Walda Bolton, née Frey, better known as Fat Walda, is an unseen character in the third season. She is the new wife of Roose Bolton, the Lord of the Dreadfort.

Background
Walda Frey is a granddaughter of Lord Walder Frey.

Season 3
During the wedding feast of Edmure Tully and Roslin Frey, Lord Bolton recounts to Catelyn Stark and Ser Brynden "Blackfish" Tully how Lord Walder Frey proposed him to marry one of his granddaughters and offered her weight in silver as dowry. Lord Bolton then adds he chose the fattest bride available and she has made him very rich.

In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Fat Walda is the second of three daughters of Ser Merret Frey and Mariya Darry. Ser Merret is himself the ninth son of Lord Walder. She is known for her gluttony, hence her nickname. She is described as a round pink butterball of a girl, with watery eyes, a huge bosom and limp yellow hair. Her voice is thin and squeaky. She is fifteen years old.

Fat Walda attends the Red Wedding and sits next to Catelyn Stark. It is Fat Walda who tells Ser Wendel Manderly, while Catelyn overhears, about her grandfather's dowry offer to Lord Bolton. She is one of the many Frey girls that King Robb Stark politely dances with during the festivities.
