A Dance with Dragons
Willow accompanies Mance Rayder along with five other spearwives to Winterfell on a mission to free "Arya Stark" (the girl is actually Jeyne Poole) who is to wed Ramsay Snow. Mance disguises himself as "Abel", a singer, and the six spearwives pretend to be his mother, wife, two daughters, and two sisters, who perform the instruments with him. Abel and the spearwives play at the wedding feast.[1]
After several men-at-arms and squires are found dead at Winterfell, Theon Greyjoy disbelieves the spearwives' claims of innocence.[2][3] The spearwives enlist the help of a reluctant and fearful Theon in freeing Jeyne.[2][3] The six spearwives, disguised as maids and accompanied by Theon, walk into Jeyne's room under the pretext of bringing hot water so Jeyne can have a bath. As they fight their way out of the castle, Willow and the other spearwives are taken down one by one by the Bolton men.[3]
According to a letter received by Jon Snow at Castle Black, Ramsay has captured Mance and has him wearing as a cloak made from the skins of the six women who accompanied him to Winterfell.[4]
