Rangers30 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Plus you KNOW if they kept her name the same the TWoP peeps would be speculating that Asha and Osha were sisters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightwisp1956 Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 The girl which was chosen to play Asha/Yara seems young for the character but appearance-wise she fits well. Her last name sounds very familiar--I've heard of several actors with that last name. I'm sure she will do a great job playing Asha who is a strong spirited woman.

Songlian Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Ugh. Why not Yasha, then? That was more similar to Ahsa than Yara. Eh. The cast I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iotun Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 terrible news, if that means there won't be Jojen and MeeraEh, why would it mean no Jojen and Meera? The 3 are fairly unrelated characters, and J & M are both central characters for Bran's storyline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bastard of Driftmark Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Has this been annouced/hinted through any official sources? I ask because the original source - the actress' online CV - has now removed the info...(unless I'm missing it?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leold Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 A good casting I think, though I wish they'd kept the name Asha as I think it sounds way better than Yara. Being a good swimmer is a plus that I'd expect the character would be as well. But how is she at axe throwing/finger dancing? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Has this been annouced/hinted through any official sources? I ask because the original source - the actress' online CV - has now removed the info...(unless I'm missing it?)There are several potential reasons for this. One is that she's been cast, but there's supposed to be an official announcement by someone and they've withdrawn the info. The other is that she auditioned and someone got the wrong end of the stick and thought she'd been cast.So yeah, no 100% confirmation yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarantella Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 So much hating on the name. I don't like that they're renaming her either, but still, it's a perfectly fine name, as names go.Plus you KNOW if they kept her name the same the TWoP peeps would be speculating that Asha and Osha were sisters.Now people won't be speculating that Asha and Osha are sisters, but they might start speculating that Yara and Arya are sisters... what a mess that would be.

Jayuk83 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 So they changed her name, eh? Wasn't it me who said that had happened on another thread before several people doubted me? Hehe. :-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahimiron Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 They should have renamed her Flthwpquak'pfarl'gar. That way she wouldn't be confused with anyone else.That, or Gertrude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Hilltwaithe Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Don't really care much either way about the new name, but it's funny, Yara is a Norwegian company that makes artificial fertilizer. They took their name from "jardar", old norse for "a good harvest/good year for crops". We do not sow, indeed...... AND their company logo is a viking longship. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yara_InternationalWhat a queer conincidence. I always fancied picturing the ironlord's vessels as viking longships, given their history of coastal raiding and all.This is not to say I approve of the name change. I hope the rumour turns out to be false! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wandalay Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I don't see the problem with a name-change..I mean, it doesn't really change ANYTHING of the Story, it's just a name... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huan Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Asha Yara = Tasha Yar. This is Martin's way of saying Asha will be killed by a sludge monster.Tasha Yar was exactly who I thought of when I heard Yara! Hopefully this actress has better chops.
