Sarella Sand is the fourth eldest of the Sand Snakes, the bastard daughters of Oberyn Martell.[2] Her mother is the captain of the Feathered Kiss.[3]
Appearance and Character
Sarella has a reputation for insatiable curiosity.[4][5] She loves Oldtown.[2]
History
Sarella is Prince Oberyn Martell's fourth daughter. Her mother, the trader captain of the Feathered Kiss,[3] comes from the Summer Isles.[6]
Sarella sometimes played with her cousin, Princess Arianne Martell, at the Water Gardens, although Arianne was always closer to Sarella's half-sister, Tyene Sand.[5]
Sarella once visited the abandoned holdfast Shandystone with her father, Tyene, and Arianne. Interested in the history of the ruins, Sarella turned over rocks and brushed sand off its mosaics.[4]
