Dacey Mormont is the heir of House Mormont. She is the daughter of Maege Mormont, Lady of Bear Island, and the niece of Jeor Mormont, Lord Commander of the Night's Watch.
Appearance
[edit]Dacey is six feet tall,[3] lean,[4] and lanky.[3] She is comfortable both in lady's garb and in mail and leather. The black bear of House Mormont is on her shield and surcoat.[4] Although her choice of garb seems queer for a lady to Catelyn Stark, she appears more comfortable as both a warrior and a woman compared to Brienne of Tarth. When she wears a dress instead of a hauberk, Dacey is quite pretty. She is tall and willowy, with a shy smile that makes her long face light up. She is graceful both on the dance floor and in the training yard.[5]
History
[edit]At an age when most girls would receive dolls, Dacey was given a morningstar.[3]
Recent Events

[edit]Dacey rides south with her mother, Lady Maege Mormont, against the Lannisters with Robb Stark, with Dacey being numbered among Robb's battle companions and personal guards during the battle in the Whispering Wood.[3]
A Storm of Swords
[edit]
Dacey, one of Robb's sworn swords,[6] is among the northern nobles who march to the Twins to attend the wedding between Lord Edmure Tully and Roslin Frey, and then to recover Moat Cailin from the ironborn. En route she tells Catelyn Stark about the hall of the Mormonts and Lynesse Hightower.[4]
Dacey is one of the Robb's guards during the wedding feast at the Twins, and she dances with the king during the festivities. Edwyn Frey's refusal to dance with Dacey is one of the last signs of tension before the Freys turn on their guests in the Red Wedding. Dacey manages to fend off Ser Benfrey Frey, smashing a flagon of wine in his face, but she is killed when Ser Ryman Frey drives his longaxe into her belly.[5]
A Feast for Crows

Quotes
