**Rodrik Stark** is the **Lord of Winterfell**, son of the current **Master of Laws**, **Brand Stark**. Being born a twin to **Lyarra Stark**. At a young age of ten, Rodrick took the title, Lord of Winterfell. Forced to take over the North as a child, he would slowly become the same that he watched his father be when he was around. Becoming methodical and dedicating his time to the studies of being a Lord, Rodrik would become the successor to his father the best he could. Even taking it upon his own whim to train so he could defend himself or fight within war if need be, Rodrik also honed his strength to wield Ice. Throughout the years leading up to the present day, he became even more silent as time progressed, only speaking when need be or to his family.

## History

Youth for Rodrik Stark was simple for multiple years at first. Displaying the typical child-like nature a child should have, he was trying to have as much fun as possible with his sister, even acting as a watching eye to keep her safe if need be. Looking up to his father since the day he could think for himself and walk around though. Being such, Rodrik would just learn as he watched, keeping his youth though.

At the age of ten though, his world changed quickly when his father took to King's Landing, Rodrik was immediately put up to become Lord of Winterfell. With this newfound position, Rodrik would begin to learn more and more over the years, reading into books and being taught by the Maester, as well as his mother. Learning more throughout his life, he researched the landscapes, animals, plants even, During this time, Rodrik started to speak less, wanting to only have to speak when he had to or to his family. Training in combat with a sword, taking care of the animals of Winterfell, and keeping Winterfell standing was most of his life for the years to come, wanting to be the best he could in the eyes of his father and the north together. Due to his sheer size alone mixed with the silence that radiated from him, Rodrik began to be called 'The Quiet Direwolf'.

With the new year upon them, bringing further life into this hideous world, House Stark would make for King's Landing, though Lyarra left a few days before Rodrik did, as he had extra matters to attend to within the North. Leaving Winterfell in the capable hands for a bit of time to Rodrik's Castellan, Alren Cassel, with the orders that if something were to happen, to send ravens to King's Landing so he may be notified and act accordingly.

## Personality

Rodrik is a man of very few words and has been ever since he took over as Lord of Winterfell at the age of 10. By this point, he wanted to dedicate himself to the studies and path of learning to be Lord, so he could grow to be like his own father. It was difficult for the young boy who was forced to through his childhood away and become Lord, even having to disregard his twin sister by this. At peace with the world itself unless they prick him, he seems to be overly calm, with a long face. Quiet dignity shrouds him, even though when seen with his family, he is a whole nother man, much like his father is loving, caring, and protective. Rodrik is commonly seen training his sword skills, dealing with political matters or tending to the horses and other animals within his grasp. Always offering a guiding hand whenever possible, he will also always assist when he can. Just like his father as well, Rodrik has a mind for justice, serving any as he can and sees fit.

Rodrik was trained very well in battle, however, has yet to thrive within a real fight other than mere brawls. If there is one thing he loves to do the most in his free time, it is to be gently taking care of and sharpening Ice. His structure is put together a little too well, be it as rumors go, he is a peaceful giant, yet who knows what kind of anger brews within this giant's belly.

## Appearance

Rodrik is taller than most of his family, with a stocky and muscular build. His face is very broad and usually holds no emotion in his stare. His eyes are dull in their grey color, like the mist from the mountains. Typically when seen, he is always wearing a snow-white wolf pelt hung across his shoulders, the head still attached to it, strung along his right shoulder.

For ceremonial purposes or times of war, he will bear plate armor with Ice hanging on his back when needed. If it is by some mere battle or whenever he pleases, he wears hide armor. Past that, he wears simple warm clothing with furs from the North.
