Game Of Thrones: 12 New Characters Set For Season 5
9. Tyene Sand
As it happens, Oberyn's habit of siring children with murderous impulses did not stop with Obara and Nymeria, and third daughter Tyene Sand is no less deadly than her elder sisters. Unlike them, however, Tyene favors a method of killing that is distinctly less bloody and more difficult to trace. Despite being born of a septa, Tyene inherited her father's fondness for poisoning. Oberyn was not known as the Red Viper of Dorne for nothing, and it will be perfectly clear which of her parents Tyene takes after. Combined with her intelligence and powers of seduction, Tyene is as dangerous with poison as Obara with a spear and Nymeria with a knife. And talents of toxin are not the only family trait that Tyene has inherited. Like Obara and Nymeria, she is consumed by a desire to avenge Oberyn's death. Tyene will be the least physically imposing of the Sand Snakes to appear in the fifth season, but Prince Doran would be wise to be just as wary of Tyene as her sisters as he tries to curb their tempers. Basically, if you're from the Westerlands, don't try the food when Tyene's about.
Fiction buff and writer. If it's on Netflix, it's probably in my queue. I've bought DVDs for the special features and usually claim that the book is better than the movie or show (and can provide examples). I've never met a TV show that I won't marathon. Follow on Twitter @lah9891 .
