* AdaptationalVillainy: [[spoiler:Gerion Lannister]]. A man described as a fun GentlemanAdventurer, who was [[spoiler:Tyrion]]'s favourite uncle and a nice guy, especially compared to his brother, now an angry {{Jerkass}} who hurls [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil rape threats]] and wants to [[WouldHurtAChild kidnap/murder children]]. This may be partly due to differing circumstances, since he has a grudge against Harry because the Ironborn exploited his compasses in their rebellion, and his family was threatened, with his bastard daughter nearly killed.

Additionally, Harry specifically notes when they first meet that he has plenty of smile lines, suggesting that's his more usual expression.



** The context suggests that Stannis Baratheon thinks that Harry is a native Braavosi, due to his involvment with the Arsenal, Iron Bank and local merchant houses (that, or he's spectacularly GoneNative, which is still amusingly wrong).

Added DiffLines:

* ImmigrantPatriotism: Harry has a distinct dislike for places that aren't Braavos, mostly because Braavos is the closest place, values wise, to 21st century America. To his own mild surprise, he considers himself a Braavosi - or at least, Braavosi for lack of a return option - by the time of [[spoiler: the conference on dealing with the Red Priests.]]


Added DiffLines:

* NervesOfSteel: Syrio and Ferrego keep their cool around an angry Harry despite knowing full well what he's capable of.

Of course, this could be partly due to differing perspectives and circumstances - of course [[spoiler: Tyrion]] would see and remember his uncle in the best light, and probably saw the best of him. He has a grudge against Harry because the Ironborn exploited his compasses in their rebellion, and his family was threatened, his bastard daughter nearly killed, as a result or worse as a result, and given that he's seen as a Targaryen ally, Harry sees the worst of him. Harry even notes this with Oberyn; they're good friends, but the way Oberyn sees the world is such that if he saw Harry as smallfolk rather than as an equal, he probably would see him as utterly beneath him.

* ForWantOfANail: Yup. Harry is making waves.
** Rescuing the Targaryens from the streets and his later interactions with Viserys result in the boy being a ''much'' better adjusted person.
** Harry helps Viserys research dragonlore and they manage to hatch eggs nearly a decade before canon. [[spoiler:The Red Priests and Illyrio Mopatis also succeed.]]
** Thanks to Harry's compasses, the Greyjoy Rebellion ends up longer and is much more bloody, with Oldtown being completely sacked.
*** Robert wasn't feeling very merciful after the Rebellion. [[spoiler: Most of the Greyjoys are killed, Theon is sent to the Wall, and Asha is supposed to marry some noble. Euron Greyjoy escapes to Essos for some time, until Harry kills him after the fight with a kraken.]]
*** Varys is exiled from Westeros for not learning [[spoiler:(or more likely, not informing the Crown)]] about the coming rebellion in time. [[spoiler:He ends up with his friend Illyrio in Pentos, trying to hatch dragons.]]
** [[spoiler: Quaithe shows up in person to team up with the Targaryens. She shields them and the dragons from scrying attempts.]]
** [[spoiler:Harry kills Prince Garin, ending the curse on the Sorrows and the greyscale.]]
** [[spoiler:The Red Priests take over Volantis and prepare to conquer other Free Cities. And Melisandre is leading them.]]

* SacredHospitality: Thanks to the Winter Mantle being of faerie, Harry knows that there will be consequences if he ignores [[spoiler:Prince Garin]] describing him as a guest. However, the "host" doesn't realise the full magical implications, and isn't sufficiently cautious about respecting such things, which soon results in threatening Harry and leaving him free to act.

--> Our group's favorite so far had been when I shaped a cave's entrance into an immense mouth, stalagmites and stalactites forming a toothy grin. Anyone who sheltered there in the future would need nerves of steel, or willful blindness. Maggie had followed it by making strange tracks of some clawed beast into and out of it, driving paleontologists mad was a family tradition after-all.
