Nysterica Blackmont

Lady Nysterica Blackmont is the head of House Blackmont and the Lady of Blackmont. She is the fifth child and youngest daughter of Lord Qoren Blackmont and Lady Cassana Blackmont.

Appearance and Character
Standing at five feet and six inches, Nysterica is a "Sandy" Dornish woman, pertaining to her sun-burned brown skin and lithe physique of which she inherited from her mother more so than her "Stony" father. A scar is engraved upon her right cheek, stemming from an incident in her childhood kept from the masses and inviting much speculation. Piercing, dark brown eyes and braided black hair trimmed with gold compose her face and head. Nysterica is adorned with vulture feathers, in homage to House Blackmont's sigil, and a piece of armor spanning her chest and right shoulder, once belonging to her deceased eldest brother.

Despite her distressing childhood, Nysterica is a flirtatious and charismatic woman with an incessant need for human connection more so than anything else due to her lack of family. A regular at whorehouses across the Seven Kingdoms, she craves a partner she can call her own, but is hesitant to settle down.

Unconcerned with ladyship and court as a child, Nysterica received an education from Maester Ulwyk and covets the sustained procedure and pursuit of scholarship.

As the Lady of Blackmont, Nysterica inspires adoration in her people, placing their requirements as the utmost priority. She also has a comprehension of the necessity for alliances and is a people-pleaser, viewing people and connections to them as the greatest asset in prevalence and striving to satisfy all parties. Visiting lords and ladies can expect the highest quality of service at Blackmont under her authority.

Early life
Nysterica was born at Blackmont as the third daughter of Lord Qoren Blackmont and Lady Cassana Blackmont. The unlikeliest child to ascend to the head of her house, she spent her days in education with Maester Ulwyk to become a learned woman before a tragic chain of incidents occurred towards the culmination of her childhood, leaving her as the last surviving member of her father's line.

From the death of her eldest brother in 404 AC, House Blackmont was reputed for losing its offspring in gruesome and tragic circumstances as the death of a Blackmont child became an annual occurrence.

In an attempt to finally conquer the supposed curse, Lord Blackmont's faith in the Seven gods was amplified, impelling him to journey to Andalos along with his wife in 408 AC, leaving his last surviving child, Nysterica, at Blackmont. As per the catastrophic luck of House Blackmont, Lady Blackmont failed to survive the voyage. However, her husband returned, albeit a severely damaged and traumatized man, influencing his capability for rational thought.

Upon his return to Blackmont, Lord Blackmont spoke of a mission the gods had thrust upon him in exchange for his life: to bring the gods into the mortal world in the form of his own children. Lacking rationale, Lord Blackmont made a sexual attempt on his last remaining daughter which grew increasingly aggressive with her resistance. The altercation ended with a scar across Nysterica's cheek and a laceration across Lord Blackmont's throat.

With the death of her father and no heirs except herself, Nysterica ascended to the head of House Blackmont at the age of sixteen with her first act as the Lady of Blackmont being to shroud her father's deeds and to pass off his death as a drowning during his voyage to Andalos. His corpse was delivered to the ocean to join his wife.
