In"The Broken Man " episode ofGame of Thrones , we eventually met Lyanna Mormont , the Lady of Bear Island and niece ofthe lateJeor Mormont , Lord Commander of the Night ’s Watch . Her only tantrum in the sequence lasted just three minute , but that was all this 10 - twelvemonth - old spitfire need to slip the whole shebang .
Lady Mormont , play by newbie Bella Ramsey , proved that juvenility is no excuse for poor leaders ( * coughTOMMENcough * ) . The pint - size actress nailed the commanding position necessary to survive and thrive in the reality ofThrones . Twitter lit up over her noncompliant speech to Jon , Sansa , and Davos ' request for sustenance on the battlefield .

" We were excited about the medical prognosis of the character , because she ’s mentioned in blow over in the former season , " co - showrunner D.B. Weiss tells us in the after - sequence commentary . " The more we call up about it , Jon is gon na come in up against so many old guys with byssus in the North , that , like , what if she was a tougher interview ? "
Tough does n’t even begin to describe Ramsey ’s performance . Weiss added , " It also was terrifying because it ’s putting a mountain of dramatic weight on the shoulders of somebody who need to be very young , and we ’re very golden to have found Bella because she is doing such a great job of just talking smack to these hombre who are used to being the heroes who make proclamation . "
And he was n’t the only one blow away : as co - executive producer Bryan Cogman say in aninterview withEntertainment Weekly , " Bella is a wonderful vernal actress – the whole cast of characters and crew were very impressed . I think , much like the character does with Jon , Sansa , and Davos , Bella kept Kit , Sophie , and Liam on their toes ! "
After her appearance on the human race ’s most talked - about series , which also saw the young actress rally the scout troop of the North in support of KING Jon Snow , Bella is on the verge of TV stardom . She ’s star in the TV adaption of the1986 moviebased on Jill Murphy ’s record book seriesThe Worst Witch , which debuts next year on the kiddie offshoot of the BBC . It ’s currentlyfilming in Cheshire , England , and undisclosed locations in Germany . Bella has n’t revealed any part beyond that one – but hey , she ’s already accomplished a muckle more than we had when we were in degree school .
So let ’s say it together : Lyanna Mormont , by elbow room of Bella Ramsey , won Season 6 ofGame of Thrones . And if you want to disaccord , beware : we bring an U. S. Army .
