CHARACTER INFORMATION

NAME: Margaery Tyrell
CANON: A Song of Ice and Fire
AGE: 16 18
CANON POINT: A Feast For Crows, prior to her wedding to King Tommen Baratheon
BACKGROUND: here!

INCENTIVE/FIT: Margaery's incentive to come to Eudio would be to secure her position as Queen - whether that be through armies, advisement on political maneuvers or otherwise.

As far as fit goes, Margaery may only be sixteen but has already wed twice. In medieval-esque settings like ASOIAF people are considered to be adult far earlier (her first wedding was at fourteen, men her age are fighting wars and being crowned kings etc.) and are expected to behave a certain way. Margaery is certainly comfortable enough engaging in casual flirtations and is shown to be very affectionate towards her inner circle, and likely would have no real issue with any displays of intimacy were it made clear to her that it would not affect her position as Queen (implied as "don't tell Tommen and mess up her betrothal" but she's a lady she'll hardly say that gosh).

revisions; given the nature of her canon and the fact that people are considered adult from a much younger age, I can't see a significant change between sixteen year old Margaery and eighteen year old, especially in respect to things like intimacy and consent. While it may be the difference between adult and not in modern society, it matters little in Westeros. She is already a woman grown, who has clearly demonstrated a shrewd capability when it comes to decision making. While there is a lot of speculation in regards to whether or not Margaery has actually lost her virginity in canon, her grasp of intimacy beyond sex is very clear - from her close relationship with her cousins and, notably, her brother Loras, to more relevantly her insistence that she will not consumate her marriage to Tommen until he is of a more appropriate age. She clearly understands that, while the consumation of a marriage is held incredibly highly within society in Westeros (hence why the status of her virginity is so debated) it isn't as important to her as respecting a boy of 10's ability - or lack thereof - to consent.
