30 DAY CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT MEME;;

DAY TWENTY THREE (x)

Stuck in a waiting room. Which magazine do they pick up?   She brought a book to read, and probably also a sketchbook in case she finds something interesting to draw. 
Morality:
What is one thing in their past they’re ashamed of? One thing they’re proud of?   Oh wow. The answer to both of these questions is somehow the same exact thing. Lyanna feels SO CONFLICTED about running away from Winterfell that it’s difficult to explain how shame and pride both play a part in these emotions, but it’s easier to see if you break everything down into smaller parts: She’s proud of herself for doing what she thought was the right thing by helping the princess and prince (and subsequently, she thought, all of Westeros). She’s ashamed that she ran away to do it. She’s ashamed that her actions led to such a complete loss of life, to the destruction of all the things she held dear, to so much tragedy. She’s ashamed that she did it also to shirk her responsibility to Winterfell; she is ashamed that she did not sacrifice her happiness and her life to be Robert’s wife (perhaps this is why she sacrifices so much now). She’s proud of Jon though– Jon is the best thing she ever did with her life. Sometimes she wonders if she could, given the choice, trade her son for her brothers, for her father, for Rhaegar and Elia, and Rhaegar’s mother, and for every soldier who died because of her, she wonders if some god offered her that choice, if she could go back and do it all another way. But she doesn’t think she could. And that, that shames her most of all.
