A Clash of Kings

In the middle of a Harvest Feast Meera and her brother Jojen Reed arrive to pledge Reeds' support to Winterfell and Robb after Eddard Stark's death. Maester Luwin tells Bran that he should meet these two warmly because Howland Reed was a great friend of his father and these are his children. Meera with Jojen when he asks about the Direwolves, wanting to see them and is told they are in the Godswood. Later Meera manages to defeat the direwolf Summer using a net and frog spear. Bran claims that Summer won, but then Jojen points out that Summer is tangled up in the net and cannot escape. After Bran does a mock fight with Summer, he asks her if she was taught to fight by their Master at Arm, and she tells him that Graywater Watch has no knights, master at arms, maester, or ravans; ravans and the Reeds’ enemies cannot find Graywater because it moves (although many have tried). Bran has never heard of the castle that moves. He asks her if he can visit Graywater after the conflict, and she tells him that he can come then or now (he has never been away from Winterfell). Jojen tells Bran that everyone in the Castle hears him scream when he sleeps, and asks about what frightens him. As Jojen questions Bran and pushes him to admit he has the wolf dreams, Bran gets agitated, which causes Summer to get agitated, and start to act aggressively towards Jojen. Meera tells her brother the climb the tree, but he initially refuses, telling her it is not yet his time to die. When [Shaggy Dog] joins Summer, they both start to attack, and Jojen finally climbs the GodsWood, Meera following him. Only after Hodar arrives to chase the direwolves away at Bran’s instruction, they can climb down. Later Meera is behind Jojen when they enter Bran’s room after he is left in his room by Osha (while being carries, Brans had questioned her and Osha has told Bran that she has seen many of the mythical beasts of the North, but not a three-eyed-Crow). Bran finally tells them about wolf dreams. Then Jojen reveals his dream: he dreamed that sea would come to Winterfell. She is also with Jojen and Bran as they play a game of tiles and discus the dreams. When Bran tells them that Maester Luwin thinks that it should be possible to change the dreams, Meera agrees with Bran that it should be possible. She gets angry with her brother when he tells them that what he sees always come true. Jojen reveals that he has seen bodies of Bran and Rickonat the feet of the man they call Reek (not revealed as actually the Ramsay Bolton) and he is skinning off their faces with a knife. Meera states that she could go down to the dungeons and kill Reek now, but Jojen tells her she will not succeed; First the jailers would stop her, and they will never believe. When Theon Greyjoy takes Winterfell, Bran is lead out of his room where he meets Meera and Jojen, who have also been taken captive. Later, Bran, Meera, Jojen, Rickon, Osha and Hodor fake an escape from Winterfell, returning to hide in the crypts until after the castle is sacked by Ramsay Snow. Hodor has to force the crypts' door open with his massive strength and they find the castle destroyed. They discover many of the bodies of the people Jojen saw dead in his dream. In the Godswood they find Maester Luwin unconscious. They waken him and he tells them of all the enemies in all directions. Luwin advises Osha to split the Stark children. Osha decides to take Rickon with her and Jojen says that they will take Bran. After they separate, Jojen tells the others that their road is north, so he, Meera, Hodor and Bran travel north.

A Storm of Swords

Meera hunts for the group as they make their way towards the Wall. They eventually reach the Wall at the Nightfort and meet Samwell Tarly of the Night's Watch. He leads them through a secret door at the bottom of a well that takes them through to the north side of the Wall. There they meet Coldhands, an enigmatic figure of uncertain allegiance.

A Dance with Dragons

While traveling with Coldhands north of the Wall, Meera, Bran, Jojen and Hodor are forced to take shelter in an abandoned wildling village while Coldhands deals with a threat. The group discusses the nature of Coldhands, deciding that he is not alive. Meera does not trust him. They reach the cave of the three-eyed crow, but are ambushed by wights just outside the cave’s entrance. Because Jojen is too weak to continue, Meera carries him on her back. Inside the cave, the group meet the remaining Children of the Forest and the three-eyed crow. Jojen falls into a resigned depression, and Meera struggles to keep both their spirits up.
