The cards have not entirely favored the life of Mya Stone especially given her unfortunate standing in life.

Mya's mother was a baseborn woman, someone who came from a peasant family that dealt in guiding through the mountains, taking care of and breeding the mules for the Vale, and her mother occasionally working as a handmaiden for House Royce. Her mother was by no means an ugly woman, but rather a baseborn woman easy on the eyes and considered pretty, just enough to catch the eye of Robert Baratheon when he and Eddard Stark fostered under Jon Arryn. It was enough that Robert seduced her mother and they became lovers, and not long after Mya was conceived. Months later after she was born, young Mya has little memory of her father Robert who did from time to time while he remained at the Vale came to see her, being one of the few of his bastards he seemed genuinely interested in even after him and her mother no longer shared a bed. She recalls a few times he would throw her in the air, seeing his smile and joy in his deep blue eyes, a few of the only happy memories she has of the father she never really knew.

However, Mya really only recalls the years she spent with her mother and their immediate family, raised as a baseborn girl who became involved in the business of guiding others and becoming a ward to House Royce, more specifically a close companion to their children. Much of her life was thus spent in the Vale, learning the various treacherous trails across the mountains, how to handle the mules, knowing the goods and services often sent on the trade routes, and learning to hunt, track, and climb. Overall, Mya lived the life as any peasant, being quite oblivious to her parentage other than knowing she was a bastard but never let this stop her living her life to the fullest.

Compared to most women, Mya came to favor leather and chainmail, dressing in more traditionally masculine attire to better endure the harshness of traveling the mountains and occasionally beyond from a rather young age. Though she was taught a few skills such as sewing, the basics of reading, writing, and navigation, Mya always seemed to favor more traditionally masculine activities and was seen as not necessarily lady like given her stockier build, yet was never described as ugly either. Some have remarked she would be even more beautiful in dresses, something she finds insulting and irritating. Nevertheless, Mya grew quickly, healthy, and settled into her roles quite well, eventually making a decision to completely dedicate herself to House Royce upon coming of age at ten-and-seven, a day her mother decided to confess the reality of her true parentage long after the Rebellion had come to an end. At seventeen, Mya discovered she was the oldest bastard of Robert Baratheon, a reality that angered and scared her all at the same time, being no stranger to the whispers of potential war and tensions to come.

Though she dismissed the revelation, Mya assured her mother she would not worry for the legacy of her father, confident she could keep herself separate from the dangerous game of politics among the noble houses, at the back her mind she never stopped worrying what the discovery of this could mean. Little did she know, a few living souls outside House Royce were already aware of her existence, being the source of Lyanna Stark turning from her betrothal to Robert and Eddard willing to keep a secret before his death later. Six years since, young Mya has managed to keep to a rather simple life, serving House Royce where they need her and traversing the Vale with travelers, one of which is the young swordsman Mychel Redfort who became her occasional lover, taking her virginity in the process. In her eyes, life couldn't be better...until in recent months the whispers of potential war has been on the rise, Mya often listening in silence to the gossip of her travelers, old anxieties of others discovering who she is settling deep in her gut.

At 23 years of age, Mya may find herself yet coming to terms with that she cannot hide forever and she may yet find herself mixed up on the game of thrones.
