First Tier Characters:


Ser Lyonel Costayne
Age: 19

Ser Lyonel Costayne is allegedly the second son of the late lord Colin Costayne and his first wife, Allyria Fowler, although his parentage isn't really questioned since his looks aren't as conspicuous as Dyanna's, Danyella's and Lysander's.

Unlike his older brother, the heir, Lyonel is popular amongst the soldiers and retainers of Costaynes due his charismatic nature.

He is tall, good-looking, built like a proper knight, has dark brown hair and eyes to match.

Danyella Costayne
Age: 18

Danyella Costayne is the twin sister of Dyanna and the daughter of Allyria Costayne and.. well, Lord Colin, although there have been some whispers about her parentage since neither of her parents had blonde hair or bluish-green eyes. It is often joked that she is far too pretty to be Colin's daughter although the obvious hair and eye colour are never mentioned aloud. Colin never suspected anything.

Dany is only a few minutes older than her younger sister, Dyanna, and even though their personalities differ radically, they look basically the same. Especially for people who don't know them well.

Ser Julian Blackwood
Age: 21

Ser Julian Blackwood's family sent him to Oldtown in his early childhood in hopes of making a maester, or at least an expert scholar out of him. As a boy dreaming of knighthood, he largely disliked the idea and developed somewhat of a grudge against his family because of that incident.

He met the Costaynes when they were visiting the city and because Lyonel and the twins liked him so much, their mother Allyria convinced Lord Colin to take him to Three Towers as a ward.

He liked the Reach so much that he decided to stay there even after his wardship supposedly ended. He has no business back at the Riverlands and considers his family to be the Costaynes.

Ser Julian is tall and handsome, lean-built, has thick black hair and smoky gray eyes.

Lord Jaymes Costayne
Age: 22

Lord Jaymes Costayne is the firstborn son of the late Lord Colin Costayne and his first wife, Allyria. He inherited his lord title only recently when his father died in an unfortunate hunting accident. As the heir, he was always favoured by his father as a child, although his siblings clearly exceeded him in most things. The favouritism has granted him great confidence in himself and his actions. He's proud and hot-headed, making him reckless and unpredictable at times.

Jaymes is also the only child of Colin who inherited his looks. He is stocky, has black hair and brown eyes. He's definitely not handsome.

Some time ago, his father arranged his marriage to a 16-year-old maid of House Ashford, Jeyne. The two have no children as of yet and it's quite obvious that there's no attraction either.

Dyanna Costayne
Age: 18

Dyanna is pretty, blonde and blue-eyed and almost identical to her twin sister when it comes to appearance. The main difference between them is mental capability. Dyanna isn't too bright and although Dany and Julian are doing their best to rehabilitate her, it still takes a lot of time and effort.

Cunning: 35 (Persuasion)

Ser Jaeron Fossoway
Age: 24

Ser Jaeron is a knight of a lesser branch of House Fossoway living at Three Towers. It was his long time wish to wed Dany and that is the reason why he's still sticking around although so far he's had no luck.

He's not bad with sword and knows a bit about warfare, making him a valuable enough addition to the Costayne household.

Lysander Costayne
Age: 14

Lysander is the third son of lord Colin Costayne. Oddly enough, he doesn't resemble his parents either, much like his older sisters. He's tall, handsome, has blonde hair and blue-green eyes.

Lysander's mother died giving birth to him and for that, Colin hated him ever since he was little. It was fine for the most part, a lot of ignoring and some unnecessary scolding. During the last couple of years of Colin's existance, he took up drinking, and when he drank, he got angry. He started hitting Lysander and was always ready to start an argument with him just for the sake of it.

That didn't bother Lysander much, either. He quickly learned to keep out of Colin's way while he was drinking and got through most of the days without even seeing his father. Until it happened again and Dany stood up for him. The girls could usually bring sense back into him, calm him down, but not this time. Instead, Colin attacked Dany.

For that, Lysander shoved his sword down the man's throat on their hunting trip a week after the event. It was only them, Lyonel and Julian in that forest. Lyonel made Lysander swear no one would ever hear about this and Julian hid the body in the area that bears were known to prowl.

Lyonel wrapped a part of his leg in bloody rags and fake-limped for two whole weeks, "having fought so valiantly to try to save their lord father."

Julian had gotten away with an "injured" arm and Lysander without a scratch.

For a couple of weeks, Lysander was uncharacteristically quiet and Dany sensed a ploy. She knew him too well to actually buy his "grief". Despite his promise to Lyonel, Lysander let Dany in on their secret and was more than surprised when his sister smirked and seemed rather content with the deed.
