Gendry is of a similar age to Robb Stark. Tall and muscled, he has blue eyes and thick, black hair. When he grows a beard, it is also thick and black. Gendry looks like a young Renly Baratheon, albeit with a squarer jaw, bushier brows, and tangled hair. Gendry is a smart boy, but stubborn, sullen, and suspicious. Arya Stark thinks Gendry looks pained when he tries to think. The smith can be shy around women. The apprentice is skilled at smithing but is not a good horseman.
