I thought it was Daenerys. Just looked at the white hair and the 'unhappy ending'... I'll admit, I was wondering what the unhappy ending thing was about, but I'm fairly certain that's not Dany, who never wears her hair completely up (I'm pretty darn sure? 95% sure). It's always braided back somehow but hanging down her back. I'm not entirely certain about the collar for Brienne? But it seems more likely to be her than Dany. Are we sure it's a GoT character?
Could have sworn it came from this post, but it must have been somewhere else. Anyway, that post has a lot of gorgeous icons. Oooo, pretties. And you could mine the creator names for more.
If the whole thing is 'You win or you die' - she won. Also a good point. Smart money was on her dying in episode 3, after she became a knight.
... Yes, that makes sense. I am hazy on details, but definitely remember him rescuing her from the bear pit, just because. The bear and the maiden fair.
Yeah, I've been thinking about all the grumblings, and people signed up for a political show - The Tudors with dragons - and then it disappeared off to something much closer to fantasy/fairy tales at the end. It's nowhere near a straight fairy tale ending, but if you're actually going to have an end for something and make it feel like an ending, you sort of need . . . narrative contrivance. And tropes. Without that your only real options are 'everybody dies' or 'they basically just continued the same way they've been doing for eight seasons.' If you're not going to impose some fairy tale on it, it's not a story, it's just life.
I read a thing where they had analysed who spoke the most (women spoke far less then men, surprise, surprise), but the most wordy (by quite a way) was Tyrion... ;) Oh, by huge margins. But he's very clearly the authorial mouthpiece here.
I'll admit, I was wondering what the unhappy ending thing was about, but I'm fairly certain that's not Dany, who never wears her hair completely up These are the details I miss... I think the Unhappy Ending + White hair made me think Dany. Either way, I like it! It's a very pretty icon.
Are we sure it's a GoT character? Yes. Except now I can't work out where I found it. :(
Oooo, pretties. And you could mine the creator names for more. Had the same thought, but a lot of them don't have any recent stuff, so we'll see.
Also a good point. Smart money was on her dying in episode 3, after she became a knight. Totally. So I'm glad she 'made it to the end'.

If you're not going to impose some fairy tale on it, it's not a story, it's just life. They just wanted a DIFFERENT story. (One person said how the discussions about how to divide up the kingdom(s) should have been a season of their own, which seems... fairly in keeping with how things were previously? Although they might not want what they asked for.)
