* AffectionateNickname: After her introduction, the fans began to called her Lady She-Bear or Lady Little She-Bear.

* AffectionateNickname: After her introduction, the fans began to called her Lady Bear or Lady Little Bear.

Another Stark vassal house. Their lands are in the middle of the North's western coastline, including substantial parts of the Wolfswood, and their stronghold is Deepwood Motte.

* AChildShallLeadThem: Upon the death of her mother during Robb Stark's campaign, she became the head of her house.

* AChildShallLeadThem: By far the youngest head of a house seen in the series, about Bran's age at the start of the series. Considering his father and grandfather were prime examples of TheBugGuy and TheBrute, it comes across as striking and indicative of House Umber's fall.

* ThisIsUnforgivable: [[spoiler: Sansa is so pissed off at them for surrendering Rickon to the Boltons that she wishes to hang them all after they're done with the Boltons.]]
* WeUsedToBeFriends: [[spoiler: Jon allowing the Wildlings to go South of the Wall pisses off their new Lord so much that he allied with the Boltons despite hating them.]]

* AdaptationalVillainy: He dies in the Red Wedding in the books, trying to save Robb's life. In the show, he's an ally of Ramsay Bolton (although he doesn't like him as a person, but allies with him for pragmatic reasons), hated his late father, and [[spoiler:hands Rickon Stark over to the Boltons, which ultimately leads to Rickon's death]].

* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: Killed by a man belonging to a group of people he hates who is friends with the person who belongs to the house he betrayed.]]

* BadassInCharge: Leader of his house and Bolton's infantry. He takes on Tormund, one of the best fighters in the series, and would have killed him [[spoiler: if the arrival of the Knights of the Vale hadn't distracted him at the crucial moment.]]

-->'''Smalljon''': Who owns the North?!
-->'''Bolton soldiers''': We do!
-->'''Smalljon''': WHO OWNS THE NORTH!?
-->'''Bolton soldiers''': WE DO!
-->'''Smalljon''': SHOW ME!

* BrutalHonesty: He inherited his father's mouth for sure. Calls Roose Bolton a cunt, repeatedly, to his ''son's face'' [[spoiler:and openly admits that he knows Ramsay killed Roose]].

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler: Tormund rips out his throat with his teeth and then brutally rearranges his face with a dirk.]]

** He is also this to Tormund Giantsbane, as they are both large, thickly bearded, ferocious warriors with a hot temper and foul mouth, but Smalljon serves as TheBrute to Ramsay while Tormund is TheBigGuy to Jon. [[spoiler: Its rather fitting that they face each other in the Battle of the Bastards.]]

* {{Jerkass}}: Umbers aren't exactly known for being friendly, but Smalljon truly shows himself to be this when he [[spoiler: betrays Rickon to Ramsay.]]

* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler: Smalljon hates Wildlings and joins the Boltons so they can help them kills the Wildlings, ends up being killed by Tormund, a wildling. Even more karmic is that Tormund's nickname is Giantsbane, making fit that he would off a [[TheBrute brute]] like Smalljon. Not to mention, Smalljon's House was loyal to the Starks before he betrayed them, which resulted in Rickon's death, and he ended up getting killed by someone who used to be Jon's enemy and became his friend.]]

* SparedByTheAdaptation: Smalljon Umber was killed during the Red Wedding in the books. Here, he isn't even introduced until long after that event. [[spoiler: He dies during the second battle at Winterfell.]]

* VillainBall: He knows what an unknown warhorn blowing in the middle of battle means, [[spoiler: but Tormund, being a Wildling, doesn't and bites his throat out while Smalljon is trying to see who is entering the fray.]]

* DefrostingIceQueen: Despite their rough introduction, she eventually mellows to Jon and Sansa. [[spoiler: She even nominates Jon as the new King in the North, which the other lords accept.]]

* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler:Unknowingly throws Littlefinger's plan to make Sansa his puppet out of whack by choosing Jon Snow as king.]]

* WhenSheSmiles: Despite introducing herself as a [[IceQueen no-nonsense]] LittleMissSnarker, she looks adorable while smiling during [[spoiler: Jon's AwesomeMomentOfCrowning]] (which ''she'' initiated).

* HeelFaceTurn: After Jon [[spoiler: wins the Battle of the Bastards,]] Robett joins him.
* IOweYouMyLife: Another reason he did not join the Stark restoration army is because it was the Boltons that helped them liberate their lands from the Ironborn. [[spoiler: After the battle, he asks for forgiveness knowing full well that Jon could punish him. When Jon simply responds "There is nothing to forgive.", the look of relief on his face is immediately followed by Glover's declaration that he will fight behind Jon Snow from that point on.]]

* TookALevelInKindness: [[spoiler:After House Bolton's defeat, he states he regrets not helping Jon Snow and House Stark in their greatest hour of need. He asks for forgiveness, and Jon Snow tells him that there is nothing to forgive. Afterwards, he along with other Northerners declare Jon Snow the new King of the North.]]
-->'''Robett''': [[spoiler: There will be more fights to come, but House Glover ''will'' stand behind House Stark...and I will stand behind Jon Snow... *draw his sword* THE KING IN THE NORTH!]]

* SmallRoleBigImpact: He shows up for about one short scene at the end of the sixth season, but after Lady Mormont declared her endorsement of [[spoiler: Jon Snow as King in The North]], his agreement is what catalyzes the motion.

* CanonForeigner: Ned has no book counterpart and was otherwise created for the show.

* AgeLift: The books' Smalljon is young enough that he's still growing, to the point he could grow taller than the Greatjon. Dean S. Jagger, who plays Smalljon, is in his late thirties.

* {{Badass}}: Is a small child, but the withering glance thrown at Ramsay Bolton (Possibly the most menacing character in the series) and her terseness with men twice her age show that this little girl fears nothing and no one.

[[folder:Ned Umber]]

* AmbiguousSituation: [[spoiler: House Umber's current state is unknown after allying with the Boltons, and losing, even betraying Rickon Stark. Their lord was killed, though Lady Tarly had mentioned Lord Umber (likely Greatjon) having daughters.]]

* LargeAndInCharge: A 6'6 BoisterousBruiser who is the head of a noble house in the North.

* TheBigGuy: To 6'5 1/2" brutal warrior to Robb's [[TheHero Hero]].

* NotSoDifferent: He's been fighting Wildlings so much he knows their national anthem.
** "Fuck kneeling and fuck oaths."

%% Killed Off For Real is when a character dies a death that "under normal circumstances for the setting and genre could have been reversed, undone or revealed to be some sort of trick. If %% it's a setting with All Deaths Final, this never comes into play".

* IOweYouMyLife: Another reason he did not join the Stark restoration army is because it was the Boltons that helped them liberate their lands from the Ironborn. [[spoiler: And then after the battle, when he asks for forgiveness, he knows Jon is well within his rights to punish him. When Jon simply responds "There is nothing to forgive.", the look of pure relief on his face is immediately followed by Glover declaring he will stand behind Jon Snow.]]

* IOweYouMyLife: Another reason he did not join the Stark restoration army is because it was the Boltons that helped them liberate their lands from the Ironborn.

* BrutalHonesty: Lyanna is not one for softening her words or the reality of the situation. The Starks didn't come to reminiscence, they came for her soldiers, no point wasting time chatting. Jon's an illegitimate son while Sansa's been married twice, making neither a legal Stark. And if they want her to send what little men she has into yet another battle for the Starks, then they had best give her a damn good reason. She's honest towards herself, too: when Sansa tries to compliment her by saying that she'll grow up to be a great beauty, Lyanna responds: "I doubt it. My mother wasn't a great beauty or any other kind of beauty."

* DefrostingIceQueen: Despite their rough introduction, she eventually mellows down to Jon and Sansa. [[spoiler: She even nominates Jon as the new King in the North, which he won.]]

* IceQueen: She's a no-nonsense character and her frank nature is quite intimidating. Appropriately enough, her House's eat is called the Bay of Ice.

* MemeticBadass: Out of universe, fans quickly latched on to the little girl who stole every scene she was in, with several memes showing her to be the strongest character in the story. In-universe, Davos is clearly impressed that her attitude face-to-face matches her in-person appearance. Moreover, Lyanna Mormont made sure everyone knew that House Mormont was the first to commit to Jon Snow, and she is directly responsible for Snow's ascendance as King in the North.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Most of her decisions are taken with advice of her maester and sentinel but she also know when it's her call. Even though she is loyal to the Stark she won't throw her men in battle without more convincing arguments and does not ask any large compensation from the Stark when she sides withe them as they are her liege.

* TheStoic: Past her DeathGlare to Ramsay Bolton, she shows very little emotions.

* YoungAndInCharge: Lady Lyanna is now the leader of House Mormont despite being a child. Judging by how she handles the room and her own advisor during her meeting with the Stark leadership, she certainly seems to have the disposition for it.

* MyNaymeIs: The first Lord Cerwyn from called Medger instead of Edgar.

* ArtEvolution: Their heraldry switched from having the bear passant (striding) from Season 1 onwards to having the bear rampant (rearing on its hind legs) in Season 6, without explanation.

* AdaptationalVillainy: He helps Wyman Manderley take down House Bolton from the very start in the books, and- so far as we know- isn't bigoted against the Wildlings.
