Cersei Lannister
Cersei Lannister is without a doubt one of the most intriguing characters in Game of Thrones, where she is frequently portrayed as the antagonist. Her key distinguishing features include cunning, ambition, and vindictiveness, as well as her “love” for her children. While there are many differences in the plot between the program and the books, we believe that in Cersei’s instance, Lena Headey succeeded to convey much of her characteristics, especially her voracious desire for power. Surprisingly, in the books, she’s more dumber and more neurotic in her acts.

Melisandre
In the instance of Melisandre, the show did a remarkably decent job of keeping her personality and plot consistent with the books (until the show deviated from the text, of course). The Red Witch is a mystery figure in both. Carice van Houten clearly lacks Melisandre’s red eyes, but we understand why the production chose not to conceal van Houten’s beautiful blue eyes beneath lenses. So, really good job sticking to the script on this one!
