17 ‘Game of Thrones’ Characters’ Journeys, in Haiku Form
Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke)
From wife of Khal Drogo
To the Mother of Dragons
Dracarys, indeed!
Jon Snow (Kit Harington)
Jon is no bastard
He’s Targaryen and Stark
And King in the North!
Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey)
Sure, her children are all dead
But she’s on the Iron Throne
With baby on board
Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage)
Who you calling ‘imp’?
As Dany’s chief strategist
He drinks and knows things
Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau)
He’s Cersei’s brother
And dad to four of her kids
Uh-huh, that’s incest
Arya Stark (Maisie Williams)
A girl had no name
Then returned to Winterfell
A trained assassin
Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner)
Justice for Sansa!
She helped beat Ramsay Bolton
And got no credit
Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead Wright)
This paraplegic
Became a Three-Eyed Raven
With no emotions
Melisandre (Carice Van Houten)
The Red Witch knows all
At least, Meli thought she did
Before Shireen’s death
Samwell Tarly (John Bradley)
He’s Jon Snow’s best friend
Who trained to be a maester
And realized Jon’s truth
Theon Greyjoy (Alfie Allen)
This Ironborn found
Being castrated pays off
When kneed in the groin
Grey Worm (Jacob Anderson)
Speaking of eunuchs
Grey still made Missandei’s day
(Or, rather, her night!)
Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie)
She wants to be knight
And to protect the Stark kids
And to dodge Tormund
Jorah Mormont (Iain Glen)
With honor redeemed
And with skin clear of greyscale
He lives to fight on
Tormund Giantsbane (Kristofer Hivju)
This Free Folk fighter
Was last seen guarding Eastwatch
Is he dragon food?
Petyr “Littlefinger” Baelish (Aidan Gillen)
Arya and Sansa
Realized this dude was a snake
So long, jugular!
Ned Stark (Sean Bean)
The Stark patriarch
Met his end in Season 1
Sean Bean always dies!
Missing Game of Thrones?
