The Merling Queen is a famous courtesan in Braavos.[1] Her given name is unknown.

Appearance and Character

The beautiful Merling Queen is never seen without her Mermaids, young maidens in the blush of their first flowering, to hold her hair and veil.[2] Like every Braavosi courtesan, she has her own barge, and servants to pole her through the canals of Braavos to her trysts.[2]

History

One of the Merling Queen's Mermaids drowned at some point.[3]
