Background
The birth of all babes is a miracle if only of life, but after two stillborn older siblings, Muirenn's birth was considered by the Mallister family a distinct blessing. Aduialana and Hale Mallister had dispaired of other children following the birth of their eldest son. As such, the birth of another child after two stillborns was an unexpected gift and the couple did not seem in the least disappointed by their baby girl though rumor ran rampant that Hale had hoped greatly for another son.
Tiny Muirenn grew idolizing her brother, when he left to be fostered with one of the other Houses she was distraught and lost without him. About a month after his departure a letter arrived and regularly thereafter. All of them were full with news of her brother's doings and stories of life at the other Houses. While waiting for the letters, Muirenn's days were busy spent learning the intricasies of needlepoint, etiquette, and managing a household…things that every proper young lady must know. Always the small girl was escorted by her nurse, a undeniably proper, but not altogether unfriendly Septa by the name of Waldsteinia.
Happy at her home on an estate not far from Seagard, young Muirenn read and dreamed of nothing more than one day meeting a knight who would whisk her away into his adventures. Tragedy nearly snuffed out those dreams when she was eight years of age. The girl was struck down with a fever that can be so disastrous for children. During the months of careful healing as Muirenn battled the fever that again and again threatened to claim her life, she demonstrated a strength of spirit and determination that carried her through the worst episodes. As a result of her daughter's illness, Aduialana grew overly protective of her child and kept her at home for many years. Aduialana was determined to train Muirenn herself in the arts of overseeing a household and preparing her daughter to make an admirable wife. Despite this…or perhaps because of this, Muirenn grew into a lovely, but intense young woman with a passion for a wide variety of interests.
Always, the girl has had a fondness for animals and her freedom at home allowed her to develop into an admirable rider as well as the ability to take lessons in herbalism and chiurgeonry with the healers and Maesters that aided in her recovery. Though fully recovered from her childhood illness, the redheaded woman still is prone to the occasional cold and rumors abound that she is sickly…especially or because of the way Aduialana kept Muirenn at her side. Finally not long after Muirenn's 18th name day, enough was enough and Lord Jason ordered Aduialana to send her daughter to Seagard to be his ward. In an attempt to expose his niece to other Houses and society, Lord Jason sent Muirenn with his son, her cousin, Young Lord Patrek, as part of the House Mallister entourage to Terrick's Roost to mingle with other nobility.
The Greyjoy Rebellion merely a few weeks after her arrival at Four Eagles Keep was a shock to the relatively innocent and naive girl. Though her chiurgeonry and herbalism were put to good use saving the life of Lady Liliana Camden and helping the Maester heal the other wounded, the sight of the tortured Septon sacrificed to the Drowned God likely will haunt her for many years to come. Not only did the war deal a blow to the Terricks, but it sorely wounded all of House Mallister when Muiri's adored and beloved Uncle Jason was killed in combat. The only good to come of it was that her beloved childhood friend, a common knight named Ser Trystan Conners, came back into her life after having been gone for some years.
Though the war changed everyone in some way, normalcy of a sort returned when the men came back to the Riverlands after defeating the Ironborn. After time at Seagard with her family her cousin Patrek, now the head of the House Mallister, asked that she return to Four Eagles and the Terricks making her Lord Jerold's ward. Though the teen understood the need to show the utmost support of their bannermen during the period of rebuilding that was to follow, she was quite homesick. In attempt to make life better for her new family, she word hard to create a lovely herb garden out of a portion of the courtyard. It worked better than she could have hoped and quickly became a favored spot for guests and family alike. Life in Terrick's Roost was hard after the invasion. Little food meant rationing, and while Muirenn adored her new guardian the same cannot be said of all his children. It was only a couple weeks after returning that Lord Alric Fenster came to court the maiden. She was unsure about his intentions, whether he truly wanted to get to know her or wanted her only for her title. She told him that she would like to get to know him better, but to start as just friends.
One thing that eased the girl's mind was the fact that Ser Trystan was assigned to accompany her and be a part of the Mallister contingent at Terrick's Roost. The love that the two felt and could never express deepened, but as always, with the exception of only two short moments in time, the pair continue to remain separated by the unassailable gulf of class and duty.
Being kidnapped by bandits did not help her feel better about her new circumstances. Yet again in her young life she met with the Stranger as her lungs reacted badly to the cave she was kept in and the girl grew dangerously ill. Rescued barely coherent, it took days of careful nursing to bring Muiri back to health. Like the war, the kidnapping and imprisonment…facing death and being sent back changed her.
It was around the time of her recovery that her cousin Patrek's betrothal was announced and a giant tournament held in the couple's honor. Back home at Seagard with her family she relaxed and was able to regain a bit of herself back. It was with reluctance that she allowed her Father to convince her to return to the Terrick's.
Previously, at the tournament, Muirenn had been introduced to Ser Brennart Erenford, the second son of Lord Miraz. Upon her return to Terrick's Roost she was introduced to Lord Brennart's brother, Ser Nevan Erenford, and his cousin, Ser Elrick Otto Erenford. It was clear to observant people that Ser Otto and Muiri got on well together. When Ser Otto asked permission from her brother and cousin to court her, it is likely that the only person who was shocked was Muirenn.
The threat of war yet again, in the form of House Charlton vs. House Nayland prompted Ser Otto to forgo a traditional courtship and within a month or so after meeting her asking his Uncle to arrange for a betrothal. The terms were arranged quite quickly and he surprised Muirenn with a romantic feast for herself and their retainers out in the woods, and gave her a beautiful heirloom necklace as a betrothal gift.
Though frustrated that she was not party to anything regarding her own betrothal, Muirenn was pleased with the outcome.

Physical Features
On the cusp of blossoming, ivory skin proves a lovely canvas for this maiden's fine-boned face. Her grey-green eyes, often chastely lowered, tend to glance up through bronze lashes in sudden moments revealing at turns dreamy innocence and fascinating smiles, or deep perception and sharp intellect. Locks of the girl's bright sunset hair have been woven with silver and gold ribbons into a coronet upon her head. The rest has been allowed to fall loose en masse in sinfully thick, glossy waves to her waist. Subtly fastened to her hair, a finespun veil off indigo silk cannot quite disguise the richness of color and texture beneath. Even veiled, the copper tresses give off a sweet fragrance of summer roses. Lively vitality and gracious regality war for supremacy in her proud bearing. No older than her late teens, she stands taller than most maidens at six-foot in height. Despite this, there is a fragile delicacy to her that is as purely feminine as the youthful curves of her body.
Allies and Foes
I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing. (Agatha Christie)
Claude Monet, 1882 Cliff Walk at Pourville

House Mallister |
This is my House. No matter what other House I marry into, I will ALWAYS be a Mallister. |
 |
Lord Patrek Mallister: |
I love my cousin dearly but worry for him. He had so much dumped unexpectedly upon his young shoulders. He is fine boy though and I know that he will be a fine man and lead our House forward with wisdom and excellent leadership. |

Lord Calven Mallister: |
My Uncle Calven is one of the more charming members of our family, even though the bit about his mistress is rather scandalous. I love him very much and trust that he will help guide cousin Patrek wisely. |
 |
Lord Hale and Lady Aduilana Mallister: |
I know it is a naive sentiment, but my parents are the most wonderful people in the whole word. I am not ashamed to admit that I am a Daddy's girl and though my lady mother is a very formidable figure, I will always run to her knowing that she is always my staunchest supporter. |
 |
Ser Martyn Mallister: |
My brother is one of the people that I trust most in this world. His letters while he was a squire brought the world to me when I was stuck at home in bed. I love him more than just about anyone else in the world. While I think he is making a huge mistake is his choice of ladies, I see that he is happy and thus try very hard to bite my tongue and just be there for him. Lately though, he hasn't been here when I have needed someone to talk to and it hurts a bit but there is not much I can do. He is older, a man, and has his other duties and interests. |
 |
Ser Kamron Mallister: |
I love my cousin like a brother. I will always be grateful for his courage in saving my brother's life, and ever value his wisdom and advice. It is funny though, like me he is a person of action more than thought. Perhaps that is one reason we understand each other so well. I am so very excited about his choice of brides, though I will say it was quite obvious that they would be well matched as soon as they met. |
 |
Lady NedraMallister: |
Cousin Neddie is such fun! I adore her and was so glad when she came to be with the rest of us here at Terrick's Roost. I do worry about her sometimes and am concerned that one day she may unwittingly damage her reputation, for she is not quite so proper or reserved as a lady should be…much less a Mallister lady. |
 |
House Erenford |
The Erenfords are my new family. Though I always will remain a Mallister, they are kind and have warmly welcomed me to their House. I am grateful, not many girls are as blessed by the Seven as I. |
 |
Lord Ser Elrick Otto Erenford: |
There are not words enough to say how wonderful Otto is. I love him with all my heart and the Seven have blessed me that I belong to him and am his wife. |
