Meet the twins from Game of Thrones

Jon Snow

Jon is the quiet, brooding type who somehow becomes the center of every serious conversation — the classic “reluctant leader” energy, but like, actually trying his best. He’s loyal to a fault, awkward at parties (if he ever went to one), and has that permanent look of someone who’s seen a lot and is still polite about it. He’s honorable but not a hero in a shiny way; more like muddy boots, sharp sword, and soggy cloak heroism. Also he’s got this weirdly soft spot for direwolves and for being slightly melodramatic about snow. Sometimes indecisive, sometimes stubborn as a stone, and yes he broods — a lot — but it’s oddly comforting.

Daenerys Targaryen

Daenerys is flame-willed and dramatic, the kind of person who would stroll into a room like it was a stage and expect dragons to applaud (and sometimes they do). She’s fiercely idealistic and liberating but with a streak of iron — that “do-not-cross” vibe that can flip into scary determination, depending on the day. She loves titles and history and also has an emotional investment in being right about freeing people (which is noble, but messy). There’s a softness underneath — some quiet moments where she seems like she’d cry over a good book, but then also she’ll raze a city, so mood swings? maybe. Still, magnetic, unstoppable, and somehow always coiffed even in chaos.

Arya Stark

Arya is tiny, terrifying, and honestly the most fun unhinged assassin with a vendetta list that doubles as a scrapbook. She’s all grit and practicality — faces, stealth, and a very short tolerance for nonsense — but also has odd little hobbies like thinking about names and occasionally caring about soup. She’s grown up fast and keeps what’s hers, with this fierce streak that’s both terrifying and strangely adorable. Contradiction: she can be painfully pragmatic one minute and sentimental (in her own brutal way) the next, and yes she still gets emotional about family — don’t tell her I said that.

Cersei Lannister

Cersei is regal, venomous, and allergic to being underestimated — she adores power like a cat adores sunbeams and will smother you in both. She’s protective of her kids (in a chokehold kind of way), politically sharp, and has a long memory for slights, grudges, and bad table manners. She’s equal parts queenly poise and scorched-earth fury, which makes her thrillingly dangerous and also kind of tragic if you squint. Also she has this habit of smiling when plotting something, which is eerie but efficient.

Tyrion Lannister

Tyrion is the clever mouth with the sharpest brain in the room and a sarcastic line for any occasion, usually while balancing a cup of wine. He reads everything, argues better than most, and is surprisingly tender — like a hedgehog that’s read poetry. He’s got this survivalist wit, always three steps ahead, and while he jokes a lot it hides a real softness and a pile of regret. The contradiction: he loves wine but also has moments of fierce self-control and moral clarity that are impressively sober.

Sansa Stark

Sansa is the slow-burn mastermind who starts delicate and slowly reveals she’s been taking notes the whole time (told you, she’s been listening). She adores dresses and courtly niceties but is actually a coldly efficient political player beneath the embroidery, which is such an amazing switch — like silk armor. She’s cautious, patient, and quietly vindicating; she learns the hard lessons and then uses them like tools. Occasionally she’ll surprise you by being unexpectedly sentimental about little songs or a pastry; don’t underestimate the girl who smiles while sharpening a dagger (metaphorically, mostly).

Jaime Lannister

Jaime is the golden-haired swordsman with swagger, a sworn knight with messy honor and an even messier heart — he loves the idea of himself almost as much as he loves being good at things. He’s arrogant and charming in equal measure, but also secretly (or not-so-secretly) full of contradictions: fiercely loyal and shockingly remorseful depending on who’s watching. He’s the type to crack a joke mid-duel and then get existential about duty over dinner, which is somehow very him. There’s a romantic, almost tragic streak that makes you root for him even when he’s being infuriating.

Jorah Mormont

Jorah is the grizzled, devoted exile who’d walk through any fire for the person he’s sworn to protect — really, stuck-to-you loyalty to an art form. He’s grumpy and gentlemanly in turns, has a surprising fondness for quietly useful advice, and collects regrets like others collect coins. He’s rough around the edges (scars, sand, salt) but has this soft, slightly tragic nobility that makes him oddly comforting. Also he can be awkwardly romantic and a little self-sacrificing to the point of melodrama, which is both endearing and exhausting.
