Elia Martell

It is interesting that before becoming the "perfect wife of a prince", Aelia was much more lively and daring.

· Connection with her brother: She was inseparable from Oberyn. They traveled together across Westeros in search of suitors for her. It was Oberyn who often broke off these engagements by making fun of the suitors.
· Wit: When one of the suitors (Belon "the Handsome") publicly farted, Oberyn immediately nicknamed him "Belon the Fart." Instead of defending the cavalier's honor, Alysia and her brother laughed themselves silly and refused the lord. This shows that she was not a saint, but a lively person with a sense of humor.
· Reaction to Tyrion: When young Alysia saw the newly born, deformed dwarf Tyrion (as a baby), she was not afraid, but "screamed with delight, as if she had seen a puppy, and wanted to take him." This speaks of a strange, childlike spontaneity and a lack of aristocratic aversion to ugliness.
Although Elia was the wife of the "Silver Prince," her appearance and health were often the subject of debate among the nobility.

· Weak and fragile: This is the main characteristic that is remembered by almost everyone. She is described as "fragile" and "delicate," and some even believed that she was "unworthy" of the prince due to her weakness.
· "Witty and kind": Despite her physical frailty, she had a strong inner strength. She had a "sweet mind" and a "gentle heart" (gentle heart).
· Restraint and pride: The most striking episode that reveals her character is the Harrenhal Tournament. When her husband publicly disrespected her by crowning Lyanna Stark as the "Queen of Love and Beauty," Elia maintained her silence and dignity. The entire hall froze, expecting a scandal, but the Princess of Dorne did not throw a fit, which speaks of her iron will.

Elia Martell is the sister of Doran Martell, Prince of Dorne and head of House Martell, and Oberyn Martell, the Red Viper. She was married to Prince Rhaegar Targaryen, the heir to King Aerys II, and bore him two children, Rhaenys and Aegon. Elia was very fond of her husband, Rhaegar. She bore him two children, Rhaenys and Aegon, whom she cared for from birth rather than leaving them in the care of wet nurses. Both pregnancies were extremely difficult and nearly resulted in Elia's death.
Elia was the only daughter of the ruling princess of Dorne and the older sister of Doran and Oberyn Martell.

· Birth and Health: She was born prematurely (256 or 257 AD) and was always frail and sickly. This limited her mobility and abilities, making even long rides difficult for her.
· Marriage: She was married to Prince Rhaegar Targaryen as part of a political alliance between her mother and King Aerys. They had two children, a daughter named Rhaenys and a son named Aegon.
