===''A Game of Thrones''===
Lady is discovered by [[Robb Stark]] and [[Jon Snow]], along with the rest of her litter, after her mother was killed by a [[stag]].{{Ref|aGoT|1}} Lady bonds with [[Sansa Stark]], and adopts her mistress's dainty manners and trusting nature.{{Ref|AGOT|15}}

At the [[crossroads inn]] on the journey from [[Winterfell]] to [[King's Landing]], Sansa is frightened when she meets Ser [[Ilyn Payne]], the [[King's Justice]], and Lady growls and moves to protect her. Prince [[Joffrey Baratheon]], Sansa's betrothed, courts Sansa and asks her to ride with him, and she leaves Lady behind at the camp.{{Ref|AGOT|15}} Near the [[ruby ford]], Joffrey and Sansa come across Sansa's sister, [[Arya Stark]], playing at swords with her friend [[Mycah]]. Joffrey draws his sword, [[Lion's Tooth]], and threatens Mycah, but Arya fights with him; her direwolf [[Nymeria (direwolf)|Nymeria]] disarms and superficially wounds him.{{Ref|AGOT|15}}

In a trial at [[Darry]], King [[Robert Baratheon]] orders Nymeria killed, but she cannot be found, so the spiteful Queen [[Cersei Lannister]] orders Lady to be put down instead. Despite Sansa's protests, her father, Lord [[Eddard Stark]], cannot get Robert to relent. Eddard chooses to perform the execution himself, as is his custom, and to spare Lady pain she might suffer if Ilyn Payne were to do the deed. The trusting Lady does not sense Eddard's intention, and is killed with a single blow of his greatsword, [[Ice]]. Eddard orders for four of his men to take Lady's body north to be buried at Winterfell.{{Ref|AGOT|16}}

When Lady's bones arrive at Winterfell, her litter-mates [[Grey Wind]], [[Shaggydog]], and [[Summer]] all sense her death and howl mournfully. Lady is buried in the [[lichyard]] at Winterfell, where the [[Kings of Winter]] had laid their faithful servants.{{Ref|AGOT|53}}

In King's Landing, when Eddard hears that [[Summer]] had saved [[Bran Stark]]'s life, he wonders if the [[old gods]] had sent the direwolves, and what it might mean that he had killed Sansa's.{{Ref|AGOT|20}}

Sansa weeps for days, but cannot hate Joffrey for Lady, and instead places the majority of the blame on her sister Arya for Lady's death. Sansa blames Queen Cersei as well, but softens to her nevertheless.{{Ref|AGOT|29}} Sansa sometimes dreams of Lady, and feels as if the direwolf were there watching her.{{Ref|AGOT|44}}

When [[Robb Stark]] receives the letter Queen Cersei had forced Sansa to write to Winterfell, calling Eddard Stark a [[traitor]] and summoning Robb to swear fealty to King [[Joffrey I Baratheon]], he does not understand what could have caused Sansa to write such things. Their brother Bran believes it is due to Sansa having lost Lady.{{Ref|AGOT|53}}
