Game Of Thrones Season 6: 25 Most Epic Moments

9. Lyanna Mormont

Game of Thrones wildfire King's Landing Sept of Baelor

Not since the introduction of Oberyn Martell has a new character become so beloved so quickly.

When Jon and Sansa travel around the North, looking for support from the other Northern houses, they meet the Lady of House Mormont. It's amusing at first to see this little girl sitting in a lord's chair but Lady Lyanna is quick to wipe that smile off your face. She's immediately shows herself to be a no-nonsense woman of little patience and a lot of authority. She's not afraid to dress down other high lords, even giving Jon and Sansa a verbal smack-down.

This is a brilliantly written character and the casting of young Bella Ramsey is even better. The show has done a great job of finding very talented young actors and this is no exception. The fact that Lady Mormont is one of the few Northern leaders to rally behind the Starks makes her that much cooler. Is it too late to proclaim a Queen in the North instead?
