The Red God's Priestess

Fanart for GRRM's A Song of Ice and Fire.

I like Melisandre in that she's powerful, truly believes in her god but still blunders. And I am not hoping for Stannis Baratheon to win the Iron Throne.

I have always thought Melisandre would look a bit oriental because Asshai is to the east in Westeros (in my mind, I have thought it might be what is China in our world >.>) so when I'm reading her, this is what I think she looks like. And she's not as forbidding in her expressions as in the show. Truth be told, I kinda held hope that HBO would cast someone a bit asian-looking for Meli's role...

But the books and the show are different in a way and I make that distinction whenever I read ASoIaF.

Can't wait for The Winds of Winter.
