Name That Westerosi or Bend the Knee (1)

[A] Tyrion Lannister | Drinks and knows things, usually simultaneously. Won trial by combat using words, lost another using truth—Westeros rewards wit over wisdom.

[B] Jon Snow | Knows nothing except dying, resurrection, and aunt-dating etiquette. Bastard who saved realm still couldn't pet Ghost enough for fans.

[A] Arya Stark | Girl has no name but extensive kill list. Trained as faceless assassin, chose family revenge instead—Stark priorities intact.

[C] Sandor "The Hound" Clegane | Scarred chicken enthusiast with surprisingly paternal instincts. Called everyone cunts while protecting Stark girls—gruff love language perfected.

[C] Eddard Stark | Honor killed him faster than winter coming. Warned us about everything, listened to no one—noble stupidity personified beautifully.

[D] Ghost | Albino direwolf, better companion than most humans. Budget constraints meant less screen time; fan rage meant more memes.

[D] Jaime Lannister | Kingslayer, sister-lover, one-handed redemption arc. Character development thrown out window like Bran—poetic circular stupidity achieved.

[B] Davos Seaworth | Onion Knight who can't read became realm's best advisor. Smuggler's pragmatism beats highborn stupidity every time.

[C] Bronn | Sellsword who named castle baby after Lannister gold. Upward mobility through violence and one-liners—capitalism's poster child.

[C] Tormund Giantsbane | Giant's milk enthusiast with Brienne obsession. Survived everything including fan shipping—wildling romance goals achieved.

[B] Brienne of Tarth | Sworn sword who actually keeps oaths—radical concept in Westeros. Knighted virgin who wrote Jaime's redemption—purest character standing.

[B] Daenerys Targaryen | Breaker of chains, burner of cities. Character arc speed-run from liberator to genocide—bell-triggered madness unconvincing.

[A] Oberyn Martell | Dornish prince who monologued himself to death. Had Mountain defeated, chose vengeance speech over victory—hubris meets skull-crush.

[D] Olenna Tyrell | Queen of Thorns who confessed regicide while dying. Poisoned Joffrey at his wedding—customer service we all needed.

[B] Jorah Mormont | King of friend-zone, champion of greyscale survival. Died protecting queen who never loved him—simping's patron saint.

[B] Lord Varys | Eunuch spy master serving realm allegedly. Whispered secrets, switched sides, burnt alive—little birds couldn't save him.

[D] Margaery Tyrell | Three-time queen, zero-time widow survivor. Outplayed Cersei until wildfire—religious extremism beats political genius.

[A] Lyanna Mormont | Ten-year-old who shamed grown lords into fighting. Giant-slaying child hero—remembered more than actual battles.

[A] Jaqen H'ghar | Faceless man who gave Arya murder coins. Mysterious assassin trainer—career counseling Braavosi style.

[D] Drogon | Largest dragon who melted Iron Throne, not Jon. Understood symbolism better than writers—reptilian literary critic.

[C] Missandei | Translator who spoke nineteen languages, died in chains. Romance with Grey Worm—only healthy relationship, naturally doomed.

[D] Edmure Tully | Lord of Riverrun and Catelyn Stark’s brother. Marries Roslin Frey at the Red Wedding and, years later, is coerced by Jaime Lannister into ordering Riverrun’s surrender—his most infamous “win” with zero glory.

[A] Shireen Baratheon | Greyscale survivor teaching Davos reading. Burned alive by parents for weather—worst Westerosi parenting award.

[A] Gendry Waters | Bastard blacksmith who rowed for three seasons. Marathon runner, storm lord—career advancement through cardio.
