Ellie Kendrick made a dramatic entrance when she joined season 3’s Game of Thrones as Meera Reed.

And since surprising Bran Stark’s friend and wildling Osha by placing a knife to her throat, Meera and her brother Jojen have become an important part of the young Stark’s storyline.

We caught up with Ellie at Collectormania in Milton Keynes to find out more about her role in the show.

Check out the video to see Ellie chat about being one of the new girls in season 3 of Game of Thrones, filming in Belfast, feisty female characters, skinning rabbits, Tywin Lannister (Charles Dance) skinning a deer, what she’d like to see from George RR Martin’s books for Meera’s future in Seasons 3 & 4, her favourite characters, how she’d like to go out if she had to die on Game of Thrones, working with Isaac Hempstead-Wright (Bran), Kristian Nairn (Hodor), Natalia Tena (Osha), Thomas Brodie-Sangster (Jojen Reed) and her university friend Hannah Murray (Gilly):
