Meera Reed
Jojen's elder sister, a fierce and capable young crannogwoman handy with net and frog-spear, sworn to see her brother's visions through.
A soul born at Greywater Watch, sworn to House Reed.
The fuller tale
Season Three
Jojen's older sister and the practical half of the partnership, a crannogwoman who fights with a net and a three-pronged frog spear and treats her brother's green dreams as a compass rather than a gospel. She and Jojen find Bran's party in the haunted forest, already looking for him before he knows he needs finding, and fall in with the group heading toward the Wall. At Queenscrown, she puts a wildling raider down in the dark with a spear-throw that leaves no doubt about what she is for — not company, protection.
Season Four
Craster's Keep goes from unpleasant to lethal once Karl Tanner's mutineers get their hands on the group, and Meera is the one they corner — Hodor breaks his ropes and the moment before he starts killing men is the moment she understands what Bran can do with him. North at the cave under the weirwood, wights come up out of the snow in a swarm and she fights at Leaf's shoulder with fire and obsidian, but it is Jojen who does not get up afterward. She carries her brother's death into the cave along with Bran, and neither of them says much once they are inside.
Season Six
Years pass inside the cave watching Bran vanish further into his visions while she keeps the fire going and waits for a purpose that keeps not arriving. When the Night King's army finds the weirwood, purpose arrives all at once: the Three-Eyed Raven and Summer and Leaf all die buying seconds, Hodor holds a door that cannot be held forever, and Meera is the one left to drag Bran through the snow on a sled, alone, half-frozen, with the dead somewhere behind her. She does not stop pulling until a rider she has never met finds them and does not ask permission before taking over.
Season Seven
The long drag ends at Winterfell, and so, not long after, does Meera's part in Bran's story. She delivers him through the gate half-dead and gets Maester's care instead of gratitude, and when she finally says what she has been carrying since the cave — that she gave up everything, that Jojen is dead, and that the boy in front of her is barely there to hear any of it — Bran's answer confirms exactly what she feared before she leaves for Greywater Watch, to go home to a family that still knows her name.
How it ends for them
The chronicle records no death for this soul — they are living when the tale leaves them, or their ending is a page the maesters have yet to turn.

Where the page and the screen part
Book Meera is still in the greenseer's cave, brother beside her, her story paused mid-journey; everything the show gave her after — the escape, Hodor's door, the long haul south, the cold farewell from a transfigured Bran — is unwritten on the page. The books braid her deeper into the backstory instead: the Knight of the Laughing Tree tale she tells Bran stars her own father at Harrenhal, and fandom has long noted that Howland Reed is the sole living witness of the tower of joy — making the Reed children, in some theories, keepers of secrets even they may not know they hold. The show quietly dropped every strand of that, along with a fan-favorite theory or two about Meera's own parentage that the books have never dignified with confirmation.
Their journey
Where the two tellings send them to the same place the road runs whole; where they part, the screen keeps the left and the books the right.
