ReplyDeleteDaenerys Targaryen is the youngest member of the Targaryen family left. It is only her and her brother Viserys. She is beautiful and smart. Her strengths are caring, understanding, and honorable which grant her respect from the Dothraki people. Her weaknesses are that she is trusting, naïve, and almost too sweet which leads to the ability of some to take advantage of her and her power. As an early teenager, she is arranged to be married to Khal Drogo by her brother. Khal is the leader of the Dothraki horsemen who are known for their skill on horseback and their viciousness. As a present for her wedding she is given three dragon eggs that never hatched from when her father was still king. Viserys had Daenerys married so he could use the Dothraki army to take back the thrown in Westeros. What he doesn’t realize is that the Dothraki army answers to Khal and Khaleesi only. She is slowly gaining respect from Drogo and the people, and her brother’s control over her is fading. Only great things are left to come for Daenerys. The quote we would like to use for Daenerys was in the sex scene early in when she said, “no stop, tonight I will look upon your eyes”. This showed us that Daenerys was starting to become more comfortable as a queen and she started to use her power and assert some dominance. Also she wanted to become good at making love and this showed some new acquired traits in the bedroom that Khal Drogo would adore and respect.

Tyrionís disability has always made his relation ship with his own family somewhat difficult, they feel burdened by the fact that he is a dwarf. Furthermore, the fact that his mother died due to his birth, his family has more dislike towards him. All of this hardship has molded Tyrionís personality into a witty and sharp personality. From what we have read about him so far, he does not fight with a sword but rather he fights with a pen and the power of knowledge. Another about Tyrion is that he seems not to care about what people think, which in term makes him do things that are looked down upon by his society, and also leaves his personality unchanged. Tyrionís actions are not predictable; his ability to pick out shady, or sneaky situations makes him very intriguing to watch (making him a liked character) also he has a good since of humor.
“My brother has his sword, King Robert has his warhammer and I have my mind...and a mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone if it is to keep its edge. That's why I read so much Jon Snow.”
In the future we see Tyrion improving the lives of the people around him. He has always been able to see between the cracks, giving him an advantage most do not have. Also his knowledge will keep on expanding because he prioritizes his knowledge the most.

ReplyDelete-Eddard Stark
Eddard Stark is a man who views honor and his personal code above all else in life, this proves to be his greatest strength, but also his greatest weakness. His sense of honor leads him to King's Landing where he is to replace the late Jon Arryn as 'Hand of the King'. His wife, Catelyn Tully, now Catelyn Stark is against him going to King's Landing because of his duties on the homefront: Winterfell. Back home Eddard, also known as Ned, is a hero who fought in Robert's Rebellion and overthrew Rhaegar Targaryen. Ned is a family man and has raised his children to be true children of the North, meaning they are badass as hell minus Sansa who is being taught to play the 'Game of Thrones'... However, when Ned leaves Winterfell, he is entering an unfamiliar battlefield in King's Landing where honor can be used against you, and where corruption riddles the political courts. Ned is a badass who has a giant valyrian steel greatsword named Ice that he executes his own prisoners with because he believes great lords should do the executions, not paid killers. Ned is a man of great honor that plays a pivotal role in Game of Thrones and is one of the most badass characters in the series.
Jon is the bastard son of Ned Stark. He is well trained in sword fighting, which he learned at Winterfell. He is strong emotionally and physically because he lives with the fact that everyone treats him like a bastard; and he knows it. He tries not to let it get to him and deals with it. At the wall, it is shown that he is a better swordsman than all the trainees. "The bastard hamstrung you, opened your empty skull, and cut off your hand. Or would have, if these blades had an edge." He feels closest to Arya since she is more like Ned Stark. He often thinks about his real mother a lot. He feels inferior to his brother Robb, who is the firstborn and lord of Winterfell. He will never be lord of anything. Jon may be strong, but he acts childish and selfish. He is treated like a boy by his uncle benjen who thinks that is naive. "A boy you are, and a boy you'll remain."
ReplyDeleteJon Snow is becoming more like a man, because he stopped seeing himself as the bastard son of Ned and views himself as one of the brothers of the Night's Watch. Something that he earned himself and he is becoming a more hornblende man like Ned.
He is worth liking even though people is mean to him, his mother is mean to him. However, he overcomes it and Tyrion tells him to wear it as armor. In the future, he possesses the ability to lead the Night's Watch.
