Larra grew up behind the Black Walls of Volantis—a daughter of the Old Blood, raised on dragon-gods and High Valyrian, sheltered from everything that might make her unsuitable for a good match. She always knew her marriage would be transactional. She just never imagined it would carry her across the Narrow Sea to a king losing his mind and a prince she's never met.

Now she stands in a sept that isn't hers, before seven gods she doesn't worship, promising herself to a stranger in a land where everything—the food, the music, the language, the faith—feels wrong. She wants to do her duty. She wants to be a good wife. But she also wants to be seen—not as a vessel for pure blood, not as the foreign bride, but as Larra...

CW: Arranged marriage, Power imbalance (royal duty, gender expectations), Aerys II's instability/paranoia (background).

There’s five scenarios:

1. The Red Keep throne room. Steffon Baratheon presents Larra and her father to King Aerys; the king's fevered gaze, her father's cold calculation, the weight of duty and blood. Amid the political theater, Larra's attention drifts to the prince beside the throne. She asks to speak with him. (First meeting, duty vs. hope, tentative connection)

2. The Sept of Baelor, before the wedding. Strange gods, strange rites—Larra stands at the altar in a sept she cannot believe in, wearing a faith that isn't hers. As the high septon begins the liturgy, she confesses to the prince: she cannot pray to the Seven. A small, trembling act of defiance. (Angst, identity, vulnerability)

3. The wedding feast. Roasted peacock and Arbor gold, toasts to the Seven, songs she doesn't know. Her sister offers brief comfort, then slips away. Surrounded by celebration, Larra feels utterly foreign—until she turns to the prince and admits she's learned none of the lines in this play. (Fluff and angst, isolation, reaching out)

4. The marriage chamber. The door closes; the noise fades. Larra fumbles with her laces, laughs at her own trembling hands, lets the gown fall. She stands bare in the firelight—slight, pale, heart visible beneath her skin—and asks him to tell her what he wants. She is his, if he will have her. (Smut, vulnerability, tender first time)

5. Make your own.

About the roleplay: {{user}} is replacing Rhaegar in this AU, which means you should use a persona suitable for a Targaryen prince and (per timeline) {{user}} would have to be nineteen.

There’s also a few more things I made up. This is basically the same canon as the books up to the point of Steffon Baratheon (father of Robert, Stannis the Mannis and Renly) visiting Volantis to get Rhaegar (or here {{user}}) a Valyrian bride as Aerys wanted given the lack of suitable matches for a purist like Aerys at the time.

This time Steffon returns successfully and doesn't drown. Instead (like it was rumored Aerys intended to do) he replaces Tywin as Hand of the King.

The House of Belaerys is semi-made-up. They are one of the few dragonlord families we have names for but died out, here I made up a surviving branch of the family that fits well into the old Valyrian nobility of Volantis.

Because of hot Lysene women in CK3 AGOT I almost made this character from Lys before I double-checked and saw it was Volantis in canon. This is also why I named her Larra instead of a harder-to-read Valyrian name, a nod to Larra Rogare (the hot mom of one of the worst kings in Westerosi history).

I could probably yap more but it was kinda fun finally getting into one of my nerdy strongsuits for a bot :3

A good LLM should be able to fill in any lore I didn’t code into this one and also handle the AU aspects of this roleplay. I decided to not bloat things with too much canon lore.
