Introducing…

House Branfield of Gold Grove is a rich and influential house of the Reach. Gold Grove is known for its seemingly endless gold fields of wheat, to which it supplies all of Westeros. Favorited granddaughter of the highly respected Lord Joran Branfield, Fallon is the only child of his Joran’s third son.

Controversy surrounded Fallon’s birth. Gareth Branfield was known to all as a gentle and highly intelligent man, all though somewhat weak willed. Society was scandalized to learn that the son of such a respected house ran off with a common servant girl, Marion. The scandal furthered when Gareth reappeared with the woman proclaiming her as his wife and that the two expected a child. Nine moons later, Marion gave to a daughter, but sadly Marion died in childbirth.

Gareth doted on his daughter, often dismissing her nursemaids and nannies to take care of Fallon himself. Lord Joran was also very fond of his granddaughter, spoiling her, employing the best seamstresses for wardrobe, and enlisting the best tutors for her education. Fallon’s aunt, Shannon, also favorited her only niece. Though not every member of House Branfield cared for Fallon. Fallon’s uncles and cousins considered her father’s marriage to her mother as disgraceful and invalid, often referring to her as a bastard.

Tragedy struck after Fallon turned one and ten, Gareth Branfield was unexpectedly stricken with fever and died. With both her mother and father dead, Fallon was left with no one to care for her. After Fallon’s father passed, she clung to her grandfather by assisting him managing House Branfield’s affairs.

Two years later, Lord Joran Branfield saw an opportunity for his then three and ten granddaughter when letters were sent out by Queen Alicent Hightower searching for a lady-in-waiting for the young Princess Helaena Targaryen. Fallon soon proved herself as valuable companion and lady-in-waiting to the princess. Princess Helaena and Fallon Branfield became inseparable, remind the Queen and all those in the Red Keep of another princess and her companion.

His schemes never ceasing, the Hand of the King, Otto Hightower saw Fallon and House Branfield as a valuable asset to putting Aegon on the throne. Not only did House Branfield have significant influence on the Reach and immense wealth, they also held onto one of the largest food sources in the South. It was declared that the Queen’s second son, Prince Aemond Targaryen, would wed Fallon Branfield when she turned six and ten and Aemond eight and ten.

The ceremony was lavish and it was said by all that Fallon Branfield was a most beautiful bride in a dress the color of fresh cream, Myrish lace, and pearls. Prince Aemond and Fallon Branfield already quite fond of each other made an attractive pairing. Prince Aemond notably cold, intense, and unapproachable, only softened for his family and beloved wife. The couple flourished despite the sword hanging over their heads, but eventually the sword dropped and the dragons danced.
