Marcus corvinus Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Most of the characters in the series are extroverted. It was the behavior that was highly favored in a boy in the middle ages. Extroversion, charisma and a warm outgoing personality were often essential in noblemen. But a few characters are also introverted. Here is a list of characters i think can be considered introverted: 1. Ned stark 2. Jon snow 3. Roose Bolton 4. The clegane brothers 5. Podrick payne 6 Stannis Baratheon 7. Victarion Greyjoy 8. Doran Martell 9. Quentyn Martell 10. Richard Horpe Also i think these characters might be introverted: Tywin Lannister, Brienne of tarth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philokles Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I think there are a fair amount of introverts, or people somewhere in the middle. All of the born Starks for example. Samwell and Stannis are the best examples of a total introvert, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wolves Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Jon is the most introverted character we see. Ned, Sansa, and Bran seem like the other introverted Starks. Stannis, Sam, Victarion, Quentyn Martell those are the only examples I got at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FacelessDude Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I know he no longer has a tongue but I believe Ser Illyn Payne to be particularly introverted, even if he is forcibly that way. Podrick Payne is very shy, withdrawn and reticent. Brienne is quiet as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Lia Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I wouldn't call Sansa introverted. She's a little shy, but she likes being around other people (when they're not crazy and threatening her obviously) and she loves big social occasions like balls and tourneys.

There is a large difference between being asocial and being introverted. To the best of my knowledge, introverts are those who draw their energy primarily when they are alone, rather than those who shun social interaction entirely. Like her siblings, Sansa is certainly not the former, but probably the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villemo Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Add Jorah Mormont, Davos, and Jaime Lannister to your list Reek. Maybe Robb Stark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all strike me as huge extroverts (I guess Sandor is introverted in some ways and extroverted in others). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevets Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Sam, Stannis, and Brienne are pretty typical introverts. They like to be by themselves and have difficulty interacting with others. Bran is also introverted, and maybe Robb, but Sansa and especially Arya are extroverts. They like interacting with other people and are very good at it.

Lilypad Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I'll agree with all the Starks and Brienne of Tarth. Being an introvert doesn't mean that you avoid people, but that you "recharge" away from others. I'd probably agree with Roose and Sam who seems to love books more than people. If I am picking Clegane brother it's Sandor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Fossoway Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Jaime becomes an introverted dude later in the books. Also Theon. Well, a lot of characters with POV develop into introversion as the books progresses. But to begin with, I'd say Ned was already an introvert. So is Roose. And Tywin Lannister. Quentyn is more a timid guy. Victarion is a dork. His reasoning is limited by his religious views. He's not an introvert, he just can't socialize well because he's not clever enough to do anything else than commanding a ship and a fleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wolves Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 1 hour ago, King Merrett I Frey said: Jaime becomes an introverted dude later in the books. I remember in AFFC when he was surrounded by soldiers Jaime thinks how he's in his element surrounded by people and how he was made for war. We get his inner thoughts but he likes interacting with people even in the later books. He jokes and is constantly surrounded by them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
