@morgauseoforkney And you are correct about that. She is awesome. Lady Vallina Magnar is a fucking BAMF, okay. She is not only physically strong enough to pick up her giant fuckin’ dogs on her own, but she’s also mentally strong and absolutely fearless when it comes to protecting who she loves. She had to travel all the way from Skagos to the complete opposite corner of The North just to get married to the Lord of the most reclusive Noble House since House Reed. And she was a trooper about it. Her late husband died fighting in Robert’s Rebellion when their oldest son was just 15, her middle son packed up to join the Night’s Watch, and her only daughter is…strange. She deals with it all in stride though. Does she mourn and feel grief over what she’s lost and endured? Absolutely, she’s only human after all, but everything has only made her stronger. Vallina definitely has a problem of infantilizing her daughter, but the whole family has always done that as a response to her nature. In spite of this, she’s a complete Mama Bear to all her kids. 100% guaranteed, Vallina would punch a dragon in the face to save any of her children.

She always managed the household well, and tbh she’s kind of better at it than her daughter-in-law. She doesn’t do the bulk of the household management anymore now, not since her son got married, so she has more time to devote to hobbies. Namely, making alcohol. I can also guarantee that if she lived in a warmer part of Westeros she would keep bees. Instead she just has dogs she dotes on.

Benjamín Vallina Cuesta (Sidra Vallina), Premio Tonel de Oro 2016.

“Es el reconocimiento a toda una trayectoria dedicada a la bebida regional que comparte con su mujer, Gumersinda Iglesias, su mejor probadora. Están satisfechos de que su hijo, Víctor Vallina, continúe con el negocio familiar, tras la jubilación de su padre.” (LNE)

“Fundó su lagar de Peón (Villaviciosa) en 1968, cuando se licenció del servicio militar. Conocía bien el sector porque desde crío ayudaba a su tío, Víctor Vallina Costales, que mayaba en casa.” (LNE)
