26[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lollys_stokeworth.png]]
27!!!'''Played By:''' Elizabeth Cadwallader
28
29A noble lady and second in line for the inheritance of Stokeworth.
30----
31* AbledInTheAdaptation: Lollys was mentally handicapped in the books, while her show counterpart appears neurotypical.
32* AdaptationalAttractiveness: She's much thinner than her book counterpart, although still relatively plain.
33* AdaptationDyeJob: Dark-haired in the books, blonde in the TV series.
34* ArrangedMarriage: The Lannisters keep pimping her to other men for their own schemes. First to Bronn, then to a Ser Willys Bracken.
35* DemotedToExtra: In the books she had a regular, though minor, presence from the second book onward. So far she's only had one appearance on the show.
36* DumbBlonde: She's blonde and extremely clueless.
37* EatingTheEyeCandy: She practically swoons when Jaime kisses her hand.
38* MealTicket: Being old nobility is the transparent reason why an upstart like Bronn is interested in her.
39* MotorMouth: When discussing wedding plans. She barely even notices Bronn isn't even listening.
40* SpareToTheThrone: Her older sister is the heir of the family, but Bronn plans to remedy that with a [[MakeItLookLikeAnAccident shortcut]].
41* SparedByTheAdaptation: In the books, she was raped half a hundred times and impregnated during the riot in King's Landing. No such thing happens in the series as she wasn't present for the riot.
42* WomanChild: She has a rather childish way about her, babbling about her mean sister who pulls her hair.

52!!!'''Played By:''' Creator/EsmeBianco
53
54->''"It's not easy for girls like us to dig our way out."''
55
56A popular prostitute at Winterfell, who later heads to King's Landing.
57----
58* AloneWithThePsycho: With Joffrey in "The Climb". Though we only see the aftermath, she does not survive.
59* AscendedExtra: Hard to believe she started out as just "Redheaded Whore." The producers were so impressed by her performance (specifically how she didn't give any indication that freezing cold bothered her) they kept bringing her back.
60* BreakTheCutie: In Season 2. First Littlefinger hints that he'll kill her if she can't stop crying over the murder of Mhaegen's baby, and then Joffrey forces her to torture another prostitute. And ''then'' Cersei keeps her as a hostage for Tyrion's good behaviour, after having her roughed up a bit.
61* CanonForeigner: She does not appear in the books.
62* ChekhovsGun: That Lannister necklace she's wearing was given to her by Tyrion. This is what leads Cersei to believe that she is the whore that Tyrion has fallen in love with.
63* ColdBloodedTorture: Forced to perform it on the prostitute Daisy by Joffrey, under threat that she will get the same if she refuses.
64* CompositeCharacter: She seems to be based on a Winterfell girl named Kyra, and also takes the role of Chataya (being a madam) and Alayaya (being mistaken for Tyrion's lover and subsequently arrested) in Season 2.
65* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Strung up to be tortured to death by a sadist.
66* DropDeadGorgeous: While not being naked, her dress was still rather skimpy and torn in delicate places.
67* DroppedABridgeOnHim: We see her corpse briefly in a montage. There is no build up to this happening.
68* FanDisservice: Her final scene depicts her hanging half naked from a bed, after being riddled with crossbow bolts by Joffrey.
69* {{Foreshadowing}}: In Season 2, Littlefinger threatens to sell her to some sadist if she turns out to be a "bad investment".
70* GroinAttack: One of the crossbow bolts that Joffrey shoots her with is embedded in her crotch.
71* HappinessIsMandatory: After failing to satisfy a costumer because she can't stop crying about baby Barra's murder, Littlefinger basically tells her to shut up and pretend to be okay so she can satisfy his costumers, otherwise something bad will happen to her.
72* HeroicBlueScreenOfDeath: Has a minor breakdown after seeing the Goldcloaks murder Mhaegen's baby.
73* HiddenDepths: While most characters dismiss her as just a regular prostitute, it's frequently shown that she's actually quite on the ball and highly savvy. Both Littlefinger and Varys have noticed this and have respectively appointed her as their right hand woman by end of the second season. She warns Shae to keep an eye on Sansa, ''[[WifeHusbandry particularly]]'' around Littlefinger. In Season 3, we learn she can read, which as Varys points out, is rare for a woman who started off where she did.
74* HighClassCallGirl: She aspired to be one when she was in the North, and eventually worked her way up to be one in King's Landing.
75* HopeSpot: Things finally seem to be turning up a little for Ros after Littlefinger's horrible treatment of her in Season 2 when she becomes Varys's spy. Unfortunately, this hope spot is short-lived since Littlefinger sells her off to Joffrey who proceeds to use her as target practice for his new crossbow and kills her.
76* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: In "The Night Lands", her sincere crying after the assassination of baby Barra contrasts with the reactions coming from Cersei ([[BelievingTheirOwnLies it's bad but it had to be done]]), Tyrion ([[TheChessmaster it's a bad political move]]), and Littlefinger (it's bad, but crying [[CorruptCorporateExecutive is bad for business too so shut up]]).
77* KilledOffScreen: In "The Climb", we find out that Littlefinger sold her to Joffrey as target practice for his crossbow. Although the actual death was offscreen, the immediate aftermath was ''not''.
78* KillTheCutie: A Cutie killed by Joffrey.
79* MissKitty: By the second season, she has become Littlefinger's right hand woman and trains the new prostitutes.
80* TheMole: After her miserable experiences with both Joffrey and Littlefinger near the end of the second season, she jumps at the opportunity to become Varys's mole in Littlefinger's camp when he offers it to her.
81* MsFanservice: In the first season, at least. Since then, she's kept her (still quite flattering and occasionally {{Stripperiffic}}) clothes on.
82* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: In "The Night Lands", Littlefinger tells her to stop sobbing or bad things will happen to her.
83* RagsToRiches: She's worked her way up from being a prostitute in the north to Littlefinger's righthand woman and a prized and respected employee of Varys as well.
84* ServileSnarker: She doesn't hesitate to put Tyrion and Theon in their place.
85* SherlockScan: Is immediately able to figure out that Shae, posing as Sansa's handmaiden at the time, used to be a whore.
86* StatuesqueStunner: At 5'8, she's one of the tallest women in the entire show ''and'' is the series' original MsFanservice.
87* ThrowTheDogABone: After spending most of the season being traumatized, threatened, abused, and held hostage, Ros' situation finally starts looking up in "Valar Morghulis", when Varys offers her a business partnership. [[YankTheDogsChain Too bad it doesn't last.]]
88* TraumaCongaLine: Ros has a hard time at King's Landing. Witnessing infanticide, being threatened by Littlefinger to be [[SexSlave sold to a deviant]], being stuck [[ColdBloodedTorture in a room with Joffrey]], and [[IHaveYourWife kidnapped by Cersei]] to keep Tyrion in line. CanonForeigner or no, it's hard not to feel a bit sorry for her. This is all capped off in Season 3's "The Climb" when Ros is sold off by Littlefinger to Joffrey, who then brutally kills her by using her as target practice.
89* ReallyGetsAround: Well, ''Cast'' Bicycle by now. In a way that makes her sort of like [[BeenThereShapedHistory Forrest Gump]], [[{{Dissimile}} if Gump slept with a lot of famous people]]. She has been a lover to Theon and Tyrion, was going to be Jon Snow's "first time", and gets to listen to a very plot-important monologue from Littlefinger while he has her practice with another prostitute. She's also "hired" by Pycelle. Plays neatly into her other role on the show:
90* TheWatson: She gives several characters someone to explain things to without resorting to AsYouKnow. This method of InfoDump has become so prevalent that reviewers have started describing it as "{{Sexposition}}", and Ros seems to be its main victim (perpetrator?).
91* YankTheDogsChain: Littlefinger finds out about her espionage and has her brutally killed.
92* YouHaveFailedMe: When Littlefinger discovers Ros revealed his plans to Varys, he decides to sell her to Joffrey, who as it happens, has got a new crossbow he's been dying to try out.

99!!!'''Played By:''' Will Tudor
100
101A male prostitute of Littlefinger's who is eventually placed in charge of the brothel while his boss is away.
102----
103* AllGaysArePromiscuous: He gives Loras the impression that he enjoys casual sex with men, although the audience later discovers that it's part of his job description. In "[[Recap/GameOfThronesS4E3BreakerOfChains Breaker of Chains]]", it's confirmed that he is more than just "gay for pay" after all.
104* BitchInSheepsClothing: Ultimately betrays Loras to the High Sparrow.
105* CanonForeigner: He doesn't appear in the books.
106* EvenTheGuysWantHim: The bisexual Oberyn finds him so desirable that he isn't at all deterred when Olyvar informs the prince that he's "wildly expensive."
107* EveryoneLovesBlondes: Or at least, Loras and Oberyn do.
108* FemmeFataleSpy: Despite being a male character, he fits this trope, at least when it comes to Loras. Although given his comment about having shared the beds of many unhappy husbands at court and being an employee of Littlefinger's, he's probably played HoneyTrap to others.
109* GenderFlip: In "[[Recap/GameOfThronesS4E1TwoSwords Two Swords]]", he becomes the "blonde whore" that Oberyn and Ellaria want to fool around with in the novels.
110* HoneyTrap: His actual job in practice.
111* IncompatibleOrientation: When Ellaria kisses him on the lips in "[[Recap/GameOfThronesS4E3BreakerOfChains Breaker of Chains]]", he apologizes and says he has no taste for women.
112* InstantSeduction: It doesn't take long for him to worm his way into Loras' bed.
113* KlingonPromotion: How he got his job as the brothel's acting manager. He assisted Littlefinger in a scheme that among other things blew the cover of his predecessor Ros, who subsequently got punished by death for her espionage. Given how open Littlefinger is about his treatment of "bad investments", Olyvar must have been well aware of these consequences.
114* LoveInterestTraitor: After being in a relationship since Season 3, Olyvar sells Loras out to the High Sparrow to save his own skin (and/or to aid Petyr's scheme to pit the Lannisters and Tyrells against each other).
115* MaleFrontalNudity: In "[[Recap/GameOfThronesS3E5KissedByFire Kissed by Fire]]", "[[Recap/GameOfThronesS4E3BreakerOfChains Breaker of Chains]]", and "[[Recap/GameOfThronesS5E1TheWarsToCome The Wars to Come]]". Also accompanied by Male Back Nudity.
116* MissKitty: By the time Season 4 begins, he has taken over Ros' role as Littlefinger's middle manager of the brothel.
117* MrFanservice: Let's just say that his Adonis-like physique leaves absolutely ''nothing'' to the imagination.
118* PrettyBoy: Fresh-faced and clean-shaven.
119* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: He flees when The Sparrows conduct ThePurge against King's Landing's sinners, particularly homosexuals.
120* SexualEuphemism: He tells Loras, "I should like to see you spar with a proper partner, ser." They end up "sparring" in Loras' bed shortly afterwards.
121* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To Ros. After her death, he takes over the role of the show's main prostitute, provider of {{Fanservice}}, and receiver of {{Sexposition}}.
122* TheSquire: He pretends to be one in "[[Recap/GameOfThronesS3E5KissedByFire Kissed by Fire]]".
123* TheTwink: It was unclear in Season 3 what his sexual orientation was, but it's confirmed in "[[Recap/GameOfThronesS4E3BreakerOfChains Breaker of Chains]]" that he's gay.

131Another prostitute at Littlefinger's brothel.
132----
133* CanonForeigner: Nobody by her name appears in the books.
134* DiamondsInTheBuff: Her earrings.
135* FanserviceExtra: She's played by a [[CastTheExpert real adult film star]].
136* {{Fauxreigner}}: She pretends to be foreign to look more exotic.
137* LanguageFluencyDenial[=/=]ObfuscatingStupidity: Ros tells Daisy that Armeca pretends not to speak the CommonTongue so her clients think she's exotic.
138* TheQuietOne: Though she does have some lines in "Blackwater".
139* SceneryCensor: Very rare, but that fruit in her first episode deserves mention.

146
147A new prostitute at Littlefinger's brothel.
148----
149* BreakTheCutie: Joffrey forces Ros to beat her, being the little sadistic prick that he is.
150* CanonForeigner: Not present in the books.
151* CountryMouse: The first time we see her, Ros explains to the wide-eyed girl that "this is King's Landing, not Haystack Hall."
152* DisposableSexWorker: Possibly, as a result of Joffrey forcing Ros to beat her.
153* FanDisservice: Tyrion hires her and Ros as a belated "present" for Joffrey's name day. It... does not go well.
154* FanserviceExtra: Like Aremca.
155* InterruptedIntimacy: Her session with Pycelle was interrupted by Tyrion, Bronn, and Timett.
156* UncertainDoom: Last time we see her, Ros is about to brutally beat her up with a stag scepter on Joffrey's orders, which, if it didn't kill her outright, would still have severely mangled her. Given how Littlefinger treats sexworkers that don't turn a profit, it's highly unlikely she survived.

163!!!'''Played By:''' Antonia Christophers
164
165A prostitute established in King's Landing and mother of Barra, another of Robert Baratheon's bastards.
166----
167* ForcedToWatch: In "The North Remembers", as Janos Slynt kills her baby.
168* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: Mhaegen is a very sweet girl and a loving mother. She doesn't even want money or anything else from Robert; she just wants him to know that Barra is healthy and happy.
169* MamaBear: She throws herself at the Gold Cloaks who kill Barra, crying and screaming. Unfortunately, this is ''Series/GameOfThrones''. AnyoneCanDie happens.
170* MyNaymeIs: An alternate spelling of the real-life name Megan.
171* NamedByTheAdaptation: Her book counterpart's name was never mentioned.
172* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Her daughter, Barra, is murdered by the goldcloaks during the purge of Robert's bastards from King's Landing.
173* SingleMomStripper: Robert fathered a bastard daughter with her and proceeded to forget about her existence.
174* SparedByTheAdaptation: In the books, she dies trying to defend her baby.

177[[folder:Marei]]
178!!Marei
179!!!'''Played By:''' Josephine Gillan
180
181A prostitute in the King's Landing brothel owned by Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish.
182----
183* AscendedExtra: Started out as an unnamed prostitute in the Season 2 premiere with no speaking lines. She went on to become the longest recurring prostitute character in the TV series, actually, returning every year through Season 6 -- five seasons in a row. Ros appeared much more prominently earlier on -- in many more episodes and with far more speaking lines -- but she died after three seasons.
184* CompositeCharacter: Sort of odd case, in that there actually is a minor background prostitute named "Marei" in the books, but she's only really mentioned in passing. The TV character didn't even have a name in Season 2. Only retroactively, in Season 3, did they give her a name taken from a prostitute character in the books who also worked at the same brothel as Mhaegen -- but the similarities end there. She also only got her first speaking line in Season 3.
185* InterruptedIntimacy: When the Faith Militant storm Littlefinger's brothel, she's caught mid-coitus and dragged out naked into the street by her hair. Could have been worse, actually: the actress said that originally they were going to punch her in the face so hard that she had to spit out a lot of fake blood, but later the episode decided that this was needlessly graphic so he switched it to just dragging her out.
186* MsFanservice: Put it this way: she's the longest recurring prostitute character on the show by Season 6, and she has worn "clothes" in ''exactly one scene'', in the Season 4 premiere (and even then she took them off almost immediately).
187* SituationalSexuality: Claims this when hired for Ellaria Sand. Only two characters have actually performed cunnilingus in the show: Marei and Jon Snow, and Jon's was a discretion shot.

198----
199* DistractedByTheSexy: Podrick Payne, Oberyn Martell, and Ellaria Sand all fall prey to her highly distracting charms.
200* FlexibilityEqualsSexAbility: As a prostitute, she's renowned for being a skilled {{contortionist}} and using that flexibility to perform many acrobatic sex acts.
201* MsFanservice: Due to being a scantily clad prostitute played by a real-life contortionist. We see all her fantastic skills.
202* SexGoddess: She's a skilled lover due to [[FlexibilityEqualsSexAbility her flexibility]] and is known as one of the few women in the known world who can bend her body to the extent that she can perform the "[[ComicSutra Meereenese Knot]]".

216An orphan living in King's Landing recruited by Yoren to join the Night's Watch. A former baker's apprentice and later travelling companion of Gendry and Arya Stark.
217----
218* AdaptationDyeJob: In the books, he has "straw-colored" hair. Here it's dark brown.
219* BadassBoast: All of them fake.
220* BadLiar: Arya sees through his attempts to lie. He does manage to grow out of this in Season 4, when he glibly dismisses the Starks as all traitors and denies any knowledge of them to Brienne and Podrick until he can be sure he can trust them.
221%%* BigFun
222* BoisterousWeakling: He's too confident for his own good at first. He gets better.
223* TheBully: [[BullyingADragon Briefly]], to [[LittleMissBadass Arya]]. When shit gets real, Hot Pie gradually grows out of his old bullying tendencies and becomes a friend to Arya and Gendry.
224* TheBusCameBack:
225** In Season 4, Brienne and Pod happen to stop at the same inn, and upon hearing they're looking for Arya's sister he points them in the right direction. He's also gotten much better at making wolf-shaped bread.
226** He returns once again in Season 7 and reunites with Arya after she returned from Braavos and stops by the inn he is working.
227* ButtMonkey: Becomes the butt of the joke many times.
228* BringMyBrownPants: At Harrenhal he makes eye contact with Mountain, figuring it will keep him safe from being picked for interrogation. He wets his pants when he realizes that it does not make a difference, even though he escapes torture.
229* DefeatMeansFriendship: He is way more friendly to Arya and Gendry in the second season. Although some of that is probably fear.
230* DirtyCoward: Hot Pie talks a big game, but he's quick to yell, "I yieeeeld!!!" at the first sign of danger. Any bravery he exhibits is usually luck.
231* EarnYourHappyEnding: He goes through a ''lot'', along with Arya and Gendry, but in the end, he's one of the few characters to leave the story in a nonviolent manner, becoming a baker at a quiet, out-of-the-way inn. In Season 7, he's still there, still happy with his job, and still eager to discuss his craft with anyone who will listen. At this point, he is literally the only character in the series who has gained any sort of happy ending.
232%%FatBastard
233* FatIdiot: While he does become a better person with time, he remains a dunce throughout.
234* TheFunnyGuy: Hot Pie gradually becomes this.
235* HumbleGoal: He only wants to be a baker.
236* IChooseToStay: In the inn the Brotherhood takes the trio after capturing them.
237* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: At first glance he's a malicious bully, but a healthy overdose of trauma sets him right and he winds up becoming one of the nicest characters in the series. His bullying was really all bluster, presumably a method of survival in the dog-eat-dog world of Westeros.
238* KidsAreCruel: Originally, he was very nasty. He gets better once he is scared out of his bullying tendencies.
239* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: Introduced in the first season finale "Fire and Blood" as a member of Yoren's party of Night's Watch recruits.
240* TheLoad: Arya is clever and ruthless. Gendry is strong and level-headed. Hot Pie...knows how to bake. In his defense, he ''is'' pretty good at it. Also justified because he used to be a baker's poor apprentice. He has no training in combat, so you can't exactly expect him to be able to fight any better beyond throwing stale bread at people.
241* LogicalFallacies: This magnificent exchange from [[Recap/GameOfThronesS2E3WhatIsDeadMayNeverDie "What Is Dead May Never Die"]].

251'''Arya:''' Gendry's an armourer's apprentice. Hot Pie, tell Gendry what makes a fight into a battle.\
252'''Hot Pie:''' It's, uh, when they've got armour on.\
253'''Gendry:''' And who told you that?\
254'''Hot Pie:''' [[AppealToAuthority A knight.]]\
255'''Gendry:''' How'd you know he was a knight?\
256'''Hot Pie:''' Wells, [[AssociationFallacy cause he's got a-armour on.]]\
257'''Gendry:''' You don't have to be a knight to have armour. Any idiot can buy armour!\
258'''Hot Pie:''' How'd you know?\
259'''Gendry:''' Because I sold armour!
260* NiceGuy: Develops into this at the latter end of Season 3 where his interactions with Arya show he has completely shrugged off his former jerkassery, and in Season 4, he is depicted as a thoroughly good natured and loyal individual.
261* NonActionGuy: Hot Pie is hardly named for his fighting prowess. On the rare occasion he gets close to fighting himself, he gets steamrolled.
262* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: We never learn his real name.
263* PowerTrio: With Arya and Gendry, of the TwoGuysAndAGirl variety. In contrast to the usual variation, however, Hot Pie is clearly TheLoad.
264* PutOnABus: He chooses to stay and work at an inn baking instead of continuing on with Arya, Gendry, and the Brotherhood.
265%%* ShooOutTheClowns: A nonviolent example.
266* StaringDownCthulhu: One of the prisoners in Harrenhal tells him this is a sure way not to get picked for torture by the Mountain. Hot Pie lives to tell the tale. The other kid doesn't.
267* SupremeChef: Hot Pie's skill as a cook is his greatest—and perhaps only—talent, and it [[EarnYourHappyEnding earns him]] the series' one and only legitimate happy ending.
268* ThoseTwoGuys: With Lommy Greenhands, until Lommy's death-by-Polliver.
269* TooDumbToLive: Averted; he's stupid but he actually manages to survive in spite of himself. Someone tells him that the way to avoid being chosen by the Mountain is to look straight at him; this is a lie with no evidence and clearly not worth the risk to find out, but Hot Pie does it anyway. The Mountain ends up choosing someone else out of pure chance.
270* TookALevelInBadass: Staring down the Mountain is an act of incredible badassery, and also probably one of audacious stupidity. It's perhaps played a little straighter when he undergoes not inconsiderable risk to help Brienne and Pod. He faces no immediate danger, but it still took serious guts especially when there was no real benefit to him.
271* TookALevelInKindness: Formerly a childhood bully, he gets better after Arya snaps him out of it.
272* UndyingLoyalty: Eventually he becomes steadfastly loyal to Arya. When he appears in Season 4, he helps Brienne and Podrick despite knowing full-well how dangerous it is to help the Starks in the post-Red Wedding climate, with no hope of reward.

279!!!'''Played By:''' Emun Elliot
280
281A travelling troubadour and singer.
282----
283* AdaptationalHeroism: His book counterpart tries to rape Sansa, plays music to drown out her screams when Lysa is about to shove her out the Moon Door, and it's implied he's a SerialRapist, judging by all the servants Lysa keeps dismissing for "telling lies" about him. Here, he's a {{Jerkass}} at the very worst.
284* AssholeVictim: A non-fatal example. Marillion is a smug cockhead, but it is slightly satisfying to see him go through the trauma that comes with sticking close to the main characters.
285* ButtMonkey: If it's bad, he's the victim of it.
286* CompositeCharacter: Marillion's mutilation at King Joffrey's orders for a song that ridicules King Robert happens to an unidentified troubadour in the books.
287* DemotedToExtra: He's pivotal to the plot of ''A Storm of Swords'''s penultimate chapter, while he's never seen beyond Season 1 in the show.
288* ExactWords: ''"I'll never sing it again, I swear!"'' No, Marillion, you certainly won't. As a side note, you may want to cancel your future gigs.
289* {{Jerkass}}: Marillion is a smug wanker much of the time, although he hardly deserves some of the horrible things that happen to him.
290* SadisticChoice: One of his songs earns the wrath of King Joffrey because it ridicules the late King Robert's death, his mother and Joffrey himself. Joffrey forces him to choose between losing his tongue or his hands. After Marillion states that every man needs hands, Ser Ilyn Payne cuts out his tongue.
291* TagalongKid: Tags along with Catelyn Stark to the Eyrie, as part of his WanderingMinstrel job. He gets the chance to pick on Tyrion.
292-->'''Marillion''': ''(singing)'' ''On that eve, the captive Imp, downwards from his horse did limp, no longer will he preen and primp, in garb of red and gold''
293* TongueTrauma: He gets his tongue ripped out by Ser Ilyn Payne.
294* TooDumbToLive: Singing a song that insults both of the young king's parents and makes fun of his father's recent death, ''to'' the king? Really???
295** Though to be fair, his demeanor implies that he'd been overheard somewhere singing that particular song, word had gotten to Joffrey, and the king had summoned him to the Red Keep to hear the song for himself. At that point the poor minstrel hardly had a choice.
296* WanderingMinstrel: His main profession is to stick close to whatever drama is going on and write songs about it.

303!!!'''Played By:''' Eros Vlahos
304
305An orphan living in King's Landing recruited by Yoren to join the Night's Watch. A former dyer's apprentice arrested for thieving.
306----
307* AlasPoorVillain: Even though he was nasty and cruel, Arya is appalled by his death, and avenges him specifically when she confronts and kills Polliver in the same way that he killed Lommy, even referring to him as "[[UnreliableNarrator my friend]]".
308* TheArtifact: In the books, his name was Lommy Greenhands because his arms were dyed green from being apprenticed to a dyer. Show Lommy has the same name, but not the green hands.
309* BloodFromTheMouth: A result of being impaled through the neck, no less.
310* TheBully: Of the "auxiliary" type. He threatens his victims with Hot Pie's hitting them, not himself.
311* DeathOfAChild: He's murdered by Polliver.
312* FatAndSkinny: He's the skinny to Hot Pie's fat, while they're a villainous duo
313* ILied: After seeing that he has an arrow stuck on his leg, a Lannister swordsman named Polliver tells him that he'll carry him. Instead, he sticks Needle, which he had just stolen from Arya, through Lommy's throat.
314* {{Jerkass}}: It comes with being TheBully.
315* KidsAreCruel: Threatens Arya with Hot Pie's bullying of them.
316* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: Introduced alongside Hot Pie in the first season finale.
317* PragmaticAdaptation: In the books, Lommy is injured in the first battle but escapes along with Arya, Gendry and Hot Pie. Many chapters later, they are captured and Lommy is killed. The show gets rid of the {{padding}} by injuring and killing Lommy right away.
318* StreetUrchin: Being an orphan, this is what he was before Yoren got him for the Night's Watch.

326!!!'''Played By:''' Roy Dotrice
327
328->''"[[DudeWheresMyRespect Our Order does not deal in pig shit!]]"''
329
330The head of the Alchemists' Guild. Also known as Hallyne the Pyromancer.
331----
332* AbsentmindedProfessor: He's not always focused.
333* BunnyEarsLawyer: Hallyne is absent-minded, ranting and reclusive...he's also partially responsible for winning the Battle of the Blackwater. And to think he has the power to burn the whole capital city to the ground...
334* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome[=/=]DemotedToExtra: Kind of. In the books he's present at the victory ceremony after the Battle of the Blackwater, in which he's awarded a Lordship (though no lands or keeps) for the wildfire trap -- which was actually Tyrion's idea.
335* DudeWheresMyRespect: During his discussion with Bronn he mentions that during the times of Aerys he wouldn't have been insulted. Of course, since burning things with fire was one of Aerys' favourite past-times, the two probably got on like [[ObligatoryJoke a house on fire!]]
336* EvenEvilHasStandards: He's a pyromaniac who worked for King Aerys, but a throwaway line implies that even he wouldn't try to see if the proverb "piss on wildfire, [[GroinAttack and your cock burns off]]" is true.
337* LargeHam: It fits the MadScientist portrayal.
338* MadScientist: During the Battle of Blackwater, he's laughing his arse off.
339* {{Pride}}: He's extremely proud of his Order and his wildfire, and becomes highly offended when he's given less than his due.
340* {{Pyromaniac}}: Hallyne is a little too enthusiastic about the properties of wildfire. For good measure, when the wildfire's finally used during the siege at King's Landing, while everyone else is staring at the resulting explosion in horror and amazement (except Joffrey), Hallyne is grinning and giggling to himself.
341* WizardBeard: He grows quite an impressive one.

349
350A master armourer and blacksmith living in the city of King's Landing.
351----
352* TheAce: A blacksmithing example:
353--> '''Thoros of Myr:''' That criminal...he charges twice as much as every other armourer in the city!\
354'''Gendry:''' That's because he's twice as good.
355* TheBlacksmith: He's a somewhat well-known and talented blacksmith in King's Landing.
356* ColdBloodedTorture: Averted. After Joffrey orders all of Robert's bastards to be killed, he is threatened by the Gold Cloaks with burning his face on the embers if he doesn't reveal Gendry's whereabouts. He does and escapes unharmed.
357* TheMentor: To Gendry. He trained the boy in smithing, and considering Gendry's talent, Mott did a damn good job of it.
358* ParentalSubstitute: Again, to Gendry, who's a bastard of Robert with a MissingMom.
359* ShooTheDog: Implied to have done this to protect Gendry.

370----
371* AintTooProudToBeg: According to Sandor while he's trying to get Arya to mercy kill him.
372* DeathOfAChild: He's killed by the Hound.
373* ForgottenFallenFriend: Massively averted. Arya never forgets Mycah, and his unjust death at the hands of the Hound keeps her hatred for Sandor Clegane alive. She brings up Mycah at the Hound's 'trial' in "Kissed By Fire"; and Sandor even brings up Mycah's unjust demise at his hands as a means to taunt and provoke Arya to kill him off, in his wounded state in "The Children".

382The innkeeper at the Crossroads Inn.
383----
384* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Looks like a normal old lady in the series. In the books, she's described in rather unflattering terms by Catelyn and her teeth are apparently stained red from chewing sourleaf (probably Westerosi tobacco).
385* TheBartender: Just a simple innkeeper.
386* SparedByTheAdaptation: In the books, she's hanged for letting Tyrion be kidnapped after Tywin's forces take the inn as a base of operations; whereas in the TV series the Lannister forces set up a base somewhere in the Riverlands east of the Trident.

397
398A woods witch and reputed fortune teller living in a hut in the woods near Lannisport.
399----
400* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Maggy the Frog is described in the books as old, squat and warty, with crusty yellow eyes, no teeth, and pale green jowls. Here she's blond, young, and attractive despite her dirty appearance.
401* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: She sternly warns Cersei that she might not like what she hears. Cersei being Cersei, she doesn't heed that advice.
402* BloodMagic: How she operates.
403* DeathByAdaptation: In the books, her fate beyond Cersei's encounter is never explored beyond Kevan Lannister mentionin offhand she's likely dead, but one of the Lore Extras for the show indicates that she eventually succumbed to Randyll Tarly's harsh brand of justice.
404* EvilLaugh: Has a very creepy one of these. [[EvenEvilHasStandards Even the young Cersei is spooked by it]].
405* ExactWords: Maggy tends to deal in this kind of fortune-telling. She'll tell you the truth, but it not might be the truth as you understand it.
406* HermitGuru: She lives alone in the woods, with her only visitors being those who want to make use of her powers.
407* HotWitch: Due to her AdaptationalAttractiveness she's played by a conventionally attractive actress, albeit dirtied up.
408* KickTheSonOfABitch: She takes slightly sadistic pleasure in telling Cersei her unpleasant future, but she ''had'' just threatened to have Maggy's eyes gouged out.
409* RaceLift: In the books she's Essosi. The show make her a Westerosi
410* RuleOfThree: Spill some blood, and you can ask Maggy three questions.
411-->'''Maggy''': You get three questions. You won't like the answers.
412* SolitarySorceress: She lives in an isolated cabin in the forests near Casterly Rock.
413* UncertainDoom: According to Samwell, she may have been killed by his father Randyll during his hunts.
