Jeyne Frey

Jeyne Frey is the Lady of the Crossing. She is the eldest child of Symond Frey and Emphyria Vance, and became heir to House Frey following the death of her uncle Whalon. She has two late brothers, Geremy and Donnel, and two sisters, Elana and Visaera. She is the niece of the current Lord Vance.

Appearance and Character
Jeyne is short of height. Though still small from winter, she has the expected curves of a woman. In contrast to her ancestors, Jeyne has forgone hats and typically wears her dark, waist-length curls down. Hers is a sad beauty, pleasantness on the surface that scarcely conceals the melancholy beneath. She has a preference for embellished, jewel-toned gowns with a plunging neckline.

She aims to be polite, despite her more quiet nature. Her youth feeds into her idealist nature, particularly in regards to matters of the heart, though she has proven herself more than capable in practical matters in the wake of the Scarlet Winter. Under her vigilant leadership, the Twins have undergone a number of minor renovations and reemerged from winter stronger than before. Jeyne values her family above all, though only three remain in her line.

Early Life
Jeyne Frey was born in 388 AC, the eldest child of Symond Frey, heir to the Twins, and Emphyria Vance. At the time of her birth, her grandfather Emmon Frey was Lord of the Crossing. Though she was only two at the time of his death, all knew her from the glimmer she brought to her grandfather's eyes. This widespread adoration was seen as a change of fortune for House Frey, who had been plagued by infighting for generations. This small victory was soon overshadowed by Lord Emmon's death. Lady Emphyria tried consoling her daughter, though her pregnancy left her weak. Further tragedy came still when Jeyne's baby brother, Geremy, died in the cradle in 390 AC. Her mother, while still loving, was never the same. All the while, Lord Symond made small renovations around the Twins, making the keeps more sightly. In 391 AC, Emphyria gave birth to Jeyne's second brother, Donnel. His birth was marked by celebration, and the favor was quietly shifted to small but robust Donnel. In 392 AC, Lord Symond, the pregnant Lady Emphyria, and their children visited Riverrun in the midst of the Great Famine. They came with considerable rations, and some would say it was the only food they had left. Jeyne's younger sister and eventual heir, Elana, is born during their stay at Riverrun. Lady Emphyria's health worsens and she's advised to carry no more children, as she's already produced an heir.

Lady Emphyria did not heed the warnings of maesters, however, and soon fell pregnant with her sixth child. Further weakened by the famine and a particularly terrible pregnancy, Emphyria barely survived long enough to birth a living child. Jeyne's youngest sister, Visaera, was placed in her mother's arms and, perhaps distracted by the chaos, none removed Jeyne from the room as her mother bled to death. Memories of a gaunt woman with golden curls and tears down her cheeks would haunt Jeyne's dreams for many years. However, the devastation of her mother's death never inspired ill will towards her baby sister.
