In a new interview, Game of Thrones star Rose Leslie discusses playing Ygritte, and hints at what’s to come for her character. Beware of mild spoilers.

Speaking to TV Guide, Leslie admits that she loves playing Ygritte:

I love that she is so extremely strong-willed and tough. That really struck a chord with me. I’d pictured her in my mind as ruthless, but she also has a lovely playfulness to her as well when she’s teasing Jon Snow and mocking him to his face. When I was reading the sides, I totally fell in love. I thought, “This girl is brilliant! She’s incredibly intelligent, she can play this guy.”

On her relationship with Jon, Leslie says that following Jon’s capture by the wildlings, “the tables have turned. I’m very, very happy that the power has shifted back to me.”

She goes into more detail about why Ygritte is drawn to Jon:

She’s never come across anybody like Jon Snow before. He’s incredibly honorable, he hasn’t tried to come onto her. There they were, snuggling up on the rock and nothing really happened. He just let her be. I don’t think she’s ever come across that before in her life. I’m patently sure that’s she’s lost her virginity and has gotten pretty far with a man and for him not to try to seduce her, I don’t think she can figure it out. And then later it’s like, “I’m bored of this. You’re phenomenally dull, so I’m going to escape. I’m going to leave you. Bye!”

Are you looking forward to seeing the relationship between Jon and Ygritte develop?
