History
Augusta was born the firstborn child of Lord Mallister and Lady Mallister in 415 AC. When she was still a baby, a tragedy befell her house when a large fire, started by unknown reasons, took over the Booming Tower during a festivity happening there, which led to the death of several dozen people, including her uncle Lord Jonos Mallister and his wife and sons. This episode was later known as the Tragedy of the Booming Tower. This made her father, Harren Mallister the new Lord of Seagard. As a child, she was tutored by Maester Ambrose, learning how to read and write, the history of the Great Houses of Westeros and of the proud, ancient House Mallister, as well as the etiquette and habits of true fair lady. She, however, never bothered to actually learn much about etiquette, weaving or good manners, as she would often escape her lessons to venture into the woods or the docks, playing with the common children. She always had a fascination and a natural talent for fighting as well, learning positions and footwork from merely watching the knights fight at the yard of the castle. She had the equivalent of a knight's training by a master-at-arms, Ser Didymus.

Augusta was always a rebellious youth – she would brawl and duel in the courtyard, ride alone into the forest, finding new ways to raise her father’s ire. Augusta was apalled by the idea of becoming a lord's wife. She developed a sharp wit and is fond of humor, constantly making jokes and ironic remarks. She had no problem with holding her own against other boys, both in a verbal battle and in a physical fight. She would often duel young squires and knights, both to improve her skills and to prove herself (and take banter upon them). Lady Eleanor would time and time again try to find her a bretrothal for her, but she would manage to escape her pretenders and send them back away. With his daughter's preference for the martial instead of the marital, Lord Harren eventually started to get her familiarized with naval affairs, such as sailing, naval construction, localization through the stars and naval warfare. He hoped to make her an admiral of the Mallister fleet one day. When she turned 16 in 431 AC, she gained permission and started leading trade missions and escorts to several ports, such as Lannisport, Fair Isle, Ten Towers, the Arbor and Oldtown. Her respect amongst the seaman grew fast, as she would often partake in drinking and playing games with her crew, making good friends of them. She convinced her father to give her permission to take a small fleet of 3 ships to hunt down some Ironborn bandit raiders who had banded together with some Lyseni pirates and were harassing the coastal villages of the Cape of Eagles. While she was away, her two younger brothers contracted and, several weeks of agony and failed treatment later, died of the bloody flux sickness in 432 AC. Her mother, after the death of her two sons, became deeply depressed and despaired, eventually taking her own life by jumping off a cliff at the Cape of Eagles. When Augusta returned home, she was desolated by this news. (WIP)
