Lenore Blackwood

'''Lenore Blackwood was one of the most controversial figures of Aenar I’s court in King’s Landing. Born to Lord Blackwood and his wife in 339 A.C., the lovely Lenore would go on to capture the heart of the delicate Prince Aenys. After their marriage she did much to advance and secure her husband’s position. Though as clever as she was beautiful, the young Lenore was a mercurial courtesan whose desires were as wanton as the woman was oft portrayed in her later life.

Lenore was a force of nature, but her machinations often put her in opposition to the king’s wife, Queen Patrice, and Aenys’ own brother, Prince Viserys. Eventually her reach went beyond her grasp, and Lenore found herself stripped of all she held dear. When left bereft of her marriage, she was tried and executed by the King’s command.

Appearance and Character
Lenore was a dark beauty, appropriate for one that so harkens to the days of the First Men. Her hair was dark, near black complemented by sumptuous, earthy brown eyes. At court she was often displayed in an array of contrasting colors. Her sense of style was so infectious that many of the other ladies often emulated her from White Harbor to Oldtown.

Many, many things could be said about Lenore Blackwood and her image. She was willful, tempestuous, mercurial, clever and had more than a flair for the dramatic. Many attributes the latter to her inevitable fall. For all her subtleties, Lenore never could quite turn down the grand gesture. An odd flamboyance, and pushing of the boundaries that allowed her rivals to best her in the end.
