Tyene Dayne is the Lady of High Hermitage and head of House Dayne of High Hermitage, a cadet branch of House Dayne of Starfall. She inherited the keep at a young age after her father, Ser Davos Dayne, died of an infected wound. From a young age she was fascinated by the soldiers of the castle and old tales of war. With her large size and athletic nature she quickly was able to become a match for any soldier in the castle. Lady Tyene is stronger than most men, and a better fighter too. She is extremely tall and muscled. In battle she takes advantage of this fact by wielding a two handed sword. Though over time she learned to become proficient in the Dornish Spear as well. Currently Lady Tyene is in King's Landing with Lord Aemon Dayne at the insistence of her cousin Aron Dayne, the castallan of Starfall. Nominally she is there to help find a noble husband among the court, but in reality she wants to both protect her cousin and prove to the wider world she can be as strong of a warrior as any man.

Appearance and Character

As a child Tyene's father jokingly called her the giantess of Dorne, and with good reason. She grew remarkably fast and remarkably tall, with great muscles to compliment it. At 6'2 she towers over most medieval men. In court she often forgoes a dress, as Tyene thinks she looks silly in them. Instead wearing more masculine tunics and gambisons. Her parents raised her very leniently, with her father giving her most of what she asked for. Lucky for him instead of expensive dresses or jewels, Tyene simply requested training with the man-at-arms. Her mother approved of this greatly, instilling the idea in Tyene's head that if a woman could rule Dorne, she could fight for Dorne as well. However, tragedy struck when her mother died giving birth to her brother Edric Dayne. From here on Tyene lost one of the guiding forces in her life, and quietly resents young Edric for it. Tyene started to become more and more independent, learning to say what she wanted when she wanted and becoming quite arrogant in her abilities.

History

Tyene Dayne was born on the 15th day of the 10th Moon of 387. It was the first time that the Dayne's of High Hermitage had a female heir, and under Dornish succession even though she wasn't a knight she would still get the keep. This didn't bother her father Ser Davos in the least, as he was a quiet and agreeable man who didn't look much to the future. He raised Tyene with the expectation that she would rule, and when she showed an interest in fighting he was happy to oblige. Early in her life Tyene's mother served as a wiser guiding force, but she died in childbirth when Tyene was only 8. The result was her brother, Edric Dayne. Her father was unable to cope with the loss, or help Tyene deal with her emotions. So the girl channeled the energy into what she was already doing, becoming stronger and stronger while neglecting her courtly education. As a teenager Tyene found herself with no one to relate to. Her brother too young and her father too aloof. She became snarky and rude, quick to anger with a ferocious temper. She mistreated the servants of the castle and when her brother was old enough began to bully him too. Despite this a calming presence in the form of her cousin, Myrcella Sand, helped her slowly mature into an adult. While Tyene still had an attitude of "might makes right" she learned to respect her family and friends more.

When her father died in 405 AC, things changed. Suddenly Tyene was the head of the family. Those she had mistreated became her responsibility. Overwhelmed by this, Tyene passed on most of the castle's duties to Myrcella and her aunt Clarissa Dayne. Including entrusting them to continue to raise young Edric. When her cousin Aron suggested that she travel to King's Landing to meet with Aemon and possibly find a husband, Lady Tyene was more than open to the idea. Wanting naught but an escape from the responsibilities of rule.
