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