Each of the Starks have dramatically different relationships with their direwolves:

Grey Wind fights in battle alongside Robb

Sansa loses Lady tragically early

Summer is host to Bran's burgeoning warging powers

Arya remains connected to Nymeria from afar

Shaggydog embodies Rickon's wild nature, and is now on Skagos

Jon may warg into Ghost when he dies (in the books)

We see Bran, Arya and Jon's direwolf relationships first hand, from their own POVs. But Robb and Rickon are more mysterious... This short video will be about exploring Robb's relationship with Grey Wind, and the possibility that Robb wargs Grey Wind after death, thus dying twice – and adding yet another layer of tragedy to the Red Wedding...

Some good direwolf reading here if you're keen: http://gendrie.tumblr.com/post/162055283915/it-is-curious-to-find-the-wolf-as-a-character-in 

Cheers!

I was a little quick to judge at being annoyed with the lack of capital letters and that it was a tumblr post. That was genuinely interesting. Thanks for sharing the link! I’m going to steal it to share.

I'm excited for this! All the human-animal connections in asoiaf are so interesting

LOL the lack of caps and commas! But it was an interesting read nonetheless!

I would love to write a novel about Rickon and his adventures with Shaggydog. I sincerely hope his thread does not become the shaggydog story everyone is predicting!

I hope so too! I hope the shaggydog name is GRRM trope breaking. I hope he wants people to think it’s a shaggydog but ends up not being.

Stephanie M

Yes! It drove me mildly crazy.

They are! I love the direwolves and their Starks. I love the ravens and pyschic characters like Bloodraven and Bran. Now let’s talk about the important stuff, what’s the connection between Tommen and his kittens?

Yeah Tumblrites often make questionable stylistic choices, but the analysis is on point
