ARE YOU 18 OR OLDER: Yes
CHARACTER
NAME: Jeyne Westerling
CANON: A Song of Ice and Fire
AGE: 17
CANON POINT: A Feast For Crows
HISTORY: Wiki. Jeyne's history is not nearly as exstensive as some of the larger characters, for example Tyrion Lannister. I tried to cover the major events of her life in my personality section, such as sparing Black Walder, the reasons of her marriage and her actions as a wife. The important scenes are detailed in the secton on a Storm of Swords and A Feast for Crows.
PERSONALITY:
The most prominent and observed trait of Jeyne's is her kindness. She is seen as a gentle creature in the books, not only by the Starks but also by the Lannisters. Despite being of rival houses, Jeyne genuinely cares for Robb and his family, as well as his people, wanting to do well by them. She tends to Robb during his injury, after he had stormed the Crag and taken her father prisoner. When Black Walder attempts to kill Jeyne, insulted by her marriage to Robb, Jeyne persuades her husband to spare the man, rather than execute him. She wishes no ill will on anyone and tries to be a good wife and queen, rather than allowing the war and house politics to interfere.
She's often anxious, mainly concerned for Robb's well being and the stress that he suffers as king. She witnessed first hand the grief and pain he suffered, her attempts to comfort him being the impetus for their marriage, as well as the Red Wedding. Her worries are so obvious that it leads to Catelyn Stark to council and persuade Jeyne to be patient and understanding. However, it comes out in other ways as well, including her wariness around Grey Wind, Robb's direwolf, due to her witnessing his violence during the storming of the Crag. Most of her anxiety, however, is channeled towards those that she loves, wanting to find ways to protect them and keep them safe.
She can be extremely naive and innocent. Despite knowing her family's sworn duty to the Lannisters, Jeyne ignores that obligation to marry Robb Stark. During the course of her marriage, Jeyne doesn't seem to understand the gravity of the situation or that she has linked her family to rebellion, specifically to a house that opposes her father's liege lord. She also seems to think little about the vow that Robb has broken on her behalf. She focuses instead on being a good wife and queen, ignoring the dangerous situation that she has placed herself in. She trusts her mother, someone who had worked actively to marry her daughter to a Lannister, to be supportive of her choice of husband. She takes the potions her mother gives her without question. Even her acts of kindness can be seen as naive. Knowing that Black Walder wants to kill her, she still urges Robb to forgive him, leading to the man playing a part in the Red Wedding. Unlike Catelyn or even her mother, Jeyne doesn't consider the danger she faces or the intrigue she needs to survive. She instead focuses in on her feelings for Robb and their happiness together. This leaves her open for attack, leading her to misjudge her family's motives.
Despite being kind and sweet, Jeyne can show a temper and a measure of rebellion. One of the most notable instances is when she rips her clothes in an act of defiance, openly mourning the loss of her husband. Her crown (which Robb had made for her) had been taken away by her mother, rather than accept her mother's harsh dismissal of her feelings, Jeyne publicly mourned Robb. She states that she loves him, even in the presence of Jamie Lannister (the son of the Lord of Casterly Rock, the house that Jeyne's family is sworn to). She stands firm by her feelings, unafraid of what the response would be.
Jeyne is noted to be intelligent and wise. She is observant enough to recognize that something is amiss when Robb rides off to visit the Twins and attend the wedding of his uncle to one of the Frey daughters, (this leading to the Red Wedding). She begs him not to leave, even crying at their parting. She asks him to keep Grey Wind with him, knowing that the wolf would keep him safe. She has a number of skills outside of observation, one of them being her ability to nurse and care for someone who is injured. She is tasked with looking after Robb during his injury, showing a level of capability and understanding of how to nurse someone back to health and basic first aid.
Although it is not explicitly stated, Jeyne shares a loving relationship with her family. Her brother, Raynald, sides with Robb Stark and shows him affection, as though they were real brothers. This is likely stemming from the relationship that Jeyne and Raynald share naturally, leading Raynald to befriend Robb on her behalf. Her father shows concern for Jeyne's safety during the siege of Riverrun and, as heartless as it was, Jeyne's mother arranged the Red Wedding on her daughter's behalf, wanting to secure a pardon for her. She trusted her mother enough to take potions that she offered, believing them to aid fertility, though they turned out to prevent pregnancy. She showed a great desire to have a family with Robb, actively trying to conceive. She even makes an effort to befriend and become close to Catelyn Stark, despite Catelyn's wariness of Jeyne.
Jeyne exists outside the realm of politics and war. She and Robb come from opposing houses, yet she didn't let that influence her opinion of him. She willingly loved him, no matter the danger and war waged against her house. She wanted to be a good wife and queen, trying her best to ease the burden felt by Robb and his forces. In the end, the Red Wedding affected her as much as it did the Stark forces, but she didn't let it defeat her spirit. She remained true to Robb, even in death.

STRENGTHS:

MISC
PLANS: For most of Jeyne's life, she has been a tool for her mother and for the people around her, used to get what they want without regard for her thoughts or feelings. Joining COST will be the first active decision Jeyne has made on her own and is in itself an act of rebellion. It would be her way of breaking free and trying to find a new life for herself. With this sense of empowerment and freedom, she would explore the new life she's been given and try to do something with herself, to be useful. For me, it's exciting to put Jeyne into situations that she's slightly familiar with, such as being surrounded by a war, and pushing her limits, to see how far her strength will take her. I'd like for her to learn more about medicine and healing, to maybe learn how to defend herself and find an independence that had been lacking in her life. Under these conditions and needing to rely on herself will help her to blossom and put her better traits to use, rather than being passive and allowing others to use her.
ITEM: Jeyne would want to bring any one of these items: The crown that Robb gave her, which her mother took away or her husband's sword.
CHARACTER @ID SUGGESTIONS: I'd like to see what you guys come up with. There's nothing I have my heart set on.
HOW DID YOUR CHARACTER JOIN COST? Jeyne agreed to join COST after being approached by one of the agents, which she will imagine. They might not have offered her anything, but for her, it was a means to escape the Lannister's control as well as a chance to decide what to do with her life. It is less of a noble cause and more of a chance for her to change her own future, in much the same way as she will be helping COST.
