Character Personal History:

Edric is the third son of Lord Edrick Stark, but the first child by his second wife Joanna Reed. As a child, he was quiet, observant, and liked to keep to himself, yet got into fights when provoked. After managing to beat up a thieving boy so brutally that he was left crippled, Edric's lord father immediately doubled his hours in the training yard to keep the boy occupied and out of trouble. His mother used to say he was like one of those lizard-lions that lived in the Neck: composed and calm right up to the very moment they snapped. Although naturally stoic and emotionless, Edric has adapted to become superficially charming over the years, fooling almost everyone around him. Despite this, he is loyal to his house and very protective of both his sisters. Seemingly a nice young man who has outgrown his violent bursts.

Shortly before turning 13, Edric found a direwolf pup lost in the woods north of Winterfell and kept him. He named the wolf Havoc, at the time convinced that it'd strike fear in the hearts of his enemies, even though he didn't have any back then. The wolf took a liking to him as well as his younger sister Elyssa and his foster-brother Robert Royce, and Edric has always used him as a judge of character when it comes to strangers. Edric is rather fond of his pet, especially since he seems to be the only animal who likes him.

Both he and his direwolf joined their brothers Eirek and Damin in the battle for the Sandskull Keep in 700.

Character Physical Description:

Edric is tall and lean, toned from endless hours in the training yard. He has dark brown hair and blue eyes with flecks of moss green in them. He keeps his face clean shaven and likes to dress nicely for the occasion, perhaps not as modestly as your average Stark.

Character Reputation: Exceedingly handsome, proficient with a sword, often serious. The Stark with the direwolf.

[Edric Stark]

Second

Character Name: Dacey Snow
Character Age: 17 (b. 683)
Character Nationality: Northerner

Character Skills:

Noteworthy: Small Blades
Noteworthy: Stealth
Apprentice: Archery
Apprentice: Pickpocketing
Apprentice: Forgery
Novice: Disguise
Beginner: Intrigue
Beginner: Charm

Character Personal History:

Dacey is the bastard daughter of Lord Edrick Stark and Alyce Bolton. Not long after her birth, her mother passed away. Disliked at Dreadfort for being Stark-spawn, Dacey spent most her childhood enduring increasingly creative abuse at the hands of her Bolton relatives. On her fifteenth nameday, after being lured into the woods for a celebratory mind-game, Dacey managed to slash one of Lord Bolton's sons across the face with a dagger and stab another in the gut. She stole their horses and left them there to bleed out, only to later hear of their survival.

Following her escape from Dreadfort, she lived in various villages, hunting what she could and stealing just enough to stay alive. About six months later, the Boltons learned of her whereabouts and rode to the village. Dacey managed to escape just in time, riding for the only place that had the power to keep her safe from her deranged cousins; Winterfell.

Character Physical Description:

Having been very scrawny for most her life, Dacey has gained some weight after being taken in by the Starks and looks a lot healthier now, even though she still remains slender. Somewhat toned from countless hours of handling bows and knives in the wilderness, Dacey is of medium height, has long blonde hair and pale blue eyes. Her face is very pretty and it is obvious that her parents were highborn, but there happens to be a distinctive small scar running along her left cheekbone. Although usually covered, her calves have many bite marks from being run down by dogs a few times in the past.

Character Reputation: Known in the North as the Stark bastard that fled the Boltons. The rumours that she stabbed two of them are generally denied by the Boltons.

Apprentice: Persuasion
Novice: Poisons
Novice: Stealth
Beginner: Small Blades

Character Personal History:

Rylene is the only daughter of Lord Ryswell and was sent to be fostered at Winterfell at the age of 8. She had a relatively uneventful childhood and to keep herself entertained, she established somewhat of a harmless network at Winterfell, letting young cup-bearers and maids report to her the doings and whereabouts of people that actually mattered. While a fun game, it taught her the very basics of knowledge is power.

Character Physical Description:

Tall for her age, Rylene is lithe and almost effortlessly graceful in her movements. She has dark brown eyes and wavy auburn hair that reaches her shoulder blades. She is pretty of face, but her default expression is usually something akin to disapproval.

Character Reputation:

Little known outside of Winterfell and the Rills.
