Midnight Diamond
|
The Midnight Diamond is a renowed Braavosi courtesan. Like many of the city's courtesans, she is something of a celebrity, renowned for her beauty, grace and presence. Bravos vie for her favor, challenging their rivals to duels in her name, and rich men shower her with gifts in the hope of gaining her personal attention.
It was the Midnight Diamond's barge that pulled the armored, half-drunk and nearly drowned Ayrant Wisent from the waters of the Braavos canals when he fell in during a duel. She took an amused interest in the impoverished foreigner, but his affable charm eventually won her over, and they entered into a romance that is still talked about in Braavos with wistfulness by young romantic ladies, and with bitterness by all those who previously desired the love of the courtesan.
