cersei lannister

Cersei is a strikingly beautiful woman with curly golden hair, emerald green eyes, fair skin, and a slender, graceful figure. When they were children, Cersei and her twin brother, Jaime, looked so alike not even their father, Tywin, could tell them apart. As adults, they still significantly resemble each other. The queen's fine gowns include one of sea-green silk trimmed with pale Myrish lace; one of black silk with red rubies sown into the bodice; a low-cut gown of deep green velvet; a snowy white linen gown with sleeves lined with gold satin; a cloth-of-gold gown slashed in burgundy velvet; a gown with stripes of green satin and black velvet with black Myrish lace above the bodice; a jade-green gown with sleeves of silver Myrish lace; and a white gown slashed with cloth-of-gold. When Cersei wants to be discreet, however, she dresses in hunting green with leather boots and a brown cloak. Cersei's jewelry includes a golden ring with a large emerald, a necklace of diamonds and emeralds, and a golden necklace with a large emerald. Her jeweled tiara is also decorated with emeralds. Cersei's huge royal wheelhouse is a double-decked carriage of oiled oak and gilded metal, and the queen has an ornate barge located at the harbor of King's Landing. Cersei is fond of Arbor gold.

Cersei is willful, ambitious, and according to her brother Tyrion Lannister, has a certain low cunning. She is hungry and greedy for power. Cersei believes herself to be subtle and politically astute. She hates being excluded from power on account of her gender and resents the customs and conventions put on her because she is female. She thinks of herself as a female version of her father, and feels slighted when people do not obey her commands as they would have done for Lord Tywin, but instead give her their counsel, or disagree with her, which she faults on her gender. Cersei is impatient, and never forgets a slight, whether real or imagined. She considers caution to be cowardice and disagreement for defiance. Her quick temper and her easily wounded pride frequently lead her to make rash decisions, and she rarely considers what unintended consequences her actions might have. She does not shy away from using sex as a weapon.

Queen Cersei Lannister is the only daughter and eldest child of Lord Tywin Lannister of Casterly Rock and his wife, Lady Joanna Lannister. She is the twin of her younger brother, Ser Jaime Lannister. After Robert's Rebellion, Cersei married King Robert I Baratheon and became Queen of the Seven Kingdoms. She is the mother of Prince Joffrey, Princess Myrcella, and Prince Tommen of House Baratheon of King's Landing.
