Imagine if Cersei where to find out she wasn't a Lannister at all........
She would just get more crazy and power hungry.... cause she could say she is a legitimate heir.
Much wine drinking and cunting would ensue.
I used to like Cersei's character in the story, but she really turns into a **** who drinks alot of wine later in the books and show.
Some people talk about how shes such a formidable character, but I don't see her going up against anyone formidable.
She tricked Ned with Little Finger's help... she drinks too much and collapses into a crying heap during the Battle of Blackwater Bay... she never had control of Joffrey and later lost control of Tommen to Margeary/High Sparrow.... she doesn't really trick them, she just sacrifices a large amount of Wildfire and city to eliminate them.... she simply takes the Iron Throne, she doesn't take it from anyone....
Idk I hear people talk about her like she is up there with Little Finger, Varys, Tywin, etc.... I think she is ruthless, but not incredibly smart nor manipulating.
Only manipulation she does is thru sex.
She reminds me alot of dudes with powerful fathers who have inferiority complexes.
