🐺 Harumi Stark was born minutes before her twin, and in the North, minutes can decide destinies.
As the eldest child of Eddard Stark, Rumi is named heir to Winterfell, a quiet shadow beside Robb's fire, a watcher rather than a speaker. Where her siblings burn bright, she listens. Where others rush, she endures. Her silence is mistaken for weakness, her patience for pliability.
To secure alliances, she is forced into a marriage she never wanted, wed not as a woman but as a prize. Her husband does not want her heart, only her name, her title, her birthright. Behind closed doors, Winterfell's future bleeds quietly.
Ned Stark knows the truth. Rumi was always his favorite, not for her strength of arm or sharpness of tongue, but for the way she carries the North within her bones. When he is gone, the weight of that love becomes both shield and curse.
When the cruelty becomes unbearable and the wolves begin to stir, Robb Stark rides south not just as a king, but as a brother. The North remembers, and so does blood.
This is a story of quiet endurance, broken vows, and the fury of a wolf who refuses to let his sister be devoured by monsters wearing crowns. 🌑🩸
🗡️She was the firstborn.
The silent wolf.
And when they tried to break her, the North answered. 🐺❄️🔥
