Veralee and he siblings lost her mother at a young age. Alma-Louise was just a baby at the time.Due to the lack of femininity in Vera's life she became very close to a her friends and hand maiden, they were like second family. A year later there father took a new wife.Catherine. She was an interesting women, very strange. she tampered with poisons and was good at manipulating. She we was funny and iconic in Vera's eyes despite being mean Vera actually loved her Catherine grew a soft spot for her in her own cruel way.
Only mere Months after the marriage did Catherine fall pregnant with a child who was soon to be names Thomas-Dean. After a few years Catherine and Cyril fell out of love but decided to put on a facade for the youngest son as it was what seemed best.Soon Cyril became obsessed with perfecting his daughters.Vera always did her best, because she quite clearly remember fathers outbursts from when she was younger. She use to call it his 'bad days'. The more he had them the more Vera gave in because there are certain lines he has crossed before and she is afraid of it happening again. Alma-Louise, was not very cooperative. She was quite mischievous and very impulsive. Melvin, however was gone most the time. Being the oldest fed him to much ego and he developed a tendency huge jerk mostly but always polite to family (mostly).
As time passed Veralee's bestfriends Desdemona got married they thanked both old gods and new that she was happy with a dream husband every one dreamt of. From than on contact with Des got hard as she now stayed in winterfell. It was like a wake up call for everyone in their group.
Lillian was quite rebellious and had a very sharp tongue (which would no bought one day catch up to her ). thank gods for her brother who would protect her to death and constantly got her out of trouble fore it. Thats what encouraged her to continue such a life style knowing she could hide behind her brother. It gave her a courage we all wish we had and she could use it to defend us always.
Sybell was quite the opposite of Lillian she was a proper lady. Perfect even. She was beautiful and the ideal idea of a wife, Although she never wanted to to get married she couldn't help but be a goody to shoes and please most people. she has a fierce side that occasionally visits. She is the most mature of their group and often is asked for advice.
Desdemona is like a hybrid of the two. She can be quite to a prude to arseholes but does it in elegance and often throws insults in a mannered way. It creates this next level bitch level. Although she is low on patience she always there for her loved ones.
Nadia, is something else entirely she is really knows how to make things fun and is quite awkward in a sarcastic way. she Adds that comedic sense of humour and loves parties and all the rich people thing. She cares a lot about her appearance but not in an insecure way.
It is these great opposites that attract to much such a close group as they all each have something another could use more of. they all met around the age of 6 and could not be separated since.

After the dragon Dance and Rhaenyra's victory; There were still rebels. To prevent fighting and causing more bloodshed, The queen decided it's finally time to play thing politically. During the dragon dance her eldest son Jacaerys had made powerful allies with Cregan Stark and gained the north's support.Despite not having a marriage to concealing the arrangement like it should be done; The stark only had a bastard sister which would worsen Jace's situation. Either way, they had to make do of that they had since the Starks took up a spot on the major 7s. This made got rid of one problem atleast. Now there was Essos. It was a harder issue to deal with as it was overseas. But than something far to perfect happened. A new house on the Major 7s just happened to be ones with enough power and allies to help tame Essos. That house was none other that Blackburn. Upon doing some research the Queen found out That Lord Blackburn does have a daughter to close to Jacaerys's age. It really was Perfect. Rhaenyra sent a personal raven discussing a betrothal agreement.
A few weeks later another letter was sent back, agreeing to it. This was a miracle. The next step was to talk to Rhaenys about Jace and Bela's marriage. After some negotiation they decided that Lucerys and Rheana were just as good if not a better match.
In the weeks to come the Queen sent letter back and forth constantly with Lord Blackburn finalising the wedding and more.Eventually it was decided that the Targaryens were to come to Essos to meet them (and also for a political reasons to turn the wind in their favour)
