True Knight (Brienne of Tarth/Gwendoline Christie) #2: Because "Brienne of Tarth is a badass" - Gwen
Brienne the Maid of Tarth/Gwendoline Christie Thread  The Wenchgaurd:
"I think it’s a really inspirational character to have on a programme of this type, because there hasn’t been that sort of character in a mainstream show before, particularly one that’s defying so many gender stereotypes and hopefully it’s a very inspirational character for women.” -Gwendoline Christie Links: Gwendoline Christie - IMDb Gwendoline Christie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Not A Blog - The Maid of Tarth Ask Brienne [center] "This was another one of those cases where there was hardly any debate. The day the first batch of auditions went up for the role, we looked at a dozen actresses who were reading for Brienne and one actress who WAS Brienne. Gwendoline gave a great reading, and her look was just perfect. No, when she auditioned, she did not look she does in the photo above. She came in looking... well, like Brienne." -GRRM Scene of the Moment: Future title suggestions: because she is the GODDESS OF BADASSERY. because she has an inner beauty that shines right through her. "The character is very close to my heart - - It’s a dream part for me." "She’s got an incredibly interesting journey ahead, but I think Brienne gets to experience more of her femininity…" "She starts to experience more about what it is to be a woman, the complexity of love and all its forms" "The journey that she goes on — it’s so intense. There’s so much action, there is so much fighting that the most extraordinary situations occur." Because she broke Ser Humfrey’s collarbone, two ribs, and their betrothal. "Ser. My lady." Past Threads: http://www.fanforum.com/f364/true-kn...grrm-63015691/ "Winter will never come for the likes of us. Should we die in battle, they will surely sing of us, and it’s always summer in the songs. In the songs all knights are gallant, all maids are beautiful, and the sun is always shining." - Brienne of Tarth __________________

New thread, timed perfectly with her introduction!
   -x- ETA: luna, can you please add the link to Brienne's first thread in the OP? Sometimes I like to reminisce...  __________________

Thank ya ma'am!!
 Humfrey Wagstaff was his name; a proud old man of five-and-sixty, with a nose like a hawk and a spotted head. The day they were betrothed, he warned Brienne that he would expect her to be a proper woman once they’d wed. “I will not have my lady wife cavorting about in man’s mail. On this you shall obey me, lest I be forced to chastise you.” She was sixteen and no stranger to a sword, but still shy despite her prowess in the yard. Yet somehow she had found the courage to tell Ser Humfrey that she would accept chastisement only from a man who could outfight her. The old knight purpled, but agreed to don his own armor to teach her a woman’s proper place. They fought with blunted tourney weapons, so Brienne’s mace had no spikes. She broke Ser Humfrey’s collarbone, two ribs, and their betrothal. He was her third prospective husband, and her last. Her father did not insist again.   -x- I knew the arts would flow once she appeared on-screen...but I just can't stay off Tumblr! __________________

Hurray! TFTNT!
 We need more fans, though - only twelve? Come on, people, step right up and form an orderly line. There is Brienne art allll over my Tumblr dash and I couldn't be happier about it. I loved this art because you can see Cat's little smile:  (x) __________________

I like that smile... I guess perhaps we need to wait for the non-book fans a bit longer...

The new thread is beautiful. It's difficult to tear myself away from Tumblr also. BRIENNE!
