Asha (Yara) Greyjoy
The most noticeable difference between the two versions of the headstrong heir of the Iron Islands is the name change – while she is named Asha in the books, the show altered her name to Yara, probably to avoid confusion with Osha the Willding. She’s also described as having “short black hair, a lean built, and a sharp beak nose,” which Gemma Whelan, who plays Yara, certainly does not have. Aside from those adjustments, the character has remained fairly consistent with the one in the books.
