Hi there 🙂 Well, in the novels, Lyanna is described as being a wild, wolf blooded tomboy-esque character who died at 16 years old. She’s compared to Arya a lot in appearance, behavior, and personality. The show has so far kept the adapted version in line with this, which makes me very happy. I’m still wary about the coming flashbacks though.

Within the fandom, Lyanna’s often depicted as a very delicate and genteel gender conforming older woman (sometimes in her mid-twenties and even thirties) who only wears flowing blue gowns and has blue roses sprouting everywhere. Very little attention is paid to her wild and non-conforming nature.

#I can’t believe D&D have done Lya better than most of the fandom
