Oberyn: The Well-Traveled Prince

When I first read The Song of Ice and Fire, Oberyn was an immediate favorite. I love the fact that he trained to be a maester, though he left without completing his studies, and how he is devoted to his daughters and to the memory of his sister. Most of all, I love that he is well-travelled.

His little exchange with Varys at the throne room was glorious. He says he travels because "It is a big and beautiful world. Most of us live and die in the same corner we were born and never get to see any of it. I don't want to be most of us."

So, yeah, can't wait for my favorite prince of Dorne school the Seven Kingdoms on the meaning of badass. And the Kobayashi Maru.
