History Characters / GameOfThronesOtherNorthernHouses

* AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs: The Ironborn took their castle during the events of Seasons 2-4.

* UndyingLoyalty: To House Stark until Lord Robett's reign. Following the restoration of House Stark after the Second Battle of Winterfell, Lord Robett reaffirms their loyalty.

* EverybodysDeadDave: [[spoiler: With the death of Ned Umber at the hands of the White Walkers, House Umber is officially extinct.]]

** HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: [[spoiler:...only for Robett to withdraw his forces ''again'' in the season 8 premiere. In some fairness to Robett, there's been a massive realignment in between those events: Jon has renounced his title and sworn fealty to Daenerys, a move which has infuriated the North. Robett presumably reasoned that it's Jon who broke faith first.]]

* ScrewthisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler:After Jon steps down as King in the North, Robett decides to hunker down in his castle and wait out the war]].

* 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: 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. [[spoiler:By the Season 7 premiere, he has them re-swear their vows, to avert this.]]

* TheAtoner: He is clearly regretful of not having supported House Stark before, so he seeks to make amends for it. [[spoiler:Then subverted because he starts showing more support for Sansa instead of Jon after he left to meet Daenerys on a diplomatic mission.]]

* AgeLift: He is played back by a grown man. In the books he is the same age as Bran.

! House Mormont

->''"Here We Stand."''

A comparatively small Stark vassal house, ruling Bear Island, situated in the Bay of Ice.

* ActionGirl: While not a full AmazonBrigade, the Mormonts do train their female members (like Maege and her daughter Lyanna) to be just as much warriors as their men. It comes from living on a remote island where the men are out at sea most of the day on fishing boats to get basic sustenance; the women left behind on land had to be capable of defending themselves from attacks by the Ironborn longships and Wildling boats.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: We only get one brief glimpse of Bear Island, but it is nothing short of breathtaking.
* AdaptedOut: The other Mormont daughters, with the exception of Lyanna, are absent.
* AncestralWeapon: Longclaw, a Valyrian sword. Lord Jeor passes it to his protegee Jon Snow, a [[HeroicBastard bastard son]] from House Stark.
* AnimalMotifs: Their sigil is a black [[BearsAreBadNews bear]] in a green wood.
* 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. It appears to be a case of AscendedFanon - the TV production team doesn't really have a dedicated Heraldry office, but did it all in one big burst when the show began. The Season 6 version is an ''exact'' copy of the Mormont sigil fanart used on ''A Wiki of Ice and Fire'', as were the Reed and Stokeworth sigils. Apparently by later seasons the costume and props departments just used fan wikis as reference, not realizing that this was book-based fanart, and unaware that earlier seasons of the TV series had ''already'' established an official design for these sigils within the TV continuity.
* BadassFamily: To a man (and woman).
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Characters we met who belong to this house are all benevolent people but are extremely ferocious if pushed too far.
* HadToBeSharp: Bear Island is the ass end of nowhere to the Seven Kingdoms, located almost north of ''The North'' on a remote off-shore island, vulnerable to raids from both the Ironborn and the Wildlings. It's the northwestern corner of the known world, away from any sea lanes. On top of this, they lead a hardscrabble existence on their resource-poor island: it is heavily forested, largely untamed (albeit beautiful) wilderness filled with ''bears'', to the point that their main food source is from fishing instead of farming or hunting.
* IdenticalStranger: The Captain of the Guard is a dead ringer for Stannis, of all people.
* SceneryPorn: The scenery in Bear Island is beautiful.
* UndyingLoyalty: To House Stark.
--> '''Lyanna Mormont:''' Bear Island knows no king but the King in the North, whose name is Stark.
* YouCantGoHomeAgain: Jorah Mormont is totally reluctant to go back to Bear Island or even send word about his happenings because he's dishonored and disgraced the family name so much that he's dead to them.

[[folder:Lord Jeor Mormont]]
->'''Played By:''' Creator/JamesCosmo

The former Lord of Bear Island, later Lord Commander of the Night's Watch. See Characters/GameOfThronesNightsWatch

[[folder:Lord/Ser Jorah Mormont]]
->'''Played By:''' Creator/IainGlen

Son of Jeor Mormont. Fled his lordship in disgrace after selling slaves, leaving Bear Island to his aunt Maege. See Characters/GameOfThronesDaenerysCourt.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Lady Maege Mormont]]
->'''Played By:''' Elizabeth Barrett

Lady of Bear Island, sister of Jeor Mormont and aunt of Ser Jorah.

* AdaptationDyeJob: Her hair is already snowy white in the books. Here, it's still brown.
* AllThereInTheManual: Her name.
* CoolOldLady: One of the few females fighting alongside Northmen and leading a noble house.
* DeathByAdaptation: Maege is still presumably alive in the books. [[labelnote:From the books...]]She is sent on mission along with Galbart Glover to find Howland Reed, but she hasn't been heard ever since.[[/labelnote]]
* DemotedToExtra: And suffering from ChuckCunninghamSyndrome in Season 2.
* KilledOffScreen: Confirmed by her heir Lyanna in Season 6 to have died during Robb's Riverlands campaign.
* TheLadette: Wearing mail and fighting along men and leading men.
* KneelBeforeFrodo: She is one of the nobles present when Robb is declared King in the North.

[[folder:Lady Lyanna Mormont]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/67.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''"House Mormont has kept faith with House Stark for a thousand years. We will not break faith today."'']]
->'''Played By:''' Bella Ramsey

-> ''"Bear Island knows no king but the King in the North, whose name is Stark."''

Lady Maege's daughter, the new Lady of Bear Island and head of House Mormont, presently a girl of ten.

* AChildShallLeadThem: Since Jorah is disgraced and exiled, and since the death of her mother during Robb Stark's campaign, she became the head of her house.
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: She's very blunt and full of sass at her young age.
* AscendedExtra: An unseen character mentioned in a single anecdote in the novels, in the show she is made the Lady of Bear Island and appears in person, even accompanying the Starks into the field.
* BadassAdorable: She may be young, but the girl knows how to hold her own against older men in debates. In Season 7 she states her intent to train everybody on Bear Island how to fight and she fully intends to fight as well.
* BreakoutCharacter: She quickly becomes one of the most popular characters on the show after only appearing in three episodes, and in one of those, she doesn't even have any lines, only a withering DeathGlare of utter contempt for Ramsay.
* 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 about 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."
* ChekhovsGunman: She's first mentioned by Stannis in Season 5 after she wrote him a letter that rejects her house taking up arms for him before becoming an integral part of the Stark restoration in Season 6.
* CommonalityConnection: How Davos persuades her, as both know what it is to suddenly be in charge of a position they never expected to have.
* CompositeCharacter: While Lyanna writes the letter to Stannis in the books as well, the show version seems to combine aspects of Wyman Manderly's granddaughter, Wylla, with her wanting to fight in the name of House Stark -- odds be damned -- and her capacity for badass speeches. She's also basically a condensation of all four of Maege's younger daughters from the book series into a single character.
* DeadGuyJunior: Discussed when Sansa attempts, largely in vain, to instigate some small talk by mentioning the young Lady Mormont was specifically named for her late aunt, Lyanna Stark.
* DeathGlare: Fixes one on Ramsay during the entire meet between she and the rest of the lords sworn to House Stark, and Bolton's men. It's a miracle the [[BastardBastard bastard]] didn't burst into flames.
* DefrostingIceQueen: Despite their rough introduction, she eventually mellows to Jon and Sansa. She even nominates Jon as the new King in the North, which the other lords accept.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Even before the viewers get to see her, her blunt nature (for her age) is established in her letter to Stannis, refusing to support him or any other king who isn't a Stark of Winterfell. In her first appearance, she brushes off any attempts at smooth talk and flattery by Jon and Sansa and dominates the scene with her presence, in spite of being a little girl.
* ExactWords: Lyanna pledges loyalty to the Starks, but not to Sansa, who is technically both a Lannister and a Bolton, nor to Jon, who is illegitimate. This changes after the battle, as she is the first to name Jon, King in the North.
* {{Foil}}: Take a minute to compare this girl with Tommen Baratheon and Robin Arryn. Tommen and Robin have access to far more soldiers and hold far more power, furthermore they are male and expected to be badass, yet both are weak-willed puppets lacking any form of autonomy or guts. Lyanna is a girl with very few men and younger than both, but determined, wise beyond her years, clearly in charge, and tough as nails. She is also a lot like Bran when he ruled Winterfell but unlike Bran, who had vassals to protect, she only has to protect her own.
** Best of all, compare her to [[TheCaligula Joffrey]]. Where Joffrey was vain, she despises flattery. Where Joffrey hid at the sight of danger, she rides to meet her foes eye-to-eye. Where Joffrey made petty threats, she fulfills her promises. Where Joffrey was mad, cruel, and feared, she is responsible, thoughtful, and respected.
** To Lord Jon "Greatjon" Umber. Physically, they are opposites, with Greatjon being an older man who is LargeAndInCharge, while Lyanna is a LittleMissBadass. Greatjon is a BoisterousBruiser, Lyanna is an IceQueen. However, both have a blunt disposition and are fiercely loyal to House Stark, leading the effort to crown the current head of House Stark (Robb in Season 1, Jon in Season 6) the King in the North.
* FrontlineGeneral: She accompanies her men to Jon Snow's camp, putting herself at considerable risk. She also is part of the parley on Jon's side before the battle.
* HatesSmallTalk: She quickly shuts down the admittedly poor attempts at small talk and flattery during her meeting with Sansa and Jon. She'd rather just get to the point. Even her initial greeting ends so abruptly that it catches her guests unaware.
--> '''Lyanna:''' I think we've had enough small talk. Why are you here?
* IceQueen: She's a no-nonsense character and her frank nature is quite intimidating. Appropriately enough, her House's seat is called the Bay of Ice.
* IconicSequelCharacter: Does not appear in the series until Season 6.
* IronLady: She's a [[TheStoic stoic]], determined, brave, and no-nonsense leader despite her very young age.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Her attitude is harsh but it's not incorrect. An illegitimate son and a twice-married lady arrive requesting she aid them in another war for the Starks, even though neither -- despite being of Stark blood -- are legally Starks. Loyalty is not reason enough to risk losing everything.
* LittleMissBadass: Despite her age, Lady Lyanna Mormont proves to be just as fierce in person as her written words to Stannis indicated. This is a girl who can [[ShamingTheMob shame an entire room]] full of northern lords three times her size and age.
-->'''Davos''': I suspect if [House Mormont soldiers] are as fearsome as their lady, the Boltons are doomed.
* LittleMissSnarker: She's full of sass.
* MeaningfulName: Lyanna was named after Lyanna Stark, the mother of Jon Snow. Fittingly it is Lyanna Mormont who first declares Jon Snow to be King of the North, and convinces the other Northern houses to follow her lead.
* 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 terse written correspondence. 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.
* OneSteveLimit: A rare aversion for the TV show, which otherwise went out of its way to ''enforce'' a One Steve Limit onto the source material, i.e. "Robert Arryn" was changed to "Robin Arryn". The showrunners argued, with some validity, that while the long books could get away with multiple characters with the same first name, it would have been too confusing in the more condensed format of a TV series. Lyanna Mormont was a rare exception, because it's a plot point that she's a DeadGuyJunior, named after Lyanna Stark.
* OutsideContextProblem: Ser Davos wins her support by affirming their true enemy is the Night King and the real war is between the living and the dead. The Boltons divide the North and the Northern houses will [[DividedWeFall fall]] if they are allowed to remain in power. Faced with long odds against the Boltons versus no chance against the White Walkers, Lyanna opts to take her chances fighting alongside the Starks.
* QualityOverQuantity: Although the force she can offer is small, she claims that each of her warriors are worth ten mainlanders (evocative of House Mormont's sigil animal; a [[BearsAreBadNews bear]]). Considering how badass Northern soldiers have generally been portrayed when fighting larger southern forces, this is quite the BadassBoast. This isn't an idle boast, either. As explained in the novels, the Bear Island is off the northwest coast of the North, so they're ''constantly'' fighting off not only wildling raids (in small fishing ships) but heavy raids from the Ironborn coming up from the south. Thus they have very strong martial traditions -- look at how tough Jeor was and Jorah still is -- and they also had to train even their daughters to be warriors (to survive while the men are out at sea in fishing ships).
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Most of her decisions are taken with advice of her maester and sentinel but she also knows when it's her call. Even though she is loyal to the Stark she won't throw her men in battle without convincing arguments and does not ask any large compensation from the Starks when she sides withe them as they are her liege.
* RefugeInAudacity: As contrary as it may seem, her honesty and bluntness are actually even more effective coming from the mouth of a ten-year-old girl than they might be from an adult.
* ShamingTheMob: At the gathering in Winterfell following the retaking, she firmly reminds the other Northern houses lords that they didn't do anything to help the Starks after the Red Wedding and after said houses were betrayed by the Boltons and Freys. Lord Manderly admits she's right.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Lyanna Mormont is literally the ''only'' head of a major Northern House shown to be female, even during their war council in the Season 6 finale. In the books, at least four Houses are headed by women at this point (due to all the men dying in the war). Notably, in that same war council scene, "Lord Cerwyn" appears -- in the books, House Cerwyn is headed by a ''woman'' at this point, because Ramsay killed her father and brother. The TV series actively gender-swapped female leaders into male ones -- possibly to showcase Lyanna as "exceptional" (when in the books, female rulers are fairly commonplace).
** Lyanna Mormont is literally the ''only'' female head of a major vassal House (not one of the Great Houses like the Tyrells or Lannisters) who has appeared in the first six TV seasons that is both a recurring role and has speaking lines. She's also only the ''second'' female head of a major noble House to have speaking lines -- the first was Anya Waynwood in Season 4, who only appeared in one episode. Even though Lyanna's mother Maege did appear on-screen in Season 1, she didn't have any speaking lines nor was she identified in dialogue (it was really just a cameo).
* SpannerInTheWorks: Unknowingly throws Littlefinger's plan to make Sansa his puppet out of whack by choosing Jon Snow as king.
* TheStoic: Past her DeathGlare to Ramsay Bolton, she shows very little emotion.
* UndyingLoyalty: She lets Stannis know in no uncertain terms that House Mormont will only follow House Stark. When Jon and Sansa call upon her to aid them against the Boltons, Lyanna eventually decides to uphold their millennia old alliance and fight with them once again. Once the Stark alliance reclaims Winterfell, her [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech scathing words]] shame all the other northern lords, many of which did not answer the Starks' call, and then she becomes Jon's kingmaker. Despite being unable to devote not even a hundred troops to the Battle of the Bastards, she turned out to be by far the most valuable ally that Jon and Sansa recruited.
--> '''Lyanna:''' House Mormont has kept faith with House Stark for a thousand years. We will not break faith today.
* WiseBeyondTheirYears: The young Lady Lyanna is quick to point out the many flaws with a Stark/Mormont alliance without even bothering to consult her advisers. Jon isn't legally a Stark, but a Snow, and Sansa is a Lannister or a Bolton (depending on the source). She then rather bluntly asks why should she risk Mormont soldiers for a Stark, especially after the losses they suffered last time around. It's only when Ser Davos gives a rather sobering account of the real threat, [[ZombieApocalypse the undead hordes]], she agrees to help.
--> '''Lyanna:''' Why should I have to risk one more Mormont life for someone else's war?
* YoungAndInCharge: Lady Lyanna is now the leader of House Mormont despite being a child. Judging by how she handles the room and her own adviser during her meeting with the Stark leadership, she certainly seems to have the disposition for it.

! House Glover

-> '''"House Glover will stand behind House Stark as it has done for a thousand years!"''
->--'''Robett Glover'''

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. The Glovers have around 500 fighting men.

[[folder:In General]]

* AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs: The Ironborn took their castle during the events of Seasons 2-4.
* PowerFist: Their sigil is an armored fist.
* UndyingLoyalty: To House Stark until Lord Robett's reign. Following the restoration of House Stark after the Second Battle of Winterfell, Lord Robett reaffirms their loyalty.

[[folder:Lord Galbart Glover]]
[[quoteright:246:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Galbart_Glover_4082.PNG]]
->'''Played By:''' Mark Coney

->''"Renly is not right!"''

Lord of Deepwood Motte and head of House Glover.
----
* AlliterativeName: '''G'''albart '''G'''lover.
* BadassBeard: He is chosen to command Robb's vanguard over The Greatjon.
* BusCrash: He hasn't been seen since the end of the first season. His brother confirmed that he died during Robb's campaign.
* DeathByAdaptation: He is still presumably alive in the books. [[labelnote:From the books...]]He is sent on mission along with Maege Mormont to find Howland Reed, but he hasn't been heard ever since.[[/labelnote]]

[[folder:Lord Robett Glover]]
->'''Played By:''' Tim [=McInnery=]

->''"House Glover will not abandon its ancestral home to fight alongside '''wildlings'''!"''

The younger brother of Galbart Glover, and the new Lord of Deepwood Motte and head of House Glover.

* AdaptationalJerkass: 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.
* TheAtoner: He is clearly regretful of not having supported House Stark before, so he seeks to make amends for it. [[spoiler:Then subverted because he starts showing more support for Sansa instead of Jon after he left to meet Daenerys on a diplomatic mission.]]
-->'''Robett''': ''[addressing Jon]'' I did not fight beside you on the field of battle, and I will regret that to my dying day. A man can only admit when he was wrong, and ask for forgiveness.
* BrutalHonesty: Doesn't hide his bitterness about Robb's mistakes.
* DespairEventHorizon: The death of his family and men seems to have broken Robett. But he snaps out of it when Jon Snow retakes Winterfell.
* FairWeatherFriend: Sides with the Bolton when they give him back his castle and only pledges allegiance to Jon when he wins the battle and refuses to punish him. Then he abandons Jon again favoring Sansa as a ruler since Jon left in a diplomatic mission.
* FantasticRacism: He refuses to aid [[BrotherSisterTeam Jon and Sansa's]] campaign to retake the North, partly because the majority of their fighting force is made up of wildlings. He also refers to Queen Talisa as a "foreign whore".
* GutturalGrowler: Has a raspy and intimidating voice.
* HeelFaceTurn: After Jon 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. 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.
* JadeColoredGlasses: His faith on House Stark was severely crushed by Robb's failures and downfall.
-->'''Robett''': I served House Stark once...but House Stark is ''dead''.
* JerkassHasAPoint: He has already lost many men, his brother and his castle in service to Robb Stark, who made some terrible strategic mistakes in his war campaign. It's understandable why he refuses to lend more troops. He even brings up that it's the Boltons and not the Starks that gave him back his castle (and Ramsay would more than likely kill him in [[DisproportionateRetribution horrific fashion]] if he found out he'd met with Jon and Sansa).
* ShellShockedVeteran: It's clear the loss of life during the war and the Red Wedding left Robett broken.
* SpeakIllOfTheDead: Bitterly reminisces about King Robb's shortcomings and calls Queen Talisa a "foreign whore".
* TookALevelInKindness: 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''': 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!
* UndyingLoyalty: Averted. Despite his house's famous loyalty to the Starks, he refuses to be dragged into a war he doesn't believe can be won. When the Boltons are ousted, he reaffirms his loyalty to House Stark and to Jon Snow.

! House Manderly

One of the largest Northern houses, and in charge of the city of White Harbor, with a seat in the New Castle.

[[folder:In General]]
* BadassBeard: Their sigil is a battling merman with a beard.
* TheGhost: Repeatedly said to be one of the largest Northern houses after the Boltons, along with the Umbers and Karstarks, but don't appear. Wyman Manderly finally shows up in ''The Winds of Winter''.
* ProngsOfPoseidon: Their sigil is a merman wielding a trident.

[[folder:Lord Wyman Manderly]]
->'''Played By:''' Sean Blowers

The Lord of White Harbor and head of House Manderly.

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: His book counterpart is know for his extreme obessity, and is repeatedly said to be incapable of sitting a horse. He's still a stout fellow, but hardly much more so than Yohn Royce or Rodrick Cassel.
* AdaptationalWimp: He's a PayEvilUntoEvil [[TheChessmaster chessmaster]] in the books. On the show, he sits out the battle of Winterfell for fear of losing Manderly men for nothing.
* ChekhovsGunman: House Manderly is often mentioned as one of the big Houses in the North (Bolton, Karstark, Umber and Manderly), but they're suspiciously absent from the Battle of the Bastards. Wyman proceeds to show up and commit his men to Jon Snow's cause after it, also kickstarting his crowning.
* DemotedToExtra: In the books, he's an architect of a vast conspiracy in the North to undermine the Boltons and Freys and restore the Starks to power. In the show, he sits out the Battle for Winterfell and only ever appears after Jon and Sansa have reclaimed Winterfell.
* NeutralNoLonger: Wyman stood out of the war in the North to avoid the loss of life by his men. By the end of the season, he is now firmly a follower of House Stark.
* TheNicknamer: He names Jon Snow "the White Wolf".
* OutlivingOnesOffspring: His son and heir was butchered at the Red Wedding.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: He shows up for about one short scene at the end of the sixth season, but after Lady Mormont declared her endorsement of Jon Snow as King in The North, his agreement is what catalyzes the motion.

[[folder:Ser Wendel Manderly]]
->'''Played By:''' Oddie Braddell

A son of Lord Wyman Manderly, who accompanies Robb to the war.
----
* DemotedToExtra: He only appears in one episode and has no lines. The only way the audience would know he was an important Northerner without knowing his backstory in the books would be because he's positioned very close to Robb Stark and Roose Bolton during Edmure's wedding, the camera kind of lingers on him whenever he's onscreen and that he's wearing a big House Manderly trident-armed merman sigil brooch.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Not for himself, of course, since he dies in the same episode in which he's introduced, but his appearance could count as this for House Manderly, who play a large role in one of the later books in the series and would be hard to adapt out.
* SpearCarrier: Played by an established actor, but has no lines or discernible role other than introduce his House.

! House Cerwyn

A Northern house sworn to the Starks, with its seat at Castle Cerwyn, close to Winterfell.

[[folder: In General]]
* AdaptationalBadass: In the books, Medger Cerwyn dies from a wound after a battle; here, he tells Ramsay Bolton to get stuffed ''to his face''.
* AnAxeToGrind: Their sigil is a war-axe.
* BadassBoast: According to supplementary material, their motto is "Honed and Ready".
* GenderFlip: House Cerwyn was actually headed by a ''woman'' at this point in the novels, Jonelle Cerwyn, after the Boltons killed her father and brother. The TV version omitted Jonelle and kept her brother alive -- actually part of a pattern of gender-swapping minor background vassals from female to male.
* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY: It's pronounced ''K''erwyn, not ''S''erwyn.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: When Ramsay proudly recounts how he flayed Lord Cerwyn alive in Season 5, Roose berates him for his stupidity, pointing out that while it ensured their submission for the moment, in the long term he just gained the Cerwyn's lasting enmity and they will jump at the next chance to rebel against the Boltons. Then when the actual uprising against Ramsay occurred in Season 6, the Cerwyns were nowhere to be seen -- ''even when'' Jon Snow points out that Ramsay's men only follow Ramsay out of fear and will turn on him when he is weak.
* UndyingLoyalty: They stand behind the Starks when the Boltons take the North. Unfortunately, this causes the death of the entire House except one heir.

The young and inexperienced new Lord of Cerwyn and head of House Cerwyn.

----

* AgeLift: He is played back by a grown man. In the books he is the same age as Bran.
* AlliterativeName: '''C'''ley '''C'''erwin.
* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: He swore fealty to House Bolton when Ramsay flayed his entire family and threatened to do the same to him.
* ChekhovsGunman: Cley Cerwyn was mentioned in season 5 as the current Lord of the (Stark-loyal but forced to serve the Boltons under threat of flaying). In season 6 he shows up to support the Starks.
* SoleSurvivor: Of House Cerwyn. Ramsay flayed all the other members.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: In the books, he died trying to reclaim Winterfell with Rodrik. In the show, he's still around years after that.
* UndyingLoyalty: He only kneeled to the Boltons [[AnOfferYouCantRefuse under direct threat]]. When that passes, he's a proud bannerman to House Stark again.
* WrongGenreSavvy: Cley believes that because the Boltons are dead, the threat is passed -- now they just have to survive winter. Jon Snow reminds him that the [[GreaterScopeVillain White Walkers]] [[ZombieApocalypse are on their way]].
* YoungAndInCharge: When we see him, he seems barely out of his teens, but leading House Cerwyn.

----
* BadassBoast: Master Luwin tells Bran back in Season 1 that their motto is "Righteous In Wrath", which is pretty foreboding.

''See [[Characters/TelltalesGameOfThronesHouseForrester Telltale Game of Thrones: House Forrester]]''
[[/folder]]

* BadassGrandpa: He might be in his older years, but that just means he's got more kills than most. His reaction to his hand being bitten off by the Grey Wind, to laugh it off and declare Robb's meat is [[LargeHam BLOODY TOUGH]]!

* BadassGrandma: One of the few females fighting alongside Northmen and leading a noble house.

* UseYourHead: Headbutts Tormund several times during the Battle of the Bastards, since the two of them are clustered so close together in the piles of corpses that head butting is the only move available.

* TheAtoner: He is clearly regretful of not having supported House Stark before, so he seeks to make amends for it.

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

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