Biography[]
Early Life[]
When she was twenty-seven years old, Jude married the man of her dreams, Robert Stark. At first, their marriage seemed perfect as they even bought their own small house together. One day, during a candlelit homemade meal, Robert received a call from the hospital; telling him that a woman he got pregnant died after giving birth to her son, James Snow. He decided to keep this a secret from Jude at first. However, after deciding it'd be better for the child to be with a loving family, he told Jude the truth about his affair and child. Jude was distraught after first hearing the news and she even smashed some furniture. After managing to compose herself, she forbade Robert from naming the child "James Stark", insisting it have the name of it's "whore mother"; "Snow". After a while of looking after the child, Jude was left home alone with it, so she took the opportunity to scratch its cheek with her nail. ("The Bastard")
