Thanks everybody for contributing to my last Minor Character Appreciation thread for Rodrik Harlaw. Those of you who were there may not agree with me on this one, but I'm throwing down for Genna Frey (nee LANNISTER, and don't you forget it), because she is Lannister, large, in charge, and like the Reader, seems to have an interesting soul that I'd like to know about.Note her delicate diplomacy. Think about it a different way -- if the old Starks had razed House Bolton after their rebellion would it be so bad?
He says this in response to Asha's urging him to attend the Kingsmoot saying it will be like watching history being made alive. A lot of what he does seems to be driven by his desire to erase the shame his father brought on their House by doing the opposite.I appreciate Genna's candor and her pragmatism, and her attitude toward the Tullys is certainly understandable. I think that Genna is on the level of Olenna Tyrell (or will be there soon) as Dowager Badass, a position Cersei wants and will never have.I LOVED Aunt Genna. "There is much he did not say, or would not say..." But first, she wants to figure out what the hell is wrong with Cersei and why she's making such bad decisions. She never should have been married off to a chinless stinking Frey, especially one who wasn't the heir. The only sure way to make sure an enemy is no longer a problem is to make them a corpse.Now don't get me wrong, I'm not a Lannister fan by any means but Aunt Genna is one I'll be sad to see killed off.The only sure way to make sure an enemy is no longer a problem is to make them a corpse.Sure and that is the reason that LS and the BWB should string Genna, her husband, and the rest of her family up when they retake Riverrun back for the Tullys.The Blackfish is my single favorite minor character.
More importantly, she can give it to her heir, or bargain with the Tullys, should they survive. A Dance with Dragons. She's cool and all (and talking trash about Freys is a sure way to get on my good side), but she messed with Edmure and Blackfish, and that I can't forgiveI liked her more for her pissing Tywin off. If GRRM's not done with him he can find an excuse for him to go elsewhere... but of course, we are talking about GRRM so I'm not exceptionally hopeful. Tyrion recalls having seen an elephant in Lannisport's menagerie when he was a boy. At the end, Jaime is greatly troubled, because Genna is obviously right about everything, Tyrion is Tywin's true heir, and they (Jaime and Genna) both know that having Tywin's spawn loose = BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN.Afterwards, she watches as Jaime goes and procures a castle for her useless husband.
Lady Genna Lannister brings the singer Whitesmile Wat from Lannisport to the siege of Riverrun by Daven, the new Warden of the West. This also hints at the show's suggestion that the whole story is a dream or a tale narrated by someone.Every man should lose a battle in his youth, so he does not lose a war when he is old.Victarion says this to Asha Greyjoy when she chides him with the fact that he has lost more battles than her. Daven's a goner, too, sadly.Only if he stays at Riverrun. She was the only daughter of a great house renowned for its wealth and beauty. I hope the Brotherhood are smart enough to use two ropes for her. Many of your cousins and uncles rode with us in the Whispering Wood, but you chose to fight beneath the lion banner. Riverrun was not stolen it fell after Tywin and the Freys butchered Robb.
Genna feels that her son's bones should be interred at Casterly Rock in the Hall of Heroes.

This quote from Genna, and the fact that her statement was supported by observations you can make as the reader makes me pretty confident that he didnt father Tyrion. Please have patience.Edmure has his good points as well. She's cool and all (and talking trash about Freys is a sure way to get on my good side), but she messed with Edmure and Blackfish, and that I can't forgiveMy thoughts exactly. She's is many ways "Tywinn with Teats" that Cersei think she is.Will love for her to have a POV or two but know it will not happen.I believe the true reason Tywin wanted to make Cersei the queen so bad was because of how much he'd been stung by the experience of seeing his sister married off to a man who was beneath her. Please have patience.Edmure has his good points as well.
