History
Sarella is Prince Oberyn Martell's fourth daughter. Her mother, the trader captain of the Feathered Kiss,[3] comes from the Summer Isles.[7]
Sarella sometimes played with her cousin, Princess Arianne Martell, at the Water Gardens, although Arianne was always closer to Sarella's half-sister, Tyene Sand.[6]
Sarella once visited the abandoned holdfast Shandystone with her father, Tyene, and Arianne. Interested in the history of the ruins, Sarella turned over rocks and brushed sand off its mosaics.[5]
