Traditionally, my family has worshiped The Old Gods of the forest since the founding of our house. I believe that there is a power in this world, something beyond our total understanding. I just do not believe that they need to be constantly worshiped and praised. They are better than man so why should we try and bolster their egos with such worship?
I dearly love to dance and sing. While I may not be good at many of the feminine arts I do well in those two. Besides that my favorite activity is riding - the feeling of wind rushing against my body is exhilarating.
Often I've been told that I eat too many sweets and that it will make it so I don't fit my dresses anymore. However, I have never had a problem and so I see no reason to not indulge when given the opportunities.
In the North, life is fairly simple. I was born to Lord _______ of house Adaire and Lady _______. Even though I was the youngest child I never wanted for anything. I grew up with an old woman who would tuck us into bed when my mother could not. I never wanted for food. And though it was cold at some times I always had clothing and blankets thick enough to keep me safe. On top of all of that I was allowed to explore what made me happy like singing and dancing. Though in my personal opinion we did not have enough of those activities in the North. I learned to dance but never had more than a handful of events which allowed such frivolity.
There was one moment in my life that makes for an interesting story. A few years ago, when I was riding my horse through the woods with a few guards, a pack of wolves made themselves known. The horses went a bit wild as they sensed the predators before we did. I was separated from the others and was thrown from my house. I've been told by a maester what I remember happening must have been born from fear because it is very unlikely. What I remember is that the pack found me as I was the easiest target. My horse, new and unsure of themselves, had left and I did not have the sword or thick leather covered armor that my guards did. As they surrounded me they seemed to stop. The wolves did not attack me as I lay there afraid out of my mind. Instead they seemed to somehow understand my fright and left me alone. My guards found me where my horse had left me unharmed by the wolves. I've been told that there was never any wolves and that I must have imagined it, or had a nightmare so real from hitting my head when I fell or...something. It took a long time before mother and father allowed me back out of Winterfell after that incident, regardless of what did or did not happen. My horse had to be retrained and for the longest time I was restricted to the Gods' Wood if I ever went for a ride.
Shortly after that non-attack by the wolves which I've been told did not occur, the Kingdoms went to war. I waited for my father to return home day after day, sitting near my mother and older brother whenever a raven came to Winterfell. I wrote a letter every month to my father to be sent off with a messanger. Each time I would put a petal of the famous blue rose of the north so that he'd remember us. It took over two years for word to reach us that the rebellion was over.
With the end of the war also came an invitation by the crown to welcome back all the high lords from the war. A new lord of the Dornish region was also appointed by the crown and it was definitely a chance for everyone to meet them. I could not hide my excitement of the prospect of visiting the south where I've hard they have musicians play nightly and dances held almost as often.
Lynora has a rather happy and gentle personality. Her way with people tends to help her be slightly more charismatic than the average person. In fact, even when she's feeling angry or sad she holds her composure well like most of those in the North. It is because of this self discipline with her emotions that Lynora may be considered to have slightly higher levels of will power compared to the average person.
As a daughter of the Northern High Lord, Lynora has access to wealth above that of the average lord or lady. Not that she uses it very often. What she's used more of in her life is her mind as she's had access to a very well rounded education. In fact, compared to those in the South, Northern Ladies tend to be educated in more subjects with more intensity. The education of those in the North also includes a heavy sense of duty and honor. She may make a few exceptions when family are concerned but for the most part, Lynora could never envision herself doing what is considered moral unjust or dishonorable.
