which sibling do you think bran was closest too? i can't really decide
to me the stark relations closest to least close goes like this but its debatable
Robb →Jon (+theon iffy situation aside :/),Bran then arya sansa and rickon are probably on the same level
Jon→ Robb,Arya,bran,(rivalry with theon) distant relation with sansa and rickon is too young to have that much interaction
sansa→Arya,Robb whom she seems to idolize then its bran,(rickon too young but still loved) distant relation with jon (no relation with theon other than him having brief fantasies unless i missed it) she mostly had really close friends outside the starks being the eldest girl with different interests
Arya→Jon,Sansa,Bran,robb and again rickon is too young but still loved also no relation with theon unless i missed it
Bran→ robb and jon, Arya by being closer in age, not much on page interaction with sansa, rickon
im just jumbled with bran's relations he seems like the young middle sibling boy that cant be there yet with his big brothers but also isnt hanging out that much with his baby brother because of age, hangs out with arya because of closer age and proxy of robb and jon and its implied he was a favourite to sansa in her pov's but its never really shown, he still loves them very much but im always thinking he was just the middlle kid that was jumping off roofs lol
Honestly, i feel like it’s Rickon. They have a lot of on-page interaction, considering they were on the run together for two books before separating and after being the only siblings together left back in winterfell. Bran is also constantly being an older brother to Rickon while in winterfell and then later in the further north. So I would believe it to be them.
Bran also looks up to Robb a lot, constantly drawing strength from him - “I have to be as brave as Robb” - while he’s the one taking care of Rickon, Hodor, Osha, two huge hungry, magical direwolves. Robb is also the brother he is attracted to most in real time of agot and acok.
As for Jon, Sansa, Arya - I feel he’s equally attached to all of them. He is constantly thinking of all them, maybe Jon more when he’s at the wall and sees him (GOD that was such a heart rending moment). He’s also constantly thinking of Sansa and Arya, how he liked playing with Arya, teasing Sansa for her romance novels in typical younger brother fashion.
Theon is, well, Theon.
If we’re thinking pre-agot, Robb + Jon + Theon were clearly something. So Robb & Jon and Robb & Theon. Sansa and Arya were close in age so there’s that. Throw in Jeyne in the mix and that is also …. something. I assume Bran would also play with them and we’re close because he’s also close in age to both Arya and Sansa, and also because of Sansa’s memory of playing w them both in the snow but all of that said, I feel like Stark sibs deserve their own bracket of closeness especially in juxtaposition with siblings from other families (house lannister, house baratheon, etc etc).
