Alys Tullly

Alys Rivers is the third child of Lord Brandon Tully and his mistress, Sanelle Bracken. A quiet and demure child, Alys was never a favourite at court, and was the only of Brandon's bastards to return to Riverrun before the Scarlet Winter.

Appearance
Alys is pretty, with jet black hair, and a kind face. Her lips are a soft pink, which usually carry a smile upon them. She is slender, tall, and carries herself with a small amount of grace befitting her station.

History
Alys was born in the year 386 AC, and was a quick child, fair and strong. Though only five when the War of the Three Thieves broke out, she was a quick learner, and had already come to read, and studied frequently in Valyrian. Unlike her elder siblings, she showed little interest in the happenings of her family, and wished to study the higher arts, much like the Maesters of the Citadel did.

Alys went to King's Landing at the behest of her father in 390 AC, and returned to Riverrun four years later. She found an impromptu mother in Bethany Blackwood, and a kind sister in Berena Tully. Though their parentage set them apart, they were still blood.

She has remained at Riverrun ever since, and did not weep for her father's death in 406 AC.

The Taming of the Lady
Alys was present during the events of the Taming of the Lady. Though overshadowed by other ladies such as Elinor Vance, Alys expressed worry about Landon's intentions and his ability to rule once he had come to Riverrun.

Berena thought of Alys as smart to keep herself far away from the happenings of the court.
