Arys Florent

Arys Florent is the firstborn son of Alesander Florent and Jeyne Tyrell and heir to Brightwater Keep. Arys was raised in Brightwater Keep up until he became old enough to squire for Ryam Redwyne. Now a knight, Arys takes up any opportunity he can find to prove his martial prowess.

Appearance and Character
Arys does not look like a traditional Florent, lacking the auburn hair and boney structure. However, he does share the same green eyes as his father and uncle, which peer through light brown locks of hair, long enough that it flows down behind his ears. Shorter than his father, but not nearly as slim, Arys is either seen with a suit of plate armour at a tournament, or in a white tunic with a large embroidered fox's head in the center, surrounded by azure flowers, stretching from chest to stomach.

Above all, Arys values a man's ability with a sword or army, lance or fleet. Considering war the best measurement for a man's true value, he is set to prove his own worth. Quick to jump into a fight he believes worthy of his involvement. Arys will stand up for his kin and honour alike, though not likely fight for someone he does not know, or does not care for.

History
The heir of Brightwater Keep was always considered a bold and sometimes foolish child, putting himself at risk more often than not, often costing him a scrape or a bruise, Arys was always willing to jump head-first into any adventure he could come up with in his young mind, never considering the consequences. His father and mother tried many things to keep him safe from himself, by having him be followed by guards everywhere he walked, to locking him in a room with the Maester when he was expected to be learning, yet one way or another, whether it was a question of minutes or days, Arys would find a way to escape.

While his ingenuity in slinking away from his escort was admirable, his dedication to his studies was less so. Always managing to find yet another distraction or excuse, Arys did his best to avoid sitting in a room and simply learning the histories of houses he thought he would never meet.
