10 Game Of Thrones Characters Who Died Way Too Soon

6. Ygritte

Just in case you needed any more reasons to loathe little Olly, remember that before he lunged for the Lord Commander, he put an arrow through Ygritte's heart. Her relationship with Jon was twisted, distorted and conflicted, but it was also emotional to watch it all unfold. The stunning Watchers On The Wall episode managed to weave some tears into what was essentially an extended battle scene. The camera follows Ygritte as she converges on the same location as Jon. Her aim is marksman perfect, showing no emotion, no remorse, just ice cool composure. That is until she stumbles across Jon, where she can't let the arrow fly, and it freezes her long enough for Olly to notch up his first 'WHY?!' kill of his life. Ygritte certainly had mileage in her character, and following the execution of Mance Rayder in Season 5, the wildlings are lacking genuine personas in their ranks, apart from the legendary Tormund.
