She was known for her compassion, and her gift for healing. with her dark colored violet eyes and silver-white hair.

As a child, Maegelle attached herself to her elder sister, Princess Alyssa, much as Alyssa herself had done to Prince Baelon when she was younger. Alyssa did the best she could to evade Maegelle, bristling at "the baby" at her skirts. Later, she was the guiding star of her younger sister, Daella.

Maegelle was promised to the Faith of the Seven in 73 AC at the age of ten as a novice and eventually became a septa. Queen Alysanne announced that this was in thanks for the Mother blessing her with many children.

When Princess Daella was failing to agree to a suitable match, Maegelle told her mother that the Faith would not want her if she stayed unmarried, as Princess Daella could not read her prayers.

After her sister Saera was involved in a scandal, it was announced that Maegelle was to take charge of her instruction as a novice silent sister.

In 87 AC, Maegelle took leave from her sept to stay with her grieving mother, who had lost her daughters Alyssa, Daella, and Viserra in the space of five years.
