Garin's mother was the mother of Garin and the wet nurse of Princess Arianne Martell.[1]

History

[edit]

According to Garin, his mother was the best midwife in Westeros, while his father could cure warts.[1] Garin was born in Dorne,[2] and was named after Prince Garin the Great, a famous leader of the Rhoynar.[1]

She was also the wet nurse of Princess Arianne Martell, thus making her a milk-brother to Garin, who has been a close friend and companion to her since their early childhood.[1][3] Following her mother's death, Garin became a orphan of the Greenblood.[1]

Quotes

[edit]

Arianne: They live on boats, and pole them up and down the Greenblood and its vassals, fishing and picking fruit and doing whatever work needs doing.
Garin: Aye, and we sing and play and dance on water, and know much and more of healing. My mother is the best midwife in Westeros, and my father can cure warts.[1]
