Alysanne Stark

Lady Alysanne Stark is the disputed lady of the Dreadfort. She is Lord Torrhen Stark and Lady Dawn Reed’s eldest daughter and their next eldest child after Lord Cregard Stark.

Appearance and Character
Alysanne has brown hair, a square-shaped face, thick eyebrows, grey-blue eyes, full lips, and a slender physique. She wears gowns from both the Dreadfort and Greywater Watch, and maintains to the best of her ability a proper lady’s appearance.

When interacting with others, she is charming and polite. She was riased by her father to be a charismatic negotiator who would one day facilitate the ambitions of a future husband. Following the deaths of her kin and the usurpation of her titles, she now employs these skills to her own benefit.

Infancy
Lord Torrhen Stark and Lady Dawn Reed brought Alysanne into the world midway through the 3rd Moon of 391 AC. From her first breath, she was calm and well behaved. She slept peacefully, rarely burst into a fit, and laughed more than she cried. As a newborn, she was the delight of the otherwise maliced Starks of the Dreadfort.

Childhood
With two elder brothers and a younger one on her heels, she was groomed by her parents for marriage and diplomacy. Unlike her next eldest sibling, Cregard, she complied with her predetermined fate, committing fully to her prescribed educational regimen. She stayed out of trouble, remained honest with her parents, and was often the ally of her eldest brother, Eddard, when trying to mediate between Cregard and Torrhen. The unsung hero of her family, she rarely took credit for keeping the peace, settling instead for the personal satisfaction of her efforts.

Her penchant for honesty fostered in her a vigilance against deception and a desire to discover the truth. She often spied on the handmaidens and ladies-in-waiting at the Dreadfort, if only to know their honest opinions and beliefs. For her inner circle of friends, she chose only the most blunt or transparent of girls, and was decisive in ousting those who crossed her.
