Bessa was a girl from Hag's Mire.[1]

Character

Chett considered Bessa to be promiscuous.[1]

History

Bessa was once propositioned by Chett, who had picked wildflowers for her. Bessa rejected and mocked him, however, on account of his ugliness. The angry Chett then stabbed the girl repeatedly with his knife and watched her die. Chett fled Hag's Mire, but was caught at Sevenstreams and forced by Ser Walder Rivers to join the Night's Watch.[1]

Quotes

It wasn't the knife I wanted to put in you, he wanted to tell her. I picked you flowers, wild roses and tansy and goldencups, it took me all morning.[1]
