*** [[spoiler:After his last appearance in Chapter Forty "The After" and a brief appearance in Chapter Forty-Nine "The Return", Jory reappears in full

** At an inn where Myra and Jaime encounter a group of three soldiers sent by Cersei to look for Jaime, he only realises that they mean to [[spoiler:kill Myra[[note]]as per Cersei's order[[/note]], when he steps outside to where one of the men supposedly went to relieve himself, only to find him not there, and remembers them mentioning "the four of us"]].
** Sansa, after reading a book on poisons and looking through the characteristics and effects of the Tears of Lys, starts to come to a realisation, that not only was Jon Arryn poisoned, but also that his death was not caused by the Lannisters, and instead, [[spoiler: upon looking at the scenario in which Jon Arryn's death from a different angle, realises that someone wanted to bring chaos to King's Landing, by bringing an Hand like her father]].
** After [[spoiler: having released Jaime from her brother's captivity]] and her mother learning about what has happened during her time on the run, Myra comes to the realisation (her mother too) that she is in love with Jaime Lannister.

As she experiences life in King's Landing, [[FishOutOfWater which is far different from the North]], Myra also becomes acquainted with one Ser Jaime Lannister, whom she interacts with and [[HiddenDepths sees that there is more to him]], than just simply the one-sided persona of [[TheKingslayer 'The Kingslayer']].

* BigNever: [[spoiler: After learning that Walder Frey intends of making her his ninth wife, Myra screams that he will never have her, all while attempting to lunge over to him and kill him]].

** During the Red Wedding, [[spoiler: after her mother kills Joyeuse Erenford, then has her throat slit, Myra only has a few moments before the Freys pull Robb's body out of her arms, causing her to shriek several times as she attempts to fight them off]].
* AndNowYouMustMarryMe: After the Red Wedding, [[spoiler: Walder Frey has Myra brought to him, in which he tells her that her mother has him without a wife, and that fortunately for him, Myra is the ideal one for him. Only for him to end up dead, courtesy of Myra skinchanging into Jinglebell]].

** After Nymeria flees, due to attacking Joffrey, Myra has Brenna and Lady saved from being killed and sent away, thus they are absent for quite a considerable amount of time, until [[spoiler: Chapter Twenty-Seven "The She-Wolf", when Brenna, Lady and Nymeria save Myra and Jaime from bandits]].
** Jory, after having left Dragonstone to deliver Stannis' message, in addition to a message from Myra personally, to Robb and then, heading back to return to Dragonstone, disappears for a few chapters, before [[spoiler: ending up as a prisoner of the Lannisters in Harrenhal, and losing an eye. There, he is discovered by Arya, who along with Gendry and Hot Pie, frees him with the help of Jaqen H'ghar]].

* CallForward: While greeting Ser Arys Oakheart on the boat ready to take Princess Myrcella to Dorne, Sansa greets him, whilst undercover as Princess Myrcella's handmaiden, and after thinking of a name, calls herself [[spoiler: Alayne, an alias she uses in ''Literature/AStormOfSwords'']].

** Walder Frey is said to have passed away since the Red Wedding in the prologue. Jaime makes inquiries on how it happened, only for the Freys to give him not much other than "curses and bad luck". [[spoiler: It turns out that Myra inadvertently possesses Aegon 'Jinglebell' Frey via skinchanging, who then picks up a knife and stabs Walder Frey. Multiple times]].
** In Chapter Forty-Two "The Crossing - Part II", due to Jaime's arrangement with Ryman Frey, [[spoiler: Lothar Frey]] and [[spoiler: Black Walder Rivers]] are killed by [[spoiler: Myra]] and [[spoiler: Brienne]].
** In Chapter Forty-Nine "The Return", [[spoiler: Arya finds, through [[AnimalEyeSpy looking into Nymeria's eyes]], that Roose Bolton has been hanged by the Brotherhood Without Banners, led by Lady Stoneheart (a resurrected Catelyn Stark)]].
* FlashbackNightmare: During a dream in which Myra comes across Robb and Jon sparring with practice swords in the dead of night, [[spoiler: the dream changes from Winterfell to the Twins, during the Red Wedding, ending with Roose Bolton shoving her aside and stabbing Robb in the heart]].

*** This also leads to Gendry accompanying him and Arya to Riverrun, instead of staying with the Brotherhood without Banners, which becomes fortunate when Melisandre arrives at the Brotherhood's camp to find Gendry, who she had seen in the flames [[note]][[spoiler: which leads to Stannis using the blood of his daughter, Shireen to curse his three rival kings, Joffrey Baratheon, Balon Greyjoy, and Robb Stark]][[/note]].

** Due to reuniting with the direwolves, Myra notices Nymeria's strange behaviour in Harrenhal, and comes to the conclusion that Arya had been in Harrenhal, so she sends Nymeria to find Arya. [[spoiler: This thus, ensures Arya reuniting with Nymeria]].

** Robb does not execute Rickard Karstark, but sends him after Jaime to "give him what justice he deserves". This results in [[spoiler: Jaime, Brienne and Brenna fighting a pitched battle with him and his Karstark warriors at a river, in which Jaime himself kills Rickard Karstark [[note]]by pulling out a knife stuck in his right hand, slicing Rickard across the abdomen before driving it into his chest[[/note]] after he [[PrepareToDie rants]] that it's time for him to die, and Jaime simply responds with;]]
-->'''Jaime''': [[spoiler: "your son spoke too much as well," he hissed, watching as the man began to cough up blood. "That's why I cut his throat."]]
** As part of persuading his father to allow him to leave King's Landing for the Twins, in order to go and get Myra free, Jaime [[spoiler: takes his father's offer to leave the Kingsguard and become his heir to Casterly Rock. Jaime goes so far as to interrupt Tywin mid-sentence and throw his white cloak onto his desk]].

** While Joffrey still dies, the events of his death are not known as "The Purple Wedding", but rather, [[spoiler: "the Short Wedding" (not just in that Joffrey died at the altar, but because of his uncle Tyrion, who has been imprisoned for his murder)]].

** At an inn where Myra and Jaime encounter a group of three soldiers sent by Cersei to look for Jaime, he only realises that they mean to [[spoiler: kill Myra[[note]]as per Cersei's order[[/note]], when he steps outside to where one of the men supposedly went to relieve himself, only to find him not there, and remembers them mentioning "the four of us"]].

** Robert Baratheon doesn't die due to Lancel poisoning his wine at a hunt which causes him to be gored by a boar, but is murdered [[note]][[spoiler: by Syrena, who poisons him with sweetsleep, before stabbing him with a dagger]][[/note]], with Ned arrested for the crime.
** Ned Stark is still executed on King Joffrey's order, by Ser Ilyn Payne with Ice, [[spoiler: albeit for different reasons, in that he falsely confessed to murdering Robert at a trial, after Littlefinger manipulated Ned into doing so]].
** Jaime still loses his right hand, [[spoiler: only this time, he loses it via amputation due to his wound being infected after having had a knife stuck in it]].

** At his own wedding, Joffrey is still poisoned and dies. Instead of being poisoned with the Strangler at his wedding feast, [[spoiler: Joffrey died from a poison known as The Long Farewell by Ros, the whore from Winterfell, whom Littlefinger had sent to 'entertain' Joffrey for the evening after giving her a dose without her knowledge]].

** Even though [[spoiler: Tyrion is declared innocent after Prince Oberyn's victory against the Mountain in the trial by combat]], Jaime still confesses the truth about Tysha and his role in it to Tyrion (after having confessed to Myra, who promptly told him to tell Tyrion the truth).

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: When [[spoiler: Lady and Nymeria]] appear to save Myra and Jaime from the bandits, they immediately scatter and run away, shoving one another out of their way.

** When arriving at the Twins, when Lady and Grey Wind become a bit unsettled, and Black Walder Rivers suggests locking them away, Myra instead has Lady go into the woods, away from the Twins, and take Grey Wind with her, [[spoiler: thus not just saving Lady from being killed again, but also saving Grey Wind from his canon fate of being killed during the Red Wedding, and furthermore, Grey Wind's head is not beheaded to be put onto Robb's body]].

** In Chapter Twenty-Four "The Vow", [[spoiler: after promising to look out for Myra, due to looking like that Myra will be a prisoner in King's Landing after encountering a group of three soldiers Cersei sent to find him, Jaime kills them after realising that they, on Cersei's orders, are intending on killing Myra]].
** In Chapter Forty "The After", [[spoiler: Catelyn Stark's dead body is resurrected by Beric Dondarrion, days after the Red Wedding, after Jory pleads with Thoros to have the Red God bring her back, which implies that like the epilogue of ''Literature/AStormOfSwords'', the resurrected Lady Stark will be out for blood]].

** Tommen gives Myra Widow's Wail, [[spoiler:when she leaves King's Landing]].

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** During Chapter Twenty-Seven "The She-Wolf", when Jaime Lannister struggles to fend off a group of bandits hunting him and Myra, Jaime's use of a sword is hindered by the fact that he has two arrows stuck in him, one in the back which leaves his left arm limping and the other in his right thigh. This means that Jaime cannot use his left arm in order to hold his sword with both hands, and he has to extend his right leg out in order to not put weight on it (and even then, it shakes), thus Jaime has to put a considerable amount of effort blocking, to which his opponent is actually seen enjoying how much effort Jaime is putting, in comparison with him barely even trying, and when he takes a boot to his thigh, Jaime collapses to the floor through the sheer pain alone.
** During Chapter Thirty-Three "The Guilt", Arya notes that Jory practices every night. Only that his sword swings are too shallow or too deep, sometimes even missing altogether, which is to be expected, given that [[spoiler: Jory lost his left eye, which would affect his depth perception]].
** In Chapter Thirty-Five "The Divide", during the fight with Rickard Karstark and his warriors at the river, Jaime finds that 'weeks of less than nothing for food' due to being on the run, in addition to his injuries sustained, leaves him severely weakened, thus he ends up being outmatched during the fight.

Focused around Myra Stark, who is the elder twin sister to Robb Stark, as she travels to King's Landing with her fOer, her two sisters and her household, when Ned Stark is appointed Hand of the King by King Robert Baratheon.

* MythologyGag: After [[spoiler:Prince Oberyn's victory in the trial by combat against the Mountain]], Tyrion, while reminiscing on Shae, muses that when he finds her, he is going to "wrap his hands around her thin neck and squeeze the life out of her", a nod to Shae's canon fate in ''Literature/AStormOfSwords'' and [[Recap/GameOfThronesS4E10TheChildren at the end of season 4]] in the show.
