Lyanna Stark Fancast Resource

"Lyanna is described by a couple of people as beautiful. Though Maester Yandel describes her as "a wild and boyish young thing with none of the Princess Elia's delicate beauty", Kevan Lannister recalls Lyanna having a "wild beauty" about her. According to her brother Eddard Stark, Lyanna had been a child-woman of surpassing loveliness. She was slim of frame. Arya Stark, with her brown hair, long face and grey eyes, resembles Lyanna in appearance, according to Eddard. Margaery Tyrell, also brown of hair, is believed by some to resemble Lyanna, though Eddard disagrees." (x)

Also, though Lyanna is often fancast (fancasted?) as an adult, she was canonically only 16 when she died.

MACKENZIE FOY - CLARA (THE NUTCRACKER AND THE FOUR REALMS)

Mackenzie Foy is probably my favorite fancast for Lyanna. She really fits my mental image of her, including the fiery attitude. Nutcracker and the Four Realms has Victorian fantasy costumes rather than medieval or Renaissance fantasy, but it still works pretty well in my opinion. Mackenzie was roughly 16 during filming.

HAILEE STEINFELD - JULIET (ROMEO & JULIET)

Hailee Steinfeld is one of my favorite fancasts for Lyanna for many of the same reasons I like her for Margaery. She was 16 when filming R&J and has a great mix of sweetness and feistiness in the role. The costume design in the film fits Westerosi fashion well, and there’s a lot of good content since she’s playing the film’s lead.

GEORGIE HENLEY -  LUCY PEVENSIE (PRINCE CASPIAN and THE VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TREADER)

Georgie was 12/13 when filming Prince Caspian and 14/15 when filming The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. She has plenty of footage great medievalish clothing in both films (although her clothing in the latter is more masculine). I particularly like to use her for content involving Ned, because Skandar Keynes plays her older brother in both films and makes a great Ned.

OLIVIA HUSSEY - JULIET (ROMEO & JULIET)

Another Juliet! Olivia is a common fancast for Lyanna, and I like her as well. She was 15 when she began filming Zeffirelli's Romeo & Juliet. She has several different outfits and plenty of footage.

ANAMARIA VARTOLOMEI - LOUISE ELISABETH (THE ROYAL EXCHANGE)

Anamaria isn't a fancast I've ever personally used, but I love other people's content of her, and I will probably use her at some point in the future. She was roughly 17 when filming The Royal Exchange (titled L'echange des princesses in French), and she's particularly good for content focused on Lyanna's rebellious side, since she just looks so pissed off for so much of the movie.

CASSIDY - SELAH (THE OTHER LAMB)

Raffey is a much more common fancast for Arya, usually using her younger footage from Snow White and the Huntsman, but I like her for Lyanna as well. She doesn't have any explicitly period films as a teenager, but she was roughly 15 when filming The Other Lamb, and if you get a little creative, she still has a usable aesthetic.

ALICIA AGNESON - KATIA (VIKINGS)

Alicia is technically too old for Lyanna, having played Katia at ~24, but I do like her anyway because she just has such a spot-on aesthetic. Be aware that she appeared as a different character earlier in the show, but with blonde hair.

JESSICA BROWN-FINDLAY - ALAIS PELLETIER DU MAS (LABYRINTH)

Also slightly too old, roughly 22 during filming, Jessica is still a fancast I like a lot for Lyanna. She's easy to pair with many Arya fancasts for comparisons, and the costuming for Labyrinth is actually medieval, which can be tough to find.

ADELAIDE KANE - MARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS (REIGN)

Adelaide is another one who's too old for Lyanna, being in her 20s during production of Reign, but she's a common fancast and does fit Lyanna's aesthetic well. There's also an abundance of useful footage of her, since she played the lead in a 5-season show set during the Renaissance.

As usual, feel free to add your own! The full set of fancast posts can be found here.

“Promise me, Ned.”

“... I promise, I promise …" She started to cry.

well damsel was certainly a movie! anyway i think millie bobbie brown’s character could be a great lyanna fancast, and her younger sister could be either young cersei or myrcella. robin wright is giving alysanne to me but also cersei. angela bassett as rhaenys 2 or cat stark!! UHH. the prince guy could be a robb or bran. did you guys know that shoreh aghdashloo voices the dragon

may watch that new netflix movie damsel to see if it has any promising asoiaf fancasts LMAO

[westerosiladies]

Hi! I can't figure out how to add pictures onto your post, but I have some more Lyanna fancasts.

Malina Weissman from the end of the 2nd episode of "A Series of Unfortunate Events" (when she wears a flower crown)

Millie Bobby Brown from "Enola Holmes"

Kristen Stewart in "Snow White and the Huntsman"

Rachael Henley from the end of "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe"

And Anastasia Tsilimpiou from the first episode of "Magnificent Century: Kösem" (she also wears a flower crown)

You can add images by reblogging the post and clicking the little orange camera icon that comes up:

But I'd be happy to do some image digging and add these for you! They're all great suggestions.

since i’m a fool with low digital skills, i had to remake a poll to figure out if millie bobby brown (in Enola Holmes) is a good age-appropriate fancast for Lyanna Stark

[hacked-wtsdz]

MBB is such a good choice for Lyanna

Lyanna had only been sixteen, a child-woman of surpassing loveliness.

Some additions from an anon:

MALINA WEISSMAN - VIOLET BAUDELAIRE (A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS)

Malina was 13-15 while filming three seasons of A Series of Unfortunate Events. The show has a fairly 20th-century aesthetic, but there are certain looks that can work for Lyanna, especially her dress and flower crown from 1x02.

MILLIE BOBBY BROWN - ENOLA HOLMES (ENOLA HOLMES)

I usually use Millie for Margaery content, but she works great for Lyanna as well. She was 15-16 while filming Enola Holmes, in which she was plenty of screentime and a great determination that fits Lyanna well. The film is set in the Victorian era, but many of the costumes are ambiguous enough to work for Westeros.

KRISTEN STEWART - SNOW WHITE (SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN)

Kristen Stewart is a bit older than Lyanna ever got (21 during filming) but she has a great aesthetic nonetheless. What's particularly useful is she has a mix of elegant and worn medieval clothing, as well as sequences in armor and at war, which are great for content of Lyanna as The Knight of the Laughing Tree or in Ned's speculations about carrying a sword.

ANASTASIA TSILIMPIOU - YOUNG KOSEM (MUHTESEM YUZYIL: KOSEM)

Anastasia was in her late teens while filming Kosem. While she is more blonde than brunette, that appears to vary based on which episodes you pull footage from. She does have a sequence in 1x01 wearing a flower crown, which makes her potentially useful for Lyanna's winter roses scene.

RACHAEL HENLEY - OLDER LUCY PEVENSIE (THE LION, THE WITCH, AND THE WARDROBE)

Rachael appears only briefly in the first Narnia movie--this is basically the only footage of her--but she has a great aesthetic for Lyanna. She's actually the older sister of Georgie Henley, who played Lucy for the bulk of the movie, and was roughly 16 during filming.
