Rhea Flowers

in 392 A.C. Rhea Hightower was born to Lord Lucifer Hightower and his wife Lady Lynora Lannister. She is sister of the seated Lord Leyton Hightower.

She is the granddaughter of Loreon Lannister, the Lord of Casterly Rock, and the cousin of Queen Visaera I Targaryen.

Lady Rhea is on her way to Summerhall with her brother. She is close to her lord brother, but is also known as the family's wild child, famed in Oldtown for her haughty beauty and wasteful expenditures.

Appearance and Character
Rhea is an unabashed foxy beaut'. Her face features high cheekbones, full lips, and purple eyes (probably from her Dayne grandmother). The lady's dark hair runs down low, as pictured. Her body is slender and tall, standing at 5'10.

She tends to dress clothes both trendy and costly, typically black as well as darker greens and blues. More often than not they are embroidered with the sigil of House Hightower. She always wears a pendant around her neck, featuring the seven-pointed star, a sign of The Starry Faith.

Depending on who's speaking Rhea is either a brat and a disappointment to an old noble house or-

Actually, thats what she sees of herself, as do others. But she does have the skill of alchemy and potions, and can make a quip or two when need be.

That's her utility to House Hightower: her mind.

She's also known for her skill in court. She can dance slower and more quietly than any other. Alas, that has little use in these quite days.

Upbringing
As is the Hightower tradition, rhea was trained by maesters from the citadel. As their patron, her house got their pick of young tutors.

She focused mostly on bookish things. History, heraldry, the sciences, the tenets of the faith. She also was taught the basics of the martial world, for if she ever inherited Oldtown.

Beyond that she took a special interest in potions and alchemy, as it seemed the most creative. Now she can heal wounds, create new compounds, its use is profound. Most oddly, she now makes tasty tea.

House Hightower had her trained to be a good daughter to her house, even if it appears not. From tudors of Braavos and Lys to teams of maester assistants, Rhea was made from sweat and gold.

The servants and Septas around her may question what she's learned from all this, as they know so little about her. In fact they often know where she is. It's a curious thing that her Lord Father would spend so much on... dancing. But he's at the wall now, so few will ask him such questions.

Later Years
While her Lordly brother was off squiring for Prince Maekar. Rhea was still a toddler. The conflicts plaguing the realm came to an end in 407 A.C. ending with her father being forced to the wall. She was 16. She feels as though her father never knew her, but finds she never knew him either.

Her brother has worked hard to, and has married into House Velayron and begotten children. Rhea has thus far chosen independence from that, leading suitors on for a time but never long. Her brother and Lord has set off to change that at the coming Summerhal Tourney.

The past decade of peace has been spent honing her arts and skills. She has become a force to be reckoned with, or at least she thinks so.
