==The She-Wolves==
The identity of the five "She-Wolves" has not been revealed yet. However, with the Stark lineage in ''[[The World of Ice and Fire]]'' their names can be deduced:
*{{coa|Royce|s}} Lady [[Lorra Royce]], the soon to be widow of Lord [[Beron Stark]].
*{{coa|Manderly|s}} Lady [[Myriame Manderly]], widow of Lord [[Rodwell Stark]] and Beron's sister-in-law.
*{{coa|Karstark|s}} Lady [[Alys Karstark (wife of Brandon)|Alys Karstark]], widow of Lord [[Brandon Stark (son of Cregan)|Brandon Stark]] and Beron's mother.
*{{coa|Ryswell|s}} Lady [[Robyn Ryswell]], widow of Lord [[Jonnel Stark]] and Beron's aunt by marriage.
*{{coa|Stark|s}} Lady [[Lynara Stark]], widow of Lord [[Cregan Stark]] and Beron's grandmother.

Moreover, four Stark women—[[Arsa Stark|Arsa]], [[Serena Stark|Serena]], and her daughters [[Arrana Stark|Arrana]] and [[Aregelle Stark|Aregelle]]—might be engaged to various degrees into the power struggle following Beron's injury even though they did not marry a [[Lord of Winterfell]].
