Lorr Lightfingers

Born and raised on the streets of Kings Landing, Lorr is one of the many who turned to theft to feed himself but one of the few good enough to make theft a living. A generally pretty alright guy and good natured. Taught himself letters to broaden his options, that plus his discretion and good sense helped drag him out of the rabble of pickpockets and lockpicks making what they could on small jobs. Eventually he was good enough at his work and keeping his mouth shut that the likes of Little Finger became standard employers. He was one of the many charged with spying on the Starks when they come to Kings Landing and decides they seem like decent enough folk. As he watches them he gains a certain fondness,so he takes it upon himself to learn more about the Starks and lord Eddard by asking around the old folks and northerners moved down to KL out of curiosity mainly. When Ned is arrested he makes a decision and sneaks into the Red Keep to talk to Lyarra about plotting an escape for at least her and her sisters if not the whole family, when she agrees he officially sets to work putting together the crew that later gets Lyarra (and ideally Sansa) out.

Yrre Stone

A bastard from the Vale who makes his living as a sellsword. A clever and dangerous man who is known for his love of carnage and sadism but is also known for his professionalism and his intense loathing for rape/sexual violence, stemming from his own sister’s and her later suicide. Takes the job initially for the money but overtime becomes noticeably obsessed with Lyarra after preventing an attack on her which is a blessing and a curse. A curse obviously because he’s not the best person, incredibly volatile and completely projecting but a blessing because wanting to be in her good graces does more to curb his violent nature than threatening to deny his pay would. He’s intelligent and a voracious learner. He presents himself as a brutish unstable thug but in reality he’s a shrewd man and a brilliant tactician. Still kinda spooky tho.

Shipping

It is possible to ship with Lyarra it just takes some planning ahead of time and the acknowledgement it's a slowburn.

Age

Even in ASOIAF canon I end to write Lyarra as in her later teens than she, Robb and Jon would canonically be at the start of AGOT. Both to make things less dicey rping-wise and also to compensate for the fact than when GRRM made all the kids so young at the start because he planned to have a timeskip which was then abandoned. So she's usually starting off at something like 16-18 or so depending on how I have to do the math.

Content

She's ASOIAF based so naturally I'm pretty cool with a lot of awful shit. I'm happy to do a lot of different kinds thread, even if it's dark so long as it's interesting or does something interesting for the character/plot. I won't do any sexual violence plots, I just don't think that fun for anyone and I don't write smut.

Skinchanging

Has Night the direwolf and later adds to her options a raven(s) as she gets more control of her abilities and realizes how useful that is.

A CLASH OF KINGS

basic premise

Lyarra is held captive along with her younger sister Sansa by the Lannisters, doing her best to shield her from as much as possible but her efforts only go so far. She urges Sansa to err on the side of self-preservation and caution as she frantically looks to find allies. Eventually her prayers are met when Lorr Lightfingers approaches her in secret with an offer to help her and her sister escape Kings Landing. Desperate, and trusting her gut that he’s not a complete monster, she accepts and planning goes into overdrive.

At the Battle of the Blackwater they seize the opportunity and make the escape, their effort helped by Yrre Stone, some of his men and other Lorr found such as Milot Clereband. They then make their way up the country Lyarra going by “Jenny/Jenny Grey” when necessary to obfuscate what kind of party they really are. To that end they generally allow any misinterpretations, rumors, etc to survive and provide more cover to their purpose. Eventually she does make it back to Robb and Catelyn at River Run and reunites. However she has little interest in hanging back after all she’s been through and demands to actively aid and serve her brother in whatever ways she can. Given her increased skill in combat and the shadier end of problem solving on the way there, that and giving counsel tends to be where her serve lies.

[ Trigger warning for Rape/Assault: early into their time crossing the country on of the group that smuggled her out attempts to rape her one night. He is quickly stopped and murdered by Yrre, which cements his place as Lyarra’s other advisor along side Lorr and his place as her bodyguard. ]

A STORM OF SWORDS

basic premise

Basically starts with where we left off in ACOK, things only vary depending on which route and timeline branch you’re looking at.

TIMELINE BRANCH A / RED WEDDING

Lyarra manages to escape death herself by sheer chance. While Lyarra is thrown nearly off the edge by the sight of her mother and Robb being murdered, her men evacuate her and later, Yrre and a few others track down Robb and Grey Wind’s bodies after and take them to be cleaned, Catelyn however they were unable to recover.

Shaken, Lyarra declares herself queen to try and keep things together as much as possible and heads North with his bones to consolidate what’s left of the army, recoup and plan the North’s next move. She spends some time with Howland Reed when they reach the Neck and leaves Robb’s Bones with him for safekeeping until she can be sure Winterfell is secure.

TIMELINE A ROUTE A / MATTERS OF SUCCESSION

Aware of Robb’s will either because she was there or by being informed of it by Howland, she knows that Robb legitimized Jon and made him his heir and supports the choice. Feeling it’s critical to tell Jon about Robb’s will and hear what he wants to do she makes for the Wall as swiftly as she can. Goes about as well as you might expect seeing as he’s likely already miles behind the Wall.

Which is another thing she has to deal with while there waiting on him, The Mass Wildling Exodus.

TIMELINE A ROUTE B / BOOTING OUT THE BOLTONS

Entirely dedicated to dealing with the situation at Winterfell and Stannis Being up North. Details to Come.

Optional Events:

TIMELINE B ROUTE C / TURN BACK THE TIDE CONT.

HOTD VERSE

Lyarra is the daughter of Bennard Stark, Cregan Stark’s uncle who he imprisoned after conflicts around succession along with her brothers. Lyarra herself was not imprisoned in part because of her gender and because of misgivings she had about her father’s actions. Lyarra feels torn between her duties to Cregan and the North and her love and duties as a daughter and sister. Lyarra believes that if she proves herself useful and loyal she might be able to gain some clemency for her family, even if it means they’re only sent to the Wall it would be better than them rotting in a cell.

In this universe Lyarra is far more outdoorsy and still studying to be a bard, this time with no discussion as to whether or not she’ll get married after. In fact, there’s a bit of interest that she doesn’t given the tension between the sides of the family. Here her facial scar is a product of an accident that occurred when her family was taken. She was jostled/shoved around in the commotion and fell into the mantle, striking her face on the stone and splitting it open.

Lyarra's age in this verse is very maliable given I don't have any canonical ages for the brothers to bounce off of. The range is defaults to something like late teens to 30s. It very much depends on things like how people handle the timeline (books vs show etc) and how Bennard and his sons are handled, either just in RP Lore or in the show if we get there.

Stayed in the North

Lyarra doesn't go down to Kings Landing with her father and sisters, instead she stays to continue her studies and help Robb and their mother look after Bran and run Winterfell. Is most likely left at Winterfell when Robb goes south to run it since ya know, Bran is a child and ends up embroiled in all the various dramas that go on in the North like the Ironborn invasion and the Boltons being The Boltons.

Fleeing Winterfell

Continuation of the last one but specifically for anything where she ends up going beyond the Wall with Bran and/or Rickon.

Fleeing to Dorne

Can easily slot in at any opportunity for her to escape. Basically just that she yeets to Dorne ( ideally with Sansa and even arya ) from Kings Landing because it's closer and easier than trying to get home with a war going on. They hate the Lannisters and wouldn’t hurt young girls... right ?

Religious Fanatic AU

Melissandre doesn't get to have the monopoly on ritual sacrifice to the gods okay?

Free Folk AU

Instead of solving her issues with increased education she just runs away from home and becomes a wildling which makes things #Awkward once the Plot Starts Happening.

Political Prisoner 2.0 AU

Went up to the Wall to talk to Jon, didn't wait at the Wall for him to get back, went to go look for him. Got caught and is now Mance's prisoner. Oops.
