[History]

Ygritte

[Personality Overview]

As a spearwife, Ygritte is a warrior first and has lived her whole life with one sole objective in mind: to survive by any means necessary. Essentially, it is a task that has her fighting a constant battle with the harsh conditions in which she lives and other threats, but the greatest one being the Others. It has made her a strong, albeit hardened woman; courageous and as resolute as any man she fights alongside. Most of whom she has earned (and maintained) a certain level of respect from the men within her wildling clan. That said, it definitely goes without saying that Ygritte prides herself on being able to do anything those men can do, and will even confidently boast that she can do it better because she’s a woman.

Yes, that definitely means she’s a proud, independent one and Ygritte is not afraid to say so and in the most blunt way possible. She’s brutally honest, oftentimes in vulgar and crass ways, which leaves people sometimes speechless and uncomfortable. She also has little to no filters, saying and acting the way she wants to without any shame, or reservation. She doesn't complain either and takes on a 'it is what it is' kind of mentality.

However, Ygritte is not without her flaws either. Having spent so much time around men, there’s a need to keep herself distant and guarded where emotions are concerned. Emotions lead to being vulnerable and being vulnerable leaves one susceptible to weakness. Anything that she anticipates making her feel that specific way is dealt with head on in a very cold manner and a fiery temper. She's not beyond revenge.

It’s only when she thinks no one is looking that she allows herself to react emotionally, which is how she dealt with Jon’s betrayal and which also led to the hesitation in killing him at the Battle of Castle Black. It was the precise moment that led to her death, in the end.

Operation Blue Wolf

In every mission, there are Rules of Engagement. A list of do's and don'ts when faced with a threat. Their unit knew them well, had been briefed to make sure and the assignment was as it always was: only to scout the area and locate the threat. When that was done the next unit would be deployed to do their job.  

They were the best team for the job and everyone knew it. They worked well together and Ygritte considered each her Brother, despite not getting along so well with her captain when they were all off-duty. In her opinion, Robb Stark was uptight, too serious and he didn't seem to like her much either, for whatever reason. But she respected him and was bound to the men in her unit - her Brothers - who became the family she never really knew. 

It was raining hard when the Apache lowered them to their drop point. From there they began and after a few hours, the downpour had prevented the window to do a proper surveillance in order to pinpoint the threat; a man they renamed as 'Ramsay' for the sake of not blowing their cover if their secure comms signal failed and a SAT call had to be resorted to. Little did they know, however, that their cover was already blown and the army behind their threat was onto them no sooner than the started the mission.

Ygritte stepped lightly, hardly able to see two feet in front of her due to the constant flow of water that ran down her face. In front of her was Edd, their point man. To her right, Robb and beyond him and back some was Podrick, leaving Davos in the less than 50 fifty feet behind them all. 

But in a matter of moments, they came under attack and Ygritte trained her sights on several threats while waiting for the barking order from their captain.
