1Olenna Tyrell
Olenna Tyrell can’t tell her twin guardsmen named apart, so she calls them simply “Left” and “Right.” She herself is known as the Queen of Thorns because of her sharp tongue.
2Myranda
Myranda, Ramsey Bolton’s equally sadistic lover, does not appear in the books. In the TV series, it is revealed that she once trained to be septa, but her overheated sexuality kept her from taking the vows.
3Melisandre
In season 6, when she takes her necklace off and becomes an extremely old woman, it was finally confirmed that Melisandre’s ruby necklace is the source of her youth and likely the source of at least some of her power.
4Unella
You might remember Unella from Cersei’s walk of shame; she was the one ringing the bell and yelling “Shame!” so she was kind of hard to miss. You might not know, however, that Unella is also a member of the Most Devout, who elect the High Septon.
5Lyanna Mormont
Lyanna Mormont is only 10-year-old, and yet she has already stood up to Stannis and was the first in the new landscape of the North to declare for a Stark.
6Cersei Lannister
Despite her renowned beauty, Cersei Lannister was rejected as a bride for both Rhaegar and Viserys Targaryen. Robert Baratheon didn’t want her at first either, and even accidentally called her Lyanna on their wedding night.
7Lady Stoneheart
In the books, the dead Catelyn Stark is brought back as a vengeful zombie named Lady Stoneheart, a fearsome being who kills anyone associated with the Red Wedding. Because Catelyn’s throat was slit during the Red Wedding, Lady Stoneheart is unable to speak.
