Sansa Stark
Did you know Sophie Turner adopted the dog who played her direwolf, Lady, after the canine was killed on-screen? Turner’s performance as the oldest Stark sister, aside from aging her up for the event, was right on. She was meek, petulant, and spoilt in the early seasons, just like her novel counterpart. In the books, it’s simpler to pass it up to immaturity because she’s younger. Her destiny in the books is still unknown.

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.
