Gwin Greyjoy is the daughter of Alannys Greyjoy and Damron Greyjoy. She is the younger sister of Aeron Greyjoy, the Lord Paramount of the Iron Islands and currently serves on the crew of Andrik Harlaw.
History[]
Gwin is the only daughter of Alannys and Damron Greyjoy, and their youngest child. She is a headstrong woman and a talented archer, though often noted to be lacking in common sense.
Important Events[]
First Era[]
Gwin Greyjoy fought alongside her mother and her brothers in the Reaper's War .
Second Era[]
Gwin fought alongside Aeron Greyjoy in the Riverlands when King Damon tasked their house with flushing the Lord Baelish and his army out of his castle.
Third Era[]
Gwin led a series of raids against the North at the command of Loren Lannister and her mother. She was captured by Dacey Mormont while attacking Bear Island. Her mother eventually led a small group of ironborn in a rescue mission, freeing Gwin.
Fourth Era[]
During the War of the False King, Gwin was ordered to remain in Pyke and assist her brother with the ruling of the islands while Alannys Greyjoy and Dagon Greyjoy fought battles in the Reach. While on Pyke, she learned of her mother's intent to marry her to Quellon Goodbrother, and fled, headed for Lonely Light. She was captured by the Drumms after wrecking her ship in the harbor due to fog.
Fifth Era[]
Gwin was given command of the Iron Fleet after Baron Harlaw demanded Dagon be stripped of the title for the death of Tristifer Harlaw. She was imprisoned on Pyke to await her marriage, but Urron, along with Masha Drumm and Quellon himself, helped her escape. She traveled to Lannisport, and then boarded a ship for Lys.
In Lys, Gwin was hired by a Lyseni merchant girl named Rhaena. She worked for the woman for a time before robbing her and leaving the city for Braavos, hoping to use her stolen treasures to purchase a ship. Woefully unprepared to fence and unable to fetch enough coin to fulfill that dream, Gwin traded her most prized possession - an ornate far-eye of gold and rubies stolen from Pyke before she left - for a spot on the crew of Andrik Harlaw, who she believed to be a smuggler by the name of Alaric.
Quotes[]
"The young Greyjoy was a buxom woman, no older than twenty five, with wide hips and long legs that let her stride alongside any man and match his pace easily. She was fortunate to look more like her father than her mother. Gwin would be considered pretty for an ironborn woman, which is to say that she wasn't very pretty at all." - Blood and Whispers
"The next time that you wake me for some rambling madman, I will put you in a gown and ship you off to the green lands where you will find women just as empty headed as you are. Would that make you happy?" - Alannys Greyjoy
"I am not meant for the chains of marriage. I am above such bonds. I will choose my own lover, I will chart my own course."
“I’ve been called a lot of things in my life. Smart is not one of them."
