History Characters / WesterosAnAmericanMusical

* KickTheSonOfABitch: The people he betrays aren't always that likable themselves, resulting in one of his backstabbings being one of the play's most triumphant moments.

* TheDogBitesBack: He kills [[spoiler:Tywin]] at the end of the play, as a payback from the mistreatment recieved from him.

* JerkassHasAPoint: While his response to it was excessive, the slight he recieved from [[spoiler:Robb]] was a big one, as pointed out both by him and Roose Bolton.

* AnythingThatMoves: Calls himself "hypersexual" in "The Dorne Identity".

* DoesNotLikeShoes: She's shown to be barefoot each time her feet are visible.

* PeekABangs: His hair covers the part of his face that is supposed to have a burn scar in canon.

* BladeOnAStick: He uses a spear when championing in a TrialByCombat.

* AloofOlderBrother: Stannis mentions Robert not paying much attention to him during their childhood in "A H(e)art Inflamed".

A Red Priestess advising Stannis who worships the god R'hollor, also known as the Lord of Light. She has magical powers that can give Stannis the edge he needs to win the throne, but R'hollor asks for sacrifices of King's blood in return. She views Edric as little more than a supply for the blood in question and has a general "the ends justify the means" attitude that puts her at odds with Davos.

-->'''Margaery''': I have always been well-liked and kind to all the presents.\\

Robert's foster brother, husband to Catelyn, father to Sansa, Robb and Jon Snow. He gets chosen as Hand of the King to replace Jon Arryn at the beginning of the play. Having reasons to think Jon Arryn's death wasn't entirely natural, he finds out about Joffrey's true parentage and arranges for Stannis to take the throne before being emprisonned for treason, and later beheaded.

* BewareTheQuietOnes: In "Robb Stark", Roose enters the stage at the same time as Greatjon Umber and silently watches while Greatjon questions Robb's position as commander and gets put in his place. After that, the only other time the song focuses on Roose is when Robb gives him command of part of his army. "Stark to Finish" reaveals Roose to be much more dangerous to the Starks than Greatjon ever was.

* BladeOnAStick: He uses a spear when championning in a TrialByCombat.

* RevengeBeforeReason: He wants Gregor to confess that Tywin odred him to kill Elia and her children so hard that [[spoiler:he gives Gregor just enough extra time to live to deal a killing blow of his own]].

Oberyn's three bastard daughters who come with him to King's Landing. The RebelliousSpirit is strong enough for them to debut in Act II despite the fact that canon introduced them after events that thake place at the end of the play and forcibly take the place of the raven narrator who tries to shoo them away.

* RebelliousSpirit: Their issues with authority is the reason Nymeria gives for them having no qualms about showing up early.

Three unamed members of Mance's army whose appearances are distictive enough to be recognizable as named characters from the original story. The events that led to Mance and Jon Snow meeting result in Jon being a familiar face to them as well.

* ShipperOnDeck: Her first line after the end of "First Watch", which consists on Jon and Sam talking about the latter's crush on one of craster's daughters, is "I ship it".

* BestServedCold: His comment about Eddard's brother having been "a douche" strongly implies that the whole FalseFriend stint was payback for losing Catelyn to his bother; it's quite explicitly the case in canon, while the play merely hints at it.

Cersei and Jaime's younger brother, who has drawfism in canon. The child in a MaternalDeathBlameTheChild situation, he's the family BlackSheep. He thinks of himself as the protagonist of the play, and assumes to be the heroic kind. He gets an unexpected opportunity to prove himself when he's made Joffrey's Hand of the King by his father so the latter can keep his focus on fighting the War of the Five Kings. Fortunately for him, he does have the brains for the job, and "nicest Lannister" is a low bar to clear.

-->'''Tywin:''' I am not giving away this spot!\\

** In canon, Jaime killed Rhaegar, Viserys and Daenerys' father during Robert's rebellion.

* BadassBeard: Tormund has his TV version's distinctive red beard.

* WellDoneSonGuy: He's this until [[spoiler:the Red Wedding]], after which he loses what little respect he had for Tywin.
-->'''Tywin:''' We loose the capital and our house is done\\
I can entrust this task to only my son\\
'''Tyrion:''' "Son"?\\
'''Greek chorus''': I am not giving away that spot!\\

'''Tyrion:''' I am not giving away that spot!

* YourCheatingHeart: He's cheating on Cersei with his whoremongering.

* YourCheatingHeart: Cheats on Robert just as much as he's cheating on her.

* TheStrategist: He's the one calling making plans and calling the shots for the Lannister army in the War of Five Kings.

* IncompatibleOrientation: With his wife Margaery, who quickly gets impatient about the wedding getting consumed.

Renly's politcally ambitious wife who, much like him, is working the "be liked by the common people" angle. This is however only part of the [[SilkHidingSteel silk hiding the metaphorical steel]] needed to carve oneself a space in the Westerosi political game, and Renly is clearly only a means to an end in her eyes.

* DudeWheresMyRespect: His rant in "A H(e)art Inflamed" includes the fact that he built a navy while Robert was out drinking and fathering bastards and him defending Storm's End only for Robert to the place to Renly while Stannis ended up with Dragonstone.

Rhaegar Targaryen's much younger sister, who was taken to another continent as a young child to ensure her survival. At the beginning of the play, she had just gotten married to khal, which puts her in a position to attempt to take the throne for herself. Fortunately for the rest of the cast, she has a few things to do in her adoptive land before returning home.

* BloodMagic: Her magic require human lives, or at least to actual human blood, to work.

* VagueAge: The actress playing her is short enough to pass as a teen, but the canon character is an actual child and other characters whose age is stated in the play are definitely younger than their actors.

* BlingOfWar: His outfit is nice-looking suit of armor.

* DoubleSpeak: Margaery says that the hairnet given to Sansa is "meant to go over her head". The term works both as an idiosyncratic way of saying "on her head" and an indication of the fact the hairnet is part of a bigger plan that will work only if Sansa is unaware of it.

* ParentalNeglect: When Stannis puts forth that his reign is blessed by the Lord of Light, Cersei replies that the Lord of Light is also a more loving parent to Shireen than Stannis is.

* SecretKeeper: He alludes to keeping a secret in "Hand-Holding". His side in letting himself and Robert drift apart prior to the beginning of the play is due to the fact that Robert is among the people the secret needs to be kept from. The mention of a promise as part of it indicates he's talking about a big reaveal that was made relatively late in ''GameOfThrones'' and is strongly hinted towards in ''ASongOfIceAndFire''.
