asoiaf & got characters // pt. V - Oberyn Nymeros Martell
“Afterward men whispered that Oberyn had fought with a poisoned sword, and ever thereafter friends and foes alike called him the Red Viper. […] He had traveled in the Free Cities, learning the poisoner’s trade and perhaps arts darker still, if rumors could be believed. He had studied at the Citadel. He had soldiered in the Disputed Lands across the narrow sea, riding with the Second Sons for a time before forming his own company. His tourneys, his battles, his duels, his horses, his carnality… it was said that he bedded men and women both, and had begotten bastard girls all over Dorne. The sand snakes, men called his daughters. […] "Elia Martell, Princess of Dorne,“ the Red Viper hissed. "You raped her,” he called, feinting. “You murdered her,” he said, dodging a looping cut from Gregor’s greatsword. “You killed her children,” he shouted, slamming the spearpoint into the giant’s throat, only to have it glance off the thick steel gorget with a screech.”

Rhaella’s father, Jaehaerys, had been influenced by a woods witch brought to court by Jenny of Oldstones. The woods witch prophesied that the prince that was promised would be born from Aerys’s and Rhaella’s line, making Jaehaerys determined to marry his daughter to his son. King Aegon V Targaryen, whilst frustrated with his son’s decision, allowed Jaehaerys to do as he wished. There was no fondness between Rhaella and Aerys on the day of their wedding.

I am a wolf, and will not be afraid. She patted Needle’s hilt for luck and plunged into the shadows, taking the steps two at a time so no one could ever say she’d been afraid.
sansa stark ☓ persephone
Hades fell in love with Persephone, and with Zeus’ help secretly kidnapped her. When Zeus followed Demeter’s demands and commanded Hades to send Persephone back up, Hades gave her a pomegranate seed to eat, as assurance that she would not remain long with her mother, and thus Persephone was obliged to spend a third of each year with Hades, and the remainder of the year among the gods. Persephone is often associated with rebirth and loss of innocence. She was worshipped under the epithets of maiden and mistress. Talking birds, pomegranates, lilies and sapphires are some of her symbols.
