Tanselle is Bloodraven. Or, at least, Melissa Blackwood. The first time Dunk sees the puppeteer, Tanselle Too-Tall: When he caught the smell of sausages sizzling over a smoky fire, his mouth began to water. He bought one with a copper from his pouch and a horn of ale to wash it down. As he ate he watched a painted wooden knight battle a painted wooden dragon. The puppeteer who worked the dragon was good to watch, too; a tall drink of water, with the olive skin and black hair of Dorne.
