🦋 Personality

Has your character always believed in magic? Do they have something influencing their perspective on the supernatural/metaphysical/spiritual from their past? How do they feel about magic?
In the world of ASOIAF/ GOT magic and the supernatural does exist. In certain parts there is less of an influence, and it may just be believed to be stories, or in the case of the North, stories your wet nurse might tell, but for Ygritte, who lives outside of all of that and even more north and reclusive than the North, they weren't protected by what the Wall, which separates them, could give-- supernatural or otherwise. So beyond the fact that this is the one thing that separates her from the majority of the people in this story, it does mean an entirely separate culture.

The Free Folk believe in the old gods and they have the weirwoods. They kept the traditions of the First Men, making her people indigenous to the land. They have skinchangers, and there's far more presence of supernatural or at least of a realm and a time and something else that exists in tandem with the people that live Above the Wall. It's less a belief and more of an understated known fact. In the show specifically the showing of the wights and what they can do along with their effect on the people is apparent. The Free Folk know what they're up against, an army of undead.

If you'd like pixies to change one event in your character's life, what would it be and why?
If she never died. It would make a lot of Jon Snow's story different, and it would likely mean some sort of resolution between them. Ygritte was such a large part of Jon Snow's understanding and his own growth. It gave him experience in a lot of ways, but in order for him to get to the next part of his story as a main character, Ygritte would have to die.

But if this was her story, it would be interesting to see how she might have to survive as a part of the Free Folk that survived. Survival is integral to who they are as a people, not having access to any of the trades and resources below the Wall. Now having that, having to work with people who are so different and who have essentially helped to keep them oppressed would be interesting, especially from such an outspoken person as Ygritte. Even just beyond her relationship to Jon and her connection to him as he became Lord Commander and then King, but for her as a person to grow, to learn to adapt, to overcome her own flaws would give her an entirely different story.

What is your character's most outstanding personality trait, and why?
The biggest trait for Ygritte, and likely for most of the Free Folk, is resilience. It's not just about being resourceful, which any person stranded in such a hostile environment and growing up in that culture would have to be, but it's also about being able to still come back even when she's been knocked down. She's quick-witted, sharp-tongued, and able to fight back even physically considering she's what's known as a spearwife, a woman fighter who is trained with a spear. That alone speaks enough given how patriarchal even this society could be (though there certainly is room for powerful women given the nature of freedom and choice in this culture, but that is the point if this is what she has fought for and chosen).

She's stubborn and ambitious, but even after Jon had betrayed her, if anything it just fueled her. She pushed to go on, to continue with the attack below the Wall, because she knew there was still a chance of seeing him (and while she said she would kill him over and over again that wasn't entirely the case). Survival does matter, but so do her own wants, and she will still keep fighting from her own set of desires-- even if it does end up being her own downfall in the end.

Your character gets to return home, but when they do they learn that they've been gone for hundreds of years. How do they react?
Ygritte probably wouldn't be too shocked. The Free Folk don't have a lot of attachments, especially as nomadic as Ygritte has been with the 'soldiers' she's been fighting with under Mance. Learning about the outcome of Westeros post-death would be a lot for her to process, just because so much did change for her people in that way, but as long as the Free Folk were there, prospering, probably trading and coexisting with the North, she would be happy to see her people, knowing that what she still died for did ultimately help her people even if she was attacking the Night's Watch. It still lead to series of events that would be the end of the terror and the death of her people.

Now what that new access would bring her people would be interesting to see, an evolution of a 'free society' that may not be beholden to the North or the Starks, but on their own. She may not understand all of that, but it would be a rollercoaster of emotions that would likely end up with her still proud of her people even if her connection to specific individuals who are now dead (and some are likely anyway given the amount of battles and death). She did understand what she was fighting for.

Not Interested In: ygritte tends to be a very blunt, cut to the chase, doesn't exactly care about being polite. this tends to get some negative cr in a more natural way, and i'm absolutely down with playing through that even if she may not want that interaction herself. so for me that type of neg cr kind of goes somewhere, but if you don't want to have our characters interact, that's fine. but i'm also not going to play neg cr just to be an ass or dick swinging. getting into physical altercations is fine, but i'd rather avoid just neg cr without any kind of play through personally. i like the dynamic, and i'm totally fine with your character not liking her for that reason, too. she's not easy to get along with in a lot of circumstances, but working through those character dynamics and getting to something on the other side even if its just mutual respect or acceptance is totally okay with me. or not and just annoying the crap out of them as players is also totally valid (think putting two children in 'get along' shirts haha)
