Character Analysis
(Avoiding Spoilers)
Living... a life of nobility in the Kingdom of Winterfell with his siblings and their parents, Lady Catelyn and Lord Eddard Stark. When King Robert Baratheon visits their family, Bran climbs a castle wall and accidentally catches the Queen having sex with her twin brother, Jaime, who promptly pushes young Bran out the window to plunge to his presumed death.
Profession... recovering from his injuries as he gains strange new powers. Before his fall, Bran started training under his father to learn fighting skills. Now he is left without the use of his legs, but with the ability to have mysterious, possibly prophetic dreams about a three-eyed raven.
Interests… riding horses on a saddle made especially for him to overcome his disability, being carried around by his stablehand Hodor, and taking over the consciousness of his direwolf Summer after learning he has the powers of a warg. (Meaning he can inhabit the mind of an animal.) Just being a normal kid in Winterfell, basically.
Relationship Status... single, mostly because he's just a kid. He has a lot of other things on his mind, like those raven dreams. Plus, what he saw Queen Cersei and her brother Jaime doing in the castle might have screwed up his brain for life when it comes to romance.
Challenge... uncovering the mysteries of his dreams. He meets another boy who shares similar powers named Jojen Reed. The two explore the world of dreams together, chasing the three-eyed raven and hoping to learn more about what the dreams mean for their futures.
Personality... strong, resilient, and curious. His life changed forever when he decided to explore a forbidden castle, and now he has no choice but to continue to explore the strange, supernatural consequences of that decision. Jojen tells him, "We've come a long way to find you, Brandon, and we have much farther to go." Bran can be scared as he investigates the road ahead, but he's brave enough to overcome that fear.

Long ago, in a time forgotten, a preternatural event threw the seasons out of balance. In a land where summers can last decades and winters a lifetime, trouble is brewing. The cold is returning, and in the frozen wastes to the north of Winterfell, sinister forces are massing beyond the kingdom's protective Wall. To the south, the king's powers are failing—his most trusted adviser dead under mysterious circumstances and his enemies emerging from the shadows of the throne. At the center of the conflict lie the Starks of Winterfell, a family as harsh and unyielding as the frozen land they were born to. Now Lord Eddard Stark is reluctantly summoned to serve as the king's new Hand, an appointment that threatens to sunder not only his family but the kingdom itself. Amid plots and counter-plots, tragedy and betrayal, victory and terror, allies and enemies, the fate of the Starks hangs perilously in the balance, as each side endeavors to win that deadliest of conflicts: the game of thrones.
