Appearance and Character

History
Sarella is Prince Oberyn Martell's fourth daughter. Her mother, the trader captain of Feathered Kiss,[3] comes from the Summer Isles.[6]
Sarella sometimes played with her cousin, Princess Arianne Martell, at the Water Gardens, although Arianne was always closer to Sarella's sister, Tyene Sand.[5]
Sarella once visited the abandoned holdfast Shandystone with her father, Tyene, and Arianne. Interested in the history of the ruins, Sarella turned over rocks and brushed sand off its mosaics.[4]

Theories
It is widely believed that Sarella is in disguise in Oldtown as the novice Alleras, studying for a maester's chain. The name Alleras is Sarella backwards, and Alleras ("the Sphinx") bears a resemblance to Oberyn Martell. Furthermore, disguising herself as a man to learn the secrets of the maesters would be in keeping with what is known of Sarella's character.[7]
