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.

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

harry potter - Did Dolores Umbridge Have Any Association with Voldemort (or Death Eaters) before His Return?

I noticed that Dolores Umbridge was born during the first Wizarding War, so it's very likely she wasn't a Death Eater then (but she is pretty evil -- who knows?). After that Voldemort was not around in a way that could affect many people, and most wouldn't know he was planning to rise again. During that time, and up through Voldemort's return (in Goblet of Fire ), did Umbridge have any connection with the Death Eaters or with Voldemort? Was she doing what she did on her own, or was it because of an association with Voldemort or his allies? Answer Dolores Umbridge was definitely not a good person. However, as Sirius points out, "the world isn't split into good people and Death Eaters". Remember that he also says that he doesn't believe Umbridge to be a Death Eater, but that she's evil enough (or something like that). I think there are two strong reasons to believe that: Umbridge was proud to do everything according to the law, except when she trie...

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.

Which Doctor Who works are canon?

I have been watching a Doctor Who documentary and they mentioned that Paul McGann did audio stories so he wasn't just a one-hit Doctor (and that there are novels featuring his Doctor as well). My question is: is Doctor Who canon just the show, or is it like Star Wars where some books and audios are canon and some are not? The documentary also shows that before 2005 they did audio stories where the Doctor is female and obviously that cannot be — not the female part, but the show doesn't count any female Doctors in episodes like The Day of the Doctor . Answer Nothing, and also everything The definitive piece of writing on Doctor Who canon is this blog post by writer Paul Cornell . I'm essentially going to be summarizing his post here, much less eloquently, but one section I want to quote directly is this: Nobody at the BBC has ever uttered a pronouncement about what is and isn't canonical. (As I'm sure they'd put it, being such enthusiasts for good grammar.) Be...
