WSmith84 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 If Dany is Lyanna's daughter, Ned is an absolute scumbag and potentially worst uncle in Westeros. He allows his niece to be married off to a barbarian warlord and responds to Robert's plan to kill her with a shrug and a resignation. No plans to send someone to help her, warn her or anything, no. He just plans to go back North and maybe stop off at Dragonstone to chat with Stannis. How is this in keeping with Ned's character at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it was what he had promised Lyanna - "please, Ned, promise me that you will send my daughter to a psycho prince, let her spend her childhood without a stable home or a parent figure, never provide for her, never send or receive any news about her, and generally don't give a fuck about her". /end of sarcastic font/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fanfiction, there is such a nice label for these procedings: OOC. Which means, "out of character". There is no way I can see Ned do such a thing.

Little Scribe of Naath Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 The strongest theories are those which begin from text and speculate from there, rather than starting out with one's own headcanon and trying to get the text to fit that headcanon. Currently, this Dany is actually Lyanna/Ashara/everyone except Rhaella's daughter falls in the second category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
