Related Character Bio

The youngest daughter of Lord Greenwood was but a child when the Ryswells revolted and had no clue as to her grandfather's betrayal to the Starks. He had sided with the Ryswells, hoping to gain the nearby lands of the Loyal houses and become one of the several larger Lords of the North. Instead, winter came. As the Mormonts stood their ground. Ashara bore witness to her grandfather's death. Beheaded by Rodrik "Ironfist" Glover personally. With it being said that he wished to kill all the Greenwood's. Instead Lyanna showed them some mercy. Taking the young daughter as a ward and hostage. Meanwhile the heir to the house would be sent to Ironwood also. The young girl struggled to settle to life in Winterfell. Feeling as though she had wronged every person she would meet there. Lyanna often tries to dismiss this case. Calling her "sister" instead. Though this falls on deaf ears. As such the girl named "The Hearth of the North" is a timid creature. She barely eats, with sleep hard to find and whom hates the gaze of any Northmen whom stood by the Starks.
