        I'd put Dany there, too. She's not interested in following the laws of the land. Especially in Westeros. -- nm - Inigo Jun 8, 08:42
        
        minor comments - Roger More Jun 8, 08:33
        
        it would be fun to do it by season to see if anyone has changed over time from where they started -- nm - Beaker Jun 8, 08:28 4
        
        Jamie and Arya for sure. -- nm - Reagen Jun 8, 08:29 3
        
        Tyrion would have started out as TN. -- nm - Reagen Jun 8, 08:42 2

        Wha? Brienne is LG. I agree with the rest, though. -- (edited) - Inigo Jun 8, 08:27

        I agree on Jamie. - groiny Jun 8, 08:33
        
        My reasoning on Brienne - Reagen Jun 8, 08:28 6
        
        Out of curiosity, have you read the books? Are you framing your answers in that manner or based only on TV? -- nm - David Jun 8, 08:31 4
        
        Yes, but this is mostly TV-based - Reagen Jun 8, 08:33 3
        
        I just haven't seen a single thing from Brienne that smacks of neutrality. - David Jun 8, 08:35 2
