Ashara Dayne

Ashara Dayne is the eldest daughter of Lord Ulrick III Dayne and Rhaella Velaryon, as well as the younger twin of Lord Aemon Dayne.

Appearance and Character
Ashara is often described as striking in appearance and regal in demeanor. She is as beautiful as she is haughty, and has trouble hiding her emotions when it comes to personal relationships. She is capable of great kindness, but will not think twice to punish someone who's wronged her. Those on her good side will know it, and those who've fallen out of her good graces will feel it.

Ashara has violet eyes and long ash brown hair that she keeps down or in a loose braid. She prides herself on her appearance and is known to spend frivolously on lavish clothing and on rich perfumes. She is fond of jewelry, and it is said that many of the items in her collection were gifts from long forgotten suitors.

In the way of looks, she takes after her mother; in temperament, she is as hot as the Dornish sun.

History
Unlike her older brother, Ashara was raised in Starfall where she received an education befitting a Dornish spare and a lady of the Seven Kingdoms. The two were close as children and she was heartbroken when he left at eight for Driftmark. Only his promise to remain in touch placated her.

Life without Aemon equated to a simple and ordinary noble youth. She often traveled with her father when he permitted it, wrote her brother Aemon regularly, and visited him in King's Landing when the opportunity arose. Her priority was her education, which was reflected in the hours spent daily in study and practice.

She occasionally entertained suitors, of course; or rather, allowed them to entertain her in some fruitless quest to win her favor. Needless to say, they failed to hold her interest for long, and suggestions from advisers to marry were met with total indifference and denial. She enjoyed the company of her friends far more, and she found young men boring and predictable.

She is young with great potential, but shines when it comes to matters of the court. Her charisma is her greatest strength and is followed closely by her talents in intrigue and stealth.

Her hope is to advise her brother and aid him in furthering their house.

Recent Events
Ashara attended the Tourney of Harrenhal and only recently returned to Starfall. She is unaware that her brother is married.
