6'3 actress, Gwendoline Christie, has been cast as fan favourite, Brienne of Tarth, in the second season of Game of Thrones. Brienne is a member of Renly Baratheon's personal guard and one of the sturdiest fighters in the world of Westeros.
Also cast is Gemma Whelan, as 'Yara' Greyjoy, sister of Theon Greyjoy and daughter of King Balon Greyjoy of the Iron Islands. There is no Yara Greyjoy in the book series, Yara having replaced the name 'Asha', probably to avoid confusion with 'Osha', a wildling woman in captivity to Winterfell and the Starks.
