Character History thus far:They say that bastards are born from lust and lies, grow up more swiftly than other children, and their nature is wanton and treacherous. The bastard daughter of Oberyn Martell and a Septa visiting Dorne, Tyene was certainly an unexpected and more than unwelcome child when she came into the world. However, Oberyn decided to keep and raise his 'natural' daughter rather than expose her to the elements, for which Tyene is especially grateful. Oberyn never kept the circumstances of her birth from her; as soon as she was old enough to understand, she was told why they called her 'Sand' rather than 'Martell'.Tyene grew up with two other half-sisters, Obara and Nymeria. The more they grew, the closer the three became.
It has been said that they are more like three different facets of each other, rather than three separate beings. Nym was a bit softer than Obara, so Tyene complimented her elder sister perfectly. Nymeria, and later on Arianne, became Tyene's voices of reason, the one two who could talk her down from all sorts of insane and potentially hazardous stunts. Nym was the buffer between the oldest and youngest girls – Tyene never did understand Obara and her ways.Oberyn Martell took care to train his bastard daughters, in whichever way they showed the most promise. Oberyn must have known more than he let on, or perhaps he saw her for what she was. Whatever his motivation, one day Prince Oberyn sent for Tyene to come into his solar. When Tyene arrived, he sat her down in front of a large, dusty old book. "You will read this, and you will learn." Prince Oberyn told her bluntly.
The tome was heavy, and nearly knocked Tyene off her tiny feet when she carried it back to her chamber. Tyene opened the book and frowned, puzzled as to why her father had given her a stupid book about healing remedies and potions. Oberyn's orders were always followed, though, and so she continued to read. Tyene finished the book a week later and returned it to her father, still a little confused as to why he had given her the book in the first place. She had been indoors all week while her sisters had been in the yards, practicing swordplay without her most likely. When she had communicated as much to her father he frowned. "You are almost a woman grown. You do not have the physical skills that the Gods have given your sisters, and yet you wish to bloody yourself-- do not think I cannot see it. So tell me child, how can you begin to understand death when you know nothing of life? Read the tome again."
And so she did. Tyene read about all herbs you can use to save a mans life, and when she had memorized the functions of each plant and bush and tree, her father gave her a new tome. This one was about negative reactions to different natural substances and suddenly, with a smile toying at the edge of her lips, Tyene understood.Tyene currently resides in Dorne with her sisters, where she captures the hearts of many men at court. She hates the Lannisters, but instead of using her skills with poison to outright kill them all; she bides her time and waits for the right moment. The Lannister gold could be useful in capturing the Iron Throne for the Martells. The question is, will these great Houses form an alliance, or destroy one another?
Character Personality Because of her upbringing from her fierce father, Tyene has always been taught to strive for excellence and victory, and it shows in her various talents. She is sharp minded, a quick learner, and a very resourceful young woman. Tyene is a bright and talented young woman, but she applies her intelligence in a more cunning manner, through her social maneuverings and charm in conversation.Tyene can leave men speechless, and women awed. She has a way with words, and with her wit, she can make just about anyone smile. while most people deny that flattery is the best first impression, Tyene knows otherwise. Everyone, in her mind, can be manipulated with sweet words, or the subtlest of glances. It's all a game, and Tyene plays it well.
Those who are close to her (her sisters and cousin) will learn that Tyene, whilst deadly as a snake, can still be trusted in certain instances. Family and loyalty to such is her life, and her family, and their allies know they can rely on her for support.Tyene was never the child allowed to run around rampant, and she rarely cried. She was brought up to be a strong young woman, giving her strength for perseverance through any challenge, and giving her a humble and deep satisfaction for accomplishments and victory she doesn't take for granted, from her advanced knowledge of herbcraft to her relationships. She is not easily upset, and is a master at disguising her emotions.
Tyene is a very deceiving person to those she does not know or those she doesn't trust. Her biggest advantage is the fact that she is highly underestimated (as a woman) by most, so she is able to come in to a confrontation with the element of surprise on her side. Be it in a conversation, or in a competition, it will be quickly realized that Tyene is a force to be reckoned with in her own right, but don't assume if you get the upper hand on her she'll let it go. Hell hath no fury like Tyene Sand if she isn't the victor... Tyene has as great of a capacity for a grudge as she does to love, and vengence is a dish best served blonde.
Tyene is a very cunning and resourceful young woman. She has the capacity to have a surprising about of influence with people, a few choice words and a sweet smile winning over almost anyone, and with her plethora of resources at her disposal, she doesn't hesitate to use them. From her own analytical intellect, to various connections with different families, or different lovers, Tyene is a woman who knows how to get things done. If she wants something done, or wants to know something, she knows exactly how to go about getting it, regardless of who she may have to step over. Sadly, she's more or less the girl who would prefer to remain behind the scenes, not liking the concept of taking on responsibility for herself, but don't misinterpret this as Tyene being another blind follower. Tyene doesn't like to be in the spot light, and feels that pulling strings from the shadows proves to be more effective and suits her style, making her extremely manipulative.

Sample Roleplay Sometimes been a Black can be great other times it's just a burden.Living with the Slytherins is also a burden Andromeda was bound to carry,they were so annoying at times that she couldn't even stand been at the same room with some of them.Orchid Crowley for example.That girl's voice was a torture to Andromeda's ears,just her voice imagine what it would be if Andy actually paid attention to what the older girl actually said.The school year had barely started and Andromeda felt already stressed about Charms.Why she had to suck so bad at spell casting?"Hey Andromeda want to play Goblestones?"a Slytherin first year boy asked her with hopeful eyes.She looked at the little boy with a smile but the truth was that she had no intention of playing anything right now."Maybe later Henry.."she breathed and the boy nodded before leaving her to her corner,hugging her Charms book.
She desperately needed some quite time alone,without those noisy Slytherins so she left the dungeons.Destination?The only place where she could find some peace of mind.The Library.Even though those staircases always brought her a headache,Andromeda hated that those staircase wouldn't stay in one place all the time but changed all the time.It was really frustrating when she needed to be somewhere.The raven haired girl looked up the staircases and sighed.One more day at the madness of those staircases..another day.She walked up a few and was lucky enough that she reached the fourth floor without many problems.Andromeda walked inside the library with her hair tied into a long braid and a bright smile adorning her features.She really liked this place,mostly because of the books,she never liked the Ravenclaws.Most of them just arrogant know-it-alls.Much like us..
She had to practice her casting skills but first she had to study a bit more,her father always said that before you act upon something you have to study it carefully and fully know it.It's like a quidditch game,when you have to know the team you are up against or like a duel,when you have to study the movements of your opomenent.It like a dance,magic is like a dance.Andromeda was at the Charm books section of the library but you can't really say that she was really looking where she was going when she bumped into another person and some books fell at the stone floor.Andromeda was so concentrated at the bookshelves trying to seek out a book that would help that paid no attention at her surroundings.She kneeled and tried to help with the books that fell because of the impact without looking at the person she bumped into."I am so sorry."
