The Resume

    (February 9, 1987- )
    Born in Aberdeen, Scotland
    Ygritte on Game of Thrones (as of 2nd season), Gwen Dawson on Downton Abbey, and Maia Rindell on The Good Fight
    Descendant of Charles II of England (17th-century King of England and Scotland)
    Mrs. Kit Harington (2018– )

Why she might be annoying:

    She claims no fewer than six different ethnic backgrounds — including a Mexican paternal great-grandmother.
    She loves whale blubber.
    At first glance, it wouldn’t be hard to imagine a Scottish Kristen Stewart.
    Though nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award in 2013, it was for the whole of the Thrones cast (which they didn’t win, anyway).
    She is afraid of spiders.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She is a fan of Cate Blanchett and Kate Winslet.
    She is a natural redhead — something she was not initially proud of.
    Having lived in France for a few years, she became fluent in French — and lost her original accent in the process.
    She credits her time on Thrones – whose crew sent her off with her character’s signature arms – for her love of archery.
    But she did snag a British Academy Scotland New Talent Award for Best Acting Performance (New Town, 2009).
