Lord knows where whores go… but a traumatized young girl might end up in Oldtown, where she’ll find refuge with a little person who reminds her of her lost love, and do her best to raise the babies she nicknames after coins. Jaime told you, and you forgot in favor of dwelling on what your dad said instead. “Where do whores go?” There’s your problem, Tyrion. They’re red herrings, for the simple fact that Tysha wasn’t a whore. I’d bet any money on her singing “Seasons of My Love”, after, all sweet and romantic… and then Tyrion will come to the right conclusions and totally flip out.Īnd yes, I know about the the whore Lanna at the Peach, and the Sailor’s Wife and her daughter Lanna in Braavos. She acts immature because she is.) The question is when will Tyrion figure this out… and knowing GRRM, knowing Lannisters, I’m guessing probably after it’s gone too far with the girl. I think she’s probably quite a bit younger, closer to 13. He wants his family to die and his wife back.Ĭonsidering Penny’s mother was not a little person, who used to sing to her and her brother, and who is dead, I don’t think Tyrion’s getting his wife back.

And while it’s true there may lie redemption along the way with Penny, I don’t think Tyrion wants redemption. Tyrion, after having endured being called a monster, is now acting the part. I honestly don’t see him going out of his way to do that much longer, especially once the fighting starts. He loathes her, even as he tries to save her. She also serves as an easy way to show how far Tyrion has fallen, morally speaking. True, in A Game of Thrones he says he’d likely have been left to die if he was a commoner, but that’s really all he thinks on the subject. She shows Tyrion how, even though he’s felt mistreated his whole life for being a dwarf, he had it pretty well. I think Penny is a plot device in character form, really. Croclock asked: gaah tyrion X penny creeps the hell outta me! plus, don’t you find her annoying? although that kinda seems like the whole point… but at times during the book i found myself wondering if she was really necessary, if her characer actually added anything… how do you feel about her if i might ask?
