A/N: Okay, so I'm sure you guys are asking where's the new chapter or who puts an appendix in the middle of the story (talk about a contradiction). Those are fair questions, since I'm sure this wasn't the update you wanted, but I thought you guys might appreciate it b/c a) it's been a while since I updated and b) there's a lot of characters in this story, and this could help keep track/refresh your memory.
All that being said, I hope it's okay to post this.
To those disappointed, I plan to update The Red Reign next week. I repeat the next chapter will be coming next week. Thanks for the support and your patience.

-Colmar is considered a possible suitor* to Arya Stark (but he crushes on Jeyne Poole)
*The Freys incorrectly presume the betrothal is agreed. The truth is: it is an offer that the Starks can consider and/or dismiss. (That pesky unreliable narrator and Outsider POV is at it again)
Sansa Bolton has featured in the following chapters:
3: Sansa, 7: Sansa, 12: Sansa, 2: Colmar, 9: Sam, 13: Sam
The Headache that is the Freys at Winterfell:
Colmar Frey is Walder Frey, Lord of the Twins twentieth son, his mother Lady Annara Farring.
Arwyn Frey is Walder Frey, Lord of the Twins six daughter, her mother is Lady Annara Farring
Which means Colmar and Arwyn are full siblings. Arwyn is the older sister
Shirei Frey is Walder Frey, Lord of the Twins seventh daughter, her mother is Lady Annara
Shirei Frey is Colmar and Arywn's youngest sister.
"Fat" Walda Frey is the daughter of Merret Frey, Walder Frey, Lord of the Twins granddaughter
Marissa Frey is the daughter of Merret Frey, Walder Frey, Lord of the Twins granddaughter
Which means Fat Walda Frey and Marrisa Frey are full siblings. Walda is the older sister
"Little" Walder Frey is the son of Merret Frey, Walder Frey, Lord of the Twins, grandson
"Little" Walder is "Fat" Walda and Marrisa's full brother, he is the youngest of the three of them.
Frey Recap:
Arwyn Frey, a beautiful maiden with dark hair, striking green eyes, bears little resemblance to her siblings, is very protective of Shirei, serving as a mother to her since theirs died years ago.
Marrisa Frey, a maiden, has light hair and kind eyes
Shirei Frey, a girl of six
Walda Frey, a maiden, "Buxom" with blonde hair
Missing Freys: AKA: I thought I remembered them being mentioned earlier…
Roslin Frey betrothed to Edmure Tully
"Fair" Walda Frey married to a knight in service of Lord Mallister.
Amerei Frey was discreetly left behind and married off.**
"Big" Walder Frey didn't make the trip to Winterfell**
**Meta explanation is I decided not to continue including either of them for the north plot
(If I'm missing any please let me know. This was such a headache)
