==Appearance and Character==
{{See also|:Category:Images of Ramsay Snow|l1=Images of Ramsay Snow}}
Ramsay is an ugly young man, even when dressed finely. He is big boned and slope shouldered, with a fleshiness indicating he will be fat later in life. Ramsay's skin is pink and blotchy, his nose broad, his hair long and dark and dry.{{ref|ACOK|35}}{{Ref|ADWD|12}} Although his mouth is small, Ramsay's lips are wide and meaty, wormy looking, and he smiles a wet-lipped smile. His distinctive eyes resemble Roose's - small, close-set, and oddly pale, like two chips of dirty ice. Ramsay sometimes wears a [[garnet]] cut in the shape of a drop of blood in his right ear.{{Ref|ADWD|12}}

Ramsay's attire includes calfskin boots, velvet doublet, [[silver]]-chased swordbelt, and a [[sable]] cloak.{{ref|ACOK|66}} He also sometimes wears a black leather jerkin over a pink velvet doublet slashed with dark red satin, along with black boots, belt, and scabbard.{{ref|ADWD|12}} For battle Ramsay wears dark armor with a red helm and a pale pink cloak. His rounded helm and gorget resemble the face and shoulders of a skinless and bloody man whose mouth is open in a silent scream.{{ref|ACOK|66}}

Ramsay's weapons include a [[falchion]], a dagger, and a [[flaying]] knife, all with hilts of yellow [[bone]].{{ref|ADWD|32}}

Ramsay considers himself a true [[House Bolton|Bolton]] despite his birth{{ref|aCoK|16}} and is highly resentful of his baseborn status, referring to himself proudly as the trueborn scion of the [[Dreadfort]] and violently correcting those who refer to him otherwise.{{ref|ACOK|66}}{{Ref|ADWD|32}}

Ramsay is a sadist; he is cruel, savage and wild, taking delight in torturing others. He is quite fond of the old [[House Bolton]] custom of flaying their enemies alive.{{Ref|ADWD|12}}

Ramsay is a cunning{{ref|ASOS|49}} and capable manipulator. He is particularly good at thinking on his feet,{{ref|ACOK|66}} though less savvy when it comes to long-term consequences and intricate politics.{{ref|ADWD|32}} He openly enjoys abusive practices such as having young women stripped naked and released into the Bolton forests, before hunting them with a pack of [[Bastard's girls|feral dogs]]. He gives a quick death to women who give him good sport (after raping them first), then flays their corpses. He likes to name his dogs after the women he enjoys most to "honor" them. The women who do not give him good sport are raped and then flayed alive. The skins of his kills are brought back with him to the Dreadfort as gruesome trophies. The bodies of the woman are fed to his dogs.{{ref|ADWD|12}}

Ramsay's father, Lord [[Roose Bolton]], chides him for his "amusements", and encourages Ramsay to incorporate his creed of "a peaceful land, a quiet people"{{Ref|ADWD|32}} into his own, if Ramsay ever hopes to rule. Roose states that Ramsay is fearless, which is a bad thing, as fear keeps a man alive in a treacherous world.{{Ref|ADWD|32}}

Ramsay, though savage in battle, was never officially taught at arms. His tutor in martial prowess is [[Reek]], his serving man, who has never received any sword training himself. Ramsay's swordsmanship style is vicious and highly aggressive, wielding his sword as if it were a butcher's cleaver.{{ref|ADWD|32}}
