Laurel Velaryon

Laurel Velaryon is the eldest daughter of Lord Vaemond Velaryon and his wife, Lady Laena Baratheon. Though raised primarily on Driftmark, the maiden is often seen at court accompanying her mother. She has been lame from birth as a result of a clubfoot, and walks with a cane.

Appearance and Character
Delicate and frail, Laurel is unable to match her siblings in boisterousness or energy, but she serves as a dutiful mother hen overseeing them anyway. Her looks favor her father's, with classic Velaryon features of pale silver-blonde hair and seagreen eyes.

Though blossoming into great beauty, Laurel is pessimistic about the prospect of marriage given her deformity, and deeply self-conscious of her inability to do many of the things a girl of her age ought to. Instead, she busies herself with books and embroidery, a perfectionist who is eager to prove her worth.

She is, fundamentally, a realist - given to worries and gloom more often than fancies or fantasy. A solemn and responsible child, she often finds herself in the awkward position of urging her father to see reason.
