Which Game of Thrones Character Are You?

Winter is coming, and so is a very important question. If you woke up tomorrow in Westeros, would you be giving the speech, plotting behind the curtain or quietly sharpening a sword in the corner? Game of Thrones gave us dozens of characters, but a handful became the ones people still argue about at dinner parties years after the finale. They're the ones whose choices feel like choices you might make, for better or worse, which is exactly what makes them fun to measure yourself against.

Honor, Fire and a Very Clever Mouth

Jon Snow types do the right thing, even when the right thing is going to hurt. Jon spent most of the series at the edge of the world, freezing in a black cloak and making unpopular decisions because he believed they'd save lives. If you're a Jon, people follow you because you're honest, not because you're flashy. You also know nothing, at least according to one very persistent redhead.

Daenerys types dream big. Daenerys walked into a fire and walked out with three baby dragons, then spent years freeing cities and collecting titles long enough to need their own scroll. Dany types are passionate, idealistic and driven by a clear sense of justice. The risk is that conviction can turn into impatience, and impatience can burn bridges, sometimes literally.

Tyrion types win with words. Tyrion drank, read, joked and talked his way out of more death sentences than anyone in the Seven Kingdoms. If you're a Tyrion, you're the smartest person in most rooms and the funniest, and you use both to protect people who would rarely protect you back.

The Stark Sisters Grow Up Differently

Arya and Sansa started in the same castle and ended up worlds apart. Arya wanted a sword instead of needlework, trained across the sea and kept a list of names she repeated every night before sleeping. Arya types are independent, restless and fiercely loyal to family, though they'd rather show it with action than with hugs.

Sansa wanted songs, knights and a handsome prince. What she got was years of cruelty in the capital, and she learned from every minute of it. By the end, she was outplaying the people who once underestimated her. Sansa types are patient, observant and far tougher than their manners suggest. They also remember everything.

Where Brienne Fits In

Brienne of Tarth deserves her own section, because no character in the show is quite as stubbornly good. She was mocked for being tall, for wanting to be a knight and for keeping her oaths when everyone else broke theirs. She kept them anyway. Brienne types are the friends you'd trust with your house keys, your secrets and your little sister. They're loyal past the point of reason, a little awkward at feasts and unbeatable in a fair fight.

What ties all six together is that each one gets underestimated at some point. Jon is dismissed as a bastard, Dany is treated like a pawn, Tyrion is a joke to his own father, Arya is just a little girl, Sansa is the silly one and Brienne is laughed at by every knight she meets. Every one of them proves the room wrong. That might be why so many fans picture themselves in this cast. Almost everyone has had a moment when nobody expected much from them.

The quiz asks how you'd behave at a feast, what you'd do with a dragon egg, which weapon you'd reach for and how you handle a broken promise. Pick fast. There's a raven waiting for your reply.
