Leora Redhawk

Leora Redhawk is a septa and the wife of Horus Redhawk. She took her vows after their were married much to the chagrin of her husband. She is the daughter of Arthur Redhawk and niece of Lord Olyvar Redhawk.

Appearance and Character
Leora's blank or disdainful expression makes her look less appealing that she truly is. She could be comely if she only smiled, but Leora never does. She was always a serious girl and became even more so when her father died while attempting to defeat the Fox in 315 AC. Leora has slightly wavy black hair that falls past her shoulders, but lately she wears it beneath her traditional septa's headdress. She is pale of skin and has green eyes, both features of which she acquired from her mother, Lady Lia Dunn. Leora is of an average height but is thin, narrow of hips and flat of chest. She has, of late, been wearing rough spun wool dresses embroidered with the Seven Pointed Star.

History
Leora Redhawk is the only child of Arthur Redhawk and Lia Dunn. He parents marriage was loveless and so was her upbringing. By the age of six she was already jaded and disagreeable, which only further isolated her from her family. After her father's death four years ago, Leora's mother took a paramour and returned to the Reach where House Dunn's holdings were. Leora was not permitted to leave as Olyvar wished to potentially marry the girl of five-and-ten to a noble house in order to secure alliances through marriage. Unfortunately, every suitor came away unimpressed by the girls makeup and attitude. As she aged, Lord Olyvar gave up on the idea of marrying her properly, and instead brokered a deal with a fine swordsman in order to acquire his services. And so, Ser Horus Stoneguard married Leora in a matriarchal marriage. Horus took Leora's name, and their children would be Redhawks. And yet, two days before the marriage, Leora had said the vows of the Seven to become a septa. She refused the bedding ceremony, and the wandering Septon agreed it was only proper that a woman of the Faith not be taken by a mortal man. Now, she runs the small local sept at the Perch.

Strangely, she and Lord Olyvar have began to become close, as the lord renews his faith in the Seven under the tutelage of his young niece.
