BIOGRAPHY
  cerenna dances to the tune of intrigue. perfectly, and with grace dripping from every precise movement.  the legacy of house lannister had always been certain, for it is quite the feat to be at the very forefront of public life whilst still operating in the shadows.  control must constantly be achieved twofold, after all.  but the little lady had never been close-minded, nor dim in any way — her family’s upbringing would simply made it impossible ! — and she recognises that power does not only come to those with titles.  her family had forged influence through the fire of sheer ambition and cunning, for it was gold that had made kings bow and show their begrudging deference, and the lions will continue to prance forwards with fearless aggression.
   so she accompanied her mother as hand to the king and became princess lucella targaryen’s lady-in-waiting , spending plenty of her time traversing the beautiful goldroad on horseback as early as she could.  throughout her childhood and teenage years ,  cerenna was perfectly happy to bridge the distance between her two homes ,  feeling herself the master of both ;  the unmistakable golden lioness of the rock ,  and a lovely pearl of the targaryen court .  the young lion knew enough not to be more beautiful and charming than princesses of the blood , but it certainly did not mean that she must lower herself for others !
oftentimes, when her mind thought of the rock she called her home , the gold that glittered and the power that pulsates from it - cerenna begrudgingly lifted her eyes at her beloved brother . she loved him so , the way pride and loyalty coloured all things that was tied to her blood , but heart-wrenching jealousy could not help but to heed its ugly head , whispering : what if you were sat atop the rock instead of your brother ? what if your cunning and ambition could be used to further your house with you yourself at the helm ? the intoxicating thought squeezed at her heart , and it was only through the harsh grips of loyalty did she wrestle her selfishness down in the name of the prosperity of her house . still , the young lion eyes could not help but to look back towards the rock during her journeys down goldenroad . . . . daring to dream a little of what could have been .
she steeled her heart and determinedly placed her ambitions elsewhere , no matter how much she wished it wasn't so .
   she was just twenty & five then, and might be considered far too old for some to be unmarried, but cerenna lannister isn’t just anyone.  she is the fairest flower of the west that will always remain out of reach, a feeling she enjoyed so much that the little lady had once considered staying unmarried for the rest of her life:  to be above the ownership of men and to be free from the thought of others dictating her life.  of course, cerenna could not believe of another name better than lannister, why would she ever trade a treasure for anything less?  but the rest of westeros, unfortunately, did not believe it to be so.  she must now sell the treasure of her family name for valryian blood, to start climbing and continue the noble tradition of house lannister; that is to remain as close as one could be to the iron throne.  despite having a glittering circle of friends and always placed at the very centre of the court of casterly rock, cerenna could count the true friends outside of her blood just in one hand. 
    ( she would insist that it would be beneficial, truly, to trust others so little ) 
  however, through fate or design, despite being the hand of the king lady lannisport has failed to secure a substantial royal marriage for either of her daughters, which only made cerenna tend to her grudges like embers of fire that will slowly become roaring flames.  becoming queen of the seven kingdoms have never felt so close, before it was ripped form her fingers —  at least in her mind !  but a marriage was planned and executed nonetheless, for cerenna and the house of marbrand — a loyal vassal with an impressive stronghold.  it did not make her a princess, but it one day would make the ruling lady of ashemark .  
  was it enough ?  certainly not. 
  despite it seeming so to some, cerenna lannister wasn’t heartless.  and when her new husband rode off one day with his hunting party and came back broken from a great fall  —  her heart broke when they found out that the fever he sustained from all the blood he lost refused to pass !  ( she did not love him, and perhaps never will, but he was a friend from her childhood that had been a more preferable husband than most )  even after a lavish wedding,  the young lion returned home to casterly rock just mere months after her departure to her new family.

in middle school during my Intense Greek Mythology Phase, Artemis was, as you can likely guess, my best girl. Iphigenia was my OTHER best girl. Yes at the same time.
The story of Iphigenia always gets to me when it's not presented as a story of Artemis being capricious and having arbitrary rules about where you can and can't hunt, but instead, making a point about war.
Artemis was, among other things--patron of hunting, wild places, the moon, singlehood--the protector of young girls. That's a really important aspect she was worshipped as: she protected girls and young women. But she was the one who demanded Agamemnon sacrifice his daughter in order for his fleet to be able to sail on for Troy.
There's no contradiction, though, when it's framed as, Artemis making Agamemnon face what he’s doing to the women and children of Troy. His children are not in danger. His son will not be thrown off the ramparts, his daughters will not be taken captive as sex slaves and dragged off to foreign lands, his wife will not have to watch her husband and brothers and children killed. Yet this is what he’s sailing off to Troy to inevitably do. That’s what happens in war. He’s going to go kill other people’s daughters; can he stand to do that to his own? As long as the answer is no—he can kill other people’s children, but not his own—he can’t sail off to war.
Which casts Artemis is a fascinating light, compared to the other gods of the Trojan War. The Trojan War is really a squabble of pride and insults within the Olympian family; Eris decided to cause problems on purpose, leaving Aphrodite smug and Hera and Athena snubbed, and all of this was kinda Zeus’s fault in the first place for not being able to keep it in his pants. And out of this fight mortal men were their game pieces and mortal cities their prizes in restoring their pride. And if hundreds of people die and hundred more lives are ruined, well, that’s what happens when gods fight. Mortals pay the price for gods’ whims and the gods move on in time and the mortals don’t and that’s how it is.
And women especially—Zeus wanted Leda, so he took her. Paris wanted Helen, so he took her. There’s a reason “the Trojan women” even since ancient times were the emblems of victims of a war they never wanted, never asked for, and never had a say in choosing, but was brought down on their heads anyway.
Artemis, in the way of gods, is still acting through human proxies. But it seems notable to me to cast her as the one god to look at the destruction the war is about to wreak on people, and challenge Agamemnon: are you ready to kill innocents? Kill children? Destroy families, leave grieving wives and mothers? Are you? Prove it.
It reminds me of that idea about nuclear codes, the concept of implanting the key in the heart of one of the Oval Office staffers who holds the briefcase, so the president would have to stab a man with a knife to get the key to launch the nukes. “That’s horrible!,” it’s said the response was. “If he had to do that, he might never press the button!” And it’s interesting to see Artemis offering Agamemnon the same choice. You want to burn Troy? Kill your own daughter first. Show me you understand what it means that you’re about to do.

"'think of the children' always gets support unless what you're thinking about is leaving them with a better world. Somehow, we never need to think of the children when we're talking about climate change, or preventing pandemic diseases, or anything else that costs money. But here we are." - Unbreakable by Mira Grant.
