Jon Snow

determined but conflicted. Jon learned a sense of honor and nobility from his father, but absorbed shame and self-doubt from his stepmother. But Tyrion Lannister tells him of his status as a bastard, “Never forget what you are. The rest of the world will not. Wear it like armor, and it can never be used to hurt you.” Jon takes the advice to heart. While he’s young, Jon has the makings of a traditional hero – brave, charismatic, and resourceful. He just needs to live long enough to truly make something of himself.

Jon is described as having strong Stark features with a lean build, long face, dark brown hair, and dark grey eyes. Jon has the surname "Snow" (customarily used for illegitimate noble children in the North) and is resented by Ned's wife Catelyn, who views him as a constant reminder of Ned's infidelity.
