Princess Myrcella of House Baratheon is the second child and only daughter son of King Robert Baratheon and Queen Cersei of House Lannister. She is currently eight years old.

290 AL Her younger brother Tommen was born.

After the sudden death of the Hand of the King, Jon Arryn, Lord of the Eyrie King Robert decided to travel north with the royal family to see Eddard Stark, Lord of Winterfell.

King Robert arrived at Winterfell. Joffrey was among the three hundred travelling with him along with Queen Cersei, Prince Joffrey Baratheon, Myrcella, Prince Tommen Baratheon, Ser Jaime Lannister, two other knights of the Kingsguard, Tyrion Lannister and Sandor Clegane. Cersei and her younger children had travelled there in a wheelhouse. They were met at the gates by Eddard Stark, Lord of Winterfell, his wife Lady Catelyn and their children, Robb, Sansa, Arya, Brandon and Rickon. On Robert's request he and Eddard left the others and went down to the crypt.

A feast was held in the Great Hall of Winterfell. The royal family entered the hall in procession, Lord Stark first escorting the queen, followed by King Robert and Lady Stark. Then came the children, Rickon, Robb and Myrcella, Arya and Tommen and Sansa and Joffrey. After them came Ser Jaime and Tyrion Lannister. Last came Benjen Stark and Theon Greyjoy. Lord and Lady Stark hosted the king and queen on a raised platform beneath which sat the Stark and royal children.

Queen Cersei brought Princess Myrcella to stich together with Arya Stark, Sansa Stark, Beth Cassel and Jeyne Poole, overseen by Septa Mordane. The girls discussed Prince Jofferey, who Sansa was going marry, and Jon Snow. When Septa Mordane critized Arya's crooked stiches, she ran out of the room.
