Name: Robb Stark Nicknames: The Young Wolf (friend and foe alike call him this) Gender: male Age: eighteen Appearance: Robb's appearance favors his Tully side, with a stocky build. Robb has ice blue eyes, and thick, unruly auburn hair. He is strong and fast and is a skilled fighter with the sword and lance. Country: The Seven Kingdoms Keep: Winterfell Faction: The North Title: The King in the North (granted to him by his bannermen), King of the Trident, Religion: The Old Gods Significant People: Eddard "Ned" Stark (Robb's deceased father), Catelyn Tully-Stark (Robb's mother), Jon Snow (Robb's bastard half-brother), Bran Stark (younger brother), Sansa Stark (younger sister), Arya Stark (youngest sister), and Rickon Stark (baby brother), Grey Wind (Robb's direwolf companion) Setting: Westeros

Personality: Robb highly admired his father, Eddard, and he endeavors to be a good, honorable lord like his father. He cares deeply for his siblings, Jon, Bran, Sansa, Arya, and Rickon, and also has a direwolf companion like his siblings. He raised, trained, and named his direwolf Grey Wind, due to the wolf's speed and ferocity. Like his father, Robb has a keen sense of justice and courtesy and is caring toward his siblings. He shares his father's devotion to honor and is frequently accompanied by Grey Wind. Despite his youth, Robb forces himself to act more lordly and take on responsibility when needed. He hides his fears, stress, and anxieties behind a cold, authoritative and stoic demeanor that he keeps up when around most people. This is due to being named 'King in the North', and believes that if he shows this more vulnerable side of himself, that he will lose the respect of his bannermen and soldiers. This sometimes goes as far as him not asking for help when he likely needs it, something his mother will sometimes scold him for. In a romantic relationship, Robb is purely monogamous. He's the sort to devote himself fully to one person and one person only, though since he does not show his vulnerable side that often, people are not likely to notice this too easily unless it was a drastic situation. He has a bit of a possessive side, though it only goes as far as jealousy, he would not do anything on purpose to hurt the person he love. He is also a hopeless romantic, though he would deny any and all accusations of this. Robb's emotions are often reflected through Grey Wind's moods, as the direwolf can sense when Robb is feeling stressed, angry, sad, and so on.

Backstory: Robb was raised at Winterfell as his father's heir, and is the closest of companions with his half-brother Jon Snow. Robb and Jon trained together at arms ever since they were big enough to walk, and played at being mighty knights and heroes. After Greyjoy's Rebellion in 289 AC, Eddard brought to Winterfell a hostage, Theon Greyjoy, the last surviving son of Lord Balon Greyjoy. Robb came to befriend Theon and enjoy the elder boy's company. Theon joined Robb and Jon in their training at arms under the tutelage of Ser Rodrik Cassel, and Robb and Theon trained at sword fighting at the staircases of Winterfell. The Stark children, Jon, and Theon were also educated by Maester Luwin. Catelyn resented whenever Jon defeated Robb in a task put before the two youths. When his father Eddard, Lord of Winterfell, is named Hand of the King to Robert, and journeys south to King's Landing bringing Sansa and Arya with him, Robb remains in Winterfell to rule in his father's stead with the help of his mother, Catelyn Stark. After word arrives of Eddard's arrest in King's Landing for treason against the late king Robert's successor, Joffrey, Robb calls the Stark bannermen to Winterfell. When Jon Umber, threatens Robb's authority, Grey Wind attacks the Greatjon, biting off two fingers; a laughing Lord Umber becomes Robb's greatest champion. Despite his youth and inexperience, Robb unites the bannermen. When Robb marches south to the riverlands, his motives are to support his mother Catelyn's family, House Tully, in response to the invasion of House Lannister from the westerlands, and to bring back his father Eddard and his younger sisters. Bran remains at Winterfell with Maester Luwin and Rodrik Cassel. For allowing Robb to cross the river at the Twins and grant the northman his allegiance, Walder Frey, extracts the price of a marriage contract, ensuring that Robb will marry one of his daughters after the war is finished. With the aid of his great-uncle, Brynden the Blackfish, Robb achieves complete surprise in ambushing Jaime in the Whispering Wood, annihilating the Lannister horsemen and capturing Jaime Lannister. Meanwhile, Eddard Stark is executed for treason at the command of King Joffrey. Arya goes missing, and Sansa is a hostage in King's Landing. In the Great Hall of Riverrun, Robb, now Lord of Winterfell, is conflicted over whom to support after Renly Baratheon is crowned at Highgarden in opposition to Joffrey. When Lord Umber offers his sword and proclaims Robb to be King in the North, the assembled northmen and river lords also bend the knee and take up the Greatjon's call. The rivermen later grant Robb the title King of the Trident.
