Genna Harlaw

Genna Harlaw is the wife of Theon Harlaw, and the second daughter of Ser Galladon Harlaw, the Knight of Grey Garden and his wife, Lady Jeyne Lannett. She is the Lady of Harlaw and the Ten Towers by virtue of her marriage, currently serving as the Regent of the island while her husband fills his duties as the Master of Ships in King's Landing.

Appearance & Character
Statuesque and elegant, Genna Harlaw carries herself with the undaunted composure and solemn dignity of a model lady, her mere presence drawing attention. Where she hails from an ancient line of Ironborn nobility, her appearance mirrors her Andal mother's, with a fair complexion, golden hair, and a pair of cerulean eyes upon her angular visage. The beauty of her fading youth is yet preserved in her unblemished features and the willowy figure she retains even after four times of bearing a child, but in her early thirties, hardly is she mistaken for a maiden. The wisdom she had cultivated throughout the years is wielded with purpose, which lends her poise an eternal shine.

The Girl from Grey Garden
Genna Harlaw was born in 404 AC during the Scarlet Winter, second of the two daughters to bless the matrimony of Ser Galladon and Lady Jeyne Harlaw. By the grace of the gods, she was a strong and healthy babe, and next to her elder sister, she completed the family the Knight of Grey Garden and his spouse had always wanted. Unfortunately for the pious branch of House Harlaw, where the Seven had given, the Seven also took away; Lady Jeyne fell ill with fever, and passed away shortly after giving birth.

Never having known her mother, Genna could scarcely understand the grief that persisted in her environment throughout the earliest years of her life. As a young child, it confused and scared her, and coming to comprehend the concept of death, she would often turn to blame herself for the unfortunate circumstances. Despite the weighing tragedy of loss, however, she and Margot would not suffer a shortage of parental care and guidance. Ser Galladon missed not a day to dote on his daughters, and his unconditional love gave Genna the security she needed.

Even though she had only a father, she learned what it meant to be part of a family and to be willing to give as much as she had received. Over the years, she found her guiding principles in that notion, and she developed a rare kind of intelligence over the years. As soon as she could talk, Genna had actively sought the company of others to engage in exhaustive conversations, or simply to ask the right questions and listen. Whilst sometimes her childhood antics invoked ire from the servants at Grey Garden, her ability to connect and show empathy earned her twice their admiration.

By the age of six, she had become a quintessential part of the household's life, and as she grew, her interests beyond the joys of social interaction had also spurted.
