CHARACTER INFORMATION

TIMELINE: A Feast for Crows
AGE: 17

REFERENCE: Wiki

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 from a rival house, 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. 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.

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 Jaime 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. 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 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.

She can be impulsive. Her entire marriage was an impulse, brought on by Robb's desire to preserve her honor after the two fell into bed together. She often reacts first and thinks later, a particular moment when she rode after Robb while he was marching towards the Twins. He had said goodbye to her twice before, but she chased after him, begging to be allowed to come as well. This caused a delay for Robb and left him irritated that he had to calm her down again and say goodbye once more. Even tearing her clothes was an impulsive action, not taking into consideration what her mother might do to retaliate or how the Lannisters would act.

Jeyne loves genuinely. She and Robb come from opposing houses, yet she didn't let that influence her opinion of 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.

ABILITIES: Jeyne was very limited in her upbringing, much of her education focused on being a proper noblewoman and wife. She is skilled at sewing and embroidery, running a household and the basics about Westerosi houses (mottos, sigils, etc.) She knows basic first aid and care, having tended to Robb when he was injured, though it's nothing on the level of maesters.
PERSONAL EFFECTS: The clothes on her back. They are ripped as an act of defiance and open mourning for Robb.
PRIZED POSSESSION: A Seashell Necklace she made with Robb before they marched to Riverrun.
