Game Of Thrones: What Do Your Favourite Characters Look Like In The Books?

8. Melisandre

John Picacio/HBO

Melisandre is described as one of the most beautiful people around in A Clash Of Kings. Her long hair is described as the colour of burnished copper, and she has pale, unblemished skin.

She is slender and graceful, yet tall, with full breasts, a narrow waist, and a heart-shaped face. In the show, she does wear a large, jewelled necklace, though in the books, the rubies physically glow when she is using magic, and if her powers are strong, she is sometimes even burned by the choker.
