#….EXCEPT LYRA 😪

[lyrakanefanatic]

OKAY SO I REALLY WANTED TO MAKE A LITTLE PREDICTION OF WHAT THE CHARACTERS WILL BE LIKE SO HERES THE CHARACTER IM MOST EXCITED FOR FIRST!! (this is going to be a 7 part series 😜)

——————————————————————————

1: lyra kane

• closest to in the game: odette morales

• love interest: grayson hawthorne

• the person she dislikes the most in the game (at first): rohan, knox

• personality traits: hardworking, loyal, advocate, supportive, smart, fair, responsible, and sarcastic

• negative personality traits: can be cold and calculating, says the wrong things when mad, stubborn, and not that good at letting people in

HER CHARACTER OVERALL HCS:

• has a younger half sibling (i hc that she has a little brother)

• her mom divorced her step dad when she was 14 because he was abusive ( :( )

• dog person but adores cats

• very good with technology (which is how she got graysons number)

• although she acts tough on the outside, she will never stop caring about people and finds it very hard to despise her ex stepdad because of that (even though he mentally and physically abused her)

• she bonds with nash over how protective they both are of their brothers

• she’s good with guns but only started training with them to over come her fear, which she’s had since her dad shot himself. even though she’s more over it now, her heart beat still speeds up every time she sees a gun

• she didn’t feel that sad when her dad died right away, but throughout the years it hit her harder and harder

• she’s latino with long dark wavy hair, tan skin and dark brown eyes

• is 5’4 but just tells everyone she’s 5’5 because she finds it humiliating (that or shes really tall you can pick babes because i couldn’t 😘)

• she has a semi athletic build with thick thighs and abs

• she adores her family and would do anything for them

• flirts without meaning to and accidentally makes people nervous because she keeps eye contacts for too long

• is very similar to her mom if you put them side by side but still the similarities of her dad are extremely prominent, and anybody who knew him or what he looked like could see them EASILY

• i genuinely don’t know if grayson is going to be 21 or 22 in the grandest game and because the new snippet said that she was “not yet 20” i’m gonna say she’s 19 (but if grayson ends up being 22 then im gonna say she’s 20 bc it would feel weird if she was 19 😭)

• lyra loves her mom to death and lyras mom would kill for her

HER RELATIONSHIP WITH THE OTHER CONTESTANTS:

• knox landry: she didn’t like him at first and they both hated each other, but then in a conversation he mentioned that his dad died, and from that point on they’ve gotten closer and bonded over the fact that they both have dead dads. once the hating stage is over though he’s like an older brother to her and they both care a lot for each other. they share a lot of inside jokes and knox definitely treated grayson a lot harsher when lyra and gray started dating 💀

• odette morales: as soon as they met, odette was never mean or competitive towards her, and she was the first one that lyra trusted immediately out of all the other contestants. they ended up being duos in everything and became bestfriends. they bond over music, hobbies, opinions, and matter of fact, odette is the first one lyra goes to when she fully realizes that she likes grayson 🤭

• brady daniels: her and brady never had a bad stage, but there was a point where she didn’t know if she could trust him or not because he was friends with knox. but, after a few weeks of being on the island, they warm up to each other, and when brady finally comes to her about his little crush on odette, she promises to keep it a secret and help him ask her out

• gigi grayson: lyra was a bit shocked at how gigi immediately was nice to her and was never rude or passive aggressive, (she was untrusting of the contestants at first) and that’s why they started being friends right away. lyra sees her as a little sister and loves her bubbly attitude, and gigi sees her as yet another big sister who, in her words, is “a queen who can put people in their place”. when lyra finally snapped at knox for how passive aggressive he was being towards her, gigi did not stop talking about it for DAYS. she’s her biggest supporter and knows that she can always go to lyra if she ever needs anything, and vice versa.

• savannah grayson: it took them a while to warm up to each other because they were both wary of the other contestants, but once they did they realized how similar they were. although savannah acts like she doesn’t gossip, she 100% does when she’s with lyra. lyra loves how she can say anything and savannah won’t judge her for it, and vice versa. lyra was the only one who, although felt slightly weird about it, didn’t hold savannah (or gigi) accountable for the fact that their brother was a game master and she was in the game. they love staying up late talking, and lyra can always make her laugh. oh, and they 10000% watch gossip girl together. i don’t make the rules.

• rohan: and last but not least, rohan. rohan and lyra shared a very complex relationship when they first got to the island, before their rivalry turned into a chaotic friendship. before the friendship happened, though, lyra hated rohan because she thought he had a big ego and he flirted with her to annoy her. although he won’t admit it, rohan had a crush on her when they first came to the island, that he honestly forgot about once he started crushing on savannah. and once their (pretty one sided, since lyra kind of hated him for no reason LOL) rivalry ended, they ended up being best friends who always get into arguments, but love each other to death.

——————————————————————————

OKAY BEFORE ANYBODY CALLS ME DELUSIONAL I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT THESE ARE MY PREDICTIONS OF THE CHARACTERS!! IM NOT SAYING THAT IM CERTAIN THEYRE GOING TO END UP LIKE THIS AND I SEE THEM LIKE THIS, I JUST WANTED TO PREDICT WHAT THEYLL BE LIKE 😪😪

I haven’t talked about Jayne Ladybright in awhile (😔) but now I’m remedying that

(So actually this was sparked thinking about the Mormont sisters because we actually don’t have a definite age set for any of them except Lyanna; personally I think Dacey and Alysane are rather close in age which I think is supported by the text, between two and four years max I would say; I also think Lyra and Jorelle are close in age, which not as supported by the text, my guess would be they are in their lateish teens as Maege keeps them with her but they are old enough to fight; and then we have Lyanna at age ten at the very end (and I presume, unplanned; not that any of the Mormont girls were planned necessarily but I think Lyanna was more unexpected then the rest. I’m sooo interested in Lyanna’s relationship with her niece though. Aly’s (unnamed) daughter is only a year younger than Lyanna so I imagine they have to be if not close by choice, thrown together a lot by circumstance and their family.)

so my headcanon/guess is that Jayne is not much older than Elia Sand, but especially when you’re young, you cling to those tiny age differences and they mean so much, so I think she’s between one and three years older than Elia, I tend to think closer to the one/one and a half year apart but three at the max

Jayne has to still be on the youngish side because she’s specifically noted as such but she’s also not called a girl so she’s definitely at least sixteen

Elia Sand is fourteen so I would put Jayne at sixteen although I think seventeen is arguable too

(sidenote: not to be a hater but Elia Sand is a lot closer in age to Dany then Rhaenys, you realize that right? If Rhaenys had lived, it makes more sense to me that she’d be close to Arianne and/or the five older Sand Snakes (Sarella feels most plausible tho’) as well as some of the ladies-in-waiting she might have rather than her baby aunt who depending on Rhaella’s survival may not always be raised together with her niece and nephew; Aegon and Dany are closer in age to each other.)

anyway to clarify, this is all speculated/wildly made up by me based on Jayne appearing in one (1) Arianne sample winds chapter so like grrm could choose to change her name or get rid of her entirely (😪) but!

what I find interesting is that I think she’s like a foil to Elia Sand? maybe foil is too strong a word but like complement. I think Jayne is demure and well behaved (is this all based on the fact that pretty much the only thing of note is her being seasick? yes. could grrm choose to change her ‘characterization’? also yes. but i’m working with what little we’ve got.) the way a lady is supposed to be whereas we know Elia is much more gregarious and a bit wild.

I also think that their stations in life have something to do with this too? and grrm could do interesting things with that if he wants to. we have Elia Sand, a very highborn bastard but a bastard nonetheless with a father who it can only be assumed encouraged her wildness and who is only recently dead (and how much of the way Elia acts is in reaction to that, we just don’t know) and then we have Jayne, a presumably fairly sheltered young noblewoman.

if she’s getting seasick for the first time (again assumption but.), this may be the first time she’s left Dorne (not necessarily of course, there are other ways to travel, especially if you’re going only to the Reach or the Stormlands which are next door, but not i think an implausible guess).

the Ladybrights are all my canon ocs. we know next to nothing about them (yet) - not their house words, not their house colors, not their house sigil, not where their seat is located nor its name, and though we know only the names of two members, that’s almost the sum of the knowledge that we have.

I did extrapolate from their name (which is basically the only thing I can extrapolate from) that they might be particularly religious generally or they might be somewhat like certain religious cults where (I’m using cult here in like a specific religious subset way not a mass murder type way although obviously a cult can be both.) one god or aspect was given the lion’s share of the prayers and attention and devotion, i.e. the cult of mithras.

so I designed their sigil keeping that in mind. (sheb drew it for me here because she’s an angel. 💙)

‘the lady’ is a bit vague, it doesn’t map clearly onto solely the maiden or the mother, although those do feel a bit more plausible than the crone tbh. I also think it’s a reasonable interpretation that religion is practiced a bit differently regionally (grrm doesn’t really show us this but 🤫) and I think it’s entirely possible for someone(s) to choose to focus on the women aspects of the seven. (even the stranger honestly. the stranger said to be neither male or female so like, can probably be mapped under either by choice or variant of worshippers. also ‘the lady’ seems like it could be a way to euphemistically refer to a powerful figure such as death or a deathbringer but avoiding using their name so as not to summon them/get their attention.)

so I think the lady can be a number of possible things either a) amalgamation/focus of the maiden, mother, and crone or b) another name for just the maiden or c) mother and maiden or d) the three plus the death aspect. and doesn’t have to be the same one always.

I think House Ladybright may have a special connection with one of these or at the very least, the house founder might have. whether that is still true of the current members of the house is another thing.

Alyse Ladybright, canon relation to Jayne unknown, is lady treasurer.

because of that, I think it’s fairly reasonable to assume both that a) she’s on the older side rather than the younger and b) that she’s not the (current) head of her house.

I think it’s a logical assumption not to put say, a twelve year old, in charge of the accounting and financial decisions of a Great House even if they’re a mathematical genius so I think she is at least 20 and given that Arianne does not include either her or Jayne in her friend group nor in her childhood remembering, I think Alyse is at least 10 to 15 years older than Arianne

I headcanon her as close in age to Doran and them as childhood friends but that’s just what I would like

Likewise, although the age gap is almost certainly less between Arianne and Jayne, she doesn’t feature in Arianne’s memories like Sylva, Garin, Daemon, and Tyene do (this could be because the Ladybrights are very recent conceptions of grrm’s like how in agot we didn’t know all the names of Maege’s daughters but either way I think it has to be presumed they didn’t play together in childhood)

Alyse is probably not the head of her family because if she’s lady treasurer for Doran, she probably spends nearly all of her time in Sunspear/the Water Gardens, etc. it’s not impossible but unlikely that she’d also have time to run House Ladybright’s seat and manage her family’s affairs.

but she is a Ladybright. so either she’s a Ladybright by marriage, a widow, maybe of a previous Lord Ladybright, or she was married and widowed and reverted to her maiden name (possible of course but unlikely I think), or, what I think is most likely, has remained unmarried to do what she loves best which is math for the Martells. and I think she’s able to do that because her position brings prestige to her family.

so I think she is either younger sister to the current ruling Lord or Lady Ladybright or aunt to the same. Either way, I have her as great-aunt to Jayne.

hmm I really strayed from my initial thought didn’t I

it’s unclear to me whether Jayne and Elia Sand had an acquaintance before this trip but if not or if they knew who the other was and that’s about it, Elia making fun of Jayne getting seasick is hardly going to put them on the right foot so I look forward to them not getting along and being contrasts to each other and probably driving poor Arianne crazy

(last comment before I post this ramblygook: why is Jayne included at all in Arianne’s party? she’s the most obvious why is she there, so I think my idea that Doran and Alyse are friends/were friends/are close isn’t completely unfounded. also supports my thought that the Ladybrights are sworn directly to the Martells rather than vassals of say, the Daynes or the Yronwoods, but given their lack of significant mentions in Dornish history, I think it’s likely they derive their prestige from that relationship alone.)

I hope we see more of Jayne (and I hope we get to see Alyse) even if it means I’m proven wrong

I don’t know how to end this so uh have a meme behind the cut and peace and love ✌️

how I look to y’all posting this:
