her that anorexia was "destructive, not creative" - a statement which,
as X states, helped her to start her recovery.

Question 1
X is big enough to be a large castle by all standards, with a godswood, a
sept, a keep, stables, houses, and all you want to have in a castle.
Unlike Winterfell, however, it's built mainly for defense. Its location is
one of the best defensible positions in the, situated between two rivers
and equipped with a floatable moat that can turn it into an island,
famously forcing every besieger to divide his forces into three separate
camps that can fall prey to a relief army pretty easily. X’s size
also allows it to take in the population of the lands sworn
directly to the Y and to protect them against raiders. It is, thus,
the most classical castle we can find in Westeros that is owned
by one of the great houses.
