Books

Obara Sand is the bastard daughter of Oberyn Martell and an Oldtown whore. She is the eldest of the infamous Sand Snakes.

Character and Appearance

A prickly, hot-tempered woman who is given to martial pursuits as she considers herself a warrior, wielding a spear and whip. She is hard, quick and strong. Obara is a big-boned woman near to thirty, long-legged, with close-set eyes and rat-brown hair.[1]

History

When her father came to claim her, her mother did not want him to take her. He threw a spear down at her mother's feet and slapped her mother. Then Oberyn asked Obara which weapon, the spear or the tears, she would choose. Obara chose the spear. Her mother drank herself to death within a year.[2]

A Feast for Crows

Obara meets Prince Doran Martell at the Water Gardens, demanding vengeance for her father. Prince Doran says he will think about it. After more visits by her half-sisters, Prince Doran orders the arrest of all the Sand Snakes.

A Dance with Dragons

She along with her other sisters are released and are present at the feast when Ser Balon Swann presents the head of Ser Gregor Clegane to Prince Doran. When a toast is raised by Ricasso to King Tommen Baratheon, Obara allows her wine cup to be filled before upending it onto the floor. Doran has Obara lead Ser Balon Swann to High Hermitage so he can hunt and kill the Darkstar for his attack on Princess Myrcella.
