A 'Game of Thrones' personality test

This Sunday will bring the incredible third season of HBO’s fantasy drama “Game of Thrones” to a close.

I’m not sure how they’re going to top last week’s Red Wedding, but I know that my Sundays will be empty without the warring citizens of Westoros.

In honor of their temporary departure, I’ve come up with some analysis on what your favorite character says about you.

Tyrion Lannister

You’re ultimately a good person in a sea of jerks, and you play the game dutifully in order to stay afloat. You’ve got an irresistible snarky charm that renders you irrefutably desirable despite any of your shortcomings.

Joffrey Baratheon

You’re an ass. Just leave. Go. Please. It’s embarrassing you’re even reading this.

Daenerys Targaryen

You’re pretty much awesome in a way that makes people fawn over you like you have three dragon babies. But still, you use your sexuality to your advantage, leading potential suitors to the brink of death just to avenge your causes. But still, you are Khaleesi and what you say goes. You don’t have to buy the power — you’re born with it.

Theon Greyjoy

You used to be really freaking cool. Everyone wanted to hang out with you and we all got along. Now you’re acting like an idiot all the time and we’re humiliated we took the time to let you in the gang.

Jon Snow

You’re a bit of a lone wolf. You’re part of the gang, but you tend to be the butt of every joke. Still, there’s a sexy smolder about you the leaves the right amount of mystery in the air. Chances are one day we’ll all be answering to you as the boss.

Ygritte

No, just stop. You know nothing. Just stop reading this and go.

Cersei Baratheon

You’re terrifying and I wouldn’t touch you with a 30-foot pole. But I have to admit, you’re still pretty cool. You know how to play the game to your advantage, often pitting opposing factions against each other in order to further your agenda. You’re evil, but you’re fabulous.

Arya Stark

You’re a fiery little sparkplug and you’re impossible to dislike. After all the messes you have been through, you’re still standing tall. There seems to be nothing to shake your confidence. Authority doesn’t frighten you and if the adults aren’t careful, you’ll be the one in power some day.

Sansa Stark

You can be annoying, but you really get a bad reputation. You can’t help all the horrible things that have happened to you. A beheaded father, an abusive suitor, a gay suitor. You’ve really taken some hits. But you’re still playing the game and keeping your head up. Keep fighting the good fight.
