Osha

Knowledge dismissed

Contains spoilers through A Dance with Dragons. Television events and unfinished preview chapters are outside this collection.

The character in context

Osha flees dangers beyond the Wall and becomes a captive at Winterfell after a failed attack on Bran. Her knowledge of the Others and the old gods is often dismissed, yet she gains the children’s trust. Under ironborn occupation she feigns submission to Theon and helps hide the children in the crypts. After the sack she leaves with Rickon. Later testimony gives Davos a trail to follow, but the five novels do not depict her death.
