Ygritte is a spearwife of the Free Folk who live north of the Wall and a member of Mance Rayder's army. Quick-witted, fierce and a skilled archer, she prizes her freedom and dismisses those south of the Wall as "kneelers" who blindly follow hereditary lords.
Captured by and later the lover of Jon Snow, Ygritte becomes one of the most memorable wildlings of the series, embodying the Free Folk's independence and their shared descent with the Northerners from the First Men. This overview summarizes her character; the Timeline covers her role in the conflict at the Wall.
