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.

futurama - How much time is lost in 'Time Keeps on Slippin''

In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.

aliens - Interstellar Zoo story

I vaguely remember this story from my childhood: it was about an interstellar zoo that came to Earth with lots of bizarre and unusual species, and humans would file through and gape at all the crazy looking creatures from other planets. The twist came at the end when the perspective shifted to the other side of the bars and we discovered that the "creatures" were traveling through space on a kind of safari. They thought they were the visitors and we were the animals. Neither side knew that the other side thought they were the zoo creatures. Answer Got it. Zoo, by Edward D. Hoch. Published in 1958.

harry potter - What is the difference between Diffindo and Sectumsempra?

In the Harry Potter books, Diffindo is called the 'Severing Charm' and it’s most commonly used to cut ropes and the like. However, in the last book Hermione uses it on Ron but misses, creating a 'slash in his jeans' and his knee gets cut, causing him to 'roar in pain'. We've only seen Sectumsempra used once on screen when Harry directly uses it on Malfoy in the sixth book, but there it's mentioned that he is 'waving his wand wildly'. Wouldn't Diffindo, if used in such a fashion also cause a similar effect? Similarly, if it was able to cut Ron, it would also be able to, say, chop off an ear (George's)? In that case, how are these two spells different, except for Sectumsempra seemingly used exclusively to hurt humans? Answer While Diffindo and Sectumsempra both can be countered by other spells, Diffindo is far more easily countered. Reparo, a relatively common spell, can completely reverse its effect when used once. “He pulled the old cop...

harry potter - How could Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra?

I want to be very careful about how I ask this question – I am not asking How did Voldemort die? [CLOSED] Below the text is the relevant passages from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows if anyone wants to review them (I'm sorry for the amount of text). How did Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra and kill Voldemort? I feel the reason Harry's Expelliarmus overpowered Voldemort's Avada Kedavra curse has to do with who was master of the Elder Wand and how the Elder Wand works. I've always had trouble understanding fully how the Elder Wand works, though. How much did the fact that Voldemort never truly won or mastered the Elder Wand factor into how Expelliarmus reacted to Avada Kedavra and caused Avada Kedavra to rebound and kill Voldemort? An answer based in book canon would be especially welcome, but any canon source really is fine. Harry heard the high voice shriek as he, too, yelled his best hope to the heavens, pointing Draco’s wand: ‘ Avada Kedavra !’ ‘ Expelliarmus !...
