Sarella Farwynd

Sarella Farwynd is the wife of Lord Jasper Farwynd of the Lonely Light. She descends from a cadet branch of House Sparr, and like her husband she was bastard-born.

Appearance and Character
Lady Sarella is a composed and elegant woman in her forties. She has an air of calm intelligence and the unfussy manner of an Ironborn woman.

History
Sarella Pyke was raised on Great Wyk. Her family connections placed her above the smallfolk but her bastardy and distant relation to the premier branch of House Sparr made for a relatively humble lifestyle. Her keen mind and beauty marked her out as a figure of note but her background meant she was not a particularly desirable marriage prospect. Her relationship with Jasper Farwynd, the legitimised bastard of the Lonely Light, was a love match rather than a political calculation as neither were considered to be highly eligible.

Ensconced at the Lonely Light Sarella demonstrated an aptitude for the running of the modest Farwynd estate. Her husband being more adept at diplomacy and scholarly pursuits, she became the primary administrator of the House's lands. The smallfolk of the Lonely Light and adjoining islands hold Lord Jasper in great respect, but they genuinely admire Lady Sarella for her effective and just governance.

Sarella and Jasper had several children who died in infancy and only one who lived for more than a few years. Balon was a strong child but impetuous where his parent were measured and passionate where his parents were thoughtful. His enthusiasm and idealism led to his death fighting for the rebel Loren Greyjoy, which devastated his parents. After this Lord Jasper spent even more time away from his holdfast than before and the couple grew more remote from one another. Sarella continues to govern with wisdom and a keen sense of the Old Way.
