Thank you so much for talking to me.
Im sure youre incredibly busy with interviews today.Yes, this is my seventh one of the day.
And Im a bit tired because I stayed up until two this morning to watch it.
And what did you think when you were watching?It was very intense, wasnt it?
Yeah, my heart was beating, definitely.
Have you finally caught up on all of the episodes?
Yourecently saidthat you hadnt watched the full series yet.Nope.
Ive still not watched the full series because its rated for 18 and Im only 15.
Im going to wait a few years yet, but I havent really a clue whats going on.
Did you worry that she was going to die?
It sounds terrible, but I wanted her to die a great death.
Or have a final scene of something really significant.
I feel like the way she died was very fitting.
I did a little battle cry in my head.
I wasnt allowed to tell anyone, so I had to keep all my excitement in my mind.
I just opened my mouth and out came this battle cry.
That scene when youre in the giants hand, how they film that?
How long did that take?It took quite a while.
Theyd become so determined to get it exactly how they imagined it.
Miguel said something which Ill never forget: Someone removed Lyannas fear genes.
Fear wasnt even in her DNA.
Its something that doesnt belong to her.
She was just going into the stab with sheer determination, almost animal instinct, and loads of courage.
Those weeks of night shoots sound like they were tough for the cast.
How did you get through all that time that you spent awake at night?The adrenaline, really.
I only did seven nights, and the rest of the crew did 55.
I really didnt do much compared to everyone else, but that was enough.
It was very, very tough.
It was a phenomenal experience and Im never going to forget it, but it was a challenge.
But thats fine because I love a challenge.
It was very, very cold, very physical.
The wind and the fake snow was overwhelming in a good way.
Did you feel like that was helpful for your character?Yeah, definitely.
It was nice to have more of an intimate scene, especially because theyre family as well.
Did you feel like the episode was like a triumph for the female characters?Yeah, definitely.
Who will you miss working with the most from the cast?Thats a very hard question.
Megan Parkinson, who plays Alys Karstark, I really got on very well with her.
We were on-set sisters, so Ill miss acting with her.
We were in a lot of scenes together.
Did you take anything with you from the set when you left?
Any souvenirs, or anyGame of Thronesmemorabilia?I didnt take anything from the set, unfortunately.
But they did give me and my mum and dad a hat.
Lyanna has become an internet sensation.
Shes a stand-in for how tough even the smallest women can be.
Whats it like to see yourself all over the internet?
Have you ever been like,Oh look, theres me!
Im a meme!Yeah, I have.
Its a really bizarre experience.
Im still in disbelief.
I still dont feel like its happening.
Im just Bella, really.
It doesnt feel like Im all over the world.
It blows my mind, but everyone around me keeps me grounded.
Has playing Lyanna rubbed off on you at all?Definitely.
Her confidence and her courage is astounding.
I think Arya deserves the throne and Gendry could rule with her.
Maisie [Williams] and Joe [Dempsie] together ruling the Seven Kingdoms, that would be awesome.
Are you going to watch the finale?Yeah, I think so.
You cant be the only person in the world who doesnt know howGame of Thronesends.Yeah, exactly.
