Appearance and Character

Sarella has a light-brown skin.[4]

Sarella has a reputation for insatiable curiosity.[5][6] She loves Oldtown.[2]

History

Sarella is Prince Oberyn Martell's fourth daughter. Her mother, the trader captain of the Feathered Kiss,[3] comes from the Summer Isles.[7]

Sarella sometimes played with her cousin, Princess Arianne Martell, at the Water Gardens, although Arianne was always closer to Sarella's half-sister, Tyene Sand.[6]

Sarella once visited the abandoned holdfast Shandystone with her father, Tyene, and Arianne. Interested in the history of the ruins, Sarella turned over rocks and brushed sand off its mosaics.[5]

Doran: Unless she returns to Dorne, there's naught I can do about Sarella save pray that she shows more sense than her sisters. Leave her to her... game.[2]
