Mladen Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 He wasn't their father. Like really? have we really come to that... I will quote Blackfish: "You disappoint" :) Some kids actually do look like their mother you know? That seems to be rather unknown fact to may ASOIAF fans.

Mladen Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 This is the fantasy world of ASOIAF we're talking about, not real life. I still don't understand... Some kids look like their mother... Sometimes it is plot purpose, like in Jon's case, sometimes nothing more than simple common sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPJK79 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I think It just goes back more so to the Jon/Arya connection. Arya looking most like a Stark and taking Lyanna's look and personality goes in with her being Jon's favorite Stark child. Just my thought on it.

Alaynsa Starne Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Here's what I wanna know: Why did Cersei not say to Ned "Hey, man, you're gross. Why would I bang my own twin, you sicko? My kids look like me because they're mine, fool." Like, just, so much trouble could have been averted by this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the author goes to show that 4 children look like a Tully while 1 looks like a Stark, and the bastard looking like Ned. That would be something to ponder about. Most kids arent lopsided from one parent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonCon's Red Beard Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Maybe neither Arya or Jon look like Ned but to Rickard Stark. : D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaynsa Starne Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 My parents had 3 and we all look like my dad. Maybe it was to make the connection between Jon and Arya/Lyanna stronger. And also because it gave Cat a bigger reason to hate Jon. And Jon looking like a Stark while the others don't is significant. So, basically, Jon.

That would be something to ponder about. Most kids arent lopsided from one parent. You are looking at this rather linearly. It is not all about the looks. Sansa for instance is personality-wise very similar to Ned while Arya shows abundance of Catelyn's characteristics. Rickon is the wild as his uncle was. Lyanna is intersection between Arya and Sansa. Children are wargs and that came from Stark part of family tree. The looks alone means nothing... There are more to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mladen Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Could you explain how Ned and Sansa are similar, or direct me to a thread that discusses that? Because I never picked up on it. Ned and Sansa share rather idealized view on world. While Sansa in AGOT lives in a fantasy world from songs, Ned thinks everyone abide to the same code of honor he does. They are basically blind when it comes to love. Sansa never sees Joffrey's true nature, while Ned is quite OK closing one eye to numerous Robert's transgression. Then we have their introvert personality for while Sansa does seem like outgoing type of girl, as the story progresses we see her becoming more and more private, being the quiet wolf Ned is described in the Reed story. Ned, with his calmness, opposed Brandon and Lyanna as much as Sansa opposed Arya. They share rather same sentiment of mercy and compassion. Ned wanted to save Cersei's children and Sansa showed the compassion to many people in her surrounding: from Lollys, Sandor, Lancel, Margaery, even Tyrion when she bowed to him when they ridiculed him. Sansa is truly Ned's child, more than any other of the 5 of them (the only one that gets advantage in front of her is Jon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack's Smirking Revenge Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Is Arya (the assassin) Stark a spitting imagine of Lyanna (the dishonorable) Stark? She shares similar characteristics of Ned (and Lyanna as well Brandon). I wouldn't say Lyanna is more dishonorable than her brother Brandon who, if the stories are correct, was quite the womanizer and the occasional asshole. We don't know the exact circumstances of her life either so I wouldn't be trying to draw connections like this. That said I'd say that there is a reason why Arya looks more like Ned and has the characteristics of the Starks and that is too build on the bond between her and Jon. Both look nothing like their family members and Arya looks like Lyanna so there is that connection. Plus the fact that Catelyn resents that Jon looks more like Ned than his true born children. Besides that I wouldn't put much stock in the why only Arya looks like Ned. It's simply to develop relationships a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
