#difficult ask is difficult

I think that depends on Dolores accordingly to timeline, since she changes a lot throughout the show, and her sweet, naive programmed persona greatly diverges from the Dolores that we see in season 2, and that both of those are somewhat different from what Dolores will be in season 3, considering she is now focused in a different sort of battle and seeking to achieve different goals.

This is difficult tbh aishdfiasudh I’m not sure of a definitive reply, both because fitting Dolores in one house is difficult and because the houses themselves have such divergent representatives that it is hard to define them as a unity. So here is my attempt at analyzing it as briefly as I could.

I think future!Dolores will fit in the most as a Lannister. I think even season 2 Dolores may fit in there, but considering how much more cunning and manipulative I expect her to be in season 3, I think future!Dolores will fit as a Lannister even better. The Lannisters aren’t above using others to reach their goals. They certainly aren’t above spilling blood either, and they are rather ambitious. The main point of divergence I see is that Dolores’ goal is never focused on herself alone/those closest to her. She doesn’t want a legacy to herself, her actions are focused on the survival of an entire kind. Even so, I think this may fit in with the Lannisters as well, if we think of Dolores’ mindset in regard to the future of her kind as similar to the Lannister’s mindset of placing their house and their legacy first. In both cases, they work to preserve their kin, even if hers is more encompassing an idea, and much less selfish.

The Tyrells are quite similar to the Lannisters in some of those aspects, though, so she may fit in there as well. And her first build fits in perfectly with the sort of image the Tyrells aim to project, but that isn’t necessarily true. For that reason, I might lean towards Tyrell more.

Like the Martells, Dolores is quite the resilient one, and we all know she can be very dangerous and vengeful. I think she has less qualms in regards to the innocents that may get caught in the crossfire of her war than the Martells, though. There are some similarities, so maybe?

I don’t see much that would lead me to place her as a Stark, Arryn, Targaryen or Tully. I thought her programmed role might be placed as a Tully but I can’t really explain why lol.
