Aurelia Waters

Aurelia Waters is one of the Dragonmaids, the women who serve as Princess Rhaenys' companions and who train with her.

Appearance and character
Aurelia's appearance could be described as average. She's not particularly tall nor short, and while she's more muscular than most women she's not as brawny as a man. Her eyes are brown, like most people's, and had she not cut it short her black hair would not stand out in a crowd.

Even though she's proud and prone to anger when someone doubts her skill due to her being a woman, Aurelia is usually nice towards strangers and friends alike. She is eager to prove herself to others, specially to the princess and to her sworn sisters.

Bastard child
Aurelia was born in the Kingswood, during the Hammer Uprising. Due to her mother's claims that her father was Ser Harlan Stokeworth and Aurelia's resemblance to her alleged father, she was allowed to grow up in Stokeworth as long as her mother and herself served the house.

A different path
Not happy with being just a serving girl, Aurelia wanted to become more. And, after a few years trying to find her place, she found it in the training yard. With patience and persistance, and with the invaluable help of Stokeworth's master at arms, she managed to become an able fighter, even if no boy around her age wanted to train with her.

Dragonstone
Rumors of the Dragonmaids eventually reached Stokeworth, and wanting to meet more people like her Aurelia left her home wanting to become one of the princess' sworn blades. Once in Dragonstone, she was asked to prove her worth by fighting one of the knights there in a duel and defeating him, which she was able to do.

Recent Events
Aurelia was accepted as one of the princess' Dragonmaids. Since then she has trained with the princess and her fellow shieldmaidens, and she intends on joining the upcoming tournament to test her skill against the rst of the realm.
