Recent Events
A Storm of Swords
Taena accompanies her husband, Lord Orton Merryweather, to King's Landing when Margaery Tyrell is betrothed to King Joffrey I Baratheon.[8] She provocatively dances at the wedding feast of Sansa Stark.[5] Sansa considers her a sultry black-eyed beauty.[8]
Taena is called as a witness for the prosecution in the trial of Tyrion Lannister for the death of King Joffrey. She testifies that she saw Tyrion drop something into the wedding chalice during Joffrey's wedding feast.[9]
A Feast for Crows
During the funeral of Lord Tywin Lannister, Taena catches the eye of Queen regent Cersei Lannister.[10] She approaches Cersei during the wedding of Tommen I Baratheon and Margaery, confiding in Cersei and attempting to get into her good graces. She reveals that Cersei's maid Senelle is spying on her for Margaery.[6] Taena allies herself with Cersei, feeding the queen information[1][11][12] and sharing her bed on occasion.[13] Taena admits that she had a secret lover, a Myrish captain with a scar on his face.[1]
After Cersei's imprisonment by the Faith of the Seven, Taena and her husband abandon King's Landing and flee to Longtable. Cersei is relieved to learn from Qyburn of the Merryweathers' departure, since Taena is privy to much incriminating information, which could be used against her by her accusers of the newly zealous and militant Faith.[14] Cersei assumes she need not fear that her former bedmaid and confidant would betray her under interrogation or torture.

Quotes
The Myrish woman was too beautiful by half; long-legged and full-breasted, with smooth olive skin, ripe lips, huge dark eyes, and thick black hair that always looked as if she'd just come from bed. She even smells of sin, like some exotic lotus.[6]
—thoughts of Cersei Lannister
Jaime could not help but notice the way the Myrish woman moved her hips as she walked. Every step is a seduction.[7]
