agentofssr: Awesome Westerosi Characters You Don’t Know Because You Only Watch Game of Thrones: #8 Genna Lannister Here’s something most Lannisters seem to posses: sassiness. Case in point: Genna Lannister. She is Tywin Lannister’s sister. When she was younger, her father agreed to marry her to Emmon Frey (yes, one of those Freys). It was a poor match and only Tywin spoke out against it. She always loved him for that. Emmon and Genna did get married. They have four sons but Genna is clearly the one running the show. Like her niece, Cersei Lannister, no one ever calls her by her married name.She’s like Cersei in another respect too: there are rumors her husband is not the father of her children. But then, Genna hasn’t murdered any bastards that we know of, so she’s a better person in that regard. She also seems happier and more fun to be around. Her husband is often the butt of her jokes. Genna is noted for being a shrewd examiner of people’s personalities. She knew Tywin could be hard but deeply mourns his passing. She knows House Lannister will be adrift without him, and when Jaime suggests that Tywin “had a son” she famously replies that Jaime is not like Tywin adding, “Tyrion is Tywin’s son, not you. I said so once to your father’s face, and he would not speak to me for half a year.“ Making her one of the few members of House Lannister to recognize Tyrion’s political abilities and consider him a worthy heir to Tywin despite his deformities. She also utters the quote that I might get tattooed on my person, “Men are such thundering great fools.” Other Awesome ASOIAF characters Image of Lady Genna by Felicia Cano for Fantasy Flight Games Great character but not the way I pictured here lol -- source link
