## History

Many believe that the environment that one is raised in molds the person that they will become. With Torrhen that logic failed. Born into a happy family with his twin sister he was raised with love and wisdom, always taught the balance of things and to keep faith in the Old God's. Though his father never forced his beliefs onto his children, his twin sister Lyarra and himself would develop two different personalities creating a bit of a rift in the household.

His father always taught to negotiate when able, keep the peace, keep the balance... Whereas Torrhen would rather face the issues head on and deal with them, never one to back down or give in to the wants of others. Thus creating small conflicts between him and his father throughout his upbringing in the North as a young Torrhen's ideals of rule didn't quite mesh with the way his father ruled the kingdom and set laws for all seven. Where Brand would teach of wisdom and negotiation, Torrhen would pick up the art of sword dueling and weapon making. With everything always leading to small conflicts and arguments Torrhen would always feel as if he were losing the favor of his parent's.

This led Torrhen to keep to himself always exploring the lands outside of Winterfell no matter the weather, he always preferred the cold. One day on a hunting excursion he would stumble upon a creature people of the south would consider myth. A dead female dire wolf with a single surviving pup clinging to it's mother's dead body for warmth to survive, the only white one of the litter...A runt of sorts.

Torrhen would contemplate killing the creature out of mercy, but would ultimately see this as an omen as the crest of his family would be of this creature. He would instead take the pup with him as he travelled back home to Winterfell tucking it into his fur overcoat as he made his way home.

Much to his parent's dismay and sister's jealousy they allowed him to keep it so long as he raised it himself, he would agree and began the nursing process. It has been two years since the pup and Torrhen's first encounter and the two are thick as thieves. Sharing a special bond with his new companion, he has since given the name Snow due to her all white coat.

Though he has no mastery over it, since the day they became intertwined in each other's lives, they have created a sort of special bond. Torrhen has had glimpses of being able to channel into Snow's mind and perceive the world from her senses, though for just a few moments at a time.

He has kept this secret from his family whom he still butts heads with from time to time regarding matters, but no matter what they say or think he will be his own man. He would do anything for them and his cold kingdom in the North, defending it until the last breathe would leave his body... What will become of him? The world will see soon enough.

## Personality

Brash and upfront about many things, Torrhen will voice his opinion often speaking off of emotion instead of thinking. Naturally stubborn he does not like taking no for an answer as there is always a solution for an issue even if it didn't come from his own mind. Hot headed and very open about his opinions many in the North say that looking into the eye's of a motivated or angry Torrhen is like looking into the Winter's Wrath.
