* MeaningfulName: Lady is fittingly the most refined and well behaved of all the wolves.
-->'''Eddard''': He had never paid much attention to the names the children had picked, but looking at her now, he knew that Sansa had chosen well. She was the smallest of the litter, the prettiest, the most gentle and trusting.

* TheScapeGoat: Cersei gets enraged that Nymeria mauled her son Joffrey. Since Arya forced her to run away, Cersei orders Lady be the one killed instead. Cersei did proclaim she wanted a wolf-skin to lay on her bed by next morning in retaliation of her son’s attack, so she just wanted Lady dead just so she make her as some sort of trophy. But a Eddard puts a stop to it by killing Lady himself and sending her remains to be buried on Winterfell ground, implying that he holds extreme remorse for murdering Lady and knowing that she was a gentle creature.

The firewood lay on him? That sounds ... unhealthy.


* TheNameless: He is this throughout half of ''A Game Of Thrones'', as Bran has trouble deciding what to name him. It isn’t until he is in his coma and the firewood provides him warmth by laying on him that he named him “Summer”.

* ItCanThink: Though they are mostly treated as pets and guard-dogs, their perspective revealed by Bran warging into Summer and Jon into Ghost reveals they are shockingly intelligent creatures with human-like intelligence, emotions, and understanding. Even in the first book, they were implied to have this kind of intelligence and emotion, as when Bran remembers the day Lady's bones came home to Winterfell and his description sounds like her direwolf brothers realized she was dead, and mourned her. Summer's POV in ''A Storm of Swords'' confirms he still remembers, misses, and mourns his sister.
-->''Summer and Grey Wind and Shaggydog had begun to howl before they crossed the drawbridge, in voices drawn and desolate. Beneath the shadow of the First Keep was an ancient lichyard, its headstones spotted with pale lichen, where the old Kings of Winter had laid their faithful servants. It was there they buried Lady, while her brothers stalked between the graves like restless shadows. She had gone south, and only her bones had returned.''
-->''[Summer] could not smell them, nor hear their howls by night, yet he felt their presence at his back... all but the sister they had lost. His tail drooped when he remembered her. Four now, not five.''



* PapaWolf / MamaBear: Literally for the male pups, while their sisters be the Mama Wolf. Anyone that dares to so much as threaten the Stark children within their presence will have to deal with their loyal and protective direwolves. You’d be lucky if you get out alive.

* PsychicLink: The direwolves' POV (through Bran and Jon) reveals this exists between the Stark direwolves as being able to "sense" each other and what they're doing; at least, Summer and Ghost can, with Ghost in particular knowing exactly what his siblings are doing in Skagos and the riverlands while he is still Beyond the Wall.

Sansa's direwolf. Lady is the best behaved and most obedient of the direwolves. When her sister, Nymeria, mauls Joffrey as she protected Arya from his wrath, Cersei ordered Lady’s execution since Arya forced Nymeria to run away. Eddard reluctantly volunteers to be the one to do it.
