Osha continues working in Winterfell's kitchens,{{ref|ACOK|16}} and she sometimes helps carry the crippled Bran.{{ref|ACOK|4}}{{ref|ACOK|35}} She remains wary about [[Summer]] and [[Shaggydog]], the [[direwolves]] of Bran and Rickon.{{ref|ACOK|16}} When Bran asks about the [[red comet]], Osha responds it is "blood and fire, boy, and nothing sweet."{{ref|ACOK|4}} Instead of bathing in the hot springs of the castle's godswood, she swims naked in the cold pool by the [[heart tree]] and attempts to find its bottom.{{ref|ACOK|16}}

Osha pours [[ale]] during the [[harvest feast (299)|harvest feast]] held at Winterfell. When one of [[Leobald Tallhart]]'s men slides his hand up her skirts, she breaks the flagon over his head.{{ref|ACOK|21}}

Bran has recurring dreams of a [[three-eyed crow]]. When the boy asks Osha if she knows the way north of the Wall, she tells him to look for the [[Ice Dragon (constellation)|Ice Dragon]].{{ref|ACOK|35}}

After [[capture of Winterfell|Winterfell is taken]] by the [[turncloak]] Theon Greyjoy and his [[ironborn]], Theon has all of Winterfell's people gather in the [[Great Hall of Winterfell|Great Hall]] so that they can hear Bran yield to him. The Stark prisoner [[Ramsay Snow|Reek]] bends the knee to Theon, and is set free and armed. Osha then steps up, remininding Theon that she was a captive too. Bran is hurt by this betrayal, as he thought she was his friend. Osha says that she is tired of scrubbing pots and warming Gage's bed, and wants a spear in her hand again. The ironborn [[Stygg]] harasses her, and in response, Osha knees him in the crotch and knocks him to the ground with the butt of his own spear, while the other ironborn laugh. Theon laughs as well, and tells her to keep the spear as she bends the knee.{{ref|ACOK|46}}

However, not long after, Osha secretly escapes Winterfell with Bran and Rickon Stark, [[Jojen Reed|Jojen]] and [[Meera Reed]], [[Hodor]], and the direwolves Summer and Shaggydog. She kills the ironman [[Drennan]] in the process, seducing him before cutting his throat with his own knife.{{Ref|ACOK|50}}

Theon assumes that the escapees are being led by Osha. During the hunt for them in the [[wolfswood]], Maester Luwin convinces Theon to show mercy on the children and Hodor if they are found. Theon says he will not spare Osha, as she pissed on the oath she swore to him.{{Ref|ACOK|50}} In actuality, Osha, the Starks, the Reeds, and Hodor have hidden themselves in the [[crypt of Winterfell]]{{Ref|ACOK|69}} after doubling back from the wolfswood.{{ref|ACOK|50}} Unable to find their quarry, Theon and Reek kill [[Miller's sons|two miller's boys]] and present their corpses as those of the missing Bran and Rickon.{{ref|ACOK|56}}

While Bran's party are in hiding, Reek reveals himself as [[Ramsay Snow]], betrays Theon, and orders the [[sack of Winterfell]].{{ref|ACOK|66}} When Bran [[skinchanger|sees through]] Summer's eyes that Winterfell is empty and on fire, Osha decides they can go aboveground. Wielding a long oaken spear, she also takes the sword from [[Eddard Stark]]'s tomb before they leave, one of the last to come from [[Mikken]]'s forge. They emerge to find Winterfell in ruins and filled with corpses, which angers Osha. She realizes it was not Theon who sacked Winterfell, as many ironborn are among the slain, but someone from [[House Bolton]]. They find the mortally-wounded Maester [[Luwin]] in the godswood, and Osha agrees with him that the Stark brothers should be split up for safety. Before she leaves the godswood, Osha grants Luwin the [[gift of mercy]]. Outside Winterfell, Bran, Summer, the Reeds, and Hodor head north, while Osha escorts Rickon and Shaggydog through the [[East Gate]] toward the [[kingsroad]] and parts unknown.{{Ref|ACOK|69}}
