game of thrones - Is there any known bastard daughter in Westeros?


In the realm there are good number of bastard sons (most famous being Jon Snow and Ramsay) but I did not observe any bastard daughters. Is there any bastard daughter mentioned in the story till now?



Answer



Many bastard daughters are mentioned in the story. The nomenclature rules are same as the ones used for naming their male counterparts i.e. Stone, Hill, Pyke, Snow, Sand, Rivers and Waters. Some of the female bastards of aristocrats are following:


Current Timeline



Following female bastards are mentioned for on-going timeline in ASOIAF.




  1. Mya Stone is bastard daughter of Robert Baratheon.


    She was fathered on a common woman by Robert during his teenage in Vale. Robert liked to spend time with her when she was a child even after he broke off with her Mother.


    Mya has inherited the traditional Baratheon black hair, blue eyes and attractive jaw from her father. She now serves Lords of Vale, specifically House Royce.




  2. Joy Hill is a bastard of Gerion Lannister who was a brother to Lord Tywin Lannister. Physical description is not given, most likely a blonde like her father.





  3. Sand Snakes is a name given to Bastard daughters of Prince Oberyn Martell of Dorne. All of them have inherited looks from their mothers along with Oberyn's widowpeak.




  4. Barra Waters was a bastard of King Robert Baratheon. She was murdered by Allar deem. She resembled her half sister Mya Stone so that means she got the same typical Baratheon features from Robert.




  5. Ellaria Sand is bastard daughter of Lord Harmen Uller of Hellholt. She was paramour of Prince Oberyn Martell of Dorne.





  6. Falia Flowers is bastard daughter of Lord Humfrey Hewett. She became paramour of Euron Greyjoy during one of his raids on Reach.




  7. A prostitute Bella claims to be a bastard of King Robert Baratheon. She has the Baratheon black hair which gives credence to her claim. Not to mention the fact that Robert Baratheon did spend some time in brothels of her town during Battle of the Bells & Robert was never shy when it came to making babies.





Historical Bastards


Following female bastards were mentioned who existed before the current timeline of events:





  1. Alys Rivers, a bastard from Riverlands, was paramour of Prince Aemond Targaryen.




  2. Lynora Hill, A bastard daughter of Jason Lannister who was brother of Lord Tytos Lannister. Physical description unavailable. Most likely a blonde like her father.




  3. Alysanne Waters was a bastard daughter of Prince Aegon Targaryen (Later King Aegon IV). She was sent off to become a Septa by her grandfather King Viserys II Targaryen.





  4. Lily Waters was a bastard daughter of Prince Aegon Targaryen (Later King Aegon IV). She was sent off to become a Septa by her grandfather King Viserys II Targaryen.

  9. Princess Mya "Rivers" Targaryen was a legitimized bastard daughter of Lady Melissa Blackwood and King Aegon IV.




  10. Princess Gwenys "Rivers" Targaryen was another legitimized bastard daughter of Lady Melissa Blackwood and King Aegon IV.





  11. Princess Shiera "Seastar" Targaryen was legitimized bastard daughter of King Aegon IV and Serenei of Lys. She inherited the Valyrian looks of her parents and was one of the reason for enmity between her half brothers Brynden Bloodraven and Aegor Bittersteel.




  12. As kindly pointed out by tchrist, I had missed one bastard daughter from the list. Jeyne Waters was bastard daughter of Lord Alyn "Oakenfist" Velaryon and Princess Elaena Targaryen.

Was the "pure soul" of Harry's what had really hurt Voldemort?

In the Order of the Phoenix, Voldemort possesses Harry, and it hurts. Greatly. I think that Dumbledore explained that it was because Voldemort's rotten soul was incapable of assimilating Harry's pure soul, that Voldemort didn't understand the love and friendship etc that Harry has in his heart. But, I think it was a lie. Remember that in Deathly Hallows, while looking for information regarding Horcruxes, it is discovered that it is in fact possible to merge a soul fragment back, but that the process was extremely painful. Now then, if Voldemort tried to possess Harry, and Harry had a fragment of Voldemort's soul, I think that it could have been the true cause of Voldemort's pain: the fact of having his soul so close of another fragment. I think that Dumbledore knew that fact, but had to lie to Harry because it was inappropriate to let him know that he had one of Voldemort's soul fragments at the moment. Is that right? Or was it truly the pure soul of Harry's...

languages - Do we ever see written English in the Star Wars films?

In Empire Strikes Back , we see a transcription of what R2's beeps and bloops mean, but it's not English (sorry for the low quality, it's from the 2004 DVDs): I'd assume it's what Basic looks like when written, but is there some point in the the Star Wars films we see written English instead? (This sort of spun off from a discussion in How do people understand astromech droids? .) Answer At one point there was English but it has been phased out in subsequent versions of the films. Chris Gould at DVD Active did a comparison of all versions of each of the Star Wars films, and in his comparison of Episode 4 , there are a couple of screenshots showing how the power gauge for the Death Star tractor beam was changed. I imagine there are probably more to be found in his other comparisons but I haven't got around to reading those yet.

star wars - What "exactly" happens when someone turns to the Dark Side?

When I saw the original Star Wars saga as a kid, the concept of the Dark Side imprinted in me was quite simple. You did a bad thing, so you're a bad person so you go to the Dark Side and keep doing bad things. Now, obviously this doesn't hold true in reality. In my mind it is perfectly reasonable for Luke to kill the Emperor and Vader and then just flee the Death Star and rejoin the Alliance. After all they are at war, those are enemy officers that have captured him and are taunting him by threatening with death of all loved ones and the whole operation was intended to kill the Emperor anyway. The same would hold true for Anakin. He could have killed Mace Windu to save the Chancellor and Padme but that doesn't mean he's going to then go mad and kill all Jedis including children. It doesn't add up from a merely psychological point of view. He had a set of objectives and that made him want to keep the Chancellor alive (quite valid by the way, Mace Windu is quite clums...

star trek - Warning regarding forward saucer section in Nemesis?

In Star Trek: Nemesis , just before the Enterprise rams into the Scimitar, Picard sends a text message from his captain's chair arm pad to Troi — who is manning the helm in lieu of the crewman who was just blown out through what was once the view screen — indicating that she should put full impulse on standby. (Literally, if you watch the scene closely, Troi's console prefaces the order with "TXT MSG" !) My question is: Did Picard also somehow warn crew members in the forward saucer section about what was about to happen? The ramming of the Scimitar was a heat of the moment decision. Considering that he also resorted to calling the auto-destruct sequence shortly after (which ended up being offline), he probably was of the mindset that any losses would be acceptable in order to hault Shinzon's march to Earth. Still, I'm curious. Answer The original script indicates that he called for the crew to " brace for impact ". Whether that call (or the comma...
