"We both loved our mother. We both endured our father."
―Yara Greyjoy[src]

Alannys Greyjoy is an unseen character in Game of Thrones.

Biography

Background

Alannys Greyjoy is the wife of Balon Greyjoy, Head of House Greyjoy and the Lord Reaper of Pyke. They had four children Rodrik, Maron, Yara, and Theon. Only her daughter Yara and her youngest son Theon are still alive. Alannys was born into House Harlaw.[1]

Her two eldest sons were killed in the Greyjoy rebellion and her youngest son was taken hostage to ensure the peace. Ned Stark offer to raise him as his ward in Winterfell.

Season 2

Alannys is not present when Theon returns to Pyke on a mission to create an alliance between his father and Robb Stark.[2]

When Yara is pleading with Theon to abandon his seige of Winterfell to return to Pyke, she says they are connected as they both loved their mother. The mention of Alannys makes Theon upset and look away.[3]

In the books

In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, her marriage to Lord Balon Greyjoy and the children they had remains the same except Yara is named Asha. She is the younger sister of Lord Rodrik Harlaw, known as Rodrik the Reader. The Harlaws are one of the only Iron Islands families that rivals the Greyjoys in strength and influence.

Alannys was devastated by Theon being taken hostage and the deaths of her two eldest sons in the Greyjoy Rebellion, and begins wandering the halls at night shrieking out their names. She leaves Pyke to retire to the Ten Towers, her family's seat on the island of Harlaw. Thus she is not present at Pyke when Theon returns to see his father. Asha briefly visits her mother before leaving to conquer Deepwood Motte in her part in Balon's invasion of the North. During the visit Alannys constantly asks about Theon who she thinks of as perpetually 10-year-old. Asha feels she no longer knows her mother though she is kind to her and answers her questions patiently.

Alannys has long white hair and a strong face.
