Character and Appearance

Shireen is regarded as a sweet child. She is not not very pretty; she has blue eyes but inherited both her father's square, jutting jaw and her mother's large ears.^[1] The greyscale caused half of her left cheek and most of her neck to be covered in gray and black dead skin. She is nine years old.^[2]

History

Shireen is Stannis Baratheon and Selyse Florent only child and daughter. When she was an infant, she suffered from an infection called greyscale. The disease, which almost killed her, left the left portion of her cheek and neck stiff, dead, and flaky, mottled black and grey and hard to the touch. As daughter and heir of Stannis, she resides in Dragonstone and is educated by Maester Cressen. She is usually seen in the company of Patchface, their mad, broken fool she calls "Patches" though his ravings sometimes frighten her.
