Character's Personal History:
Kara is the daughter of Ser Albar Vance and Lady Jeyne Bloodrivers. Kara is a niece to Lord Vance of Atranta and a cousin to Lord Bloodrivers of Harrenhal. An only child, Kara was spoiled by her parents, particularly her father, who treated her as both son and daughter. At first Lady Jeyne tried to discourage Kara from joining in the rough play fights of the boys, but when she saw how much Kara loved those games, and how proud Albar was, she relented. By the time she was 7, Kara was not just playing with the boys, she was training with them too. She derived twice as much pleasure from learning swordcraft than she did in setting a neat row of stitches. Soon, Kara began to neglect the feminine arts for her beloved masculine pursuits. Her mother gave up hope that Kara would behave like her female cousins, taking comfort from the fact that her daughter was pretty enough when she could be persuaded to dress up for formal occasions.
In her early teens, Kara begged her father to let her sail with her cousin Aeron, who she greatly admired, and had a little crush on. Ser Albar reluctantly agreed, hoping to see a match between the two youngsters by voyage's end. By the time she came home, Kara was bolder, had learned to drink with sailors and while she had given her maidenhead to her cousin one night at sea, she had no thought of marriage and was openly declaring her intention of remaining unwed. Thereafter, Kara often travelled with Aeron. They never spoke of marriage but Lady Jeyne did attempt (unsuccessfully) to steer her daughter's thoughts towards matrimony when she returned to Atranta.
Years passed, with Kara becoming a skilled swordswoman. She enjoys sailing with her cousin but has no desire to captain her own ship. Kara was 19 when she met Dagon Volmark, a cousin to the Lord of Volmark, who sailed with Aeron. The two became lovers and Kara was persuaded to marry Dagon after experiencing a connection she had never thought to find with any man. The two married months after meeting and Lady Jeyne was heard to remark that she would rather have a spinster for a daughter than one wed to a reaver. Kara and Dagon were happy for three years, never staying in one place for long, until Dagon was killed during a duel with the Harlaw of Harridan Hill. Blaming Kara for his kinsman's death, Lord Volmark refuses to acknowledge her as kin or receive her in his hall She therefore refuses any connection with the Volmark name but wears an old pendant Dagon gave her on their wedding day as a memento of their love. Kara and Dagon had no children. Kara is reputed to be barren.
After becoming widowed, Kara mourned a while at Atranta, but soon sought solace in drinking, fighting and travel. She has had a few lovers since Dagon's death, including, occasionally, her cousin Aeron, but her liaisons tend to be short-lived due to her lifestyle. She continues to spend most of her time with her cousin Aeron. She is a hard riding, hard drinking woman who loves fighting, hunting and sex. She tends to be seen in shirt and breeches even when not in armour but can scrub up well for a fancy event...if she wants to. Kara wields the Valyrian steel sword Nightfall upon her cousin's behalf.
