Evelyne Mormont

Evelyne Mormont is a scion of House Mormont and wife to Eyron Stark of the Dreadfort. She is the youngest of two sisters and the thirdborn of Medrick Mormont and Jeyne Glover.

Appearance and Character
Evelyne has medium length raven-black hair and sharp brown eyes. She is a lanky woman able to find herself at ease in a dress or leather armour. Not one for flashy colours or overt jewellery, she can be often found in simple gowns or sparring protection.

Unlike most women, Mormonts are expected to learn to defend themselves from a young age like the rest of Bear Island, regardless of gender. As a result of this, Evelyne can wield a sword to some degree. When amongst family, she shows compassion and her good-hearted nature.

History
Evelyne was born in the 8th Moon of 377 AC as the thirdborn of Medrick Mormont and Jeyne Glover. Proving to be the complete opposite of her sister Sarra who was studious and elegant, Evelyne was headstrong and feisty which made her spend a lot more time with her older brother than her sister. Though her sister would have her believe that a woman's armour is courtesy and their weapon tears, she learnt to fight under the guidance of the Master-at-Arms with the arming sword and had her own leather armour made to remain agile without the weight of mail.

When Sarra was sent to be wed to the heir of Winterfell, Evelyne and her brother grew closer than ever as the dread set in that she might be sent off to marry someone she'd never met before and leave her true home. During the start of the great famine in 392 AC, she was sent to the Dreadfort to be wed to Eyron Stark. Though she found no real comfort within the walls of the Bolton castle, she settled well enough in the coming years. Just before the start of the War of the Three Thieves in 395 AC, she gave birth to their first and only child Benjen.

Upon the announcement of Eyron's older brother's death at the end of the war, she was delighted to have a chance at being the Lady of the Dreadfort before he isolated himself in his chambers. While she did her best to try and comfort him, he renounced the title of Lord and left her with great disappointment.
