Not that I don’t appreciate Gemma Whelan skills as an actress, she’s very talented, but Yara is not Asha, and the show did not fully show us the awesomeness of this character. As for the fancast I chose Claudia Kim in her role of Khutulun, because the Iron Islands might be quite ethnically-mixed, and her story reminded me a lot of Asha’s, especially with her relationship with her father and younger brother.

Jeyne Arryn, the maiden of the Vale. She became ruler of the Vale of Arryn at a really young age (3 yo), so until she was of age, Lord Yorbert Royce served as regent. She had to face her cousins ambitions, trying to spoil her of her birthright. She wasn’t scared of expressing her opinions, even though it was in opposition of the policy of her former regent. She’s known to have been one of the original regent of King Aegon III, because Jeyne helped Rhaenyra Targaryen during the Dance of the Dragons, making it clear women could be in power and mostly because in this world of men, women must band together.

Sansa Stark, raised in Winterfell, far from everything that’s bad or dangerous, she learned in the hardest ways the true colors of the world she’s living in. Yet she did not gave up. She started to learn from the best players of the game of thrones, the worst people of Westeros. Her skin has turn to porcelain, to ivory, to steel.

Elia Martell, sister to Prince Doran and Prince Oberyn Martell. She was specially close with the last one. Kind, amiable, solar, she was the heart of Dorne, loved by everyone, despite her poor health. She eventualy married prince Rhaegar Targaryen and gave him two beautiful babies (Rhaenys & Aegon), but no, that man had to “fall in love” with a northwoman (teenager), bringing shame and dishonor to his wife. Elia’s life tragically ended due to the Lannisters, by the hands of Gregor Clegane, trying to protect her kids at all costs. And there has been no justice for Elia.

Rhaena Targaryen, the shy Targaryen princess who had to fly her dragon Dreamfyre for the first time to reveal her trueself. She was loved by (almost) everyone, sweet, entertaining. She lived through hard times like the death of her husband and her wedding to Maegor, her uncle. But she survived, even tried to kill him and succeed to escape his grasp with her daughter. And even though her relationship with Aerea was more than complicated, she exhausted herself while looking for her. She lived the end of her life in Harrenhal, letting everyone thinks she was a witch, because she did not have time for tears.

Olenna Tyrell. Born a Redwyne, it seems like she always known what she wanted, and that wasn’t marying a Targaryen. She was still a teenager when she schemed to had her engagement, and Luthor’s, annuled. After her mariage, her power only grew stronger. Olenna cares deeply for her family, especially for the children of Mace, but without letting her feelings cloud her judgment, perfectly aware of the idiocy of her eldest son for example. But after all, all men are fools.

Thank you @zuz6324 for creating this brave lioness and thank you so much @evyness for playing her with such excellence. You’re the Lannister I’ll always love ♥
