Kienna Tellis has had a difficult childhood. Her family was wiped out when she was 11 and she was sent to live with the Starks of Winterfell. The Starks raised her among their own children and she soon began to feel accustomed to her life in the North. However, when the King rides North for Winterfell Kienna's life will be turned upside down along with the rest of the Starks.

She is the favourite of her father but is treated terribly by her mother so her father sends her off to live with the Starks but there are a lot of things nobody knows not even her bethrothed Robb Stark knows about the Princess Alys Baratheon but one person and one person only knows and that is Eddard Stark's bastard son Jon Snow
