There are many characters in the grand narrative framework of Game of Thrones, but there are two characters who hold a special place in my heart. Early in the story, I was fascinated by Tyrion Lannister's intelligence and wit.
However, as the plot progresses, a more unusual character gradually comes into my sight - Lyanna Mormont, popularly known as the Little Bear Girl.
She didn't appear much, only four or five scenes in total, less than half an hour, and only more than 40 lines, but every time I remember it vividly.
The little bear girl is only ten years old, but she has maturity and wisdom beyond her years. Her aura and courage are unique among the Northern Princes, and her eloquence surpasses that of even the Starks.
Her birth is the pride of the family, and her parents named Bear Girl in the name of the late Lyanna Stark, hoping that Bear Girl can be like Lyanna in the future. But judging from the performance of Little Bear Girl later, she not only inherited the name, but also surpassed the old Lyanna and showed excellent leadership skills.
Under the influence of her father and uncle, Lyanna grew into an unusual leader. Although she didn't have much experience, her management of Bear Island showed her deep political wisdom. She is able to discern right from wrong, guard against the dangers of the world, and listen to loyal advisors.
In the section where Snow, Sansa, and Onion Knight visit Bear Island, she vividly demonstrated her governance ability and national integrity. Previously, Stannis, in the name of the king, demanded that Bear Island be loyal to him, but the little Bear Island actually turned his arm into a car and refused Stannis's allegiance request, firmly stating that they were only loyal to the Stark family. At that time, the Stark family's descendants, Snow and Sansa, had formed an alliance with Stannis. So, on the instructions of Stannis, the siblings traveled to Bear Island as emissaries.
Snow and Sansa, as important characters in the play, although they have experienced countless hardships and dangers, they still can't help but be a little contemptuous when they face the young Lord of Bear Island for the first time. Sansa once shone in King's Landing's social circles, trying to coax Lyanna with sweet words, complimenting the little girl's mother on her good looks, but this silly white sweet never imagined that she would run into the soft nails of the Mormont family on Bear Island as soon as she spoke. Lyanna reveals that her mother was an ordinary-looking but great warrior who died protecting your brother Robb Stark at a bloody wedding.
Beargirl's words show her wisdom and maturity, leaving Snow and Sansa speechless. Snow took over the conversation and said that I was Stannis's affairs officer, and then babbled on useless words for a long time, when the little bear girl simply interrupted them directly, and asked them to explain their intentions directly.
Then Snow, in the name of the Stark family, condescendingly demanded the allegiance of Bear Island.
Snow's request can be said to be quite shameless, after all, Bear Island's loyalty has always been to the independent Stark family, not to any external puppet. Snow, who is willing to be a lobbyist for Stannis, makes the little bear girl look down on her heart: the old lady is loyal to you as the king, but you are a lackey for others.
So Bear Girl turns on the invincible mode again, questioning Snow and Sansa's position, pointing out that they don't seem to have the qualifications to represent the Stark family as illegitimate children and people allied with rival families. Snow's embarrassment and anger spiral out of control, and he tries to convince Lyanna with a big reason, but she cuts it off: she makes it clear that she is responsible for Bear Island, and has insight into Snow's true intentions, which is nothing more than trying to use the warriors of Bear Island as cannon fodder for the war.
In this contest, Snow and Sansa's powerlessness is exposed, and their intentions are exposed by Lyanna. At this point, Davos, the onion knight, stepped in and calmed the situation with more understanding and reasonable words. He emphasized the real threat facing us today – the war between the living and the dead, which is not a matter of allegiance, but the survival of humanity.
The Onion Knight's words cause Bear Girl to re-evaluate him, and she immediately asks the Maester about his background.
Although Bear Girl has never traveled the Seven Kingdoms, her insight is no less than Tyrion's. Davos's sincerity and understanding struck her, and it also reflected the weakness of the two young members of the Stark family. After learning all about the stakes, Lyanna made the decision, graciously telling the three lobbyists that the Mormont family's pledge of loyalty to the Stark family would never change, and agreed to join their alliance.
Then Snow asked another idiotic question: How many fighters can you dispatch?
Little Bear did not answer this question directly, but first carefully consulted with the strategists and thoroughly assessed the military strength of her territory. After some calculations, she replied firmly: "We have 62 warriors." ”
In the suspicious eyes of Snow and Sansa, the little bear girl explained frankly, "Although our land is small and the population is sparse, the warriors of Bear Island are all warriors, and each of them can fight against ten. ”
Facing this lord, who was only ten years old, the Onion Knight was full of admiration: "If these warriors can be as brave as you, Miss, then the Bolton family will definitely be defeated." His words revealed a high opinion of Lyanna, and the other meaning of this sentence was that the Stark family's Living Treasure and Bear Girl were not on the same level at all.
Lyanna Mormont's bravery and wisdom allowed her to rise to prominence under the rule of Duke Tywin.
Over time, if there was a broader stage, she would undoubtedly become a great leader.
At a meeting of the nobles of the North, the adult lords were hesitant to support Snow in leading the North. At this critical juncture, young Lyanna stepped up to the bench for Snow in her unique way and strong personal charisma, avoiding further division in the North.
Little Bear's decisiveness, leadership, and calm judgment that is not swayed by emotions show her extraordinary leadership temperament, which everyone cannot but admire.
Personally, I think that in her, we are witnessing the potential of a queen that the North may have overlooked. Although her status and status may not have met the traditional requirements of the throne, her bravery and determination undoubtedly demonstrated true leadership.
If the world of Game of Thrones weren't so much about bloodline and status, how might the story of Ursa Cub unfold? Her heroism and dedication to justice culminate in Winterfell's battle against the Wraiths. The scene of her young fighting a giant stranger and eventually dying with her enemies is etched in my heart.
The youngest child, with the greatest courage, kills the most powerful giant, and this is the little bear girl.
Bear Girl's bravery is not just a performance on the battlefield, her spirit affects every viewer. Her existence surpasses the other aristocratic families in the play, what Targaryen, what Baratheon, what Stark, what Lannister, what Jia Kun Erya, in front of the little bear girl, all of them are overshadowed. With her actions, she proved that true strength lies not in blood, but in the courage in her heart and the pursuit of justice
If I were in the world of Game of Thrones, I wouldn't want to be a Kingsguard or a Knight, I would just want to be the 63rd warrior on Bear Island, fighting alongside her to defend my homeland.
The story of Lyanna Mormont is not only a character's narrative, but also a spiritual inheritance. Her bravery and tenacity will always inspire us to move forward and become an unquenchable flame in our hearts.
