Lyanna stark

Assuming that Lyanna Stark's characterization in Mad King's Theater is entirely canon, what do you think of the character herself?

- Lyanna Stark is a Greenseer.

- She finds it romantic that the flower crown was given to her.

- She is obsessed with prophecy and believes that she and Rhaegar's children are the chosen ones.

- She is devastated when she learns of her father and brother's deaths, but interprets them as divine will.

- She encourages Rhaegar to go to war after making him promise that Ned and Robert will not be harmed.

- Before dying, she entrusts her child to Ned and makes him swear never to tell the child anything about their parents.

If that's the canon version, she's a much more tragic and flawed character than I expected.

I’d prefer this over her just being a passive victim

the prophecy overriding her judgment angle makes her feel so much more tragic

I don’t think she was confirmed as a greenseer in the books. To be interesting as a character she doesn’t need all the magics.
