Hi anon.

I agree with GRRM on that. Osha was ok in the books for me, but on the show she’s so much better. 

I definitely like the “expansion” of her character, since it gave more interesting takes on the younger Starks storyline. And as well presented a female character that I’m very interested in.

Natalia Tena is a crazy girl who I love. I’m personally not familiar with her work, except for HP and GOT. 

As Osha, she absolutely gave the character a different feel, a different set of qualities, and I hope I don’t insult the writer with this, but she gave Osha a personality. I’m seriously pleased with her interpretation, and definitely interested to see what are they gonna do regarding the <SPOILER> separation of the Stark boys at this point. <END OF SPOILER>

I think the role is perfect for her, so I’m glad they chose her. And to be honest, if they had kept the character as it was on the books, then her casting would have been a waste. Tena definitely needed that extra screen time. 

I don’t personally find her expressive enough as an actress, but that works for certain roles. She’s good at knowing her strong sides, and she makes the most of them. Still I feel I don’t know much of her work to actually say this is set on stone. SO this only can be applied to the productions I mentioned.
