Oh, such an Eddard kind of Stark. It's so clear throughout your entire application that I'm having a hard time pinpointing examples! I could do my normal thing and tick off all the traits that fit best (but in this case, all of the traits you listed fit, so that's unhelpful!), or draw comparisons between your ideal home and Winterfell (too obvious), or talk about idealized notions of humanity (I would never stop), but, um... It's all of those things, but mostly it's the tone of the application. Perhaps what struck me most was the quiet sense of solitude with an interesting twist of solidarity to set it off. There's a very Ned-ly interest in justice without the wild emotions of vengeance that we see in Dany, and a desire for autonomy that is so Stark to me. I see that most in your first fear, which gives very much a sense of "OK, fine, kill me, but don't change who I am, don't turn me into part of you."
And now for a side comment: yes yes yes yes yes yes to practically everything in your dream ending. Sansa and Brienne and Gendry and Arya and Tommen and VARYS (the best), and yes.
