Flame painter vs fumy7/26/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Val of the free folk is frightened of Shireen due to her greyscale scars, and tells Jon Snow that the child is "not clean" and should be killed or she will put others in danger. Īfter Alys Karstark marries Sigorn of the Thenns, Shireen dances with Ser Brus Buckler during the wedding feast. Shireen, Selyse, and Patchface are brought to Castle Black, where the girl is intrigued by the giant Wun Wun. At the Wall, he leaves Shireen at Eastwatch-by-the-Sea with her mother, while his army marches to Castle Black. Stannis's army and retinue travels from Dragonstone to the Wall to respond to the wildling threat. Alester is imprisoned for negotiating with Stannis's enemies without his approval. While attempting to bring peace between Stannis and King Joffrey I, Lord Alester Florent suggests that Shireen be betrothed to Joffrey's younger brother, Prince Tommen. Shireen, Edric, and Devan Seaworth learn from Maester Pylos. Davos Seaworth notes Shireen is much happier around Edric. She often plays with her bastard cousin, Edric Storm, in Aegon's Garden at Dragonstone, and grows very fond of him. With Stannis having declared himself King of Westeros, Shireen is now referred to as a princess. Later, Renly refers to this rumor about Shireen's parentage during his meeting with Stannis at Storm's End, causing great offense. The rumor, strongly supported by Cersei, is meant to be spread via prostitutes in Petyr's brothels, and with the help of Lord Varys through alehouses and pot-shops. He refers to them looking somewhat alike with their speckled, half-frozen faces, and also that the fool is close with the girl. These schemes make use of Shireen's looks: Tyrion proposes that Shireen's great-uncle, Ser Axell Florent, could be the father because she has big Florent ears, but Lord Petyr Baelish prevails with his suggestion that Patchface being the father of Shireen would make for a more juicy tale. In retaliation, the small council under Tyrion Lannister discusses schemes to spread rumors that Shireen is not Stannis's child, expecting that this would hurt Stannis's sense of honor. Stannis writes a letter to the lords of the Seven Kingdoms, informing them that Joffrey, Myrcella, and Tommen Baratheon are the offspring of incest between Queen Cersei Lannister and her brother, Ser Jaime Lannister. Ĭressen suggests to Stannis that Shireen be betrothed to Lord Robert Arryn and sent to the Eyrie to make an alliance with Lady Lysa Arryn, whom he thinks will want vengeance for Lord Jon Arryn's death, but Stannis is unsure of the idea. She is uncertain, as Melisandre has said the red comet is "dragonsbreath", and Cressen reassures her that it is just a comet and will soon be gone. Shireen tells Cressen about her nightmares that dragons are coming to eat her, and he tries to reassure her, saying that the stone dragons of Dragonstone can never come to life. Maester Cressen pities the sad-looking child, and has his assistant, Maester Pylos, show her the white raven that has arrived from the Citadel to announce the onset of autumn. Shireen is on Dragonstone with her father, Stannis, and mother, Selyse. Lord Renly Baratheon refers to Shireen as his brother Stannis's "ugly daughter". She is usually seen in the company of Patchface, their mad fool that she calls "Patches", though his ravings sometimes frighten her. Īs the daughter and heir of Stannis, Shireen resides in Dragonstone and is educated by Maester Cressen. Cressen, Dragonstone's maester, feels that her sadness is a mark of his failure. The disease almost killed her, and left her disfigured. Historyīorn at Dragonstone in 289 AC to Lord Stannis Baratheon and Lady Selyse Florent, Shireen contracted greyscale as an infant. She has suffered from nightmares since infancy. Greyscale has left half of her left cheek and most of her neck covered in cracked and flaking, grey and black stony skin. She has blue eyes, but inherited her father's square, jutting jaw, and her mother's large ears. Shireen is regarded as a sad, sweet, gentle child, but she is not considered pretty. When introduced in A Song of Ice and Fire, Shireen is nine years old. ![]()
