Gilly

Gilly is a young woman from beyond the Wall in the Game of Thrones universe. She is a member of the Free Folk, a group of people who live beyond the Wall and are known for their rugged lifestyle and resistance to the ways of the Seven Kingdoms.

# Early life

Gilly grew up in the harsh lands beyond the Wall, where she faced many challenges and hardships. She was born into a society with its own customs and traditions, where survival was a constant struggle against the elements and the dangers of the wild.

# Encounter with Samwell Tarly

Gilly's life took a significant turn when she crossed paths with Samwell Tarly, a member of the Night's Watch who was on a mission beyond the Wall. Samwell, who was known for his intelligence and bookish nature, helped Gilly and her baby, who was fathered by her own father, Craster, a brutal man who practiced incestuous relationships with his daughters and sacrificed his male infants to the White Walkers.

# Escape from craster

Gilly and Samwell formed an unlikely alliance as they plotted to escape from Craster's Keep, the home of Gilly's abusive father. With Samwell's knowledge of the Night's Watch and Gilly's familiarity with the area, they were able to make a daring escape and head towards Castle Black, the headquarters of the Night's Watch.

# Life at castle black

Gilly's arrival at Castle Black was met with mixed reactions from the members of the Night's Watch. While some were welcoming, others were skeptical of her and her baby, as the Night's Watch was sworn to celibacy and frowned upon any connection with the Free Folk. However, Gilly's gentle nature and her dedication to her baby won her the support of some of the Night's Watch members, including Samwell and Jon Snow.

# Relationship with Samwell Tarly

Over time, Gilly and Samwell developed a deep bond, with Samwell becoming a father figure to Gilly's baby and eventually falling in love with her. Gilly, in turn, appreciated Samwell's kindness, intelligence, and unwavering support. Their relationship faced challenges and obstacles, including disapproval from some members of the Night's Watch and Samwell's own struggles with self-doubt, but their love for each other persevered.

# journey to the citadel

Gilly and Samwell embarked on a journey to the Citadel, a prestigious institution of learning in Westeros, with the hope of finding information that could help in the battle against the White Walkers. Along the way, they faced danger, encountered new allies, and learned valuable information about the history of Westeros and the impending threat of the White Walkers.

# return to the north

After their time at the Citadel, Gilly and Samwell returned to the North, where they reunited with Jon Snow and others in the fight against the Night King and the White Walkers. Gilly's knowledge and determination to protect her baby and those she cared about made her a valuable ally in the battle against the impending doom.

# aftermath

Following the defeat of the Night King and the end of the White Walker threat, Gilly settled into life in the North with Samwell and her baby. She found purpose and fulfillment in raising her child and supporting Samwell in his endeavors, including his work in the Night's Watch and his pursuit of knowledge.
