Appearance and Character
Myria's appearance betrays her Dornish heritage with her dark, curly hair and lightly tanned skin, she did not inherit the green eyes of her father and siblings. As a young teenager, her figure is slight, and she is of average height, though she carries herself with the poise of someone twice her age.

Myria is not an avid follower of the latest fashions popular with Ladies, but takes great care in her appearance. She wears her hair loose and long, allowing her curls to frame her face, but pinning back longer sections with delicate braids. On occasion she will wear forget-me-nots tucked into her hair. She dresses in her House colours of black and green whenever possible, especially if there is an event, and she accessorises with golden jewellery.

Raised as a Lady, Myria has a keen interest in music, singing, dancing and other traditionally feminine activities. She also has a keen mind for social dynamics and workings and is intensely interested in the official affairs of her House and the politics of Westeros. She is also very interested in learning about Dorne, and is often seen sitting and chatting with Ser Olyver Yronwood.

Myria is very much a social young woman who finds herself at ease at almost any event, with any conversational partner.

History
Myria is the youngest daughter and last child of Lord Lucos Greenmont and Lady Alyse Greenmont, who died during Myria's birth. She was born a happy and healthy baby, unaware of the tragedy of her birth.

Due to her mother's untimely passing, Myria's relationship with her father was strained. However, upon Alyse's death, Ser Olyver was made the girl's Godsfather. He became her father figure and was instrumental in raising her, alongside her aunt, Lady Lana Greenmont, and her sister, Lady Mara Greenmont.

For the most part, Myria's childhood at Fox Hollow was a happy one, she proved to be a wilful and clever child - in between lessons and reading, she could often be found with a young Ser Alfred Wyld playing pranks on Ser Olyver and her older brothers, Lann and Rylon. Her most treasured memories and lessons were spent with her Godsfather, Ser Olyver, who taught her to ride horses, how to sing and dance in the Dornish tradition, and taught her of the socio-politics of Dorne.

Myria was kept sheltered from the family's plans to join the Blackfyre rebellion until it became impossible to hide it from her, although she had already long suspected something was happening due to the changes in behavior and reduced contact she had with her older brothers. She did not understand her father's motives for joining Daemon Targaryen's side, and did question him, but she never received an answer that satisfied her. She was left at Fox Hollow with Lana, Mara, and Marzia whilst the male members of the house went off to campaign with Daemon.

In the two years before the events of After the Fyre, House Greenmont counted themselves amongst the losing side of the Blackfyre rebellion. Lann and Rylon were killed at the Battle of the Redgrass Field, with Lord Lucos and Ser Olyver being badly wounded. Shortly after their return to Fox Hollow, Myria was taken to Summerhall to be warded with Prince Maekar Targaryen, a hostage to ensure the cooperation and obedience of House Greenmont.

Summerhall
At Summerhall, Myria was educated in stewardship, literacy, as well as other courtly pursuits such as singing and dancing. As the oldest of the wards, she was responsible for the younger wards, acting as a mentor and secondary caretaker under Septa Ygrid.

During a game of 'come-into-my-castle' with Harys, Lyra, Joy, and Prince Aerion, they were interrupted by the arrival of her uncle, Edmyn Blackmont, and his men with their prisoner at Summerhall. Court was called, and Myria rushed to the Ladies Gallery to watch the proceedings. It was revealed that the prisoner was Daera Storm, a bastard from the Stormlands, and that she had been caught spying for Bittersteel in the Baratheon court. Prince Maekar demanded that she be imprisoned in the cells of Summerhall, and charged Blackmont with investigating his own court for spies.

That afternoon, Myria witnessed her uncle and his men after interrogating the young Lady Peake, she had clearly been drugged and was being held up as they took her to her quarters. She caught her uncle's attention and they shared a warm reunion. Blackmont seemed concerned for Myria's safety during the interrogations and promised to protect her, he extended her an invitation to dinner to discuss it further.

Later that night, Myria was having difficulty sleeping after finding out about the death of her father, Lucos Greenmont, and decided to get some air. As she opened the door to her dormitory, she found Harys Ball just about to knock. After asking him why he was out of bed past curfew, he convinced her to accompany him down to the cells of Summerhall to talk to Daera Storm.

After evading the guards and sneaking across the grounds, they arrived at Daera's cell. Harys began by asking her about his father, Ser Quentyn Ball, but he was quickly deflected, telling him that his father was "a fool" that got himself killed. Daera then began to focus on Myria, trying to convince her to become a spy for Bittersteel via taunting and bargaining. Myria, however, refused and cautioned Daera on choosing her allies more carefully in the future, before she took Harys's arm and headed back to the dormitories, narrowly avoiding Prince Aerion.

Quotes
"Most men would rather deny a hard truth than face it. But face it, we must. Our house gambled and we lost, but I will not make the same mistakes of my father. I will not, I cannot lose."
