History Characters / ASongOfIceAndFireRiverlandsHouses

* FamilyThemeNaming: Jason, Jorah, Joseth, Jeffory, Jocelyn - fair to say that the Mallisters like their J names.

* AmbiguouslyGay: Her exact relationship with Rhena is unclear. She was one of Rhena's rotating favorites as a LadyInWaiting, but they remained close even after Melony was replaced and she never married before her demise.

King of the Rivers and Hills during the time of the Andal invasion.

* DropTheHammer: His weapon of choice.

* OutlivingOnesOffspring: One of her children was stillbirth, another died in infancy and [[spoiler:her only son Little Walder gets killed at Winterfell]].

* RevengeBeforeReason: Upon learning that Ser Willam of the Kingsguard was killed by brigands, he urged Jaehaerys to go to war with Pentos. Cooler heads prevailed. Before that, he'd also commented in Jaehaerys' presence that if the king's sister, Rhaena, had threatened to sic Balerion on him the way she'd threatened another lord, he would have cut out her tongue. Jaehaerys only rebuked him for that, likely because A) the other lord in question wasn't in His Grace's good graces for also treating Rhaena like crap, and B) both king and council took more issue with Lord Myles' words than with [[StrawmanHasAPoint his broader point]].

* WidowWoman: Her husband Merrett is executed by the Brotherhood without Banners for his part on the Red Wedding.

* WidowWoman: After Forrest's death at the Fishfeed.

* BlessedWithSuck: With its numerous rivers and flat land, the Riverlands are the second most fertile region in Westeros, surpassed only by the Reach. Centrally located, the Riverlands are only region that touches both the Narrow Sea and the Sunset Sea, and the River Trident allows for easy navigation between coasts, resulting in the Riverlands being in a strong position for trade. However, there are no natural boundaries along the borders of the Riverlands, making the region extremely easy to invade, and the many rivers within the Riverlands then serve as a natural defense for the invaders as much as it is for the River Lords.

* NamesTheSame: Lord Petyr Piper shares his name with the titular picker of pickled peppers from the tongue-twister.

* UnwantedSpouse: Her husband Merrett found her disappointed and considered her a shrew.
