Viola Tarly

Introduction
The second child born to Auguste and Gwyneth on the 4th Moon in 419 AC, but only by minutes after her twin brother, Auguste Tarly.

Appearance and Character
Viola did not quite inherit her mother's build and height, nor her father's for that matter. Rather, she seemed to grow into a middle point between the two, but still stood an inch taller than her father. Unlike her twin brother and younger sister, she was not blessed with the full mass of a Tarly body, but instead with a more agile form. Even though she shares a shade of auburn in her hair and green eyes, hers had become much lighter and softer than the other three.

While she is skilled with a blade and in a martial capacity, her talents truly blossomed in the fields of diplomacy and her ability to lead on and off the field. Much of this had been cultivated by her warm, welcoming personality and comely features.

History
In the middle of the night in 419 AC, a worry came over Horn Hill as Gwyneth Tarly went into what was perceived as early labor. Albeit, there had been plenty of brows raised at the swiftness of her growth after her marriage to Auguste, but many preferred to assume that the children would be as large as their mother. When the twins were born at a full term size and health, there was a relief felt throughout the house. Horn Hill had gone so long with heirs dying, that many preferred to look the other way or sweep aside the notion that they had been conceived before marriage.

Unlike her brothers, Viola was not sent to squire for a lord during The Bleeding and the many conflicts that rose up, she still received training in the ways of a warrior. Gwyneth would not allow the sex of her children to determine their capabilities for fighting, and Viola took well to dueling with a longsword in hand; but it was not her talent that blossomed as she grew into a woman. Rather, she was an effective speaker to the smallfolk and nobles alike, resolving conflict and creating ties where there had been none before. In addition, her training in ways of war helped to fuel a capability to lead upon the field with a keen tactical mind.
