Liana Hightower

Lady Liana Tyrell, also known as Liana Hightower, is the widow of Lord Gareth Tyrell and the mother of Leona Tyrell and Margaret Tyrell, her only two remaining children of four.

Appearance and Character
Lady Liana is in her late fifties. Though her hair has gone silver, her blue eyes are still sharp and clear. She typically dresses in neutral colors, white or grey, and wears a small seven-pointed star on a silver chain.

Liana plays the innocent elderly grandmother well. In fair weather, she and her ladies can often be found embroidering outside. But she has ears in every part of Highgarden, and most of the higher-ranking servants are loyal to her. Very little happens in the Tyrell seat that Lady Liana does not know of.

History
Liana Hightower was betrothed to Gareth Tyrell at the age of sixteen, and married him four years later. Within a year, she bore him an heir, Luthor Tyrell, and twins Lyonel and Leona six years later.

When her goodfather Lord Theo Tyrell passed in 379 AC, Liana shared the burden of ruling the Reach with her husband. Often they spent hours in their chambers poring over letters and records, sometimes with young Luthor seated on their knees to learn his future duties.

The betrothal of her daughter Leona to Prince Maekar of Summerhall was once of Lady Liana's crowning victories. She dotes on her grandchildren Rhaena and Gael, as well as Luthor's only child Margaery, and has ambitious plans in mind for them.
