Alyce Strong

Alyce Strong was a mercenary in the employ of Aegor Rivers, and accompanied Ser Alfred Wyld to King's Landing to deliver the body of Lord Arryn.

Alyce was played by Susie in Season 2, Episode 7 "A Message from Tyrosh".

Appearance and Character
Alyce was unusually large for a person in Westeros, let alone a woman in Westeros. Her body was well-toned and muscular, living up to her surname. Her dark hair was kept short and messily cropped around her ears, and it was clear that she did not place much value in beautification.

Alyce was a jovial and joking woman, who often teased her companions - giving Alfred a hard time in particular. Though when the situation called, she would turn deadly serious, often literally, as she carried a large woodman's axe as her weapon.

History
Alyce was born among the common-folk in King's Landing, though her father claimed that they were the few remaining members of House Strong in Westeros - the rest having been slaughtered some 40 years before her birth during the Dance of the Dragons. Because of this Alyce had a deep resentment of House Targaryen and was sympathetic to the Blackfyre cause.

Alyce served the rebel forces at the Battle of the Redgrass Field, and was one of many who fled across the Narrow Sea to join Aegor Rivers when the battle was lost.

Events of After the Fyre
Alyce volunteered to join Alfred's squad and their mission to deliver Lord Arryn's body to King's Landing, after being defeated at the Battle of the Redgrass Field, she was eager to show her defiance to the crown and House Targaryen.

During the journey across the Narrow Sea, she was very social and friendly with her co-conspirators and the crew of the ship, going so far as attempting to embarrass Alfred at any given opportunity.

Once they landed, Alyce carried the body of Lord Arryn in a manner concealing his morbidity, pretending that he was a crewmate that had fallen ill on the journey. Once the others had secured a cart for the body, Alyce pulled that along as they had no beast of burden to do so, something that she grumbled about as they made their way into King's Landing.

Later, Alfred and Alyce were tasked with stealing a horse for the joust. They successfully stole a palfrey, unknowingly to them, belonging to the young Lord Dyffan Velaryon. After disguising it's markings with boot polish, and a close encounter with some guards, they returned to the group.

On the day of the joust, Alyce was turned away from the lists by Alexios Wyrl and told to leave. She attempted to argue but eventually left for the nearest tavern, where she spent the rest of her night deep in her cups and the entertainment of local ladies.

Death
It is not known exactly when Alyce was killed by A Man, but hers was one of the faces shown to Alfred as he laid dying at Castle Yronwood.
