Jeyne Frey is the youngest child of the Late Lady Elana Frey and Ser Lancelyn Erenford, and the couple's only daughter. Jeyne spent a great deal of time with her mother as a child, only leaving when her desire for a southron lifestyle lead her to serve Lady Tysane Lannister at Casterly Rock. Her brother, the late Lord Symond Frey had different ambitions for his sister, ultimately sending her North where she weds Theon Stark, the Lord of the Dreadfort.

Appearance and Character

The late Lady Elana once said that her daughter's beauty was a haunted one. Jeyne found it to be perplexing, until she came of age to be told of who haunted her mother: it was then Jeyne learned of her namesake aunt, and the unfortunate fate that befell her. Their resemblance was unmistakable: the same dark ringlets, the same full lips that seemed ever smiling, and eyes that seemed so untouched by the tragedy of life. Lady Elana often described her darling daughter as "the Maiden made flesh", and if ever there was a glimmer in Elana's eyes, it was Jeyne.

Jeyne is the only child of late Lady Elana to frighten her. Not for any maliciousness on Jeyne's part, rather quite the opposite; Elana knew too well the dangers of having a rose without thorns. Jeyne was a trusting child of summer, from the inside out. She was content to serve at court in Casterly Rock, though at times allowed herself to chastely fantasize about the handsome Southern husband she would one day have, and all the lordlings and ladies she will raise. No matter her age, Jeyne enjoyed tales of brave knights and beautiful princesses. She was quick to worry about others and what they may think of her.

Her marriage brought about a prompt and permanent change in Jeyne. The now-Lady Stark retained her feminine graces, but a life once led by leisure violently turned to one of survival.

History

Early History

Jeyne was born on the 1st Day of the 8th Moon 420 AC, and from the moment of her birth, her lady mother Elana protected her fiercely.

Not only from the trauma of losing her namesake, but also having her first daughter taken from her; there was a possessiveness towards the girl that not even Symond could boast, and certainly not Walter. Jeyne seemed to exist in a different plane than her brothers, so different was she: singing and storytelling caught Jeyne's eye, until she was old enough to take up flower arranging and needlepoint- a hobby shared with her mother. As she grew, Jeyne enjoyed dressing up as she imagined a princess would, in bright and embroidered fabrics, decorated with a plethora of jewels. She was beloved at the Crossing, seen herself as a gem of sorts within its dark walls. For this reason, Elana strongly declared against any notions of sending Jeyne to King's Landing, which she felt to be a pit of snakes following her own experiences, and her disdain towards Lord Perceon Vance. But she could only keep her daughter happy in the Crossing for so long, and Jeyne was blossoming into womanhood...

Casterly Rock

In 436 AC, Jeyne embarked with Symond to Casterly Rock to serve Lady Tysane Lannister . The journey was treacherous, with Jeyne alternating between trembling with excitement and shivering from the cold. Eventually they made their destination, and to Jeyne's chagrin, Symond seemed to take with the place quicker than she did. However, Jeyne was quick to abandon her admittedly Northern styling in favor of pretty Southern dresses. Jeyne quickly adapted to court, though her virtue never wavered. She began to eagerly await her eventual marriage, though to whom remained unknown.

Upon hearing the news of her mother's death, Jeyne cried for a fortnight. Only word of a royal wedding soon to be held in Oldtown could cheer her, alongside news that her brother Walter would be acting guardian during.

Recent Events

Jeyne and her brother Walter attended the royal wedding at Oldtown while their older brother Symond traveled to Fairmarket to swear fealty to Lord Androw Tully.

In Oldtown, Jeyne makes the acquaintance of Aerys Velaryon, Hand of the King, and he offers her a position at court. Jeyne swiftly catches feelings for Lord Aerys, but it isn't to be; in Fairmarket, her brother promised her to Theon Stark, Heir to the Dreadfort. After a short period spent in King's Landing before she makes her feelings known, she is called back to Raventree Hall, where she weds her betrothed on the 28th Day of the 11th Moon, 438 AC.

Her experience at the Dreadfort was hellish, to say the least. While she served as its Lady, in truth she felt more like a prisoner. Only her pup, Winter, accompanied her. A reason to live came in the form of the news that Jeyne was expecting her first child. While at times struggling to come to terms with a child forced upon her by a man she didn't want, her child became a beacon of sorts; something to protect, a reason to endure.

Following the death of King Aegon VII Targaryen Jeyne accompanies her husband to the Capitol, where she learns of her brother's slander. This doesn't entirely erase the pain of her brother's death, although it serves to worsen Jeyne's newfound lack of trust towards others.
