One day, while in delirium, after some drunken pondering, I've noticed some vague parallels between the Starks and the Forresters.

  • Lady Catelyn = Lady Forrester

  • Would do about anything to save her family.
  • Some suggest that she is the traitor, which only furthers the analogy.
  • Pretty batshit insane by some accounts.

Robb = Rodrik

  • Oldest son.
  • "Killed" at the Twins during the Red Wedding.
  • Meant to replace Gregor/Ned as Lord Forrester/Stark.

Sansa = Mira

  • Oldest daughter.
  • Also stuck in King's Landing with strong ties to the crown, being Margaery's handmaiden and all.
  • Considered by some to have one of the more boring story-lines.

Arya = Talia

  • Youngest daughter.
  • Was taught how to fight and defend herself.
  • Generally more masculine and dare I say sassy in habits than Mira.

Bran = Ethan

  • Mortally wounded by nobility.
  • Lawful young Lord of Ironrath, just as Bran was the lawful lord of Winterfell at such a young age.

Rickon = Ryon

  • Youngest son.

  • Held captive, and his whereabouts are pretty shady.

  • Jon = Asher

  • The prodigal son.
  • Dank wild girlfriend.

Or, if you're more into R+L=J:

  • Jon = Gared
  • Not related by blood, but equally as loved by Lord Gregor/Ned and Talia/Arya.
  • Night's Watch.
  • Jon himself lampshaded their similarities during one of their small talks.

Let me know if your deluded minds can add on to this stupid list.

    I don't see a lot of it tbh. Maybe it was because we never really got to know Robb's personality so I can't compare him to Rodrik, Jon doesn't remind me of Asher at all, and Mira has a much different life in King's Landing than Sansa did. Talia is too mellow compared to Arya for me. The only similarity I can somewhat see is Lady Forrester and Catelyn Stark, and that's barely. IMO of course

    I can see Malcolm as the Blackfish, Harys as Sandor Clegane and Gryff as Joffrey

    Vague you say? Excluding Asher it's more like a carbon copy.

    Gared is definitely Jon. Asher is closer to Arya than Gared, being a strike first worry later member of the family seperated from the others and in closer association with Essos than the others.

    You were trying too hard to find similarities for Bran/Ethan and Rickon/Ryon. They're not very much alike at all. The Forresters are not that similar to the Starks.

    Lady Forrester and Stark are both from the South too.
