Eliane Martell

Eliane Martell was renowned foremost for her beauty, and was the head of House Nymeros Martell. As such, she styled herself as the Princess of Dorne and bore the title of the Lady of Sunspear.

She was the third-born daughter of Princess Frynne Martell and her husband, Prince Consort Ryon Allyrion. Eliane came into her rule following the untimely death of her sister, Meria Martell in 411 A.C., when she attempted a second time to tame the dragon Sunburst.

Appearance and Character
Eliane was hailed as a beauty from the moment of her birth, bearing both the classic looks of her Rhoynish ancestors coupled with striking features inherited from her maternal grandmother. An oval face boasts high cheekbones kissed by a rose-petal blush while eyes like the shiny darkness found upon a beetle's wing are surrounded by a bevy of thick, curly lashes and deep-set within that smooth, olive-skinned countenance. Soft sable curls - darker still than a starless night - crown her head, framing comely features like an atramentous halo.

It was pride that kept her spine erect and her chin held aloft while the woman stood tall, long-legged and lean. Full lips tinted with rouge held hints of secrets she’ll never tell behind well-guarded half-smiles that widened only at the sight of those who might help to further her ambitions.

History
Eliane Martell is the fourth child of Princess Frynne Martell and Prince Consort Ryon Allyrion, and the third daughter born of the match. She was born late in the fourth moon of the year 392 A.C. in the Water Gardens of Dorne, where her mother also brought the rest of her siblings crying and screaming into the world.

Eliane, along with her brothers and sisters, was afforded the very best education possible, with tutors from Oldtown, the Free Cities, and even the shadows of Asshai. A prepossessing child, however, as her mother made clear over the course of her formative years, had more need of things that couldn't be found in books. Naturally charismatic, Eliane made a quick study of the social graces necessary to navigate the political waters at court in Dorne and abroad.

It is said that only a Dornishman can ever truly know Dorne. The southernmost of the Seven Kingdoms is also the most inhospitable and the strangest, perhaps, to those men raised north of the Red Mountains, for Dorne is different, in more ways that can be told.
