5. Ygritte
One of the major character in the third and fourth season of the show, the beautiful and wild Ygritte is portrayed by the Scottish actress Rose Leslie.
“I personally love her so much because she’s a lot of fun. She’s feisty and she doesn’t take crap from anybody… And the fact that she’s a strong woman. There are so many powerful female characters in the series.” She graduated with a BA Honours degree from the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art.
Before she appeared in ‘’Game of Thrones’’, Leslie rose to popularity when she played the role of Gwen in the first season of the highly successful drama series ‘’Downton Abbey.’’ Although Ygritte lived north of the Wall in ‘’Game of Thrones’’ and never saw a real castle, Rose grew up in her family’s ancestral castle. Namely, the beautiful actress is descended from Scottish nobility.
