Joanna Lannister | 18 | Unmarried | OPEN | Alia Bhatt

Joanna Lannister is the oldest child and only daughter of Jaime Lannister and his wife, Elia. She has on younger brother, Tyr Lannister.

As a child, Joanna was very different from the others in her family. She was full of energy and curious about everything. Her mother, father and wetnurses couldn’t keep up with her, and she was often put out in the training yard so she could run around free, as her mother often scolded her from running around the castle. She wasn’t a shy person, and introduced herself to everyone she met–it didn’t matter if they were a nobleman or not. Her parents thought as she got older she would calm down and some of her extra energy would be lost, but that never happened.

The first few years of the war didn’t affect Joanna heavily. She stayed in Casterly Rock, and the topic of the war was rather hush-hush around the castle, per order of her grandfather. She would often try to eavesdrop on conversations between her father and grandfather, curious abut what was happening. Then her grandfather left with a large force for the capital, and less than a month later, her father and mother took Joanna and Tyr to Sunspear. Joanna wasn’t quite sure that was a good idea however–wasn’t the war with Dorne? Even so, she was excited at the adventure she gained from it, as well as meeting her mother’s family.

Shireen Baratheon | 14 | Unmarried | OPEN | Kerry Ingram

Despite the Greyscale marring her face and labeling her as not very pretty, Shireen grew up with a rather positive outlook on life. She knew that it was a gift from the gods that she survived even if her mother didn’t seem to feel the same way. Ever since she could remember, Shireen spent more time in the company of wetnurses and maesters than her parents. She knew her mother resented her but she could never figure out why, at least until the night she heard her mother tell her father that she had failed and not given him anything. Was she nothing? She knew her mother cared little for her but Shireen tried her best to ignore such thoughts. It only made her sad.

While her father served on the Small Council and she lived in King’s Landing, Shireen spent most of her time reading books of all kinds from the Targaryen histories to legends meant to entertain children.  Unlike the other children who loved to be outside, Shireen kept to herself.  She was not obvious to the way the people at court looked at her when they saw the Greyscale, which marred her left cheek.  Her deformity made people uncomfortable, so Shireen avoided them.  It seemed that only her father would make time to spend with her, undeterred by her appearance.

After the riots in King’s Landing killed her uncle Renly, Shireen and her mother were sent back to Storm’s End for their own safety.  When Shireen hugged her father goodbye and he promised he would see her soon, she never imagined those would be the last words he spoke to her.

War broke out and Shireen remained at Storm’s End with her mother, aunt, and cousins.  During that time her only true friend was her cousin Myranda who kept her company while their fathers were off fighting.  Unfortunately Shireen’s prayers to the Seven were unanswered when word reached Storm’s End that Stannis had been killed in the Battle of the Stepstones.   Shireen was beside herself with grief and withdrew into herself.

Rosamund Stark | 14 | Unmarried | TAKEN | Sophie Turner

Rosamund Stark is the fourth child and second daughter of Brandon Stark and his wife, Catelyn. She has three older siblings, Rickard, Minisa and William. The Stark siblings seem to come in pairs, as Rickard and Minisa are very close and Rosamund and William are very close.

As a child, Rosamund was sickly and many maesters thought she would not live into her teenage years. Brandon and Catelyn feared for their daughter, but the older she grew, the more stable she became and by the time she was ten years old, the maesters said she was past the worse, and she would survive.

Rosamund stayed by her lady mother’s side during the war. Her mother feared the stress of war would bring on the sickness again, but Rosamund felt smuggled by her mother’s presence. Despite being the most ladylike out of all of her siblings, she ached to go watch from the walls of Winterfell, but was unable to. She spent a lot of time with Minisa, who had become crippled during her time in the south. She spent a lot of time with Minisa, strengthening the bond between the two sisters until Minisa went missing soon after the Ironborn rebelled. She missed her sisters presence and worried about her constantly.

She had little influence on the war and was unaffected otherwise save for the Seige of Winterfell. She was a rock for the other woman in Winterfell, as she was the youngest but often seemed the most calm and collected.

Minisa returned home a few months after the Bolton rebellion was quelled, with a small pack of fully grown direwolves at her side. It wasn’t long before the wolves attached themselves to the other members of house Stark and now all four Stark children have a wolf of their own. Rosamund named her own Grace, and over time, she grew closer to her direwolf than she could have believed possible. After a while she began to dream that she was in Grace’s body, seeing from her eyes. After speaking about it to Minisa, she found out that she was a warg; this is one of her biggest secrets, something she’s afraid to tell anyone, if a fact that she's quickly growing accustomed to. This shared secret brought the sisters closer than before.

Loras Tyrell | 22 | Unmarried | TAKEN | Niels Schneider

Lyanna Mormont | 16 | Unmarried | OPEN | Bailee Madison

As the youngest child of Maege Mormont, she has always lived an unconventional life.  She has four older sisters: Dacey, Alysane, Lyra, and Jorelle, though she shares a father with none of them. Like all the women of Bear Island, Lyanna was taught how to fight when she was very young. It was a different life, forged by years and years of raids along the shores of Bear Island.  In order to defend their homes they had to fight while the men were away. Even when things were safe, those skills were not to be forgotten by any women of any age.

All through her childhood Lyanna trained and fought with her sisters. She wanted to be a great warrior and idolized her older sisters in that way. She is close with her niece, Lily, who was only three years her junior and the pair were near inseparable for most of their childhood.  In some ways, Lily was more a sister to her than her older sisters were.  However, everything started changing all too quickly. She couldn’t remember a time before her mother was Lady Mormont so her eldest sister, Dacey’s, marriage to Benjen Stark before the outbreak of the Winter Rebellions was the first real change in her family life that she could truly remember. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the only change.

Lyanna was eleven when the Ironborn rebelled and the North rose up to defend their home from the krakens rising from the sea. As a child she’d been told stories of the Ironborn raiders, but now those fears could easily become reality. Lyanna begged her mother to allow her to go off to fight, but Maege insisted that Lyanna was too young. She was forced to remain on Bear Island with Dacey, who had just given birth to her first child, while her other three sisters rode off to war. In Lyanna’s eyes it wasn’t fair that she was stuck helping Dacey run the island and take care of her new baby when she could have been off fighting. More than once she was caught trying to slip off the island to go join the ranks of the Northern forces, but each time she was brought back to Bear Hall.

By the end of the war, Lyanna was itching for adventure.  She wanted to fight.  She wanted to see battle and in some ways she was disappointed the war ended when it did. If it had gone on for one more year she would have been old enough to fight.  Dacey reassured her that someday she would see a real fight, but reminded her to pray that war would never come to their doorstep again. Too many people could be lost and they were lucky that their family remained unscathed.

Jorelle Mormont | 19 | Unmarried | OPEN | Poppy Drayton

Like all of Maege Mormont’s daughters, Jorelle was supposedly sired by a bear.  No one on Bear Island ever questioned that and the girls were raised as Mormonts, not Snows.  Jorelle has three older sisters, Dacey, Alysane, and Lyra, as well as one younger sister, Lyanna.  Despite the gap in their ages, Jorelle was always the closest to Lyra as the pair was growing up.  They wanted a bond like Dacey and Alysane had, so they formed it with each other.  Like all the women of Bear Island, Jorelle learned to fight from a young age and grew up as a warrior.  She showed a great aptitude with the bow and arrow from the time she was small and honed her skills as she grew.  Despite her preference for a bow, Jorelle also learned with other weapons just as her sisters did.  After all, being a warrior was second nature for the Mormonts.

Jorelle has always admired her elder sisters, but especially Dacey.  When Dacey went south for the Royal Wedding, she was distraught that she could not accompany her.  However, the Sept’s destruction made it clear that remaining on Bear Island was the safer thing to do despite the young woman’s yearning to see the world beyond the Island and the Bay of Ice.  She fretted over Dacey’s condition after finding out her sister was injured in the chaos, and did not fully believe word that she was alright until she saw Dacey with her own eyes.  Despite the fear, Jorelle knew that all of Westeros was there and she could not help but feel envy for her sisters who had left the North and seen the incredible things beyond their small corner of the world.  There was so much out there to see, but at the time Jorelle had no way to see any of it.

Of the girls Jorelle has always been the quietest.  She was not the prettiest or the smartest, but that never bothered her.  She could easily slip between the cracks and use that to her advantage.  She was a warrior given her first weapon by her mother at a young age, just like her sisters.  Maege loved all her daughters equally and Jorelle knew her sisters loved her as well.  She had her place in the family and was more than content with it, even though she often wondered if she would end up married like Dacey, or find herself with children fathered by a bear like Alysane.
