Appearance

Although not accounted as a beautiful woman, she is regarded as attractive and eye-catching, with an exotic, sensuous flair.

Biography

Ellaria is referred to as worshiping a Lysene love goddess, and was also described by Oberyn as being sexually adventurous and potentially bisexual.

Ellaria accompanied Oberyn to Kings Landing when Oberyn took the seat on the Small Council offered to Prince Doran, and was a guest at the wedding of Joffrey Lannister and Margaery Tyrell. She was also present at Tyrion Lannister's trial by combat, and witnessed Oberyn's brutal death.

After Oberyn's death, Ellaria escorted his remains back to Dorne. She was secluded in the Water Gardens with her daughters by Prince Doran after the arrest of the eldest Sand Snakes, to prevent them being used in the plots of others.
