Asha Greyjoy, called Raya Greyjoy in the play, Theon 's sister, the only daughter of King Balon, and an excellent iron warrior. The character in the
play has had her sexual orientation changed. She wants to show that she is better at fighting than men, but I feel that the screenwriter is using too much force, so there is no need to change it like this. Isn't it more contrasting to respect the original work? In the original book, Asha is about 20 years old, with a slender body, long legs, short black hair, skin chapped by the wind, and strong hands. Theon thought her nose was too big for her thin face, but her smile made up for it. Therefore, Asha should be a slender and brave woman. The actors in the play are older, and Asha is slightly older.
specially wrote Asha out because this character is very representative among the few female characters in Game of Thrones. There are not many women in Game of Thrones who can solve problems by force: Erya, Brienne, the mother and daughter of the Bear family, savage Ygritte and several illegitimate daughters of Don Oberon. Among them, Erya has a stunt with her own protagonist halo and skill BUFF, which is no longer among ordinary people; Brienne and the mother and daughter of the Xiong family mainly show the honor of knights and loyalty to the lord from the perspective of vassals; Ygritte was born for freedom, showing a natural and casual side; Oberon's illegitimate daughters aimed at revenge, but when they understood Dao Lang's big plan, they all obeyed the arrangement with the overall situation as the top priority. It is the unity of a family.
Only Asha, because she was clearly trained as an heir, is superior to ordinary men in terms of force. At the same time, as a leader, she also has the ability to consider the overall interests of the iron people from the perspective of the lord, and dare to carry out "the ancient way". Courage and determination to challenge.
Asha's appearance begins when Theon returns to the Iron Islands , and Asha pretends to be a fisherwoman and deceives Theon all the way. Obviously, Asha discovered Theon's weakness with a simple test, so whether it is from the family relationship between siblings or the obedience relationship between monarchs and ministers, Theon is a "younger brother". In the process of raiding the northern border, Asha directed the ironmen to occupy the strongholds such as Deepwood Castle and Torren's Square City, which were relatively close to the coastline. Stationed at Winterfell.
The Greyjoy family motto is: Strong is better than hard work. For thousands of years, the ironmen who believed in the Drowned God highly respected the tradition of looting and called it "the ancient way". Although Aegon the Conqueror abolished the "Old Way" of the Ironborn and prohibited them from looting the continent of Westeros , most ironmen still miss the "Old Way".
Asha sees something different outside the "Ancient Way". At the king election, Asha brought the pebbles of the Rocky Shore, the pine cones of Deepwood, and the turnips of Winterfell, pointing out that the ironborn had plundered nothing more than with the blood and life of their sons and husbands. Thus, Asha's campaign speech was different, "Peace. Land. Fruits of victory. I will bring you Sea Dragon and Rocky Shores, Black Earth, Great Forest, and enough stone for every boy to build a hall. We also Will have Northlanders...as friends, against the Iron Throne side by side. There are two paths before me: crown me, peace and victory; choose my uncle, more wars and more defeats. Do you think What do you want, irons?"
personally think that Asha can match Daenerys in terms of queen quality. It's just that Asha doesn't have the blessing of the three dragons, so she can only rely on herself everywhere. She has no obsession with the crown. From the perspective of winning Victarion in the king election and surrendering Stannis in north , as long as she can bring her the land and peace of the Ironborn, let her be the hand of the king Or you can become a vassal lord of one party, which is very generous.
Imagine Nymeria, who gave up her homeland a thousand years ago and crossed all ships in Westeros. Isn't she the same woman who doesn't care about the crown and just wants to find a peaceful place for her people?
