Tyene is the bastard daughter of Oberyn Martell, born 276 AC.
History: When Tyene was in the cradle her mother, a septa, read to her from The Seven-Pointed Star. Tyene spent her youth at the Water Gardens with her cousin, Princess Arianne Martell, and the two grew as close as sisters, learning to read, ride, and dance together. They have shared meals, jewelry, beds, and onetime a flagon of wine stolen by Arianne. The two would have lost their virginity together to Andrey Dalt as well, but he was premature in the encounter. Arianne once crossed the Mander with three of the Sand Snakes to visit Tyene's mother. Tyene and Arianne once fled Sunspear to try to marry Arianne to Willas Tyrell at Highgarden, but they were caught by Tyene's father, Oberyn Martell, at Vaith. Oberyn also once brought Tyene with Arianne and Sarella Sand to Sandstone, where he showed Tyene how to milk vipers for their venom.
Doran Martell, Prince of Dorne, kept a marriage pact hidden from Arianne because he feared his daughter would not have kept it a secret from Tyene, who would then have informed her sisters, Obara and Nymeria.
Recent Events: Tyene waits for Doran Martell, Prince of Dorne, in the throne room of Sunspear to demand vengeance for her father, Oberyn Martell, who was slain by Ser Gregor Clegane in King's Landing. She works on an embroidery of Oberyn armored in red atop a sand steed.[2]
Nymeria Sand wants Tyene to aid her in assassinating Lord Tywin Lannister, Queen Regent Cersei Lannister, Ser Jaime Lannister, and King Tommen I Baratheon. Tyene instead wants to crown Tommen's sister, Princess Myrcella Baratheon, as queen, and if the Lannisters and Tyrells invade Dorne they would then be slain in the Dornish mountains and sands. After Doran states that he will think about her proposal, Tyene asks for his blessing. After he lays his hand on her head, Maester Caleotte searches for scratches and puncture marks, demonstrating a fear of her knowledge of poisons.
Doran has Areo Hotah detain Tyene and her sisters as a gesture of goodwill towards Tommen's court. Tyene, Nym, and Obara are detained in the Spear Tower of Sunspear, as is Princess Arianne Martell after her own plot to crown Myrcella is foiled by Areo.
Tyene, her sisters, and Arianne are released from their cells in the Spear Tower and are present at the feast when Ser Balon Swann presents the Mountain's skull to Doran. She refuses to drink when Ricasso raises a toast to King Tommen.
Doran tasks Nymeria with returning Mycella to King's Landing and joining the small council. Tyene is to accompany her sister and, disguised as a septum, gain the confidence of the High Sparrow.
