![]() When the wildling band sees the aftermath of the fight at the Fist, Mance is furious with Jon as he did not warn him of the Night's Watch force there. Jon listens to Ygritte sing " The Last of the Giants" with Tormund, Ryk, and Tormund's family. Ygritte mocks Jon with "You know nothing, Jon Snow" for the first time when comparing hot and cold baths. Tormund explains to Jon that according to free folk culture, he had stolen her by slaying her companions and then sparing her life. Ygritte follows him to Tormund's company and routinely beds down next to him, though he initially refuses her advances and uses Ghost to keep her away. After Jon meets with Mance Rayder and convinces him he has turned his cloak in truth, he is told to ride with Tormund Giantsbane. Ygritte takes the hooded cloak of Qhorin Halfhand for herself, and Longspear Ryk gives her Qhorin's helm since it does not fit him. Ygritte heads toward the Wall, by Magali Villeneuve © Fantasy Flight Games Although Rattleshirt wants to kill Jon, Ygritte and the other wildlings spare his life. Ygritte is present when Jon, under Qhorin's implicit command, slays the Halfhand and purports to turn his cloak. After Dalbridge, Ebben, and Stonesnake are killed or disappear, Jon and Qhorin are surrounded by the wildlings. After Ghost, Jon's direwolf, is attacked by Orell's eagle, Qhorin decides that the black brothers should retreat. After she disappears, Qhorin reveals he had placed her fate in Jon's hands to see what the youth would do. Presuming that Qhorin had ordered him to kill her, Jon nevertheless lets Ygritte escape. Ygritte suggests that Jon desert and join Mance Rayder, the King-Beyond-the-Wall, but Jon refuses. The wildling is brought to the Halfhand, who instructs Jon to do what must be done with her. Jon scoffs at this idea, calling Bael a liar, but Ygritte shrugs it off. Ygritte tells the story of Bael the Bard, a song which insinuates that House Stark has wildling blood as well. As they wait for Qhorin's arrival, Jon reveals he is Eddard Stark's bastard. She yields, but only offers minimal information. Her companions, Orell and another man, are slain, but Ygritte is spared as Jon balks at killing a woman. Qhorin Halfhand, the leader of a scouting party of the Night's Watch, sends Stonesnake and Jon Snow to ambush wildlings they have spotted. Ygritte is part of Rattleshirt's band of free folk in the Skirling Pass. Ygritte, by Dani Hartel © Fantasy Flight Games When the lover returned, Longspear broke his arm and chased him off. ![]() Ygritte lost her maidenhead to a red-haired youth at a feast five years ago, but she was unimpressed with her lover. Ygritte came from the same village as Longspear Ryk, whom she regards as a brother. Ygritte learned the song of Bael the Bard from her mother. She fletches her arrows with pale grey goose feathers. Ygritte wields axe and bone dagger but prefers a short curved bow of horn and weirwood. The spearwife wears layers of fur and wool and leather, a doeskin shirt and a sewn sheepskin helm. She has a warm smile and can sing in a low husky voice. Although he finds her features unconventional, Jon sees Ygritte as pretty, especially when she smiles. Free folk consider red hair to be lucky and describe those with it as having been " kissed by fire," and they consider Ygritte a great beauty. ![]() Ygritte's most distinctive feature is her thick, shaggy mop of curly bright red hair. Jon, who is three years younger and half a foot taller, thinks Ygritte is short for her age. She has pretty blue-grey eyes which Jon Snow thinks are too far apart. Ygritte has a round face, crooked white teeth, small hands, and a pug nose. Ygritte by Anja Dalisa © See also: Images of Ygritte
