Val the Wildling Princess Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 This post was kinda predictable coming from me, huh? :D Anyway, I know it's soon for her to appear, she won't show up probably until season 4 if they split ASOS in 2 seasons but I love her character and I think she is important for the story of one of the main characters (not giving away too much info) so I'd love to hear your suggestions for the beautiful wildling princess.My choice is pretty clear since the very first time I read Val's description. Tabrett Bethell (who played badass Cara Mason on Legend of the seeker) is my Val. She is beautiful, hot and fierce. I cannot picture Val with another face :wub:http://25.media.tumb...jzdvgo1_500.gifhttp://25.media.tumb...4h6tdo2_250.gifhttp://26.media.tumb...i9v70o1_500.pnghttp://26.media.tumb...28z9so1_500.jpghttp://28.media.tumb...dewxbo1_500.pnghttp://26.media.tumb...hsmk5o4_500.pnghttp://28.media.tumb...i2rejo2_250.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelly Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Sure! She is very pretty, which Val is supposed to be! She also has this no nonsense look about her which is right because I definitely get that vibe from Val. Val is clearly a very independent woman and we need an actress who can emulate that as well.

I have seen her on Legend of the seeker and when I started reading about Val I couldn't imagine another playing her ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anvik Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 good choice, ever since i first saw your avatar I was wondering who that was, and why she reminded me so much of Val, lol :thumbsup: good job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tall Tyrion Lannister! Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Yeah she's close to how i imagined her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Salt_Wife Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Pretty much 95% of how I imagined her looking. I'd only make her a couple of years younger, but that's nitpicking when three quarters of the characters in the book have already been aged in the TV series.

Bastard of Boston Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I co-sign this. This is exactly who I pictured as Val while I was reading. Bridget Regan was Lyanna, heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd only make her a couple of years younger, but that's nitpicking when three quarters of the characters in the book have already been aged in the TV series.Yeah, Val's age is something that bothers me, do we know for sure how old is she? I imagine her being a few years older than Jon, maybe 25-26? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elenya Westerling Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 For some reason I've started to imagine Val as Isolde from Merlin S4 (Miranda Raison). Although after seeing Tabrett I think I've changed my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Salt_Wife Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 The great thing about McGrath is that there is something inherintly "wild" about her look that makes it easier to imagine her being a Wildling princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHedgeWizard Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 She looks perfect for Val. Even the artist's rendering on the Wiki looks just like her. Almost spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Meera Reed Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I love Legend of the Seeker & Cara's my favorite so I'd definitely enjoy seeing her in the show! She would be glorious as Val <3Tamsin Egerton (Camelot's Guinevere) is a popular choice by fans, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found her terrible on Camelot, like she only has a facial expression or maybe was her character that was really annoying. I like Tabrett better, she's much more beautiful and has that badass looks, in my opinion, of course, that's just a matter of taste ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Salt_Wife Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Tamsin's face is too "modern" for lack of a better word. You want characters who are believable in a fictional medieval fantasy setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncanthemedium Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Idk..Tabrett is pretty but she doesn't have that weirdly conflicting qualities of cleverness-yet-innocence, wild-yet-beautiful, strong-and-athletic-yet-weirdly-REGAL sense that I got from Val the character. I think in that respect, Tamsin pulls it off much better. And I still hold by my earlier assertion that Saffron Burrows would have made a better Cersei. *sigh*. i'd have revolted if I hadn't fallen in love with Lena Heady's Sarah Connor ages ago...

I think in that respect, Tamsin pulls it off much better.You don't really think Tabrett has all those qualities? It's OK, to each his own. I think she sums them all pretty well. She played a princess also in LOTS and she looked very regal, even though the outfit was awful :D I'm gonna be really disappointed if Tabrett isn't cast as Val. I suppose that the fact that she is not english is her biggest "flaw" for the role though :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter's Lady Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Sooo I saw an old episode of Lost last night, and I thought that Emily de Ravin could be a candidate for Val? I'm not really sure if she can pull off the badass part, but I think she has the right look to start with. Let's not forget that everybody thinks she looks like a highborn lady, it's her personality that's badass^^.She'd be my second choice after Tabrett (Cara FTW!).

Paola Graciano Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Teresa Palmer totally looks like Val to me. She's 26 but could fit perfectly.http://wpc.556e.edgecastcdn.net/80556E/img.site/PHoTerruiX6Ysp_1_m.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
