A/N: Everything you recognize belongs to Tamora Pierce. This is a song based on the canon Marinie of Tasride. It was inspired by 4-eyedDragon's Lady of Trebond. This version is completely redone. It was Betaed by TamariChan, she is awesome! I changed a lot of minor things, like correcting the punctuation!

The Lady of Trebond

She was sent to the convent,
At the tender age of ten.
For she was to be a lady;
Gentle and graceful,
Bufflebrained and pretty.

The Lady of Trebond is fair and kind,
But, never do cross her,
For she has a temper.
She is peace.
She is hope.
She is justice for all.

She defends the helpless,
The overlooked, and the poor.
A great lady she'll make,
Compassionate and strong.

The Lady of Trebond is fair and kind,
But, never do cross her,
For she has a temper.
She is peace.
She is hope.
She is justice for all.

Now she is a lady,
Waiting to be married,
To the one her father chooses.
She has no choice in the matter,
No choice in the injustice of it all.

The Lady of Trebond is fair and kind,
But, never do cross her,
For she has a temper.
She is peace.
She is hope.
She is justice for all.

Marinie is her name.
She is from Fief Tasride.
She won't marry for power,
Nor for fame.
She'll only marry for love.

The Lady of Trebond is fair and kind,
But, never do cross her,
For she has a temper.
She is peace.
She is hope.
She is justice for all.

Her father has chosen.
The husband is rich,
Maybe kind.
No way of knowing,
Until the wedding night.
He is Gallan.
She won't marry him.

The Lady of Trebond is fair and kind,
But, never do cross her,
For she has a temper.
She is peace.
She is hope.
She is justice for all.

There's a great scandal;
She's disobeyed her father,
Loved and married her friend.
His name is Alan,
Alan of Trebond.

The Lady of Trebond is fair and kind,
But, never do cross her,
For she has a temper.
She is peace.
She is hope.
She is justice for all.

She has no family,
Cast out of Tasride,
Welcomed in Trebond.
She brings joy to the dour north,
Bringer of light, joy, and happiness.

The Lady of Trebond is fair and kind,
But, never do cross her,
For she has a temper.
She is peace.
She is hope.
She is justice for all.

No one thought that she would marry,
Especially quiet Alan.
But they love each other,
To the end of time.

The Lady of Trebond is fair and kind,
But, never do cross her,
For she has a temper.
She is peace.
She is hope.
She is justice for all.

She bore two children,
Alanna and Thom.
But, died at their birth.
Alan is heartbroken.
Yet another love story,
They are broken in time.

The Lady of Trebond is fair and kind,
But, never do cross her,
For she has a temper.
She is peace.
She is hope.
She is justice for all.

She lives on,
In the hearts and minds,
In Alan and Trebond;
In Alanna the Lioness;
And Seaver of Tasride.

The Lady of Trebond is fair and kind,
But, never do cross her,
For she has a temper.
She is peace.
She is hope.
She is justice for all.

Do not forget her.
Feminism embodied,
She came before her time.
See the new women,
Living up to her example,
Like Keladry and Lalasa,
Or her daughter, Alanna.
