Lyanna Mormont has been one of the heroes of Game of Thrones since her introduction in season six.
As the Lady of Bear Island, she has been one of the key supporters of the Starks and was the first to support Jon Snow’s claim as the King in the North.
Her mother had originally become the Lady of Bear Island after her brother Jeor Mormont joined the Night’s Watch and his son Jorah was exiled and later joined the service of Daenerys.

Since then her bravery and firm stance with the other northern lords has made her a favourite among viewers.
