Appearance

See also: Images of Alys Karstark

Alys is a tall, skinny, coltish girl, with brown hair woven into a braid. She has a long face, a pointy chin, brown hair, blue-grey eyes and small ears.[3]

History

When she was six, Alys and her father visited Winterfell. Despite her young age her father wanted her to charm Robb Stark in hopes of arranging a betrothal. She danced with Robb, whom she considered courteous, and with Jon Snow, who was sullen.[3]

Alys is betrothed to Daryn Hornwood, heir to Hornwood; they are only waiting for her to flower to be wed.[3]

Recent Events

A Game of Thrones

Alys's betrothed, Daryn Hornwood, as well two of her brothers, Eddard and Torrhen, are killed in the Battle of the Whispering Wood by Jaime Lannister.[4]

A Storm of Swords

After the escape of Jaime Lannister, Lord Rickard Karstark promises Alys's hand to whomever would bring him the Kingslayer.[5] Vargo Hoat maims and captures Jaime with the hopes of gaining Alys in marriage, which would give him the chance to become Lord of Karhold,[6] but King Robb Stark executes Alys's father Rickard for treason.[5]

A Dance with Dragons

Following Melisandre's prophecy to Lord Commander Jon Snow of a girl on a dying horse riding to the Wall, Alys Karstark, who has now flowered, arrives at the Wall to speak with Jon after fleeing her cousin Cregan Karstark. Cregan's father, Arnolf Karstark, plotted to make his son the Lord of Karhold by forcing Alys to marry Cregan and also declaring for Stannis Baratheon to goad the Iron Throne to execute the rightful heir of Karhold, Harrion.[3] To avoid this, Jon arranges for Melisandre to marry Alys to Sigorn, Magnar of Thenn, thus creating a new noble house that would claim Karhold should Harrion perish. When Cregan arrives at the Wall to claim Alys, he is thrown into an ice cell by Jon Snow.[7]
