[[folder:Merissa of Sherrer]]

Better known as Meri. A smallfolk girl from Sherrer, she is a few years older than Sansa but shorter. She is orphaned and made homeless by Gregor Clegane’s attack on Sherrer, and Sansa takes her into her service.

* AnimalLover: Meri really loves cows and takes every opportunity to spend time with them, even though she is being trained to serve as Arya’s maid. Catelyn Stark thinks that when they return to Winterfell Meri would do well in the dairy.

* AscendedExtra: Meri appears in canon when the people of Sherrer are brought before Eddard Stark.
->“In ones and twos, the holdfast of Sherrer struggled to its feet. One ancient needed to be helped, and a young girl in a bloody dress stayed on her knees, staring blankly… The girl on her knees craned her head up at Ned, high above her on the throne. ‘They killed my mother too, Your Grace. And they … they …’ Her voice trailed off, as if she had forgotten what she was about to say. She began to sob.”

* BrokenBird: As in canon, she was raped by Gregor Clegane and/or his men. Unsurprisingly, the experience traumatizes her. Subverted because with support she gradually gets better.

* InnocenceLost: Meri was a milkmaid minding her own business in the quiet village of Sherrer before the Mountain and his men came raiding.

* SexSlave: As in canon, Jeyne Poole is taken by Littlefinger and hidden away in one of his brothels. In this AU, Meri goes with her. Subverted because Bel stalls on training them because they are far too young for sex work, having them work in the kitchen instead. After Ned Stark’s execution she helps them escape with Sansa.

* ThereAreNoTherapists: Averted. While staying at Bel’s brothel one of the other sex workers, Jess, comforts Meri and helps her open up and process her trauma.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: This helps kick off the plot. Sansa prays to the Old Gods for the return of Lady in return for planting weirwoods and restoring them to honor and power. Unfortunately, she doesn't plainly ask for Lady back, just that she not "be the only Stark without protection" which gives them a lot of wiggle room.

[[folder: Ser Perwyn Frey]]

The fifteenth son of Lord Walder Frey and the first son born in the marriage between Walder and Bethany Rosby. He is part of Catelyn’s guard when she goes to negotiate with Renly Baratheon and later becomes her sworn sword.

* AscendedExtra: Perwyn does serve as part of Catelyn’s escort in canon. However, he gets very little dialogue and characterization beyond being one of the “good” Freys, as evidenced by his exclusion from the Red Wedding. Here, he and Catelyn interact much more, forming a platonic friendship.

* BigScrewedUpFamily: He’s a Frey. Perwyn admits that it is not a fun experience having so many brothers, sisters, cousins, etc jammed into the Twins.

* TokenGoodTeamMate: Perwyn stays with Catelyn after Robb’s marriage to Jeyne Westerling, ignoring orders to return to the Twins. He faithfully guards Catelyn and then Arya, and is led away by his brother before the Red Wedding starts.

[[folder:Bel]]

A Dornish brothel madam in King’s Landing. Formerly employed by Petyr Baelish; she helps Sansa, Jeyne Poole, and Meri escape the city.

* AscendedExtra: Bel is based on a character who briefly appears when Eddard is at one of Littlefinger’s brothels. “They went inside [Littlefinger’s brothel], through a crowded common room where a fat woman was singing bawdy songs…”

* BigBeautifulWoman: She is fat. Arya, Tyrion and Sansa consider her to be a handsome woman. At one point two Dornish lords argue over who can win her favor.

* CareerEndingInjury: Bel was a singer and qithara (Dornish guitar) player. During the Sack of King’s Landing, two of her fingers were broken, ending her ability to play qithara.

* CunningLikeAFox: Bel manages to protect Jeyne Poole and Meri from Littlefinger’s demands that they be “trained.” She then helps Sansa, Jeyne, and Meri escape after Joffrey’s death. When Tyrion investigates the girls’ disappearance, Bel successfully blames Petyr Baelish, then kills him and frames a pedophile sellsword for the murder. Tyrion ends up paying her so much gold for (half-false) information that she’s able to buy the brothel.

* ItsPersonal: Not only did Bel lose the use of two fingers during the Lannisters’ Sack of King’s Landing, she also lost her sister. Bel eagerly seizes any opportunity to take revenge on the Lannisters (so long as she can keep herself and her girls safe).

* StraightGay: Despite not exhibiting any stereotypical gay behaviors, both Arya and Sansa pick up on the fact that Bel is very close with her second in command, Jess.

* TheOldestProfession: Bel runs a brothel.
