Jon you are so loved

Alys Karstark

“Alys is a tall, skinny, coltish girl. She weaves her brown hair into a braid and has a small bosom. The pale girl has a long face, a pointy chin, blue-grey eyes, and small ears.”

The Magnar all but ripped the maiden's cloak from Alys's shoulders, but when he fastened her bride's cloak about her he was almost tender. As he leaned down to kiss her cheek, their breath mingled. The flames roared once again. (ADWD, Jon X)

the North part 2!

in order of: Sansa Stark -> Arya Stark -> Jeyne Poole -> Theon Greyjoy -> Ramsay Snow -> Wylla Manderly -> Alys Karstark -> Septa Mordane

nothing says “revenge is a pointless cycle of destruction” more than the story of the starks and the karstarks. robb marches to war to save his father, and the karstarks march with him. lord karstark’s sons die in the fighting, and robb loses his father anyway. catelyn returns jaime to his father in an attempt to save her daughters, so lord karstark kills the lannister children to avenge his own. robb executes lord karstark as justice to the dead lannister children’s fathers, leaving the remaining karstark children fatherless (lord karstark’s last words are to remind robb that they share the same blood) (he dies anyway). so now all of these fathers and sons are dead because robb wanted to avenge his father, and catelyn wanted to keep her children alive. catelyn loses her son anyway, and ned stark is still dead.

“[Lord Karstark] is dead now too, though. So is your brother. But you and I are here, still living. Is there blood feud between us, Lord Snow?” (ADWD, Jon IX)

and the answer is no. there is no blood feud between them. jon snow and alys karstark meet in a state of mourning, survivors of their broken families. but rather than create more dead fathers and sons, they arrange a marriage instead. jon and alys break the cycle—and begin to heal what’s left of their families.
