Jeyne Thorne

Jeyne Thorne is the sister of Sarya Thorne and a dragonmaid to the Queen Dowager Rhaenyra Targaryen. As the second child and younger sister, Jeyne has always striven towards a balance between elegance and brutality.

Appearance & Character
Jeyne Thorne might be described as a beauty by some, but she is hardly classic. With dark eyes almost black, Jeyne cuts an impressive figure, standing just short of the woman she serves. With large eyes parted too-wide, her dark brows manage an intimidating look. Her hair is black as tar, long and winding, straightened perfectly.

The woman of House Thorne does not lack for style. Enjoying vibrant reds and deep blacks, lace that accentuates her long stride and grace, her position as a dragonmaid has afforded her the wealth to maintain – and keep up – with the styles of the realm.

Youth
Jeyne Thorne was born in 421 AC, the second eldest of three surviving children born in Thorne Keep. Between her and her elder sister, Sarya, the two aspired for much and more. Jeyne was a precocious child, tending towards books and poetry as young women are oft to do. Their father, want for an heir of male blood, raised her as he would a son, and for all the jealousy Jeyne had acquired over the years, she spent it all desiring simplicity.

Where Sarya would practice in the light, Jeyne would do so in the dark.

They were a martial family, it need be said - even for it's women. Where her mother would protest, father would be quick to talk her down. Jeyne learned her way about daggers, about quiet feet when she'd sneak out of Thorne Keep in her youth.

But the most important thing she learned was the influence her voice commanded, and the ability her body and person had been afforded.

By the time she was ten and three, Jeyne had taken a vested interest in traveling to the capital. Though from a small house, Jeyne's words of manipulation and sweet-honeyed words bought her many a friend within the city, despite her youth.

Soon, she was exchanging letters with the Queen Rhaenyra herself.

Within a month, she had requested a place as a lady-in-waiting at her side.

Adulthood
It was not until the age of seventeen that she'd see her wish fulfilled. The youngest, and newest of the dragon maids joined Queen Rhaenyra's retinue at Oldtown, where the second eldest child of Lord Thorne swore herself to Rhaenyra's service.

438 AC
Joined Queen Rhaenyra in Oldtown for the wedding of Naerys Targaryen and Arthur Hightower. Swore her service to the Queen.

439 AC
Remained in the capital with the other Dragon Maids while her Queen was fighting the war up north. After the announcement of King Aegon's death, Jeyne joined the Dragon Maids in securing and protecting Prince Viserys until the Queen's return.

Jeyne briefly spoke to Aerion Targaryen during the fourth moon. Since then, she has remained within the city, awaiting the orders of Her Grace.
