Which character do you miss the most?

[Groot]

Just thinking which characters in the books do you feel we're killed too early and which ones do you still wish we're alive for winds of winter?

 

[Deɑth.]

Characters I miss:

-Tywin and Oberyn.

However, I wouldn't want them to come back.

I also kind of miss Robb despite his attitude sometimes and his mistakes. He was a decent king.

 

[ArstenWhitebeard]

I miss Lady and Grey Wind

for human characters I miss Oberyn, Maester Aemon and the Old Bear.

He isn't dead, but I also miss Bronn and wish he was still more prominant in the story.

 

[Anushka Mokosh]

I miss Lady. And Ned. I definitely miss Ned. Then... hm... I miss Aemon too. And Jaqen.... And Syrion... And... um... Donal Noyle. Oberyn definitely. I miss a lot of characters. Khal Drogo too.

 

[Boaz]

Sure, this is "what if"... and yet GRRM has successfully kept us riveted by writing his characters out of the story. (Less=more.) Robert, Eddard, Drogo, Renly, Robb, Joffrey, and Tywin seem the most politically important characters to have gone, but they are not all favorites.

Killed too early? (Do I think GRRM wrote them out too early, no. But I'd liked to have gotten a bit more from the characters.)

Jon Arryn. Did he know the truth behind Lyanna's disappearance? Did he know the truth about Jon Snow? Was he about to tell Robert about Cersei? Did he really believe Robert Arryn was his son?

Jeor Mormont. The Old Bear was a great character. Jon definitely needed more training.

Old Nan. What would have happened if Nan and Meera got around to swapping stories? We might actually know the truth behind the Others and the Starks.

Joffrey Baratheon. If the term "little sh!t" could ever be deemed as a positive, then Joffrey was it. He was a wonderful teenage villain.

Still alive?

Dacey Mormont. Mmmmmmm, Dacey.

Kevan Lannister. Who will rally the Baratheon defenders against Aegon?

Aemon Targaryen. I'd like to see him talk to Dany, just once.



Now, who do I wish was already dead?

Ramsay, Bowen Marsh, Daario, Lem, and the Huntsman.



And who do I wish would stay dead?

Catelyn Stark.

 

[Anushka Mokosh]

I don't think that Old Nan is dead. Or at least I'm hoping she isn't as optimistic as that is.

 

[LilyDraken]

I wish we'd gotten to see more of Syrio Forel, and yes, Jeor Mormont. I was just always so taken with Syrio and his outlook on life, it was a real bummer to lose him so early.

 

[Narkalui]

I miss my namesake Robb. Because he had my name, he's me

 

[LilyDraken]

Narkalui- if he is you, I'd be certain to watch your back at any weddings you might attend.

 

[Narkalui]

Ha ha I'll bear that in mind, but then on my Greed For Glory profile I am actually called Lord Robb Stark...

 

[ArstenWhitebeard]

look out for back-knives

 

[Narkalui]

On Greed For Glory I just fear Reapers and Fire Desmond, and bemoan my lack of iron and gold!

Anyway...

Who do we miss?

 

[ArstenWhitebeard]

Qhorin Halfhand was pretty awesome. Wish he was still around to back Jon and keep him out of trouble.
