My grandmother was a wildling. She had ridden with two of the kings beyond the wall and had been as close to family, as Mance Rayder would ever have. She had been a beauty with hair kissed by fire, green eyes, a button nose and small bow shaped lips. She had many lovers who believed her to be lucky for her hair. Or so my father Ser Konwell told me. In his youth he had been a handsome knight under the banners of High Garden.

My grandmother had come to South by climbing the wall. She told my father, more like boasted that, she was the youngest wildling to climb the Wall. But she had a lover and ended up getting pregnant with my mother. She had fallen in love with the south and had no way of going back North of the Wall, so she went to Kings Landing.

She soon gave birth to my mother. My mother was a wild spirit. When my father was at a tournament in honor of Willis Tyrell, he said he had seen her in the crowd. He said she was a true beauty, with auburn colored hair, and blue eyes, and a cute button nose. That tournament was the only one he ever won and he named my mother his Queen of Love and Beauty. He said the blue winter roses made her eyes look like sparkling gems. Now that doesn't happen every day, a nobody, the daughter of a whore named the Queen of Love and Beauty.

That very day my father took my mother for his wife in the Sept. My mother miscarried two times before finally giving birth to me. The miscarriages left her weak and tired and so a few days after my birth, she died, leaving me as a reminder to my father of his wildling love. He says I look much like my mother; I have the same hair as though it was kissed by fire and the same button nose, but I look like my father too. I have his stormy blue eyes and freckles.

And so on my first day in this world my mother had me named after my grandmother, Aloe.
