Asha Greyjoy is known as “Yara Greyjoy” in “Yara Greyjoy” game of Thrones. She is the daughter of Lord Balon Greyjoy and Lady Alanis Harold. Asha is Theon Greyjoy’s sister.Asha becomes a POV character in the book Crow’s feast, In the show, Yara first appears in “Land of Night”.
Theon Greyjoy continues to appear on screen in Winter is Coming. He was the youngest son of Balon Greyjoy of the Iron Islands. Following the Greyjoy Rebellion (known as the Greyjoy Rebellion), Theon was taken hostage by Lord Eddard Stark of Winterfell. He was well educated at Winterfell. He became friends with Eddard Stark’s eldest son, Robb Stark.
Asha and Theon are brother and sister. They are an atypical combination. Because of this, fans sometimes don’t believe that a brother and sister can be so mean to each other. Here are ten reasons why their relationship isn’t friendly.
Theon’s return
After Theon returns to the Iron Islands, Asha humiliates him. In The Nightlands, Theon is sent by Robb Stark as a diplomatic envoy to his father, Balon Greyjoy. When Theon arrives at Pike’s house, no one seems to care who he is. He has to pay someone to find him a horse.
In the books, Theon meets Asha, who poses in the House of Lords as the wife of a shipwright named Esgred. Asha begins flirting with Theon to learn his true nature. Later that night, Theon learns that Asha is indeed his sister. She occupies a place of honor alongside Lord Balon Greyjoy. Theon felt cheated and angry at the same time.
Theon was taken away by force
Both Asha and Balon Greyjoy seem to have forgotten that Theon Greyjoy was forcibly taken away as a child. Lord Eddard Stark did not want to be captured and forcibly took his youngest son as a hostage. There is no doubt that Theon was raised by the Starks as their own child, but he is a Greyjoy after all, and he did betray Robb Stark in the War of Five Kings. .
Regardless, before Theon betrays Robb, he returns to the Nightlands as Robb’s envoy. He was too excited to go home, but when Theon saw his father and sister, he felt hostile. Asha took every opportunity to humiliate him. She laughed at everything from his abilities to how he dressed.
Theon’s objections
Theon is jealous of his sister because Balon Greyjoy prefers Asha to him.exist game of Thrones, Theon spoke out against his father, saying Yara (Asha) was unfit to lead the attack. “So why not?” their father asked. “You’re a woman!” Theon replied. At first, Theon doesn’t understand how different things are on the Iron Islands.
Asha is a famous captain of the Iron Islands. She commands her fleet. Lord Balon Greyjoy says she took over Eddard Stark’s ship after he killed her older brother’s, and Theon learns that Asha was raised as heir to Pyke and the Iron Islands It was quite a shock growing up.
Power Rift
inside game of Thrones, power rifts are common. It’s not uncommon to devour a brother so blindly. Theon, prince of Winterfell and so-called heir to the Iron Islands, is one such example. Theon, knowing that no ironborn would rally to his side, spoke loudly:
“Let Asha keep the damned islands, they’re as dull as she is.”
Asha deserves the Salt Throne, but Theon doesn’t want her to have it. Right after Maester Luwin told Theon Greyjoy that he could escape Winterfell and take Black.
Attack on the Dreadfort
The attack on the Dreadfort is depicted in The Law of Gods and Men. Yara reads Ramsay Snow’s letter. It orders the ironborn to leave the North. The letter also records how Ramsay skinned twenty ironborn found at Winterfell. Yara is shocked to find her people skinned and Theon mutilated. She attacks the Dreadfort to rescue her brother.
It may be recalled that Theon was Ramsay Bolton’s prisoner since the sack of Winterfell. He was tortured and mutilated by Ramsay and his men while in captivity. Asha manages to infiltrate the castle and reach the kennels, where she sees Theon in his cage. Theon refuses to leave with Asha. She tried to remind him who he was, but it was all in vain. Theon bites Asha’s hand. The ironborn barely survived after Ramsay unleashed his dogs on them. In the end, Asha fled the Dreadfort, leaving the remaining ironborn exclaiming that her brother was dead. Despite this, Asha left Theon to rot in a kennel.
Theon is home
“Home” airs Theon and Sansa’s escape from Winterfell. Theon hands Sansa to Brienne of Tarth to make her safer. He asks her to leave and go home to the Iron Islands. It should be noted that Asha doesn’t care about her brother, not anymore after the attack on the Dreadfort, although she came to save him once. Asha saw what Ramsay did to Theon.
Theon returns to the Iron Islands in The Book of Strangers. When Theon confronts Yara, she reveals that he has been dead for a long time. Yara is delighted to have found her brother. She tells him how good people died trying to save him from Ramsay. This was not the emotional brother-sister reunion it was supposed to be.
asha feels betrayed
Yara was delighted to find Theon was back in the Iron Islands. In The Stranger Book, Theon walks up to her. Yara’s first question to Theon was: “He let you go?” “I ran away,” Theon answered. Yara finds it hard to believe that Theon will be at Pike River. She believes Theon has returned to claim the throne since their father’s death.
After what happened at Dreadfort, Yara felt betrayed. She doesn’t accept Theon’s apology. She just wants to know why Theon came back after his father died. “You happened to be on Pyke just before the kingcast?” Yara asked.
Euron’s Attack
Balon Greyjoy was murdered by his brother Euron Greyjoy. After seizing the Salt Throne, Euron launched an open attack on his niece and nephew Theon and Yara. In a turn of events, Euron Greyjoy attacks their ship in the middle of the night. The raid took place aboard the Stormbringer, and Euron killed dozens of the crew and damaged their ship.
Euron grabs Yara with an axe, and Theon does what he can. Theon looked around, saw his crew dismembered, and jumped into the water to escape.
Theon wants to fight for Winterfell
In A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, Theon leaves his sister behind to serve Sansa Stark. Asha still has a few ships left. Her situation was dire. Unable to sail her ships to the north, she sailed to the Iron Islands.
At this critical moment, Yara is left behind by Theon. She was the only one to take back the Iron Islands from Euron Greyjoy. When Theon told Daenerys Targaryen about this, the queen asked in surprise, “But why weren’t you with her?” Instead, Theon wanted to fight for Winterfell.
Asha sees Theon as a threat
Theon and Asha’s timelines will tell you that the former comes back again and again. To Asha, Theon was always a threat. Someone who would come back one day to usurp her. Even though their bond has grown stronger since escaping Euron, something is still not right.
Before setting off for Merlin, Yara takes Theon to a brothel. She does this despite knowing what Theon went through during Ramsay’s imprisonment. He obviously didn’t feel comfortable in the brothel. This is no place for him, the poor guy has been mutilated. Their relationship is still broken. After the events at the Dreadfort, Yara could no longer truly trust him.
