleeting flirtations; but because Matthos was always away at Brightwater keep or King’s Landing, the tension between them failed naturally to progress. It was during one of his longer stays a year later that Arianne made her move, pulling him into a blooming cherry orchard while on a deceptively innocent sunset walk.

Arianne and Matthos were officially betrothed in 418 AC at the end of the 3rd moon, three years after their largely secret romance had begun.
