RANDOM CHARACTERS FROM THE MEDIA I WATCH WHO REMIND ME OF ASOIAF

→ ALISON PILL as PRINCESS MAUDE (The Pillars of the Earth) as LYSA TULLY ARRYN (YOUNG)

Lysa was a pretty, slender, high-breasted girl in her youth, dimpled and delicate. She has grown thick of body by her early thirties, however, as a result of her many pregnancies, miscarriages and stillbirths.[...] She has the blue eyes of House Tully, but they are pale and watery. Lysa has a small, petulant mouth, and her beautiful auburn hair falls thickly down to her waist.

+ Pill was about 24 when filming this, so this would work for the “early in her marriage to Jon Arryn” to Greyjoy Rebellion period

+ lots of blue/white dresses!

Lyanna Stark Fancast Resource

"Lyanna is described by a couple of people as beautiful. Though Maester Yandel describes her as "a wild and boyish young thing with none of the Princess Elia's delicate beauty", Kevan Lannister recalls Lyanna having a "wild beauty" about her. According to her brother Eddard Stark, Lyanna had been a child-woman of surpassing loveliness. She was slim of frame. Arya Stark, with her brown hair, long face and grey eyes, resembles Lyanna in appearance, according to Eddard. Margaery Tyrell, also brown of hair, is believed by some to resemble Lyanna, though Eddard disagrees." (x)

Also, though Lyanna is often fancast (fancasted?) as an adult, she was canonically only 16 when she died.

MACKENZIE FOY - CLARA (THE NUTCRACKER AND THE FOUR REALMS)

Mackenzie Foy is probably my favorite fancast for Lyanna. She really fits my mental image of her, including the fiery attitude. Nutcracker and the Four Realms has Victorian fantasy costumes rather than medieval or Renaissance fantasy, but it still works pretty well in my opinion. Mackenzie was roughly 16 during filming.

HAILEE STEINFELD - JULIET (ROMEO & JULIET)

Hailee Steinfeld is one of my favorite fancasts for Lyanna for many of the same reasons I like her for Margaery. She was 16 when filming R&J and has a great mix of sweetness and feistiness in the role. The costume design in the film fits Westerosi fashion well, and there’s a lot of good content since she’s playing the film’s lead.

GEORGIE HENLEY -  LUCY PEVENSIE (PRINCE CASPIAN and THE VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TREADER)

Georgie was 12/13 when filming Prince Caspian and 14/15 when filming The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. She has plenty of footage great medievalish clothing in both films (although her clothing in the latter is more masculine). I particularly like to use her for content involving Ned, because Skandar Keynes plays her older brother in both films and makes a great Ned.

OLIVIA HUSSEY - JULIET (ROMEO & JULIET)

Another Juliet! Olivia is a common fancast for Lyanna, and I like her as well. She was 15 when she began filming Zeffirelli's Romeo & Juliet. She has several different outfits and plenty of footage.

ANAMARIA VARTOLOMEI - LOUISE ELISABETH (THE ROYAL EXCHANGE)

Anamaria isn't a fancast I've ever personally used, but I love other people's content of her, and I will probably use her at some point in the future. She was roughly 17 when filming The Royal Exchange (titled L'echange des princesses in French), and she's particularly good for content focused on Lyanna's rebellious side, since she just looks so pissed off for so much of the movie.

CASSIDY - SELAH (THE OTHER LAMB)

Raffey is a much more common fancast for Arya, usually using her younger footage from Snow White and the Huntsman, but I like her for Lyanna as well. She doesn't have any explicitly period films as a teenager, but she was roughly 15 when filming The Other Lamb, and if you get a little creative, she still has a usable aesthetic.

ALICIA AGNESON - KATIA (VIKINGS)

Alicia is technically too old for Lyanna, having played Katia at ~24, but I do like her anyway because she just has such a spot-on aesthetic. Be aware that she appeared as a different character earlier in the show, but with blonde hair.

JESSICA BROWN-FINDLAY - ALAIS PELLETIER DU MAS (LABYRINTH)

Also slightly too old, roughly 22 during filming, Jessica is still a fancast I like a lot for Lyanna. She's easy to pair with many Arya fancasts for comparisons, and the costuming for Labyrinth is actually medieval, which can be tough to find.

ADELAIDE KANE - MARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS (REIGN)

Adelaide is another one who's too old for Lyanna, being in her 20s during production of Reign, but she's a common fancast and does fit Lyanna's aesthetic well. There's also an abundance of useful footage of her, since she played the lead in a 5-season show set during the Renaissance.

As usual, feel free to add your own! The full set of fancast posts can be found here.
