Name: Ser Loras Tyrell
Age: 23
Place of Birth: Highgarden
Current Place of Residence:
House: House Tyrell
Family:
Mace Tyrell (Father)
Alerie Hightower (Mother)
Willas Tyrell (Older Brother)
Garlan Tyrell (Older Brother)
Margaery Tyrell (Younger sister)
Appearance:
Garb: Loras is considered to be highly ostentatious and will usually be seen in attire to prove it. Adorned in the finest silks and linens his favoured colours are the green and yellow of his House but he shall not ruin a good outfit by forcing the colours of Tyrell into it.
Height: 5'11
Weight: 200 lbs
Personality: Ser Loras is so Tyrell he pisses rosewater ~ Cersei Lannister
At first glance one would think Loras Tyrell to be the perfect Knight, he is charming and honourable, noble and virtuous. Well liked among the courts for his courage, honour and charms ways and beloved by the smallfolk for his courteous ways. He even has a touch of humility and appreciates a good deed as can be seen when he was saved from Gregor by Sandor during the Hand's Tourney and Ser Loras forfeited the final to declare Sandor the Champion.
There is another side to Loras however, he can be short tempered and impetuous. Much of his charm towards the womanfolk is a cover for his secret fondness for men. At tourney's Loras will often gift a maiden with a rose, a seemingly charming act. It is all a feint however and Loras generally doesn't remember the maid.
Likes:
Dislikes:
Weapons: Loras's weapon of choice is a masterfully crafted long sword. The weapon is typical of weapon's wielded by the Rose Lords of Highgarden in that the hilt is green and wrapped in a brown leather. The blade itself bears the appearance of vine's of gold running up half its length. The long sword is usually matched with a shield bearing Loras's personal vigil, three golden roses on a field of green.
Armour: Not since Rhaegar Targaryen wore a suit encrusted with rubies has Westeros seen such an over the top suit of plate. "The Knight of Flowers" famous armour shines almost like a mirror and is heavily decorated with the appearance of flowers and vines.
Skills:
Knight: Ser Loras Tyrell is one of the most celebrated Knights in the Seven Kingdoms, noteworthy for his prowess both on the battlefield and at the Tourney's. While his primary arms are a longsword and shield (if perhaps most famous for his use of a lance) he is known by men with a knowledge of such things to use axes, and morning-stars to deadly effect. Generally considered to be the finest Knight of the Reach, he himself would claim to be only second best, naming his brother Garlan is superior. He is also a noteworthy Commander with a mind for strategy.
Charming: Ser Loras Tyrell is a very popular individual amongst both commonfolk and the courts. He has cultivated something of a talent for charming people and acting in such a manner as to get people excited by his presence, as a certain Sansa Stark fell victim too. He usually covers up his trysts by claiming he is going somewhere private to pray.
Weaknesses:
Lies with men: Ser Loras Tyrell has a preference for men, a fact known by a very small number of individuals. If this became public knowledge, Ser Loras Tyrell would be ruined.
Easy to manipulate: Although not a fool, Loras is short tempered and impetuous and it has been seen that those with a sufficient understanding on him can use these traits to trick him into actions of their suiting.
History:
Loras Tyrell is the third son of Lord Mace Tyrell & Alerie Hightower. As a son of the Lord of The Reach he wanted for nothing and received very fine tutoring. In his younger years he squired in Storm's End and it is said that it was here that Loras Tyrell took part in a clandestine love affair with a man. He has made an effort to keep such things a secret but there are those whom discovered regardless.
Upon becoming a Knight Ser Loras returned to Highgarden but would often travel to attend the more prominent Tourney's where he could indulge his thirst for glory. He was known to routinely best even members of the Kingsguard which won the attentions of many a maid, and a few Knights. In recent years he had devoted himself to his duties to The Reach as the "Knight of Flowers" and often corresponds with the Lady of Storm's End, Adelaide Baratheon.
