History Characters / OurBladesAreSharp

* AbusiveParents: His callous attitude towards [[spoiler:the end of Myrcella’s betrothal to Robb]] marks him as such, despite not “officially” being her father.

* CompositeCharacter: [[spoiler:Seems to have taken Tyrion’s plotline of getting sent to King’s Landing to act as Hand in Tywin’s place. He also takes Varys’ role of trying to get Ned to back down]]. This is subverted when [[spoiler:Kevan is summoned back into the field and Tyrion takes his place as acting Hand of the King as he did in the books/show, then double-subverted when they both wind up back in King's Landing]].

** In the sequel, [[spoiler:Cersei sends him from the city for his safety before Renly attacks.]]

* MadeOfIron: He seems to be perfectly fine after getting hit in the head at high speed with a lance, with enough force to dent his helmet.

* KilledOffscreen: [[spoiler:Jaime reports his death to Cersei during the battle in the sequel.]]

* KickTheDog: Rubs Ned’s powerlessness and his ruined political career in his face.

* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler:Ghost bites off his hand. And that’s the first part of his death]].

* BadHabits: He and his men disguise themselves as pilgrims to attack Yoren’s party of recruits.

* WouldHurtAChild: He killed Rhaenys Targaryen by stabbing her multiple times, and was sent to [[spoiler:kill Gendry]].

* KarmaHoudini: Double-subverted. He got poisoned in Chapter 27, but four chapters later, he’s back on his feet and resumed his usual antics.

* AdaptationalIntelligence: This time around, she's not blind to Joffrey's cruelty or Cersei's malice and is better at navigating the DeadlyDecadentCourt of King's Landing. Also, she obeys her father when he tells her and Domeric to leave King's Landing.

* KillEmAll: [[spoiler:By the end of Chapter 39, all except [[ReverseMole Robard and Damon]] are dead.]]

* FatGirl: Her nickname is Fat Walda.

* BadDreams: Has one of Joffrey throwing him in the black cells.

!!'''Lord Renly Baratheon'''
Youngest brother of King Robert Baratheon and Lord of Storm's End. Marries Margaery Tyrell.

!!Lord Stannis Baratheon

Middle brother between Robert and Renly and Lord of Dragonstone.

* CoolUncle: To Myrcella and Tommen; he provides them with a list of books on the Northern houses.

* ShipTease: He's attracted to Jeyne Poole. This is {{Exploited}} by Sansa, who wishes to push them into a relationship to free Arya from her betrothal.

* HistoryRepeats: Keeping with being [[TheCaligula "Aerys II"]], a reviewer for Chapter 23 compared his behavior around Sansa with Aerys II's unwanted attentions toward Joanna Lannister, betrothed (and later wife) of Tywin Lannister.

* ShipTease: He's attracted to Jeyne Poole. This is Invoked by Sansa, who wishes to push them into a relationship to free Arya from her betrothal.

* BrotherSisterTeam: Though he was hesitant to involve her at first, when he actually starts working with Sansa to outsmart or negotiate with their enemies, they make a formidable pair.

* [[AdaptationalNiceGuy Adaptational Nice Girl]]: Much less of an AlphaBitch to Arya than she was in the books and even apologizes for it. She also apologizes to Jon for holding him at arms length and becomes much closer to him as a result.

* ArrangedMarriage: With Domeric Bolton. Although considering how much they love each other, it more of a PerfectlyArrangedMarriage.

* BodySnatcher: Is a warg just like her siblings, though she doesn't realize this until Jon explains it to her.

* CharacterDevelopment: Goes from being [[ShrinkingViolet shy, quiet and introverted]] to a more confident, outgoing, even snarky person. Arya notes that where her brother would have hated drawing attention to himself, now he seems quite comfortable in it. His [[spoiler:defeat of the Mountain and the respect it earned him, as well as his betrothal to Dacey Mormont has a lot to do with it.]]

* HeroicBSOD: Downplayed example, but after [[spoiler:Ned reveals his true parentage to him]] he spends a quite few days in shock.

* TheResenter: Towards Domeric, for finding acceptance among the Starks so quickly despite how many years he spent with them, and for being overlooked as a suitor to Sansa despite being the heir to a Great House.

* GoThroughMe: Played for Laughs. At Sansa and Domeric's wedding, the direwolves serve as a rather strict barrier between the bride and groom, and the people who want to commence with the bedding ceremony. Needless to say, no one was willing to test them.

* UnderstandingBoyfriend: Though he's obviously shocked at first, he accepts that his betrothed is a warg, even considering the potential benefits. He's more put off by the knowledge that she lied to him than anything.

* [[UnderstandingBoyfriend Understanding Girlfriend]]: Takes the news that [[spoiler:Jon is Rhaegar's son]] relatively calmly, doesn't hold his parentage against him and reassures him when he starts feeling insecure about his relationship to his siblings. She even gives up her inheritance to Bear Island for him, although he promises her that they would rule any seat he's given as equals.

* ActionGirl: Which the Mormont girls approve of.

* [[AdaptationalNiceGuy Adaptational Nice Girl]]: Much less of an AlphaBitch to Arya than she was in the books and even apologizes for it.

* ArrangedMarriage: With Domeric Bolton.

* SilkHidingSteel: This time, Sansa doesn't let Cersei fool her and keeps her composure even when the Queen deliberately tries to unsettle her. She also successfully bargains with Walder Frey for letting her brother cross the Twins.

* YouAreInCommandNow: After Ned gets injured, Sansa and Domeric have to take charge of the household for a week.

* BodySnatcher: He's started warging into Ghost and [[spoiler:even begins teaching Sansa how to do it.]]

* OhCrap: When he finds Lady Catelyn at the Crossroads Inn.

** A variant when he kills [[spoiler: the Mountain and Amory Lorch to avenge his siblings and step-mother]].

* OutOfFocus: Hasn't been talked about as much as the other siblings.

* PutOnABus: She, Bran, Jojen, Hodor, Osha, and Summer go north of the Wall.

* RunawayBride: Male version. He's betrothed to Marissa Frey, but he, Bran, Meera, Hodor, Osha, and Summer skip town, heading north for Beyond the Wall.

** Jon Snow. Both are bastards raised in the North but under different circumstances; Jon was raised alongside Ned Stark’s children and never knew his mother while Ramsay never met his father and only knew his mother. Both attracted the attention of Domeric Bolton for this reason and Domeric treats Jon the way he would want to treat Ramsay. However, Jon chose a life of duty and justice in facing the Mountain and won honor and praise, while Ramsay tried to live through depravity and crime and [[spoiler:paid the price]].

* HistoryRepeats: Keeping with being [[TheCaligula "Aerys III"]], a reviewer for Chapter 23 compared his behavior around Sansa with Aerys II's unwanted attentions toward Joanna Lannister, betrothed (and later wife) of Tywin Lannister.

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: He doesn't understand ''why'' Myrcella is so unhappy about her betrothal to Robb Stark being broken.

* EveryoneHasStandards: [[spoiler:He's really put off by Jaime's attitude towards Myrcella's broken betrothal and the allegations that Jaime and Cersei committed incest; he's physically sickened by the thought]].

* ShipTease: He's attracted to Jeyne Poole.

* AscendedExtra: Originally a side character in the books, he's one of the POV characters for Chapter 65.

-->''"By what right does this Jon Snow have to kill him?"'' Oberyn had seethed, ''"Elia and Aegon are nothing to him. They were my blood! They were mine to avenge!"''

--->'''Kevan''': ''[thoughts]'' She is as lovely as her mother with none of the poison that lurks beneath.

* BadassInDistress: [[spoiler:As of right now, he's the Stark stuck as a hostage in King's Landing]].

* TakingTheVeil: [[spoiler:The Lannisters want him to take the Black (go to the Night’s Watch)]].

* ArrangedMarriage: With Myrcella Baratheon.

* AdaptationalBadass: Develops SilkHidingSteel much earlier. [[spoiler:She also wargs into Lady a couple times during the trip to White Harbor]].

* ConflictingLoyalty: Sansa feels torn between wanting to treat Jon as a brother and not wanting to hurt her mother.

* ArrangedMarriage: [[spoiler:To Dacey Mormont]].

* BodySnatcher: He's started warging into Ghost and manages to see the Mountain at the Mummer's Ford.

* EvilDetectingDog: Lady gets uppity when Sansa reaches [[WretchedHive King's Landing]]. For one, Lady is not fooled by [[TheChessmaster Petyr Baelish]]. When Ned gets attacked, Lady gets restless and aggressive and has to be locked up temporarily by Sansa, along with Ghost.

* BaitTheDog: [[spoiler:Plays a similar game that Ramsay plays in the books/show where he appears to be releasing him, only to put him somewhere more nightmarish, in this case a flaying cross]].

* ArrangedMarriage: With Robb Stark. Joffrey threatens to break off the betrothal to force her to write to Robb.

* TheDreaded: Myrcella and Jeyne Poole are absolutely terrified of him. Cersei on the other hand uses the possibility of Domeric facing him as an attempt to intimidate Sansa. Jon feels trepidation about possibly confronting The Mountain.

* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:He killed Elia Martell and her infant son Aegon. He's killed by Jon Snow, a relative of Aegon and Elia (via marriage).]]

* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: She appears to be more confrontational than in the books, since here she barged into Doran's chambers and confronts him about the letter suggesting that Quentyn would supplant her, only for Doran to reveal his plans.

* DeathBySecretIdentity: Invoked. [[spoiler:Jon Snow tells Lorch his true parentage just to let him know that what he thought was his biggest achievement (snuffing out the Targaryens) was all a lie before having him torn apart.

* BattleBallgown: One of her outfits in the sequel is described as having just as much metal as cloth, with crimson vambraces and [[BlingOfWar rubies and emeralds sewn into it]].

* NotHelpingYourCase: Cersei's insistence on her children being Lannisters is in hindsight rather stupid, since she's supposed to be [[spoiler:disguising the fact that her children are products of incest.]]

* AdaptationalJobChange: In the second book Tyrion was acting Hand of the King, Littlefinger was Master of Coin, and Tyrion’s uncle Kevan was still in the field. Then in the third book Littlefinger leaves the Small Council to woo Lysa Arryn, Tyrion takes his job as Master of Coin, and Kevan becomes the Master of Laws. In the sequel to ‘’Our Blades are Sharp’’, all three are on the Small Council at the same time and the positions are shuffled; Kevan is acting Hand of the King, Littlefinger is still Master of Coin, and Tyrion becomes the Master of Laws.

* SmallRoleBigImpact: Tyrion only appears in five chapters (of a 66-chapter story) and hasn’t been seen since Chapter 24, but his advice to Domeric enabled him and Sansa to escape King’s Landing unscathed and persuaded Jon to not join the Night’s Watch, leading to [[spoiler:Jon killing The Mountain in combat]].

* ImplacableMan: Even half-dressed (that is, only clad in mail), The Mountain is near-impossible to bring down. He gets [[spoiler:shot a whole bunch, endures several sword slashes, is still alive from falling into a spike pit, and has to be speared through the head to finally be killed]].

[[folder:Ser Amory Lorch]]

[[folder:Colmar Frey]]

[[folder:Prince Quentyn Martell]]

!!'''Robb Stark'''

** Lysa Arryn, nee Tully. Like Lysa, she fell in love with a lord that she gave her virginity to, only to have their crushes wind up separated from them by the ambitions of a Lord Paramount and grew very bitter. However, Barbrey never resented Bethany like Lysa did Catelyn and became a surrogate mother to Bethany's son Domeric.

* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: [[spoiler:Myrcella appropriates some food, paying for it with her own coin, and distributes it amongst the smallfolk in King's Landing. Someone in the crowd shouts "Bastard!" and others start heckling her]].

* BadassBureaucrat: It's mentioned in the sequel that after Kevan returned to King's Landing, he is named Master of Laws and is doing pretty well at it.

%%* DeadpanSnarker

!!House Martell

!!House Tyrell

Second son of Lord Mace Tyrell and Lady Alerie Hightower.

* DemotedToExtra: Only appears twice; presumably, [[AsYouKnow his role is the same as it was in the books and TV series.]]

** Stannis Baratheon. Myrcella may not be an actual Baratheon, but she shares some similarities with her "uncle": both are the middle child of three, with a hedonistic and bloodthirsty older brother who they have to help hold up, and actively assist a Hand of the King that is decades older than they are. Robert outright compares her to Stannis, saying that she's stubborn like Stannis, but more charming
* GenerationXerox: With her uncle Tyrion. Though Myrcella is beautiful and Tyrion is not, they possess quite a few similarities. Both have a respect for Northern culture that other members of their family lack. Each has an abusive elder sibling of the opposite gender (Cersei for Tyrion, Joffrey for Myrcella) and a sibling they are close to (Jaime for Tyrion, Tommen for Myrcella) and are often overlooked for different reasons by a parent of the same sex (Myrcella because she’s a girl, Tyrion because he’s a dwarf) despite promising manipulative skills.

* DecapitationPresentation: [[spoiler:Jon intends to send his head to Dorne]].

* ArrangedMarriage: [[spoiler:His father reveals that he was betrothed to Daenerys Targaryen as a backup plan in case Viserys died]]. Quentyn, believing himself not deserving of the match, amends it so that Daenerys has a choice between him, his uncle, and his younger brother Trystane]].

* VirginShaming: Quentyn is aware of his lack of experience when it comes to women and feels shame at the idea of not satisfying [[spoiler:Daenerys]].
