Recent Events

A Game of Thrones

During a needlework session with Princess Myrcella Baratheon, she claims that Sansa has caught the eye of Prince Joffrey Baratheon, which leads to a discussion that upsets Arya Stark.[1] Jeyne accompanied her father to King's Landing when Lord Eddard Stark was named Hand of the King.[3] During the Tourney of the Hand, Jeyne declared that she would marry Lord Beric Dondarrion when she first saw him. Some time later, she watched a young knight die and had to be escorted away by Septa Mordane to regain her composure.[4]

Jeyne survived the massacre of Eddard's household following his arrest for treason, and she was confined by Ser Boros Blount of the Kingsguard in a room with Sansa Stark. Jeyne's father died in the massacre and she was given over to Littlefinger, who said he would find a place for her. [5]

A Storm of Swords

When Jaime Lannister says farewell to Steelshanks Walton there is a northern girl present who claims to be Arya Stark, although Jaime does not recognize her. Later Jaime tells Brienne that the girl is not Arya Stark (in case Brienne had ideas of rescuing the girl) but some northern girl his father found. They pinned a wolf brooch on her and sent her north to wed Bolton's bastard in order to cement their claim to Winterfell. Brienne is shocked but Jaime explains that with all of Arya Stark's kin believed dead (besides her sister Sansa and half-brother on the Wall) no one will be able to dispute the girl's identity. According to Jaime, the Boltons are aware the girl is a fraud.[6]

A Feast for Crows

Queen Cersei claims that Lord Petyr Baelish dressed up a "steward's whelp" and claimed she was Arya Stark, sent to marry Ramsay Bolton.[7]

A Dance with Dragons

Jeyne is forced to marry Ramsay and pleads with Theon Greyjoy several times before the wedding for him to help her and take her away. When stripped by Greyjoy for the bedding, numerous scars covered Jeyne's back suggesting she had been whipped. When Ramsay asks her if she knows how to please a man, she replies fearfully that she has had training.

She spends all her time confined to the tower and is deeply traumatized by the things Ramsay does to her. The maids who bathed her noticed the bruises on her body and the girl's sobbing was known throughout Winterfell. According to Lady Dustin the crying of "Arya Stark" is more a danger than the army of Stannis Baratheon. The Freys may not care, but the other northern houses who had served House Stark for generations did, and morale was being damaged from hearing the cries of Eddard Stark's "daughter."

A rescue attempt is launched by Mance Rayder (who was sent south to rescue "Arya Stark"). Mance, under the alias Abel (a reference to Bael the Bard) brought six spearwives with him who were disguised as maids.[8][9] They enlisted/forced the help of Theon Greyjoy.[10] Though Jeyne and Theon managed to escape Winterfell,[11] Mance and the spearwives did not and it is reported that all six women were flayed, with Mance put in a cage in the winter elements with their skins to act as cloaks to keep him warm from the cold.[12]

Jeyne and Theon are discovered later by Mors Umber and brought to the main camp of Stannis Baratheon.[13]

The Winds of Winter

Mors Umber brought Theon and Jeyne to Stannis. Mors asked the girl questions about Winterfell and even asked her to name the names of servants at Winterfell to confirm the girl's identity. Having lived at Winterfell, Jeyne was able to answer these questions to Mors' satisfaction. Theon whispered to Jeyne on their trek to Stannis's camp that she must still pretend to be Arya, otherwise she will be nothing to them but a "whore". The tip of her nose becomes black from frostbite en route and she will most likely lose a bit of her nose because of it.

When meeting with Stannis, he sends "Arya" to the Wall to reunite her with her brother Jon Snow with an escort of six men, the banker Tycho Nestoris and Ser Justin Massey. [14]
