She is now a princess living in exile, the last of the Targaryens.
Daenerys was born in the closing days of Robert's Rebellion after her father, "the mad king" had already been killed. Rhaella and her son Viserys, were evacuated to Dragonstone shortly before Aerys's death, where Rhaella gave birth to Daenerys in the midst of a violent storm that destroyed the remnants of the Targaryen fleet, leading to her moniker, Daenerys Stormborn. Her mother died giving birth.
Daenerys and Viserys were saved from capture by Ser Willem Darry and four other loyal men who were able to spirit them away to Braavos. Ser Willem looked after the children until he died several years later, and they were forced out into the streets. They wandered from city to city, ending up in Pentos, where Illyrio Mopatis took them in.
Because of his unusual stature Tyrion has been a victim of mockery his entire life, with people overlooking his noble birth in order to tease and taunt him. He has also suffered physical indignities in a world not built for someone his size.
Often underestimated because of his size Tyrion is actually one of the smartest, craftiest members of his family and wishes he was taken more seriously as an advisor. He is easily the kindest, understanding better than others those that have suffered hardship in their lives. He longs for true companionship and love since both have been withheld from him most of his life.
Because of the Lannister's wealth, Tyrion is also quite lazy and debauched given to drowning his familial woes in drinking and whores but is never truly satisfied. Although the women he lays with often seem to come away satisfied themselves and not just with their payment.
Ayra is the younger daughter of Ned and Catelyn Stark, who preside over Winterfell.
Arya is a lovely girl but acts much more like a tomboy, preferring to engage in mock swordplay and exploring in the woods then learning needlework and other lady-like pursuits. She rejects the idea that she must one day put on a dress and potentially marry a man she does not love for political reasons of money and power.
When Ned departs for King's Landing when he becomes Hand of the King to Robert Baratheon he takes Arya with him and she is allowed to continue her sharpen her sword and fighting skills. She practices with a sword called Needle given to her as a parting gift from half-brother Jon Snow, to whom she is close.
Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey)
Cersei is the daughter of Lord Tywin Lannister, the richest man in all of Westeros and the late Joanna Lannister. She is the wife of King Robert Baratheon and as such is the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms.
She is twin sister to Jaime, with whom she maintains a very close relationship. She is elder sister to Tyrion for whom she only has disdain because he is a dwarf and their mother died giving birth to him.
Cersei is beautiful, cunning, and ambitious. She is wife to Robert Baratheon in name only, seeking affection elsewhere, but relishes her role as queen. She is fiercely protective of her children Joffrey, Myrcella, and Tommen and is not above taking down others in order to elevate them and the Lannister name.
on Snow (Kit Harington)
Although he lives with his father, Jon does not know the identity of his mother since Ned has refused to admit her name to anyone, though he told King Robert Baratheon that her name was Wylla, a servant in the employ of House Dayne of Dorne.
Ned raised Jon alongside his natural born sons Robb, Bran, and Rickon, but Ned's wife Catelyn has always resented him and treated him with disdain and Jon has always felt like an outsider, never really part of the family. Ned's daughter Arya, however, is close to Jon and he gives her a sword named Needle.
When Ned leaves King's Landing to become Hand of the King for Robert Baratheron, Jon decides to join the Night's Watch. It is here that the skills that were passed on to him by Ned come to light as Jon becomes a natural born leader with a strong code of ethics and an effective warrior when battling at and beyond the Wall.
Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner)
Sansa is the elder daughter of Lord Ned Stark and Catelyn Stark.
Sansa enjoys what are considered proper "lady-like" pursuits, and excels at sewing, embroidering, poetry, and music. She dreams of being a regal Queen like Cersei Lannister, and that just like in the epic songs she will meet her knight in shining armor She is obsessed with chivalry and tradition and knows her history. These romantic notions will be tested.
Ned Stark takes her to King's Landing when he is named Hand of the King by Robert Baratheon. He also accepts Robert's proposal to betrothe Sansa to his eldest son, Prince Joffrey. Unlike Arya who doesn't like the idea of marrying for political reasons of merging family and fortune, Sansa is excited by the prospect.
