It was grey. I have also made his eyes greener. I've also slimmed down his nose to make it resemble actress Lena Headey's more closely. Lancel's appearance in early seasons was accurate for the most part, but much of what happens to him after joining the Sparrows on the show is imagined.
Book Lancel takes severe wounds at the Battle of the Blackwater, which age him prematurely. He later gives up his lordship and new wife to join the Faith Militant, but there's no face carving involved. So spake Martin: Though only seventeen, he might have passed for seventy; grey-faced, gaunt, with hollow cheeks, sunken eyes, and hair as white and brittle as chalk. Though his hair had gone white, his mustache fuzz remained a sandy color.
I also removed the Seven-Pointed Star on his forehead, because in the books he doesn't go through this initiation ritual. When Barristan Selmy travels to Essos in order to join Daenerys' retinue, he's grown his hair and beard long and goes by an alias—Arstan Whitebeard. Although Barristan eventually trims his hair and beard after revealing his true identity to Daenerys, the show completely skipped this evolution in Barristan's appearance.
So spake Martin: The other man wore a traveler's cloak of undyed wool, the hood thrown back. Long white hair fell to his shoulders, and a silky white beard covered the lower half of his face.
People love Stephen Dillane as Stannis, and I must admit he nails the character's stern, uncompromising demeanor—but he just doesn't look much like the Stannis of the books. Perhaps the biggest issue with Dillane is that he frankly looks older than Robert Baratheon actor Mark Addy, when Robert is supposed to be the older brother, and Stannis the younger. Stannis is only supposed to be 34 at the start of the books. So spake Martin: Stannis Baratheon was broad of shoulder and sinewy of limb, with a tightness to his face and flesh that spoke of leather cured in the sun until it was as tough as steel.
Though he was not yet five-and-thirty, only a fringe of thin black hair remained on his head, circling behind his ears like the shadow of a crown. Stannis kept his own whiskers cropped tight and short.
They lay like a blue-black shadow across his square jaw and the bony hollows of his cheeks. His eyes were open wounds beneath his heavy brows, a blue as dark as the sea by night. His mouth would have given despair to even the drollest of fools; it was a mouth made for frowns and scowls and sharply worded commands, all thin pale lips and clenched muscles, a mouth that had forgotten how to smile and had never known how to laugh.
I also gave him dark blue eyes, removed some wrinkles, and widened his shoulders. The choice of Carice van Houten for the role of Melisandre was a triumph by the casting staff. So spake Martin: "It was her! It was her who burned you, the red woman, Melisandre, her!
All I've had to do here is change her eyes from their natural blue to an amber red. While I think we all agree that Sean Bean was a great choice to play Lord Eddard on Game of Thrones , it's also pretty obvious to book readers that he doesn't look much like his namesake from the novels. Thankfully, Bean makes up for it with excellent acting. So spake Martin: Bran's father sat solemnly on his horse, long brown hair stirring in the wind.
His closely trimmed beard was shot with white, making him look older than his thirty-five years. He had a grim cast to his grey eyes this day, and he seemed not at all the man who would sit before the fire in the evening and talk softly of the age of heroes and the children of the forest. Mark Addy was a brilliant choice to play King Robert. My only quibble is that Addy's hair is a medium brown shot through with gray, when George R.
Martin makes it clear that despite his obesity, Robert is still quite black-haired. Additionally, Robert Baratheon would tower over most men, putting him near the height of Hodor, while actor Mark Addy stands only 5'11" tall. So spake Martin: Since the night they had stood side by side in Greyjoy's fallen stronghold, where Robert had accepted the rebel lord's surrender and Ned had taken his son Theon as hostage and ward, the king had gained at least eight stone.
A beard as coarse and black as iron wire covered his jaw to hide his double chin and the sag of the royal jowls, but nothing could hide his stomach or the dark circles under his eyes.
Edmure is the baby of the Tully family, but on the show he hardly resembles his sisters Catelyn and Lysa, and he also looks just as old as they do—when he actually should be in his late 20s or early 30s at the start of the novels. So spake Martin: Her father's guards waited on the water stair with her brother.
Ser Edmure Tully was a stocky young man with a shaggy head of auburn hair and a fiery beard. He's gigantic, strong, and terrifying, but the Mountain that Rides has not been very accurately depicted on the show.
Three different actors have played the Mountain in the show, and none have come close to matching the description of Ser Gregor from the books—but that's understandable given that any casting director would be hard-pressed to find an actor matching Clegane's unnatural stature, described as nearly 8 feet tall and 30 stone lbs. Conan Stevens 7' tall played Clegane in season one, followed by Ian Whyte 7'1" in season two. So spake Martin: He was huge, the biggest man that Eddard Stark had ever seen.
Robert Baratheon and his brothers were all big men, as was the Hound, and back at Winterfell there was a simpleminded stableboy named Hodor who dwarfed them all, but the knight they called the Mountain That Rides would have towered over Hodor.
He was well over seven feet tall, closer to eight, with massive shoulders and arms thick as the trunks of small trees In the middle of the field, Ser Gregor Clegane disentangled himself and came boiling to his feet. He wrenched off his helm and slammed it down onto the ground. His face was dark with fury and his hair fell down into his eyes. He fights with a twohanded greatsword, but needs only one hand to wield it. He has been known to cut men in half with a single blow.
His armor is so heavy that no lesser man could bear the weight, let alone move in it. The Mountain also is supposed to have hair long enough to fall into his eyes, so I've given him a messy dark brown 'do. Among readers as well as show-only fans, "dancing master" Syrio Forel is a favorite secondary character. But while fans of both mediums can agree on Syrio's awesomeness, book readers will be quick to point out that there's one problem with Miltos Yeromelou in the role—his full head of bushy, black hair.
So spake Martin: The hall seemed empty, until an unfamiliar voice said, "You are late, boy. Rose Leslie would probably say we know nothing, but she's much too pretty to play the part of Ygritte if we stay completely true to the books.
As with Brienne, the showrunners picked a gorgeous lady to play someone notably less-than-beautiful—at least, according to George R. Martin's writing. So spake Martin: Ygritte's hair was such a tangle that Jon was tempted to ask her if she only brushed it at the changing of the seasons. At a lord's court the girl would never have been considered anything but common, he knew. She had a round peasant face, a pug nose, and slightly crooked teeth, and her eyes were too far apart.
The Game of Thrones casting department did an excellent job when picking Lena Headey for the role of Cersei. I now have a very hard time picturing anyone else in the role. That being said, there are a few things different about Cersei in the books when compared to the show. As her stress levels rise, Cersei begins to drink heavily and near constantly in the novels. With all this wine comes a fairly significant weight gain—to the point where she no longer can fit into many of her old gowns.
So spake Martin: She was as beautiful as men said. A jeweled tiara gleamed amidst her long golden hair, its emeralds a perfect match for the green of her eyes. I also made her rounder and more jowly in the face to reflect her alcohol-induced weight gain. Actor John Bradley has Sam's demeanor down pat, but he doesn't bear a strong resemblance to the Samwell of the novels. The book version of Sam is clean-shaven, has light-colored eyes, and weighs a good bit more than Bradley does.
So spake Martin: J on turned. Through the eye slit of his helm, he beheld the fattest boy he had ever seen standing in the door of the armory. By the look of him, he must have weighed twenty stone.
The fur collar of his embroidered surcoat was lost beneath his chins. Pale eyes moved nervously in a great round moon of a face, and plump sweaty fingers wiped themselves on the velvet of his doublet. I've also changed his eyes from brown to a paler shade of gray, and made his face heavier to reflect the additional pounds he should be carrying around.
At first, so much about Littlefinger bothered me. Where's his pointy beard? Why is he so gray-haired? He's only 30 years old! Then after a re-read, I realized that Baelish was going prematurely gray in the books, too—I'd just never noticed before.
So spake Martin: Petyr had been a small boy, and he had grown into a small man, an inch or two shorter than Catelyn, slender and quick, with the sharp features she remembered and the same laughing grey-green eyes. He had a little pointed chin beard now, and threads of silver in his dark hair, though he was still shy of thirty. They went well with the silver mockingbird that fastened his cloak.
Pedro Pascal was an inspired choice to play Oberyn Martell. While he has the same swarthy olive complexion and black eyes, he lacks the longer hair and widow's peak the Red Viper of Dorne should have. Artwork by LynxSphinx. Ramsay is described as ugly, big-boned, with sloped shoulders.
Artwork by Britt Martin. Artwork by jezebel. She has a voluptuous figure and narrow waist — never seen without her red and gold choker, which is set with a ruby. Her radiant presence stands out in so many scenes set in dark, dreary locales, and her beauty is rivaled only by her intensity. Artwork by lokiescape.
She is fair and red-haired like her mother, whereas all the other Stark children look more like their father. Artwork by MargotDraws. Although only ten, she is very strong willed and intelligent. She has a sweet, strong voice. The intelligence and sweetness are there, but she clearly looks nothing like she does in the stories. Artwork by camibee. He is strong and fast. He opens the series as a boy of fourteen years. His hair is the wrong color, his eyes are the wrong color, and he is massively older than the Robb of the books.
Yet in the books, he comes across as deformed and monstrous. He is described as having Targaryen white hair and a long black beard, one green eye and one black eye, a head that's way too big for his body, and no nose due to the fact that it was chopped off during the battle at blackwater.
Now that's unfortunate! While Sansa Stark gets her mom's good looks in the novels from the Tully side of the family, Arya is described to have more of her father's looks on the Stark side, with brunette hair and grey eyes. She is often referred to as "horseface" in the novel, implying that her face is long and skinny while on the show the actress who plays the character has a lovely doll-like round face.
Arya in the books is referred to as plain-looking, yet she doesn't care much about her physical appearance because she's too busy learning how to sword fight. Because she is so active, she is described to have an athletic build in the books.
Oh, Ramsay We were so glad to see you go. Although we can't deny the fact that the actor who plays the sadistic Bolton is incredibly handsome thanks to Iwan Rheon's blessed jawline, in the books, he isn't so pleasing to look at. In fact, he is described as being "an ugly young man, even when dressed finely. He is big-boned with a "fleshiness indicating he will be fat later in life. While on the TV series the actor who plays him is nearly 30, the book character is only about years-old.
Now, this description is rather terrifying, so be warned. As a living woman, Catelyn Stark is known for her great beauty, described as a lovely lady with red hair and blue eyes. Yet after her throat is cut and she is pronounced dead during the red wedding, things do not just end for Catelyn as they do in the show. In the books, Catelyn comes back to haunt people as "Lady Stoneheart," a terrifying woman with a giant red cut across her neck.
In order to speak, Lady Stoneheart has to hold down the cut so her head won't fall off. Excuse us while we have nightmares for the rest of our lives!
