Biography Edit

Genna was born in 79 AC to Lord Cedric Westerling and Lady Selyse Westerling née Swyft. She had one older brother, Triston, who was 4 years her senior.

Genna was raised behind the walls of her father’s keep, along the shores of the Sunset Sea. She grew up close with her family, especially her brother, whom had always been protective over her. As children, they were practically inseparable, oft playing down by the docks together. However, as they aged they would of course spend less time with one another - Triston busy with his Lordly training, whilst Genna received the tutelage expected of noblewomen in the Westerlands.

Being raised in the Faith of the Seven, Genna has received many years of training from the Septas. They not only taught her religion, but also crafts and arts desired in young noblewoman. Her tutelage included song, dance, poetry, embroidery, and etiquette. As such, Genna had blossomed into a charming and courteous young woman, winning the hearts of many in her household. With the encouragement of both parents, Genna would begin to frequent smallfolk villages alongside her mother, who was known not only known for her beauty but also her kindness and generosity. For Lord and Lady Westerling believed that a noble’s duty was also to their people. Genna was also trained in music. She learned how to dance, strum the lyre, and seemed to captivate whomever she sang for. To this day, Genna can oft be found sitting by the shores playing her little instrument and singing, whilst gazing out at the waters.

Whilst Genna’s childhood was filled with much joy, coddled by her family, at age 10 all would change. It was then that she would unexpectedly lose her mother, her falling ill with consumption and dying in a short time after. Such came as a shock to house Westerling, as they barely had enough time to say goodbye. This was Genna’s first real experience with death, not fully understanding the ways of the Stranger prior. Now motherless, the young Genna would fall under the care of her Septa. The old Septa Dorna would become the main maternal figure in Genna’s life, never straying far from her side.

Four years later, in 93 AC, the Rosegold rebellion would break out. Lord Cedric and Ser Triston would be pulled away to war, fighting loyally under the banners of house Lannister. Each and every day that they were gone, Genna would visit the Sept of the Crag, praying for their safe return and for the victory of the West. Though not sent off to war, Genna still wished to do her part. She would visit the smallfolk villages, showing gratitude to the families whose able men had been sent out. She would bring them supplies and gifts to help them through this arduous time. For all of Genna’s prayers, it seemed that the gods had answered. After fighting vigilantly, Lord Westerling and his son would both be returned safely home. Peace would be restored.

In 94 AC, Ser Triston would take Lord Algood’s daughter to wife, after falling madly inlove with her. However, such would break the betrothal between Morgan Marbrand in the process. The young Algood lady would come live at the Crag, growing close to be friends with Genna. It would not be long before Triston’s wife would fall pregnant. However, the bliss of lovers would not last long, as nine months later she would die in childbirth. The baby was delivered stillborn. Only a year later, more tragedy would befall the house of Westerling. Still disgruntled by the death of his wife and child, Ser Triston would travel the surrounding lands hunting. However, upon one such venture he would never return home. As the moons would pass with Ser Triston still missing, he began being presumed dead. Genna would become heartbroken by such news, always being very close to her brother. She retreated to the Sept in solace and delved more-so in her philanthropic work as a means of coping. The vanishing of Ser Triston still haunts Genna to this day, never being able to say her goodbyes or bury him. She feels distressed knowing his body was never put to rest, which serves as her greatest weakness.

It would take years before Lord Westerling would come to terms with the fate of his son, for he had now lost his greatest pride and heir. However, knowing that his daughter would now inherit, he wanted to make sure that she was prepared. In 97 AC, at last realizing that his son was probably dead, Lord Cedric would begin tutoring Genna in the duties of running the household. However, despite many years of missed training, Genna was shown to be a fast learner. She especially excelled when it came to diplomatic matters and showed prowess in economics.

With the call of Western banners to Crakehall, this is the very first time that Genna has been left to lead the Crag, as her aged father once more sets out to battle. Genna's loyalties remain to her family, as well as to her people. She aims to see the Crag flourish with prosperity, so that she may have more resources to help those in need. She also aims to one day discover what truly happened to her brother and at last put him to rest.
