One of Game of Thrones<\/em>‘ most beloved characters, Lyanna Mormont, was only supposed to have one scene. But when the world\u2014including series creators D.B. Weiss<\/strong> and David Benioff<\/strong>\u2014met Bella Ramsey<\/strong>, that changed.<\/p>\n

“Lyanna Mormont was supposed to be a one scene character, and then we met Bella Ramsey and realized we would not be doing our jobs if we kept her as a one scene character,” Weiss said<\/a>. “We knew that you can’t give a big death to everybody who dies in this battle because it would’ve been too much, but also if she were to die, there was no way to not make a moment of it so that’s where the zombie giant comes in.”<\/p>\n

Ramsey, 16, paid tribute to her beloved character on Instagram.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“I had a song in my head during the filming of episode three…Every Giant Will Fall by @rendcollective it basically sums it all up. I’m overwhelmed by the response, thank you so so much,” she wrote. “‘I will not hide underground. I pledged to fight for the North, and I will fight.’ RIP Lyanna #gameofthrones #everygiantwillfall #lyannamormont.”<\/p>\n

Weiss said the zombie giant added a whole new level of complexity to the big moment, and was needed to “give one of the strongest smaller people in the show a chance to out taking down one of the strongest larger things we’ve ever seen on the show.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

In an interview ahead of her character’s death, Ramsey said she’d miss one key part about her character: “I think the opportunity to stand up in front of a load of grown men and shame them,” Ramsay told The Cut<\/a>. “I think playing confident characters also helps with your own confidence. Say you’re in a situation where you’re feeling anxious or nervous\u2014you can become a character and work through it that way. I’ll miss that about her.”<\/p>\n
