Ashara Dayne

Ashara Dayne is the eldest daughter of Lord Ulrick VI Dayne and Lady Rhaella Velaryon of Starfall. At current, she is unwed and resides at Starfall, holding notable position within her Lord Brother's Household.

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 possesses eyes of blue-violet and shoulder-length white-blonde hair, much like her twin brother's in shade. 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.

393-407 A.C. Life at Starfall
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.

407 A.C. The Tourney of Harrenhal
For the first time in her life, Ashara stepped outside of the boundaries of Dorne. It was a fascinating experience, and, most importantly for her, she was reunited with her twin brother, albeit for a brief period of time.

The pomp and glamour of the Tourney ensnared her eye and kept her busy with all the sights that were available for her to take in.

407-418 A.C. Starfall Once More
Since the Tourney, Ashara has spent the vast majority of her time at Starfall and within Dorne. While after her brother wed, her prospect of one day inheriting slowly diminished, she was not left out in the metaphorical cold. As her brother had what could only be described as a 'wild side' and made rash decisions to travel much of Westeros and even part of Essos with little regard for his responsibilities and title, their Mother, the Lady Rhaella, had ensured Ashara was prepared to inherit, in the situation of which her brother did not return.

Alas, with time, Aemon did return, and with his Wife's belly thoroughly swollen. In the coming years, her brother's wife would come to prove herself quite fertile, providing him with a daughter and two sons, quite certainly securing the succession. Yet, quite how Ashara had always wanted it to be, her brother raised her up and made her one of his most trusted advisors, a position she still holds to this day.
