  • Jon Snow's Childhood : Growing up in Winterfell wasn't all easy for Jon. Few men take their bastard sons into their home like Eddard did, and Jon continues to be a point of contention between Catelyn and Ned right up until he leaves Winterfell for good, and takes his vows as a brother of the Night's Watch.
    Jon is greatly influenced by his uncle Benjen, who served as a role model to Jon since a young age. When Jon told him that he wished to be a 'Ranger' for the Watch, Benjen took him back to the Wall for his initiation. Instead of finding the Watch populated by men of high caliber, he found that it was instead, run down and largely in disrepair and staffed by ex-cons and criminals with no other option. Among these folk, he was the best trained, which earned him resentment among his new peers. Eventually, he established amicable relationships with most of his compatriots, with the exception of Ser Allister Thorne, who mockingly dubs him "Lord Snow.

  • Stark's Blood : Jon Snow is the bastard son of the late Eddard Stark and an unknown woman, referred only to as Wylla. Jon grew up living a fairly noble life, raised among the other Stark children at Winterfell, taught to fight and ride, as well as behave properly at court. Like Eddard and the other Stark boys, Jon was raised to believe in the Old Gods, rather than the 'Seven' that the Southerners pray to.Jon was raised as a Stark and Northerner and in many ways took to their values of honor, to which he tries to conform even when faced with complex and morally ambiguous decisions. Jon always had issues with his bastardy and at time feels alienated; he eventually chose to join the Night's Watch, where the circumstances of his birth were of little importance; his decision also mean that he has to leave all bonds of the past behind. For a long time he struggles with this but gradually comes to understand what it means to be a black brother and fully accepts his role as such.Even at age fourteen, Jon is said to have more Stark-like features than any of his siblings. He has a lean build and a long face, with dark brown hair and grey eyes.. After joining the Night's Watch he dresses in their official black garb.
