Myrcella Baratheon is the kind of girl that wears leather pants and jackets and combat boots —only if she's not wearing Prada and D&G, of course. She's the kind of princess that can throw a knife from the other side of the shool hallway and leave you blind —and she'll flirt with you while doing so. She's also the kind of perfect, golden girl that leads a normal high school life: she plays field hockey with Arya Stark, is in the cheerleading team with Sansa Stark, gets straight A's in all her classes and still has time to bake cupcakes with Margaery Tyrell, slay monsters when they decide to attack her hometown and make out with Robb Stark while drenched in blood.
