Jeyne Poole is vulnerable, frightened, traumatized, and ultimately remarkably resilient. She is the daughter of Vayon Poole, the former steward of Winterfell, and grew up alongside Sansa Stark. Although initially presented as one of Sansa’s closest companions, Jeyne’s life takes a horrific turn after the fall of House Stark.

Her story is largely about survival in a world where powerful people treat ordinary people as disposable pieces.
