As the years past, and Ashara grew into a young women, Lord Stark kept his faith in his promise in Ashara, though she had no idea of the letter. Everytime Ned was with her he was reminded of lines from the letter;
Keep her safe and train her well.
She can free the folk of all.
He trained her to the best of his abilities in sword weilding, archery, and horse riding. She was skilled in all and could take any of the Stark boys.
She was a distant member of the household. She was usually not invited to dinner, thanks to Catelyn Stark, she didn't want her younger children influenced by her rebelious and wild behaviour. she had no place at the table at all. Ashara would eat out in the courtyard, in her chambers, or any place she had only to herself. Ned had tried to convince Catelyn many times, but it was no use, she simply refused.
Most times Ashara thought of Ned as her father, but she figured out on her own that she wasn't, she wasn't a Stark though she wished many times. She was a Arii bastard, but to who, no one knew. Family and house unknown, lonley, abadonded. Though at Winterfell she felt at home, the castle with it's rough stone walls and fire ablaze in every room. It was all she knew, it was home.
The times she loved most was with her apoted siblings. Robb, Sansa, Arya, Bran, Rickon, and Ned's bastard son, Jon Snow. They were all special and dear to her in a very different way. She got along most with Robb, Jon and Arya. Robb was always there to talk to and was a great listener, Jon was a great sword partner and teased her about not being a boy, and Arya was a wild reblious child just like her. Arya was always fascinated with her stories on kings and kingdoms of the past, the age of heros. She always asked many questions and was happy to drop her work just to hear a story. Then there was Theon the Greyjoy, who always wanted to see her beat Robb or Jon in a sowrd fight or an archery duel.
Life was grand for Ashara Arii.
