● abilities: Jon is a normal human. Well, as normal as someone can be who was brought back from the dead. He's considered one of the best swordsmen in Westeros and shows skill in tactics and strategy (though he sometimes gets ahead of himself). He is also a talented rider and an inspiring leader. There is something about him that draws others to follow him.
● strengths: Friendly: Despite his gruff exterior, Jon has a natural ability to make friends and earn the respect and loyalty of others. In the beginning of the show, there was a measure of animosity between him and a few of the brothers of the Night's Watch after a training exercise. Later, after he taught him what he knew, they became his closest group of friends. The same can be said in earning the friendship of those that are normally the enemies the Night's Watch, the Free Folk. They went from attacking the Wall now to allies of Jon's, willing to follow him. Brave: Jon isn't afraid to throw himself into the thick of a fight or mission. He battled a horde of White Walkers at Hardhome. In the battle for Winterfell, he faced down a charging line of cavalry by himself. When he goes into battle, he isn't afraid. He fights without restraint and doesn't hesitate to share the same conditions as his men. Sense of Justice: Jon acts in accordance to what he knows is right. He doesn't make decisions based on honor but does what he thinks is just. He gives the Wildlings land beyond the Wall because he knows that they will be killed if they remain in the path of the White Walkers. He holds off on killing Ramsay Bolton because it isn't his right to kill him. He follows the rules expected of him, executing a man that defied his orders and the brothers that killed him. He might not always like it, but he has a code to follow.
● weaknesses: Guilt Ridden: Jon carries his mistakes with him, often shutting himself off because of his guilt. He refuses to sleep with other women because his lover died (as he believes) due to his actions. He blames himself for the deaths of his brothers and often feels like he betrayed the Night's watch as well as the Free Folk. He carries this guilt to the point of brooding. Low Sense of Self: Jon thinks less of himself because of his status as a bastard. Society helped instill that in him, but even among the Night's Watch, he felt shame and anger over who he was. He continually reminds Sansa that he's not a Stark, taking the lesser rooms of his house. Being a bastard makes him feel unworthy and less than others, something that hasn't exactly changed through the show. Short sighted: Jon tends to think in terms of the moment, which leads to him miscalculating long term repercussions. While it was good for him to help the Wildlings flee south, he didn't anticipate that it would create animosity among his brothers because he was ignoring the long standing feud. This lead to his death. We see another example of this during the Battle of the Bastards. Jon thinks only of saving Rickon when he appears on the field. He doesn't see it as a trap that ends up getting Rickon killed and nearly getting Jon killed as well. He wanted only to save Rickon, but didn't think about how to do it and what the after effects would be.
