A Storm of Swords

A Storm of Swords – Bella

Arya has a chat with one of the whores at the Peach Inn named Bella. Bella brags about being a bastard daughter of King Robert.

It’s weird how I frequently imagine characters in a way that has nothing to do with how they look in the book. Bella was one of them. I found myself imagining her as a buxom redhead with lots of freckles, more like Dancy at Chataya‘s. Obviously, this was not the case.

I tried to make her look as much like Gendry’s sister as possible. It’s probably one of the reasons that Gendry is so nervous right now isn’t just because he is a complete virgin, who for all his bravado, probably barely knows any more about brothels than Aria does, or he sees the resemblance too.

Not that he didn’t have all the other girls too, but Leslyn says he liked my ma the best.”
