Tyene Sand is the bastard daughter of Prince Oberyn Martell and a septa. She is one of the infamous Sand Snakes.

Character and Appearance

Tyene is regarded as treacherous, while maintaining a sweet and pious persona. Areo Hotah thinks Tyene looks as sweet as summer strawberries. She is fair, with golden hair, blue eyes and an almost otherworldly innocence about her.[1] She has soft pale hands but they are as deadly as Obara's callused ones, if not more so. She shares her father's knowledge of poisons and it is her chosen weapon.

History

When Tyene was in the cradle her mother read to her from the Seven-Pointed Star. Princess Arianne Martell once crossed the Mander with three of the Sand Snakes to visit Tyene's mother.[2]

Tyene and Arianne once fled Sunspear to try to marry Arianne to Willas Tyrell at Highgarden, but they were caught by Tyene's father, Oberyn Martell, at Vaith.[3]

Recent Events

A Feast for Crows

Tyene comes to see Prince Doran Martell in Sunspear to demand vengeance for her slain father. After Doran states that he will think about her proposal, she asks for his blessing. After he lays his hand on her head, Maester Caleotte searches for scratches and puncture marks, demonstrating a fear of her knowledge of poisons.

Shortly thereafter, Tyene and her sisters are detained by Doran's guards, as a gesture of good will towards King's Landing.[1]

A Dance with Dragons

Tyene and her sisters are released and are present at the feast when Ser Balon Swann presents the head of Gregor Clegane to Prince Doran. She refuses to drink when Ricasso raises a toast to King Tommen Baratheon. Doran is sending Tyene (disguised as a septa) to King's Landing to try and befriend the new High Septon.[4]

"White suits my colouring. I look so ... pure." [4]

Quotes about Tyene

She rose as they entered, dressed in a clinging gown of pale blue samite with sleeves of Myrish lace that made her look as innocent as the Maid herself. In one hand was a piece of embroidery she had been working on, in the other a pair of golden needles. Her hair was gold as well, and her eyes were deep blue pools . . . and yet somehow they reminded the captain of her father's eyes. [5]


Her gown was cream and green, with long lace sleeves, so modest and so innocent that any man who loked at her might think her the most chaste of maids. [4]
