Emnyra Waters

[b]Appearance:[/b]

Emnyra is a tall woman, standing around five feet and nine inches. She possesses a broad build, punctuated by hard muscle, whilst also having a noticeable softness to her figure. Those casting a fleeting glance at the Bastard of Claw Isle would likely notice her brawny arms, wide hips and rounded belly. 

Emnyra has the pale blonde hair and vibrant purple eyes that are typical of those with old Valyrian blood. The Bastard of Claw Isle has a love for the rich and decadent, regularly garbing herself in ornate jewellery and fine silks. 

A cruel smirk often pulls at Emnyra’s full lips. She has a plump face, with a double chin and a noticeable bulge in her nose, from where it healed at an awkward angle after breaking.

[b]Biography:[/b] 

It is said that black clouds blanketed Claw Isle on the day of Emnyra’s birth. From the moment she came into the world, screaming and covered in blood, the infamous Bastard of Claw Isle would bring darkness and misery wherever she went. 

Emnyra was conceived when Vakadlyn Celtigar, the notoriously twisted and deranged second son of House Celtigar, raped his niece, Rhaelythe, during a drunken mania in the aftermath of a Maiden’s Day feast. 

Rhaelythe claimed that she was assaulted by one of the Celtigar’s guardsmen, who was gelded and sent to the wall for her uncle’s crimes. 

In spite of the horrific circumstances surrounding the birth of Emnyra, Rhaelythe had grown tremendously fond of her baby, and insisted that the bastard child was raised alongside the legitimate Celtigar children. Due to the immense wealth of House Celtigar, even a lowly bastard such as Emnyra was afforded a life of splendour and luxury that most in the Seven Kingdoms would marvel at. 

Rhaelythe adored Emnyra, who could do no wrong in her eyes. The rest of House Celtigar were far less enamoured with the disobedient young girl. Her behaviour was erratic, and she was plagued by painful headaches which would make the already quarrelsome girl even more difficult to manage.

When Emnyra was seven, she was found beating a stable boy with a wooden club. When she was confronted, Emnyra claimed that the stable boy had stolen an apple from the bowl of fruit in her room. Rhaelythe Celtigar unquestionably believed her daughter’s story, but others were less convinced.

That was the first of many such incidents.

Mere weeks after assaulting the stable boy, Emnyra set her septa’s hair on fire, in retaliation to a vicious scolding. 

As Emnyra grew older and more indulged by her mother, her cruelty blossomed from mean-spirited pranks into pure sadism. 

Complaints of an overpowering, putrid stench lead the household guards to the decaying corpse of a Celtigar handmaiden, crudely hidden beneath Emnyra’s bed. Fearing a scandal, the death of the serving girl was publicly attributed to sickness.

The bastard of Claw Isle was eleven years old at the time. 

The excuses that Rhaelythe made for her daughter failed to placate the rest of House Celtigar, who were adamant that they could no longer indulge the obviously demented Emnyra. 

Ignoring Rhaelythe’s pleas for clemency, House Celtigar arranged for Emnyra to be sent to Old Town, where she would study to become a septa. 

Emnyra’s legitimate half-brother, Ulmond Celtigar, was dispatched to escort the Bastard of Claw Isle to Old Town, alongside two men-at-arms. The bodies of Ulmond and the two soldiers were found dead in the beds of a roadside tavern, less than a week after they had departed from Claw Isle. 

The Bastard of Claw Isle disappeared for a stretch of years, with no reputable stories of her whereabouts or exploits surfacing. House Celtigar would go on to claim that Emnyra and Ulmond had been killed by roving bandits whilst on their way to Old Town. 

When whispers of Emnyra Waters next arose, it was in the form of grotesque stories of an especially vicious woman with silver hair and purple eyes, who had become something of an outlandish spectacle in the Fighting Pits of Meereen. 

It appeared that Emnyra had made her way to Essos in the intervening years, amassing a not-trivial amount of fame and fortune as a pit fighter. No sooner had rumours of the Bastard of Claw Isle made their way back to House Celtigar, than Emnyra disappeared into the shadows once more. 

Emnyra Waters would next emerge serving as the right hand of the Old Mother, a pirate queen of great infamy and renown. Now in her elder years, the Old Mother did not fight as she once had, instead adopting a more directorial position within her fleet. 

At the Old Mother's command, Emnyra is more than eager to smash skulls, flay flesh, and inflict countless other atrocities upon those who displease the pirate queen. 

When the Old Mother and the rest of the Band of Nine came together, Emnyra Waters grew giddy with thoughts of returning to Westeros and taking vengeance against the family that had betrayed her.
