Name: Alerie Rivers

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Species:
Human.
(p.s. could I change that later if I get bored?)

Allegiance to House:
Targaryen (as explained in paragraph below)

Role to House:
Not sure. Ha! Part of me wants to be a prostitute in King's Landing if possible, kinda like Ros. Not there because she wants to be, of course. Allegiance to Targaryen house in that she dislikes the current monarchy and feels that the Targaryen's have the ultimate right to the Iron throne.

Personality:
Originally a quiet and impressionable young girl, Alerie finds herself in the lowest position a Westerosi woman can hold. A bastard child, like so many in Westeros, but she grew up happy as she previously had not known what it was exactly to be a bastard. Approaching her teens her mother's failing health and their lack of money forced Alerie into prostitution in King's Landing. Having fallen into this dark world Alerie has had to grow up very quickly, she has had to thicken her skin and strengthen herself to survive in the capital. There is still a small part of her that considers running, leaving Westeros in an attempt to cross the Narrow Sea, though the more rational side of her is ever more likely to win and tell her that no one would take a woman such as herself, especially with a surname like 'Rivers' and so she stays. Having previously been an innocent, young girl she grew into a bitter woman now practically void of any hope that the situation would soon be ameliorated.

Physical Description:
Alerie has pale skin and yellow-blonde hair that falls around her shoulders in curls. She has the round eyes of a young woman, blue in colour, and pink lips like two settled rose petals. Her frame is quite petite, she is thin and often when nude will try to pull her hair down far enough or sit in a way so her hair covered her ribs so she doesn't look so poor and underfed. Though everything about her appears quite delicate she is stronger than she looks which, to her, is a comfort though she hopes to never have to use such strength.



Powers and Abilities:
None, at present.

Strengths and Weaknesses:
Because of her upbringing she has a lot of inner strength; 'a woman's kind of courage'

Weaknesses: She is a woman, and a poor woman at that, in a man's world.

Weapons and Armour of Choice:
Dagger/Knife.

Background History:
Born a bastard to her now deceased mother in the Riverlands, Alerie hasn't had the easiest life. Her mother fled the Riverlands when Alerie was very young and ended up at King's Landing hoping to lose herself in the city to hide from the shame of her child born out of wedlock. As a ruined woman no man would marry her. She tried to avoid prostitution at all costs, using her trades to create basic goods to sell, and Alerie and her mother lived hand-to-mouth for some time using whatever money they could to stay alive.
