Biography[]

Game of Thrones: Season 7[]

At the Citadel, the Archmaesters discuss a raven they have received from Bran Stark warning of the Night King and his army marching of Eastwatch-by-the-Sea. Since Bran claimed to have seen this through warging, one of them compared this to Jenny's claim that she was descended from the Children of the Forest.[1]

Game of Thrones: Season 8[]

Shortly before the Battle of Winterfell, Podrick Payne sings "Jenny of Oldstones," a song composed in her honor.[2]

In the books[]

In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Jenny was the inspiration for many songs, which famously remember her "with flowers in her hair". Jenny was a very popular romantic figure in later songs for many a young maiden (like Sansa Stark).
