Game Of Thrones: 10 Best Characters Who Appeared After Season One

"Tell Cersei. I want her to know it was me".

Olenna Tyrell was a character who hooked you the moment she began speaking. As an elderly character, you'd have expected her to be one of the figures most concerned with appearing proper and maintaining tradition, but Olenna was far from it. She spoke with a harshness that would make anyone blush and didn't give a damn.

As the matriarch of the Tyrell family, she was one of the most influential people in the kingdom, and she let everyone know it. She continued to be involved in the schemes and plots of King's Landing, mainly focussed on helping her granddaughter Margaery's exploits.

The character spent her whole life as a witty and savage talker, earning her the moniker of the Queen of Thornes. This was what made her a delight in the show, as she never held back and spoke with a venom that was captivating.

Plus, it cannot be overlooked that she played an integral role in the assassination of the show's most hated character (Joffrey), and even her final moments were spent sticking it to the man.
