Arianne Vaith

Born of the Knight of Spotswood and his wife, Arianne Vaith is the lady of Vaith and the wife of Lord Morgan. A proud, ambitious woman, she acts as his only true confidante and accomplice, supporting him at every turn. Though she maintains a facade of the soft and polished lady, Arianne shares her husband's determination, ability in courtly pursuits and - at times - his ruthlessness. The pair remain childless, much to the woman's dismay.

Appearance and Character
Everything about Arianne suggests softness: her tone, her light step, her shapely figure. Years at court have made her a silver tongued yet reserved woman, who toes the line between charismatic appeal and restrained elegance.

Arianne is more imediately likeable than her husband and the couple uses this to their advantage - in their endeavours, she acts as the glove to Morgan's gauntlet, smoothing difficult situations and supporting her lord's efforts.

In a way, Arianne projects much of her ambition and desires on Morgan, pushing him to conquer for the both of them, to succeed in order to make them both stronger.

King's Landing
There's little to tell on Arianne's life before King's landing. Born in a perfectly comfortable household, she lived a happy childhood, surrounded by her family and her tutours who instructed her in everything a young lady ought to know, hoping to send her to a neighbouring court.

Her parent's expectations were met - if not exceeded. A Dornish lady residing in King's Landing grew so fond of the child during a visit to Spotswood, that she decided to bring her to the capital as her companion, preparing her for a debut in society.

Arianne quickly learned of her attraction to power and the court during this time, as she seeked ways to conquer some of it for herself. After a few dalliances with fellow courtiers, she finally met Morgan, at the time the heir to Castle Vaith, who would soon became her husband and lover.

The two quickly grew to share the closest of bonds, finding that theirs was the only honest relationship they could entertain.

Return to Vaith
After years of planning Morgan's ascent, he was overlooked for the opening spot of Master of Coin. Embittered, the couple returned to Vaith, where her father by law, Lord Cedric, lay on his deathbed.

After he could speak his last words with Morgan, he died, finally making her the lady consort of Vaith. Morgan didn't need to tell her how his father truly died - one look, and she understood.

After their ascension she has put a great deal of work into the running of their castle, gathering approval from their people and commencing irrigation project for the dry Vaith lands.

Recent Events
