A New Hope (Books I - VI)

Book V - A Bird Without Wings

Alright! Next book is Brandon Stark and Elsie Snow! Obviously they are still really young, so prepare for a very, very, very slow burn! Also, this book is only going to be two chapters, sorry, but I mean Bran spends most of this season conked out or laying in bed sooo... Description below:

Brandon Stark is the second true born son of Eddard Stark. He is an eight year old boy who dreams of becoming a knight and possibly being a Kingsguard one day. He loves to climb and has never fallen, even during the snowstorm on his sixth birthday when he climbed to the top of the Broken Tower and tried to see if he could see anything but white (he couldn't). His best friend is the daughter of the horse master, her name is Elsie, and she is almost as good a climber as him, but twice a better rider. They have been best friends for as long as Bran can remember, and she goes with him everywhere. Including his lessons, which his mother hates, but Maester Luwin doesn't mind, he says that she is the most brilliant student he has ever had, and more often than not she helps Bran understand what is going on, since he daydreams during his lessons. 

Elsie Snow is the bastard daughter of the Stark's horse master. Her father, Horse Master Hullen, never married and had all five of his children by whores from Mole's town. Harwin is Elsie's eldest brother, he is a guardsman in the Stark household. Joseph is their father's apprentice and will take over as master of horse when their father dies. And Elsie's two elder sisters are Bandy and Shyra who are twins and work as scullery maids in the kitchens of Winterfell. Elsie loves horses, and she loves history, especially when she gets to teach it to Bran. At the young age of six she is not expected to do much around the house so she is free to play with Bran all day long, and there is nothing she would rather do.
