Background
Born out of the marriage between Lord Walder Frey and his fifth wife, Lady Sarya Whent, Lady Bryliesa arrived in the world on April 9th, 272. Raised amongst numerous half-siblings, cousins, and nieces/nephews - Brylie found it quite easy to get lost amid so many children. Her mother passed on not long after her fifth birthday, inspiring her father to take yet another wife. With the new 'mother' newer siblings were soon to follow and around her eighth year, Brylie found herself sent away to become a Ward within House Erenford, in hopes of solidifying a deeper political alliance and union with the lesser house.
Brylie continued to prosper under her studies with her Septa Marliese and seemed to demonstrate considerable skill when it came to the finer arts as well as the handling of animals. While she practically excelled in most fields she seemed to apply herself towards, the young noblewoman seemed to possess no affinity whatsoever for the finer works of sewing and needlepoint. Despite her displacement with House Erenford, Bryliesa remained a true and loyal daughter of House Frey, cautious to keep up correspondences between her various siblings throughout the years.
As she grew older, her finesse for diplomacy, beauty, and charm seemed to flourish. Blessed with an angelic voice, she proved to be quite the entertainer and companion for the various noblewomen of House Erenford. Possessing more than her fair share of stubbornness, young Brylie found herself upon the end of more than a few of her Septa's lectures due to her refusal to compromise her decisions. Whether right or wrong in her own decisions, Bryliesa has always pursued every endeavor with an inner passion - committed to seeing her decisions through to the end. Unlike some of her siblings, she tends to invest herself fully into everything she does to the point of near exhaustion.
Bryliesa has spent a great deal of time study the heraldry of the various realms, believing such studies to be paramount to any foundation for the future. When not ensconced in studies of medicine, herbalism, heraldry, history, or practicing her administration and organizational skills, she can often be found riding or hawking with her escorts. Bryliesa has an intense fear of lakes, ponds, rivers, and oceans due to a near drowning mishap when she was only seven. As a result she has never learned to swim and refuses any and all attempts to do so.

Physical Features
Standing proud at a little over 5'4", this young woman appears to be somewhere within her later teen years. Thick curls of warm honey-brown fall gently down this young woman's back to taper a few inches above her slender waist. Blessed with a flawless complexion warmly colored from time spent under the gentle caress of the sun, her features remain soft and completely feminine. High cheekbones and a small pert nose complement nicely the delicate curve of her soft lips. A set of thinly arched brows rest above her vibrant blue eyes, shielded by long dark lashes.
Her figure curves gently into a pleasing display of the female form in perfect proportion beneath her modest gown. The gown, itself, appears to be a fine turquoise silk with a brocaded jewel cut in various shades of gold. Long sleeves shield her golden skin before opening in a set of bell cuff with the same fine brocade about the edging. The bodice laces up the center with thin golden cording before tapering in to accentuate her slender waistline. Flaring out slightly at her hips, beneath the weight of a golden girdle embedded with blue topaz, the skirt falls to lick at the top of her feet - hem dusting the ground with each passing step. A pair of matching turquoise and gold brocaded slippers and few small gold rings upon her fingers complete her ensemble.

My House |
No matter how many miles I might go from the walls of the Twins, there is a part of my house that will always be within my heart. Love them or hate them, they are my blood and I cannot abandon them even in the most difficult of times. Sometimes the best thing a liege lord can do is to let nature run its course. Some might consider our lack of involvement in the animosity between some of our vassals to be negligence - but perhaps it is merely a necessity to keep one's eyes upon the grander dangers that surround the Riverland borders. |

Older Brother |
The dearest of all my brothers, I worry about you more than you can ever know. So honorable and dedicated to your sworn duties, you have forgotten what it is to truly live. You might be able to tell a convincing lie to everyone else, but I can see the emptiness inside. Being one of Lord Pappa's many children is not easy for any of us, but you must find a way to fill the void he creates inside us all before you fade away entirely. I will save you from yourself, if it takes the end of my days to do so. |
 |
Father |
Father, overlord, hero, villain, Lord Pappa - Walder is all these things and more. I cannot help but love him, even if I do not always agree with the decisions he makes. So many nights I have wished he would see me as the daughter I am rather than simply some convenient byproduct of a marriage long since gone. Yet, there is a part of me that is grateful he likely does not even know who I am. In truth, he terrifies me to the core. |
 |
Older Sister |
Firth is always so perfectly composed and wise. Whenever I missed mother the most, she was there to give me that maternal advice. So many letters after so many years, I would have been lost without her. She's back home again now, thankfully Lord Pappa has seen the error of his ways in marrying her off to that Lord Blockhead that she once called husband. |
 |
Oldest Sister |
Perhaps the oldest of my sisters, or at least chief amongst them, Jaimera is perhaps more of a myth and legend than anything else. I cannot say I have seen her much during my time within the Twins, though perhaps that was more of her design than mine. While I have been warned time and again by my slightly elder siblings to be wary of the Frey dragon-lady, I find my curiosity drawn all the same. It has not stopped me from sending her gifts and letters upon every nameday regardless of her preference. She might be terrifying, yes, but she is my sister still and there must be some heart deep within her - well, perhaps very deep. |

My Guardians |
If Frey is my house by birth, it is the Erenfords that have become my house by choice. While my presence amongst them was undeniable a forced effort by my father, I have never once felt unwelcome within their halls. I cannot help but hold them close to my heart and credit them a great deal with the woman I have become. No matter where my destiny may one day call, I shall always have a vested interest in their own good fortune and growth. |
 |
Lady |
Beautiful, poised, articulate, ruthless - really there are no better words to describe Emy. We may not be sisters by blood, but in many ways she is just as close to me than any others born of Lord Pappa's other wives. I would have faded into the background had it not been for her many adventures when we were younger. Her parents were so very patient with us both. A true friend and sister to the core. I thank the Seven nightly that we were forged as friends and not enemies. |
 |
Lord Knight |
Charming, compassionate, reserved - Ser Brennart is all these things and more. It is hard not to place him high in reverance. Many knights espouse a code of honor, but he seems to embody it heart and soul. He is fascinating and I find myself enjoying the little time spent within his company more and more. |
 |
Lord Knight |
Witty, jovial, carefree - Ser Nevan is every bit as charming as his brother Ser Brenn. He reminds me of a wild puppy, nipping playfully at one's heels and entertaining all with his easy nature. He feels so much like a brother and the teasing banter is sometimes too tempting to resist. After all someone must nudge and give him a little bit of grief when Emy is not around. |
 |
Lord Knight |
Like his cousins, Ser Otto has that innate Erenford charm. Even if it does sometimes get drowned in mead and ale. He truly is a gentle giant, at least where those protected by his House are concerned. Even when displeased, he manages to soothe overworked tempers. For such a large man, it is most amusing to see him trying so hard not to bruise my feelings when in need of chastizement. I sometimes think he forgets that Freys are made of sterner stuff. |

House Charlton |
My Lord Pappa's greatest vassals and token pets - I grow wary of their expansion. I realize they have become the house of my dear sister, but too much power has a way of corrupting even the most loyal. Their recent gaze upon Stonebridge could just be the first step to conquering all of the Riverlands. Perhaps my Lord Pappa should look to tighten the leash upon them, for these dogs seem to be preparing to eventually bite upon the hands that feed them. |

House Mallister |
They say competition can be healthy, yet our rivalry with the Mallisters leaves a rather acidic taste upon my tongue. I have no doubt of their competency and the overall shrewdness of their nobility, but it is the sheer propensity for underhanded manueverings which concerns me most. Recent dealings with the Tully's have left us a little bruised, but cannot help but feel as though the Mallisters are sharks circling the waters around the Twins - waiting to strike. |
 |
Lord Knight |
Ser Kamron might be a good knight, as I have not seen him upon the fields I cannot rightly say, but he seems to lack more than a little when it comes to tact. Perhaps it comes from being a Mallister. He shall always hold the distinct honor of being one of the few knights I have ever secretly wished would choke upon a chicken bone. By the Seven, grant me the strength and tolerance to endure more like him. |
 |
Lady |
Sister to Ser Kamron, or so I am told, it is really hard to see the relation. She appears to lack any of his arrogance and is definitely in possession of a sound mind. Perhaps she is adopted, or maybe she merely inherited the best the family has to offer. Only time will truly tell, but Lady Nedra may inspire me to rethink my opinion on every member of the Mallister family. |

 |
Lady |
One of the Mallister cousins, this Lady seems to have inspired quite the battle for her hand. I have yet to meet her but it speaks well of her that she has managed to capture the attentions of Ser Otto. The mere fact she apparently seems to favor his suit over that of Lord Alric conveys volumes of her taste. Yes, I do think that perhaps the females of the Mallister house are to be exempt and immune to the overall taint of their menfolk. |
 |
House Haigh |
Another of Lord Pappa's vassals, it is hard to form an opinion in any real direction when it comes to this house. There is no questioning they harbor a degree of ambition, yet the do not quite appear to be nearly as adept as the other vassals to achieve any great advancement. Their recent decision to jump upon the wagon in support of House Charlton could prove to be a concern. With the growing power hunger of the Charltons, the Haighs bear close watching - lest we find an army ready to turn their sights on the Twins once the battle for Stonebridge is concluded. |
 |
House Nayland |
Another competent vassal of Lord Pappa, House Nayland is a solid balance against the growing power of the Charltons. As long as they hold each other in balance, we are safe. With Stonebridge now on the verge of being removed from their control, we need to be careful to keep a close eye upon the Naylands. The love borne for them is no greater than that granted to the Charltons, but they could just be the one barrier keeping Lord Pappa's favorite pets from begining they conquest of all of our vassals. If history has taught us naught else, we must keep closest those we consider the greatest risk and always deal with the darkness we know in favor of the one we do not. |
