House of Ladies 2020 by @womenasoiafâ - Day 7 : free choice
Asha Greyjoy, daughter of Balon Greyjoy, self-proclaimed King of Salt and Rock, and Alannys Harlaw. She became Balonâs heir after his two eldest sons died in the rebellion and his youngest one, Theon, had to leave for Winterfell. She is the fiercest woman of the Iron Islands, learned to be bold by her motherâs side, observant by her favorite uncleâs side, and a great warrior thanks to her father. Asha is witty, never afraid of speaking her mind and sheâll never let anyone make her feel less because of her sex, especially not regarding her birthright. She would die as she lived, with an axe in her hand and a laugh upon her lips.
Not that I donât appreciate Gemma Whelan skills as an actress, sheâs 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 Ashaâs, especially with her relationship with her father and younger brother.
