A Dance with Dragons
Lemore is a crewmember of the Shy Maid, and educates Young Griff on the Faith of the Seven. During the ship's journey Tyrion Lannister enjoys watching her frequently bathing naked in the clean water of the river Rhoyne. He believe she was not always a septa, or at least not a chaste one; as she bathes Tyrion notices stretch marks on her belly, implying she has given birth at some point.[3]
When the Shy Maid reaches Volantis Lemore changes out of her white septa's robes and disguises herself as a merchant's daughter, as the city's main faith is R'hllor. While Tyrion has deduced Griff and Young Griff's true identities, he cannot figure out who Lemore is or why she travels with the others.[4]
Clad again in her septa's robes, Lemore accompanies Young Griff, actually Aegon Targaryen, to the Stormlands.[5]

Quotes about Lemore
Still, a curious man might wonder why some sellsword's whelp would need a soiled septa to instruct him in the Faith, or a chainless maester to tutor him in history and tongues.[6]
