During a needlework session at [[Winterfell]] with Princess [[Myrcella Baratheon]], Jeyne claims that [[Sansa Stark]] has caught the eye of Prince [[Joffrey Baratheon]], which leads to a discussion that upsets [[Arya Stark]].{{Ref|AGOT|7}}
  
Jeyne survives the massacre of Eddard's household following his arrest for treason, and she is confined by Ser [[Boros Blount]] of the [[Kingsguard]] in a room with [[Sansa Stark]]. Jeyne's father, [[Vayon Poole]], died in the massacre and she is given over to [[Littlefinger]], who says he will find a place for her.{{Ref|aGoT|51}}
+
When Lord [[Eddard Stark]] is named [[Hand of the King]], [[Vayon Poole]] comes with him to [[King's Landing]]. Jeyne accompanies him, remaining as Sansa's [[handmaid|companion]] in the [[Tower of the Hand]].{{Ref|AGOT|22}}
 +
 
 +
During the [[Hand's tourney]], Jeyne is frightened by [[Jalabhar Xho]] and giggles over [[Thoros of Myr]]. She declares that she will marry Lord [[Beric Dondarrion]] when she first sees the dashing lordling. After young Ser [[Hugh of the Vale]] dies in the tourney, Jeyne cries hysterically and is escorted away by Septa [[Mordane]] to regain her composure.{{Ref|AGOT|29}}
 +
 
 +
Sansa and Jeyne discuss Eddard's appointment of Lord Beric as the leader of an expedition to arrest Ser [[Gregor Clegane]], who has been raiding the [[riverlands]]. Sansa says Ser [[Loras Tyrell]] would have been better, but Jeyne believes Beric is as much of a hero. Sansa thinks Jeyne's crush on Beric is silly, as he is twice her age, and would consider a steward's daughter to be too far beneath him.{{Ref|AGOT|44}}
 +
 
 +
Vayon Poole is killed in the [[Arrest of Eddard Stark|massacre of Lord Eddard's household]] following his arrest for [[treason]], but Jeyne is spared after [[Sandor Clegane]] breaks down her door with a [[warhammer]]. Ser [[Boros Blount]] of the [[Kingsguard]] brings her to the room in [[Maegor's Holdfast]] where [[Sansa Stark]] has been confined. Jeyne tells Sansa about the massacre, though she does not know what has happened to her father. The girls cradle each other in the same bed for comfort, and Jeyne cannot stop crying.{{Ref|AGOT|51}}
 +
 
 +
When Sansa is called before Queen [[Cersei Lannister]] and the [[small council]], she mentions that Jeyne has been confined with her. This annoys Cersei, who chides Ser Boros for not asking first, as the queen preferred Sansa ignorant of what had happened to Eddard's household. Lord [[Petyr Baelish]] says he will find a [[brothel|place]] for Jeyne, not in King's Landing. Queen Cersei orders Ser Boros to take Jeyne to Lord Petyr's apartments, and assure her that Littlefinger will take her to her father. When Sansa is returned to her tower room, Jeyne and all of her things are gone.{{Ref|AGOT|51}}

===''A Storm of Swords''===
When [[Jaime Lannister]] says farewell to [[Walton|Steelshanks Walton]] there is a northern girl present who claims to be [[Arya Stark]], although Jaime does not recognize her. In case [[Brienne of Tarth|Brienne]] has the idea of rescuing the girl, Jaime tells Brienne that the girl is not Arya Stark but some northern girl his father [[Tywin Lannister]] found. They pin a [[House Stark|wolf brooch]] on her and send her north to wed [[Roose Bolton]]'s legitimized bastard, [[Ramsay Snow|Ramsay Bolton]], 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 [[Jon Snow]] 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.{{Ref|aSoS|72}}

At [[Harrenhal]], Lord [[Roose Bolton]] informs Ser [[Jaime Lannister]] that [[Arya Stark]] has been found, and that he intends to return her to the [[north]].{{ref|ASOS|37}}
 +
 
 +
In [[King's Landing]], Jaime says farewell to [[Steelshanks Walton]], Roose Bolton's [[captain of the guards]], before he returns north. Accompanying Walton is a northern girl who claims to be Arya Stark, although Jaime does not recognize her. The girl is hollow-eyed and skinny with big brown eyes, and Jaime thinks she is older than Arya should be. She wears a grey dress, and a grey cloak with white satin trim, clasped with a [[wolf]] brooch with [[opal]] eyes. She tells Jaime she is happy to be marrying Lord Roose Bolton's legitimized [[bastard]], [[Ramsay Snow|Ramsay]].{{Ref|ASOS|72}}
 +
 
 +
Jaime tasks [[Brienne of Tarth]] with finding Sansa and bringing her to safety, as her late mother, Lady [[Catelyn Stark]], had made them swear to do. As Jaime and Brienne were also commanded by Catelyn to bring her Arya, Jaime tells Brienne that the girl being brought north by the Boltons is not Arya. He believes she is some northern girl found by his father, Lord [[Tywin Lannister]], and dressed up like a [[House Stark|Stark]] in order to cement the [[House Bolton|Bolton]] claim to [[Winterfell]]. Brienne is shocked, but Jaime explains that with all of Arya's kin believed dead, besides her missing sister Sansa and half-brother [[Jon Snow]] 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.{{Ref|ASOS|72}}

Queen [[Cersei Lannister]] tells the [[small council]] that Arya Stark will soon be marrying Ramsay Bolton. She thinks that as long as the girl plays her role well enough, the Boltons will not care that she is actually a "steward's whelp" dressed up by Petyr Baelish.{{Ref|AFFC|17}}

The [[House Bolton|Boltons]] call upon the northern bannermen to assemble in [[Barrowton]] to pledge loyalty to the [[Iron Throne]] and attend the wedding of "Arya" to [[Ramsay Bolton]].{{ref|ADWD|28}} After hearing that [[Stannis Baratheon]] has [[Retaking of Deepwood Motte|taken Deepwood Motte]], Roose decides to move the wedding to [[Winterfell]] to strengthen Ramsay's claim and to goad Stannis into fighting.{{ref|ADWD|32}} Jeyne is protected by [[Barbrey Dustin]], the Lady of Barrowton, during the journey from Barrowton to Winterfell.{{Ref|ADWD|37}}

As "[[Arya Stark]]", Jeyne accompanies the host of Lord [[Roose Bolton]] from the [[Twins]] to [[siege of Moat Cailin]], where she meets her groom, [[Ramsay Snow|Ramsay Bolton]]. [[Theon Greyjoy]], a captive of Ramsay, recognizes Jeyne, as he grew up alongside her at [[Winterfell]].{{Ref|ADWD|20}}
  
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 Theon for the bedding, numerous scars cover 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, implying that she had been kept in one of Baelish's brothels. Ramsay then forces Theon to prepare her sexually for him before he rapes her.{{Ref|ADWD|37}}

Jeyne spends all her time confined to a tower, and is deeply traumatized by the things Ramsay does to her. The maids who bathe her notice the bruises on her body, and the girl's sobbing is known throughout Winterfell. According to Lady Dustin, the crying of "Arya Stark" is more a danger than the army of [[Stannis Baratheon]]. The [[House Frey|Freys]] may not care, but the other northern houses who had served [[House Stark]] for generations do, and morale is being damaged from hearing the cries of [[Eddard Stark]]'s "daughter".{{ref|ADWD|41}}

At [[Castle Black]], [[Melisandre]] tells [[Jon Snow]], the [[Lord Commander of the Night's Watch]], she had a [[vision]] of a girl in grey atop a dying horse fleeing from a wedding, and they believe her to be Jon's half-sister, Arya,{{Ref|ADWD|28}} Melisandre sends a disguised [[Mance Rayder]] with six [[spearwives]] to find and protect the girl.{{Ref|ADWD|31}} [[Alys Karstark]] eventually arrives at the [[Wall]], fleeing a forced marriage to her cousin, [[Cregan Karstark]].{{Ref|ADWD|44}}

Mance infiltrates Winterfell as a singer named "Abel", with the spearwives disguised as washerwomen, the singer's relatives.{{ref|AWOIAF|Mance Rayder}}{{Ref|ADWD|37}} Jeyne pleads with Theon that they should flee the castle together, but the [[torture]]d Theon insists that Jeyne continue impersonating Arya. Theon gives away "Arya" during the wedding in the [[godswood of Winterfell]]. Theon considers cutting Jeyne's throat to end her misery, or killing Ramsay, but he is too fearful to do so.{{Ref|ADWD|37}} Ramsay has Theon strip Jeyne for the [[bedding]], and Theon sees numerous scars covering Jeyne's back where she had been [[whipping|whipped]]. Ramsay asks Jeyne if she knows how to please a man, and Jeyne replies fearfully that she has been trained, implying that she had been kept in one of Petyr Baelish's [[brothel]]s. Ramsay then forces Theon to prepare Jeyne sexually for him before he rapes her.{{Ref|ADWD|37}}  
A rescue attempt is launched by [[Mance Rayder]], who was sent south by [[Jon Snow]] to rescue "Arya Stark". Mance, under the alias Abel, brings six [[spearwives]] with him who are disguised as maids.{{ref|aDwD|37}}{{Ref|aDwD|41}} They convince Theon Greyjoy to help them.{{Ref|aDwD|46}} As they are escaping, Jeyne's scream when one of the Bolton men is killed by [[Frenya]] alerts the guards. Jeyne and Theon reach the top of the walls to realize that the rope has been left with one of the spearwives down below. Under attack by guards shooting arrows, Theon grabs Jeyne and jumps from the battlements.{{Ref|aDwD|51}}
 
  
Theon lands on top of Jeyne and breaks some of her ribs.{{ref|twow||[[Theon I (The Winds of Winter)|Theon I]]}} Jeyne and Theon are discovered by [[Mors Umber]], and brought to the main camp of [[Stannis Baratheon]].{{Ref|aDwD|62}}

Jeyne spends all her time confined to Ramsay's bedchamber in the [[Great Keep (Winterfell)|Great Keep]], and she is deeply traumatized by the things Ramsay does to her. The maids who bathe her notice bruises on her body, and the girl's sobbing is heard throughout Winterfell. Theon sometimes brings her hot water for her baths.{{Ref|ADWD|51}} According to Lady Dustin, the crying of "Arya Stark" is more a danger to the Boltons than the army of [[Stannis Baratheon]]. The [[House Frey|Freys]] may not care, but the other northern houses who had served [[House Stark]] for generations do, and morale is being damaged from hearing [[Eddard Stark]]'s "daughter" cry. Theon thinks that Barbrey is suspicious of "Arya's" identity.{{Ref|ADWD|41}}

Although Stannis's host is slowed by a blizzard during his [[march on Winterfell]], the [[northern mountain clans]]men are motivated to rescue "Ned's girl".{{Ref|ADWD|42}}
 +
 
 +
Abel's washerwomen convince Theon to help them rescue "Arya",{{Ref|ADWD|46}} but Theon keeps Jeyne's true identity a secret from Abel.{{Ref|ADWD|51}} The tension in Winterfell turns to chaos after the death of [[Walder Frey (son of Merrett)|Little Walder Frey]], and the spearwives take the opportunity to begin their attempt to rescue "Arya". The plan is to dress her up in [[Squirrel]]'s clothes, while the real Squirrel climbs away down the wall. Theon and the "washerwomen" approach Jeyne's room with water for a bath, but she is terrified to leave, thinking this is a trap set by Ramsay to test her love. Theon finally convinces Jeyne the escape is for real, and helps dress her, though the spearwives are horrified by what Ramsay has done to her body. They get her into Squirrel's clothes, and Theon tells Jeyne to follow [[Holly]] closely, and not to run. As they are escaping, [[Frenya]] kills one of the [[House Bolton guards|Bolton men]] and Jeyne screams, which alerts the other guards. Jeyne and Theon reach the top of the walls, only to realize that the rope has been left with Frenya, who is fighting down below. Guards are shooting arrows at them, and Theon knows he and Jeyne will be returned to Ramsay if they are caught. Theon grabs Jeyne and jumps from the battlements.{{Ref|ADWD|51}}

After discovering Theon and Jeyne, [[Mors Umber]] asks her questions about Winterfell to confirm her identity, such as the names of servants, including the [[Gage|cook]] and the [[Mikken|smith]]. Having lived at Winterfell, Jeyne is able to answer these questions to Mors's satisfaction. Theon whispers 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.

{{Warning/twow}}
 +
Theon, now a captive of Stannis, recalls that after he and Jeyne were rescued by [[Mors Umber]] outside [[Winterfell]], Crowfood asked Jeyne questions about the castle to confirm her identity, such as the names of servants, including [[Gage|the cook]] and [[Mikken|the smith]]. Having lived at Winterfell, Jeyne was able to answer these questions to Mors's satisfaction. Theon remembers that as he carried Jeyne on their trek to Stannis's camp, he told her that she must still pretend to be Arya, otherwise she will be nothing to them but a [[whore]]. It is feared that Jeyne will lose a bit of her nose to the frostbite, but Theon recalls assuring her that nobody will care what Arya looks like, every man will still want to marry her.<ref name=TWOW/>

Stannis decides to send "Arya" to the [[Wall]] to reunite her with her brother, [[Jon Snow]]. Theon thinks that Jon will see through Jeyne's disguise in a moment, but he does not say so. Stannis tasks Ser [[Justin Massey]] to bring Jeyne to [[Castle Black]] with an escort of six men, along with a female companion, [[Alysane Mormont]]. Justin and Tycho are then to continue on to [[Braavos]].<ref name=TWOW/>

Appearance and Character

Jeyne is an attractive girl with brown eyes, dark hair, and pretty white teeth.[7][3] She is skinny, and has a small bosom.[3]

Jeyne is the best friend of Sansa Stark.[8] She mocks Sansa's sister, Arya Stark, as "Arya Horseface", smirking and neighing when the younger girl is near.[8]

Jeyne is fond of Sansa's brother, Robb Stark,[9] and thinks the Stark ward Theon Greyjoy is handsome.[3] She enjoys lemon cakes.[7]

Recent Events

A Game of Thrones

Jeyne doing Sansa Stark's hair, by Linda Tso © Fantasy Flight Games

During a needlework session at Winterfell with Princess Myrcella Baratheon, Jeyne claims that Sansa Stark has caught the eye of Prince Joffrey Baratheon, which leads to a discussion that upsets Arya Stark.[8]

When Lord Eddard Stark is named Hand of the King, Vayon Poole comes with him to King's Landing. Jeyne accompanies him, remaining as Sansa's companion in the Tower of the Hand.[10]

During the Hand's tourney, Jeyne is frightened by Jalabhar Xho and giggles over Thoros of Myr. She declares that she will marry Lord Beric Dondarrion when she first sees the dashing lordling. After young Ser Hugh of the Vale dies in the tourney, Jeyne cries hysterically and is escorted away by Septa Mordane to regain her composure.[11]

Sansa and Jeyne discuss Eddard's appointment of Lord Beric as the leader of an expedition to arrest Ser Gregor Clegane, who has been raiding the riverlands. Sansa says Ser Loras Tyrell would have been better, but Jeyne believes Beric is as much of a hero. Sansa thinks Jeyne's crush on Beric is silly, as he is twice her age, and would consider a steward's daughter to be too far beneath him.[7]

Vayon Poole is killed in the massacre of Lord Eddard's household following his arrest for treason, but Jeyne is spared after Sandor Clegane breaks down her door with a warhammer. Ser Boros Blount of the Kingsguard brings her to the room in Maegor's Holdfast where Sansa Stark has been confined. Jeyne tells Sansa about the massacre, though she does not know what has happened to her father. The girls cradle each other in the same bed for comfort, and Jeyne cannot stop crying.[12]

When Sansa is called before Queen Cersei Lannister and the small council, she mentions that Jeyne has been confined with her. This annoys Cersei, who chides Ser Boros for not asking first, as the queen preferred Sansa ignorant of what had happened to Eddard's household. Lord Petyr Baelish says he will find a place for Jeyne, not in King's Landing. Queen Cersei orders Ser Boros to take Jeyne to Lord Petyr's apartments, and assure her that Littlefinger will take her to her father. When Sansa is returned to her tower room, Jeyne and all of her things are gone.[12]

A Clash of Kings

Jeyne, by eluas ©

Sansa Stark, a prisoner of Queen Cersei Lannister in the Red Keep, misses her vanished friend, Jeyne.[13] During the Battle of the Blackwater, Sansa sings a prayer for her friends and family, the living and the dead, including Jeyne.[14]

A Storm of Swords

At Harrenhal, Lord Roose Bolton informs Ser Jaime Lannister that Arya Stark has been found, and that he intends to return her to the north.[15]

In King's Landing, Jaime says farewell to Steelshanks Walton, Roose Bolton's captain of the guards, before he returns north. Accompanying Walton is a northern girl who claims to be Arya Stark, although Jaime does not recognize her. The girl is hollow-eyed and skinny with big brown eyes, and Jaime thinks she is older than Arya should be. She wears a grey dress, and a grey cloak with white satin trim, clasped with a wolf brooch with opal eyes. She tells Jaime she is happy to be marrying Lord Roose Bolton's legitimized bastard, Ramsay.[1]

Jaime tasks Brienne of Tarth with finding Sansa and bringing her to safety, as her late mother, Lady Catelyn Stark, had made them swear to do. As Jaime and Brienne were also commanded by Catelyn to bring her Arya, Jaime tells Brienne that the girl being brought north by the Boltons is not Arya. He believes she is some northern girl found by his father, Lord Tywin Lannister, and dressed up like a Stark in order to cement the Bolton claim to Winterfell. Brienne is shocked, but Jaime explains that with all of Arya's kin believed dead, besides her missing sister Sansa and half-brother Jon Snow 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.[1]

A Feast for Crows

Queen Cersei Lannister tells the small council that Arya Stark will soon be marrying Ramsay Bolton. She thinks that as long as the girl plays her role well enough, the Boltons will not care that she is actually a "steward's whelp" dressed up by Petyr Baelish.[16]

On the way down from the Eyrie to the Gates of the Moon, Sansa meets Myranda Royce. Myranda shares gossip with Sansa, reminding her of Jeyne.[17]

A Dance with Dragons

Theon Greyjoy giving away "Arya" in marriage, by Thrumugnyr ©

As "Arya Stark", Jeyne accompanies the host of Lord Roose Bolton from the Twins to siege of Moat Cailin, where she meets her groom, Ramsay Bolton. Theon Greyjoy, a captive of Ramsay, recognizes Jeyne, as he grew up alongside her at Winterfell.[18]

The Boltons call upon the northern bannermen to assemble in Barrowton to pledge loyalty to the Iron Throne and attend the wedding of "Arya" to Ramsay.[19] After Roose hears that Stannis Baratheon has taken Deepwood Motte, he decides to move the wedding to Winterfell, both to strengthen Ramsay's claim and to goad Stannis into fighting.[20] Jeyne is protected by Barbrey Dustin, the Lady of Barrowton, during the journey from Barrowton to Winterfell.[3]

At Castle Black, Melisandre tells Jon Snow, the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, she had a vision of a girl in grey atop a dying horse fleeing from a wedding, and they believe her to be Jon's half-sister, Arya,[19] Melisandre sends a disguised Mance Rayder with six spearwives to find and protect the girl.[21] Alys Karstark eventually arrives at the Wall, fleeing a forced marriage to her cousin, Cregan Karstark.[22]

Mance infiltrates Winterfell as a singer named "Abel", with the spearwives disguised as washerwomen, the singer's relatives.[23][3] Jeyne pleads with Theon that they should flee the castle together, but the tortured Theon insists that Jeyne continue impersonating Arya. Theon gives away "Arya" during the wedding in the godswood of Winterfell. Theon considers cutting Jeyne's throat to end her misery, or killing Ramsay, but he is too fearful to do so.[3] Ramsay has Theon strip Jeyne for the bedding, and Theon sees numerous scars covering Jeyne's back where she had been whipped. Ramsay asks Jeyne if she knows how to please a man, and Jeyne replies fearfully that she has been trained, implying that she had been kept in one of Petyr Baelish's brothels. Ramsay then forces Theon to prepare Jeyne sexually for him before he rapes her.[3]

Jeyne spends all her time confined to Ramsay's bedchamber in the Great Keep, and she is deeply traumatized by the things Ramsay does to her. The maids who bathe her notice bruises on her body, and the girl's sobbing is heard throughout Winterfell. Theon sometimes brings her hot water for her baths.[24] According to Lady Dustin, the crying of "Arya Stark" is more a danger to the Boltons than the army of Stannis Baratheon. The Freys may not care, but the other northern houses who had served House Stark for generations do, and morale is being damaged from hearing Eddard Stark's "daughter" cry. Theon thinks that Barbrey is suspicious of "Arya's" identity.[2]

Although Stannis's host is slowed by a blizzard during his march on Winterfell, the northern mountain clansmen are motivated to rescue "Ned's girl".[25]

Abel's washerwomen convince Theon to help them rescue "Arya",[26] but Theon keeps Jeyne's true identity a secret from Abel.[24] The tension in Winterfell turns to chaos after the death of Little Walder Frey, and the spearwives take the opportunity to begin their attempt to rescue "Arya". The plan is to dress her up in Squirrel's clothes, while the real Squirrel climbs away down the wall. Theon and the "washerwomen" approach Jeyne's room with water for a bath, but she is terrified to leave, thinking this is a trap set by Ramsay to test her love. Theon finally convinces Jeyne the escape is for real, and helps dress her, though the spearwives are horrified by what Ramsay has done to her body. They get her into Squirrel's clothes, and Theon tells Jeyne to follow Holly closely, and not to run. As they are escaping, Frenya kills one of the Bolton men and Jeyne screams, which alerts the other guards. Jeyne and Theon reach the top of the walls, only to realize that the rope has been left with Frenya, who is fighting down below. Guards are shooting arrows at them, and Theon knows he and Jeyne will be returned to Ramsay if they are caught. Theon grabs Jeyne and jumps from the battlements.[24]

The two survive due to landing in deep snow, although Theon lands on top of Jeyne and breaks some of her ribs.[27] Jeyne and Theon are discovered by Mors Umber, who has Tycho Nestoris of the Iron Bank bring the escapees to Stannis's camp in the crofters' village.[28] Jeyne suffers from frostbite on her nose.[28]

At Castle Black, Lord Commander Jon Snow receives a letter in which Ramsay claims that Mance has been captured and his spearwives slain. Ramsay demands that his bride be returned to him. A number of free folk volunteer to march with Jon against the Bastard of Bolton, but then he is stabbed in the mutiny at Castle Black.[29]

The Winds of Winter

Warning
This information has thus far been released in a sample chapter for The Winds of Winter, and might therefore not be in finalized form. Keep in mind that the content as described below is still subject to change.

Theon, now a captive of Stannis, recalls that after he and Jeyne were rescued by Mors Umber outside Winterfell, Crowfood asked Jeyne questions about the castle to confirm her identity, such as the names of servants, including the cook and the smith. Having lived at Winterfell, Jeyne was able to answer these questions to Mors's satisfaction. Theon remembers that as he carried Jeyne on their trek to Stannis's camp, he told her that she must still pretend to be Arya, otherwise she will be nothing to them but a whore. It is feared that Jeyne will lose a bit of her nose to the frostbite, but Theon recalls assuring her that nobody will care what Arya looks like, every man will still want to marry her.[27]

Stannis decides to send "Arya" to the Wall to reunite her with her brother, Jon Snow. Theon thinks that Jon will see through Jeyne's disguise in a moment, but he does not say so. Stannis tasks Ser Justin Massey to bring Jeyne to Castle Black with an escort of six men, along with a female companion, Alysane Mormont. Justin and Tycho are then to continue on to Braavos.[27]

At the Gates of the Moon, Sansa remembers how she used to dash through Winterfell with Jeyne, with Arya running after them trying to keep up.[30]

Quotes about Jeyne

Of course, Jeyne had been in love with Lord Beric ever since she had first glimpsed him in the lists. Sansa thought she was being silly; Jeyne was only a steward's daughter, after all, and no matter how much she mooned after him, Lord Beric would never look at someone so far beneath him, even if she hadn't been half his age.[7]

—thoughts of Sansa Stark

Sansa: No one will talk to us or tell us what's happened

Cersei: Us?
Boros: We put the steward's girl in with her. We did not know what else to do with her.

Cersei: Next time, you will ask. The gods only know what sort of tales she's been filling Sansa's head with.[12]

Sansa: Where is Jeyne's father? Why can't Ser Boros take her to him instead of Lord Petyr having to do it? Where are you sending her? She hasn't done anything wrong, she's a good girl.
Cersei: She's upset you. We can't be having that. Not another word, now. Lord Baelish will see that Jeyne's well taken care of, I promise you.[12]

The girl's long brown hair blew wild in the wind. She had a pretty face, he thought, but her eyes were sad and wary.[1]

—thoughts of Jaime Lannister

If the north must have a Stark, we'll give them one.[16]

That's Sansa's little friend, the steward's girl. Jeyne, that was her name. Jeyne Poole.[18]

—thoughts of Theon Greyjoy

Jeyne, Jeyne, it rhymes with pain.[3]

—thoughts of Theon Greyjoy

Brown eyes. They should be grey. Someone will see. Someone will remember.[3]

—thoughts of Theon Greyjoy

Valiant Ned's precious little girl. Lady Arya's sobs do us more harm than all of Lord Stannis's swords and spears. If the Bastard means to remain Lord of Winterfell, he had best teach his wife to laugh.[2]

Jeyne and Theon Greyjoy escape Winterfell by leaping from the battlements. Art by Juliana Pinho

We are all dead. I told them this was folly, but none of them would listen. Abel had doomed them. All singers were half-mad. In songs, the hero always saved the maiden from the monster's castle, but life was not a song, no more than Jeyne was Arya Stark. Her eyes are the wrong color. And there are no heroes here, only whores.[24]

—thoughts of Theon Greyjoy

They trained you in a brothel. Jeyne is the next thing to a whore, you must go on being Arya. No one will care what Arya looks like, so long as she is heir to Winterfell. A hundred men will want to marry her. A thousand.[27]

I saved her. I saved the girl. We flew.[27]
