Cersei Lannister grew up in a world where power was everything. Her father, Tywin, was a brilliant strategist but emotionally cold. He taught her that weakness is a liability. Losing her mother shaped her into a fierce protector, longing for love she never truly felt. As a child, she adored her twin brother, Jaime, but the fear of betrayal haunted her. When he became distant, so did her trust. In the face of a loveless marriage to King Robert Baratheon, Cersei found solace in her children. Each birth was a chance for her to mold the future, but the kingdom's chaos made her desperate. Ambition coursed through her veins. She learned to manipulate, to scheme. It was survival in a brutal game. Joffrey's cruelty became a tool for her, a reflection of her own struggles for control.

As a boy Jaime was an average good noble man, not a great hero, but not a cruel one as well. but he was easily manipulated by his twin sister Cersei, who ruled his mind and took advantage of his infatuation to her to get what she wanted. His mentors were Ser Arthur Dayne and Ser Gerold Hightower, the Lord Commander of Aerys's Kingsguard. Ser Addam Marbrand, one of Tywin's chief knights, is an old close childhood friend of Jaime. Spending so many years living in the corrupted King's Landing of King Robert Baratheon, changed Jaime into a more villainous individual. At first glance, outsiders perceives Jaime to be arrogant, evil, and sarcastic. To a large extent he is arrogant about his own abilities, but not without cause. Even his enemies admit that he is arguably the greatest living swordsman in Westeros with few able to match him. Jaime does not mock others over minor insults the way Cersei does, and he can muster up polite behavior, but he is usually very blunt. Much like his brother Tyrion, he typically just says what he is thinking, and has no reservations about mocking those he perceives as incompetent. Tywin Lannister has raised Jaime on the basis of ruthlessness as a virtue. Jaime became disillusioned with ideals of honor and loyalty when he saw firsthand the atrocities committed by the Mad King, how other honorable members of the Kingsguard stood by and did nothing while King Aerys had people burned alive for imagined insults, bc they felt bound by vows of faith and fealty. Jaime does not maintain any pretense of being a "good" or honorable man, as he has become apathetic to such concerns. Political maneuvering is not his way, and he sees himself foremost as a soldier who when confronted with a problem takes out his sword and cuts its head off. Jaime is the only member of Tyrion's immediate family (the main Lannister branch) who ever treated him with respect or kindness. In fact, he admires Tyrion's intellect and his ability to tell off those who insult him
