Tarsya Adeyon

"'This is the saddest day of my life.... the day I have to say goodbye to you my dearest companion... my friend. Rest, rest my little girl...' - Tarsya's last words to her dying dragon, Vidgar"Tarsya Adeyon was the wife of Gaen Zyran and thus the modern ancestor of all members of the Zyran House alive. She was a member of the House Adeyon, which much as the Velaryons were not among the original 40 dragonlord houses but had become a dragonrider house due to marriages within those houses, as their members carried now the blood that allowed them bonding with dragons. She survived the doom of Valyria when she was with her husband, Gaen and her children in Lys. Only his brother Rhaellor Adeyon, survived the doom being her and him the only survivors of the Adeyon House at the time. His brother rode the dragon Ebogue, the largest and oldest of the Adeyon dragons, which was slain just as Vidgar was in the ensuing revolts of Lys.

Vidgar was the dragon of Tarsya, who had become a dragon rider when an egg was put on her crib at 4 months old. Vidgar had laid several clutches of eggs, two in Valyria and one in Lys. From those in Valyria several dragons were born but they all were killed alongside their riders in the fall. Thus, the only surviving clutch of eggs was that of Lys but they never hatched for unknown reasons and were preserved as relics by the Zyran Family.

Description
Tarsya was a woman of gentle nature, describe to be a gentle soul with no interest in politics. She however was an expert in taiming dragons and understanding them and helped other dragonriders in Valyria to bond with their inherite family dragons. In her youth she liked to travel far and wide and had an adventurous nature, curious about the world around her. This made her fall in love with her husband Gaen as both were similar in this regard.

After her marriage, she didnt travel as much with Vidgar but took her children often in small flights on top of her dragon to get them used to fly on top of one. Sadly, none of the eggs placed in their sons craddle hatched. However, their sons had some sort of affinity with dragons, and Tarsya hoped that they will bond with either Vidgar, Hebrilax or another family dragon later on in their lifes as it was common among many dragonriders. This however never happened as the doom of Valyria took place and most of the family was in Lys, where their dragons were killed.

On her later days, specially after the doom of Valyria, she became more depressed and melancholic. The several sieges and attacks of the Lyseni citizens to dragonlords made her even more concern and paranoid. It was however when Vidgar died in one of those attacks that Tarsya became depressed and severely affected. For over a decade she did not leave her room that much except for walking in the gardens of their household or contemplate Helibrax thinking on the old days. She forgot much of her obligations and spent her time with her twin daughters Salaena and Halaena. It was known that she also spent hours crying, and eventually died of melancholy a decade after the death of Vidgar, at the age of 77.

She is described physically as tall with the white hair of the Valyrian race. However, only dragonlords had purple eyes and her family had traditionally blue eyes, which were a sign of their status. However, as they had mixed with dragonriding families the purple eyes became more prevalent. Tarsya had one blue eye and one purple eye.

Origins
Tarsya was born in the household of a noble Valyrian house of non-dragon riders. However, the family grew in importance and wealth and was allowed to intermarry into the 40 dragonrider families. This allowed the blood of dragonriders to passed into the family, but they did not have access to dragon eggs until the great-granmother of Tarsya, Maelya Belaerys, one of the youngest daughters of one of the top ten dragonrider families, married within the Adeyons and thus was allowed to give a dragon egg to her sons (as she herself was a dragonrider). Allowing for the family to get access to several dragons and thus have ownership over their clutch of eggs. However, this just lasted for three generations and Vidgar was among the last dragons to be born in the Adeyon household when Tarsya was born.

It is said that during much of it's infancy, Tarsya was very fond of her dragon and they did not separate for long. When Vidgar was able to fly and support the weight of Tarsya, they began to fly far away into the Valyrian empire and beyond. Specially in her late teens she travelled as far as Lys in the West, to Asshai in the east and to the northern isles but she never flew south scared of the tales coming over from Sothoryos.

Right after the Doom of Valyria
Tarsya arrived in the city on top of Vidgar and lived over a year in the mansion-castle of House Zyran in the island. Gaen was sent to help the local governor of Lys and to settle a trade deal in hopes of staying a period of three years before returning to Valyria. However, the Doom took place 1 year after they arrived in Lys and thus most of the city rebelled, killing many dragonlords. The Zyran locked themselves in their mansion-castle over an island nearby the shores and the dragons stood guard in the bridge that connected the mansion to the island.

Two attempts were made to enter the house and kill both dragons and their lords but they failed. Tarsya was in high stress at the time as well as the entire family. During the assault, the dragons presented a fierce resistant, burning many alive. They were assisted by other dragonlord survivors but as their dragons were killed, or the riders were killed, this assistance vained and thus a massive amount of armed men and ships laid siege to the mansion and finally attacked them successfully. Vidgar was killed in the proccess, protecting the family and burning most of the ships and Hebrilax was seriously injured, unable to fly again. The attack was stopped and the citizens surrender on any attempt, knowing they were no threat having lost one dragon and have another one injured. Some tried to enter the house at times but they all ended burned or eaten by Hebrilax who grew fearfull of those who were not of the Zyran blood.

Family
She was the mother of several children with Gaen Zyran. Most notably the son Vaegon Zyran, Maekar Zyran, Salaena Zyran, Halaena Zyran and Miella Zyran
