Much more handsome than his brothers and his father, Jon was beloved by many of the people in Long Garden. Lots of the noble ladies fancied him as their suitor, and when he was 15 and in a drunken blackout, two of his darlings ended up having at fist fight over him because he had promised to go to a masquerade with each of them. After getting clean, he withdrew from society, fearing that he would fall off the wagon (because many of the ladies were annoying and he had to take drugs to survive a night in their company). Being off drugs, he managed to shave every day and looked even more handsome

Personal history
Jon Sprinklage is the second born son and third child of Peter Sprinklage and Sansa Sprinklage . Jon had quite a lonely childhood in Long Garden , despite being surrounded by servants that took care of his every need. His mother was not particularly affectionate and ignored him for the most part, favoring his siblings and her money. His father would beat him and berate him for his kind nature, in an attempt to make him tougher and more like a 'real Sprinklage man' - cruel to servants and animals. His closest familial relationships were with his sister, Ollena Sprinklage and his uncle, Yacob Sprinklage.
In the year 1461, Jon objected to the Festival of the Louie's on account of its cruelness towards the servants of Long Garden. As a result, his father sent him to Eastwoods school for boys early in an attempt to toughen him up. Although he didn't like some of the customs in Eastwood, he enjoyed finally having friends, notably Hugo le Blanc, Theo Dupont and Maxime du Maurier. Jon was an excellent student and aced all of his exams, taking his graduating exams six years early, instead of going on to study at the ancient, small, and extremely exclusive university in Highgarden, Jon chose to remain at Eastwoods school for boys to be with his friends.
On the eve of his 13th birthday, Jon and ten of his friends decided to sneak out of Eastwood to party in Long Garden . Unfortunately however, they ran into the extremely rare Elken bear in the (very stupidly named) The forgotten forest. Jon was among only few who survived; two of his best friends, Hugo and Theo, were killed.
After his friends' deaths, Jon became depressed for a couple of years and Sansa Sprinklage decided to send him to university to get him back on track. this did not work and he only just managed to graduate at sixteen. He and his best friend Maxime had developed survivors guilt, and both became alcoholics. They took many recreational drugs and frequented the bars in Tyrell. Jon had many romantic relationships, notably with Dayanna Dupont (known for being a drug addict and being the ex-wife of Magic Mike), Estelle Comtois (a witch of moderate power, suspected of following the The Forgotten Religions of Sprinklage) and Aurelia Tyrell-Sprinklage (a VERY distant cousin from a legitimized bastard line of Sprinklage, also one of the two surviving people of the Tyrell House). He found these three women annoying to be around when he was sober, so enjoyed spending time with them because it meant he could be drunk and high all of the time. Jon is remembered by residents of Tyrell for nearly dying
Jon had various illegitimate children in these years. His eldest child, Odette Fitzroy, was born to Estelle Comtois, who enjoyed the fame that she received in Long Garden as a result. She developed a close relationship with Sansa Sprinklage , who helped raise Odette in the Sprinklage court. Aurelia Tyrell-Sprinklage was an unpopular figure in Long Garden because of the influence she had over her uncle, Peter VII Sprinklage and Jon "the risen" Sprinklage. When she gave birth to an illegitimate daughter of Jon's, there was a revolt among the nobility, and even Peter was angered by her - upon the discovery she had been having a relationship with his son. As a result, she was banished from Long Garden and returned to her family's seat in Tyrell - her daughter, Aurelie Fitzroy, remained in Long Garden and was raised by Sansa Sprinklage .
For 6 months when he was 17, Jon went off drugs and booze and started a commune in the outskirts of Tyrell , with his then girlfriend, Camille Benoit. He ended up falling off the wagon, however, and returned to Long Garden. Soon after this he heard that Camille had given birth to twins.
My dearest Jon, I send this letter to you from Tyrell. I have finally given birth, a boy and a girl. I have named your son Jon, and our daughter Cecile - I hope these names are suitable. My reason for writing to you is this: the matter of the children's legitimacy is a matter I do not suppose to understand or wish to, so I seek your guidance in this matter. Lovingly, Camille.Truthfully, he had completely forgotten she was pregnant and would have been content not knowing. Hearing of their births, however, he sent word to Camille that the children would remain in the commune to remain safe from the machinations from his family and the dangers of Pentos. The children, like their sisters, would take the name Fitzroy. Earlier the same year, Jon's ex-girlfriend, Dayanna Dupont, gave birth to a daughter who was never named. This child went on to be traded to Lewis Sand in return for the Sprinklage Gazzarite Steel hoe, she was named Ciad II. Maxime du Maurier eventually decided to move on and decided to start painting to cope with his grief and trauma. Though Maxime and Jon were still friends, Maxime couldn't spend much time around him on account of his behaviour. Jon's older siblings (Ollena Sprinklage and Sips Sprinklage) ) would sometimes nickname him Jon the Junkie, a nickname that stuck with many people in Long Garden until Jon's accidental death. Finally, even Lord Peter Sprinklage decided to intervene and Jon was locked in the catacombs for a few weeks, going completely cold turkey. After three weeks of no wine or ale, little food, and no partying, Lord Allard decided to let him out. Jon was, however, still inebriated on account of the amount of drugs and alcohol he had consumed and had to be locked away for another few weeks. When he was finally released, he had sobered up, though his mother noted he:
wasn't the same happy boy he had been and it was disconcerting to see such a marked change in himPeter was proud of the new person Jon had become: he was dedicated to ruling and becoming a useful member of the family, and took time to learn about Sprinklage politics and diplomacy Pentos. ------------ insert stuff about Jon getting blown up --------------- In the months before his death in 1471, Peter Sprinklage had plotted to have his older son Sips killed so that Jon might rule Sprinklage instead, as he was stronger, smarter and generally less weak. Jon was not aware of this but had been wishing to rule for some time. It is unknown if Lord Peter actually managed to send an assassin after Sips Sprinklage , but Sips Sprinklage is not dead (yet??). Jon possessed Bessie 'the barmaid' Barmoid and became relatively close with her. although she didn't like being possessed, she understood why jon did it, as he shared many of his memories of a traumatic childhood and even the events of his death. Jon couldn't let Bessie be free because she knew many sprinklage state secrets that could not be divulged or known by anyone outside of the sprinklage family. Bessie could still not see jon, but could sense his presence and communicated with him when possessed, jon stopped possessing bessie, trying to give her space and her freedom as much as he could, because he knew she was plagued by nightmares of the moment he died - he never suffered such nightmares because he couldn't sleep. After encountering the goblins and their king, jon was cursed and made mortal once more. he bonded with Eddard Mormont in this time, as eddard understood his trauma and was comforting. Jon discovered he would become a ghost once again once he saw the eyes of Ramsay Reed, though glad to be alive and experiencing anything again, Jon couldn't escape the feeling that he didn't belong in this realm, as if his body was a relic from a time long ago and he was merely a guest in a strange and too-alive new world. He suspected that he would die soon or would be returned to his ghostly form, so tried not to dwell on the bad feelings - he enjoyed experiencing as much human contact as possible and enjoying the experiences that ghosts couldn't enjoy.
