She cares deeply for her family, and is quite stubborn. She has a reputation throughout the land as being a devoted wife, and a skilled fighter. [/indent]
[color=magenta]Siblings[/color]
[indent][color=deepskyblue]Reed Stark[/color], 16 - elder twin brother whom she is rarely separated from. She desires to stay close to him, even when he is the head of House Stark, remaining his closest adviser and her own confident. He is one of three people to know her innermost thoughts, and the details of her visions.

[color=saddlebrown]Benjen Stark[/color], 8 - younger brother to the twins, he is daring and adventurous; much more outgoing than either of the twins will ever be. He has the black hair of the North, but such bright blue eyes they must be those of the Mormont. He's tall for his age, but only slightly more so than the average, he's looking to be a fairly heavy set young man. 

[color=hotpink]Lyanna Stark[/color], 3 - the youngest of the Stark children thus far, she has hair as blonde as the winter snow and eyes a deep storm grey. Her pup has fur and eyes to match. She rarely cries, and is a rather chubby baby, but she's learning quickly how to walk and speak.[/indent]

[color=white][h3]Skills[/h3][/color][/center]
[color=magenta]Strengths[/color]
[indent]Needlework - raised and taught by the local priestess, she had learned quite a bit about how to work a needle properly. This skill has come in handy for mending her own clothing as well as her brothers when their mother is busy with the younger children or helping their father. She has also learned how to apply this skill to mending wounds, something that interests her greatly.

Animal Taming - some say the girl speaks to the animals she meets, but they don’t know the half of it. She can sense how the animal’s are feeling, what they’re thinking and give them the impression that she is to be trusted. This gives her the advantage when dealing with animal’s she doesn’t know.

Skinchanger - in a sense, the girl is able to read the emotions and minds of other living creatures. She may transfer her own consciousness to another living body, provided that they have a weaker will than herself. She connects on a different level with animals than she does with people, bonding rather well with the bestial minds.[/indent]
[color=magenta]Weaknesses[/color]
[indent]Swordplay - unfortunately, his daughter of the North has displayed little talent with a sword, a mace or even a bow. She's not a very versed fighter, and thus lacks the skill or strength to properly defend herself. Hence, her dependency upon her twin brother for protection from physical harm.

Paranoia - a lack of trust in not only the people she speaks with, but the solidarity of the area she is in, often leads to days where she refuses to leave her bedroom. She works hard to get over this fear, though the only thing known to ease her fears is the direwolf, Echo, who she keeps by her side. 

Vengeance - Manasa may be a tad bit vengeful when she feels that she or her brother has been wronged, be it personally or by manner of House. She often uses her power of the nature world around her to exact this revenge upon the offenders, making it seem as if it an unfortunate accident.[/indent]

[color=magenta]Weapon[/color]
[indent]Manasa lacks almost any talent with weaponry, thus leaving her defenseless - apart from her good looks and her deadly direwolf[/indent]

[color=magenta]Personality[/color]
[indent]Manasa may not be the most friendly person one could meet, though she is often a stunning representation of what the southerners think of the House Stark. Stoic, quiet and brooding, with a rather skilled resting bitch face. In truth, she really is just misunderstood. She lacks the confidence in herself to make the first approach, and suffers from a rather extreme case of social anxiety. An intelligent young lady, she has little issue with problem solving, especially when it comes to matters of state, but is never sure of how to exactly say she has an idea about something. 

When it comes to matters of the heart, she is completely unaware of how to take ones flirting or affection toward her. Unfortunately for her, with her ability to sense the feelings of those around her, she is never able to ignore the approach of a male coming to make an attempt at courting her. These incidents are often met with rash, sometimes violent, means of disposing of the uncomfortable situation. It may come in the form of a savage insult, or a hard slap to the face, but regardless, few have ever come back for a second dose of nervous Manasa. [/indent]
[color=magenta]History[/color]
[indent]The child was born with eyes that shone a green that vibrated and changed though few of those present at her birth told of how the girl never cried; how she stared up at them with eyes already as intelligent as those of their many beasts. The meister looked upon their mother, and told her with certain confidence that the girl would be a skinchanger and a strong greenseer; few believed him until the girl turned seven. Manasa had wandered from the castle, beyond the wall with their elder brother to see the winter beyond when the bear came out of nowhere and attacked them. No one could figure out why the bear was awake in the winter, and none could understand what happened afterward; the great beast had roared before them, the horses bucked and the girl child fell from her pony into the snow but never cried out. The bear calmed under the gaze of the girl; her eyes flickered that vibrant green and yellow, momentarily matching the bears before the animal nuzzled her face and picked her off the ground. The bear never bothered them again. 

After that single incedent, there was nothing else of note in her life, apart from the birth of her younger siblings and her various trips to other keeps within the North. Her brother would always go with her, the two practically attached at the hip, with their wolves always in tow.[/indent]
