In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Lady Maege, also known as "the She-Bear", is is a stout grey haired woman and a fierce warrior. She dresses in mail and her favored weapon is a spiked mace. Catelyn Stark observes that Maege seems more at comfortable in armor than Brienne of Tarth ever did. According to her brother Jeor, she is stubborn, short-tempered, and willful. She worked hard to regain the family's noble name and recover from the state of near-poverty her nephew Jorah had left behind.

When Robb Stark calls his bannerman to march south after Eddard Stark's arrest and they start to test him due his youth, Maege tells Robb bluntly that he was young enough to be her grandson, and had no business giving her commands, but she had a granddaughter she would be willing to have him marry. Maege is more understanding of Catelyn Stark releasing Ser Jaime Lannister and Catelyn has grown fond of her. Maege does not attend the Red Wedding as along the way from Riverrun to the Twins Robb commands her and Galbart Glover to take men by seperate longship and sail through the marshes of the Neck to seek out Howland Reed. He gives them letters for the Northern lords, explaining the letters contain false orders, in case they are captured by the ironborn. It remains unresolved if Maege or Galbart Glover reached their destination.

Beyond her daughter Lyanna, Maege has four older daughters: Dacey, Alysane, Lyra and Jorelle.
