History

Melara Hetherspoon was a companion to Cersei Lannister. Together with Cersei and Jeyne Farman, she went to see Maggy the Frog during the Lannisport Tourney in 276 AC, to get a glimpse of their future, though Jeyne fled upon seeing the older woman. Melara asked whether she would marry Cersei's twin Jaime, but instead was told of her imminent death. She told Cersei that, if they did not speak of the prophecies made by Maggy, they would not come true. However, Melara later drowned in a well while Cersei overheard her cries, making her prophecy come true.^[3][4][5]
