Appearance

Serra Rivers is a pretty if not beautiful woman in her late twenties, the consort of Maegor Rivers and the mother of two children. Reflected in her look is the burden of two pregnancies, yet she remains slender as ever, with dark caramel eyes and luscious auburn hair. Her curls fall just beyond her shoulder blades, oft neatly brushed to frame her face.

Her nose is narrow, her lips full and red. Her brows often work to give her a light expression, though who could’ve said for what festered underneath her unblemished skin? She is tall and slender, standing just short of six feet, with proud and defined features.

History

Early Life

The misdeeds, adventures, and journeys of Serra Waters began in the year 379 AC, shortly after Lord Brandon Tully had taken the Lady Sanelle Bracken as his mistress. The first child of four to be sired by Lord Brandon and his mistress, Serra was a mischievous girl, prone to accidents and fights with other youths. It should be noted that despite Lord Brandon being married to Lady Bethany Blackwood, Serra was his first child, and no other seed would be borne by Lady Bethany until 386 AC.

Unlike many bastards that grew up in their fathers halls neglected, Serra Rivers was afforded everything that an aspiring lady could ask for. Her education was swift, aided by one Maester Roger of Riverrun, as Sanelle Bracken encouraged her rapid development.

Three children would follow in Serra’s footsteps, borne of Sanelle’s womb: Landon, Alys, and Damion.

Berena Tully was born in 386 AC, following four stillbirths by Lady Bethany. One may think that the young woman did not take to Berena easily, but she watched over her as a caretaker, and as Berena grew, so too did she come into a liking for Maegor Waters, one of the many Targaryen bastards that had come to stay in Riverrun for a time.

Meeting Maegor, and Love

He would regail her stories of his youth, and adventures yet unseen. The Great Famine swiftly followed, and though Serra was not affected near so much as the many Riverlanders she encountered, she watched from the shadows as her father and his administration worked to loosen the tight grip on the Riverlands.

The Great Famine came and passed, as many of the natural disasters did at the time. Serra, fifteen now, and growing in both intellect and beauty, grew closer to Maegor. She had no lack of affection for the man, and did not shy away from expressing it. He fascinated her. He painted for her, and found that he could match her wits quite easily. Though there was no physicality between the both of them, love was not a word she oft shied away from.

The beginning of the War of Three Thieves and the year 397 AC were full of great and terrible things for Serra. She was just turning ten and eight when her mother died early in the year of a sickness unexplained. The War was brewing in the Stepstones, and on the eve of her mother’s passing, Serra took to Maegor’s chambers, and thereon, bedded him.

It felt like the most natural thing in the world.

It was during this year that Lord Brandon made his way from Riverrun to the court of King’s Landing, as well. He had left his brother, Ser Clarence, to watch over the youthful Berena Tully as she came into age. He took the rest of his bastards with him, but Serra elected not to go, instead remaining with her lover, Maegor, in the slowly-fading court of Riverrun.

Disappearance

They left shortly after. Serra did console the young Berena Tully, however, when she begged her not to leave. She would return, and then she could protect her.

Serra joined Maegor in his expeditions to the Red Mountains, Essos, and to Beyond the Wall. His adventures during this time highlighted the spirited woman she was. In the year 397, Serra quickly became with child, and birthed a young girl in the Red Mountains of Dorne, named Roslyn. She had the ashen hair of her father, and the eyes of her mother, not often a babe that cried out.

Travels

Shortly after Maegor and her’s venture Beyond the Wall, Serra Rivers elected to remain in Essos from the year 402 to 407 AC, beginning in Braavos. In 403 AC, Serra became with child once more, and gave birth in Lorath, to a young woman named Jeyne. Both girls were spirited away to Lys, where they went next, and would remain until the Tourney of Harrenhal in 407.

Serra however traveled to the city of glass, Myr, and earned herself a reputation a name amidst the lowest of the city’s population. Whether she was criminal or friend seemed to be lost amongst many of the nobility, and as she rose through the ranks in Myrish society, going so far as to even own a manse before departing, Serra was the victim of many assassination attempts.

Her ability to undermine and control her enemies earned her a moniker. The Mistress of Mirrors. Oft shrouded in her meetings with those she would seek to manipulate, her hair darkened, her voice obscured, Serra was an influence in Myrish politics. Though Maegor had left in the year 404, he returned in the year 405, and the two parted ways shortly after. They would not return to each other until 407 AC, when Serra abandoned her life in Essos, her games finally caught up to her.

Current Events

407 AC

Serra returned to Fairmarket in the early months of 407 AC, shortly after Landon Tully had become Lord of Riverrun. Though Lord Landon’s machinations were unknown to her, Serra beheld little trust for her younger sibling. And so it was when Ser Clarence Tully delivered her a letter. A plea from Berena, that she knew would send the Riverlands down a spiral of chaos and bloodshed that the world was not yet ready for.

Serra reunited with Maegor briefly before the Tourney of Harrenhal, in which she swore that she would never leave him again.

Serra did not however act until weeks later in the year, when Berena approached her for aid once again. The extent of Landon’s crimes had broadened since then, and he had marred the young Tully girl significantly. Orchestrating a plot to get her out of Landon’s grasp and spark a rebellion, Serra arranged that Berena would leave with Jeyne Frey shortly before the Tourney’s end.

This did not come about, however, and Serra understood that perfectly. Landon’s crimes now extended to the suspicion of Jeyne Frey’s death, and shortly after, Serra coaxed Maegor into dueling Landon on the road to Riverrun. The duel was a great success for the Bastard of Dragonstone, leaving Landon spent, having admitted his crimes before the world.

Shortly thereafter, Serra went to Stone Hedge, and was briefly imprisoned for a short time underneath Lord Lyle Bracken. She was spirited away by Lady Sarya of Stone Hedge, where they swiftly made their way to Lord Blackwood, and pled their cases there. Maegor and her went on a journey thereafter throughout several of the keeps in the Riverlands.

Their last stop was the Eyrie, where they are now.

The Mummer's War proved a disaster from the moment it began. When Maegor disappeared for two moons, having given Serra Dark Sister, she knew her time was up. Sending a page boy to the Crossroads Inn to meet with her brother, Damion, he gave the legitimized Lord Tully Dark Sister, and Serra has not been seen since.

All that was left was a letter of amity, pleading that the Lord Arryn treat her child with respect, and give her a good life.
