Euron Greyjoy attacks on the ships of the theon and yaragreyjoy from which theon somehow manages to get alive from that attack and Lady Yara Greyjoy was kidnapped by Euron Greyjoy. We have last seen theongreyjoy sister in The Iron throne. Lady Yara Greyjoy is the sister of theongreyjoy and she is also the Queen of the Iron Islands as all the fans has seen that theon makes her the theQeen of the islands. Yara is the only sibling of Theon who is alive.

When Eurongreyjoy who is the uncle of Yara executed his father after that she is the rightful queen. But the iron fleet makes Euron as their king and therefore theon and yara are forced to leave the island and they took some part of the fleet who are loyal with them.

But later their fleet was attacked by Eurongreyjoy and Yara was caught by euron. Yarahas joined hands with Daenerys Targaryen and theon later frees her sister and was able to take back their Iron Islands and Lady yara Greyjoy was appointed as the Queen of the Iron Islands by Theon Greyjoy.

This is not the first time that they have changed the name of the characters. Ellaria asks Yara if she had ever been to Dorne, to which Yara responds that she has been there a few times. Ellaria responds that there is a boy in every port in Dorne, which Yara responds, "A boy, a girl. Depends on the port. Yara tells Ellaria that Theon will serve as both her bodyguard and adviser. Yara puts her feet up on the table.

Ellaria bends over Yara and spreads her legs apart across the table. Ellaria moves her hand up Yara's leg towards her crotch. Ellaria invites Theon to have a threesome with her and Yara, but Yara tells Ellaria to "Leave him be. On the deck above, they discover that their fleet has been ambushed by Euron Greyjoy 's portion of the Iron Fleet. Yara tells Ellaria to stay below decks, whilst she and Theon continue to the bow.

Seeing her fleet peppered by fire and looking up at the Silence above them, Yara knows that it is Euron. As Euron lowers his plank onto the Black Wind , the invasion begins. Filled with bloodlust and revenge for her father, Yara successfully kills many of Euron's ironborn.

She tells Tyene Sand , mid-battle, to protect her mother, who is still below decks. Looking over her burning fleet, she has a moment of despair before once again engaging into battle. Despite her skillful style of attack, Euron overpowers his niece and holds his axe to her throat. Calling over to Theon, whom he calls a "cockless coward", Euron challenges his nephew to try and save Yara. However, Theon looks around and gets a harsh reminder of his torture by Ramsay Bolton as he sees Euron's men cutting out the tongues of his defeated comrades.

Realizing he may suffer the same with Euron and still mentally unstable from his past, Yara is abandoned by Theon after he jumps off the Black Wind. With Euron laughing in her face and having lost all respect for Theon, Yara is taken below decks by Euron, as they sail away, en route to King's Landing, on the Silence. Following Euron's assault on the Targaryen fleet , Yara along with Ellaria and Tyene are led in chains through the streets of King's Landing by her triumphant uncle.

Yara and the Dornish women are pelted with rotten fruits by the smallfolk. Euron mockingly tells his niece that they are receiving a hero's welcome. Yara and her fellow captives are brought before Queen Cersei, who appoints Euron as the commander of her naval forces.

While Ellaria and Tyene are left with Cersei to face her wrath for murdering her daughter Myrcella , Yara is led away by armed guards. Upon Theon's return to Dragonstone, he asks to see Daenerys to request her help in rescuing Yara, but is told by Jon Snow that she has already left. At the Dragonpit Summit , Euron brags to Theon that Yara is his prisoner in order to force him to surrender. Afterwards, Theon convinces the remaining ironborn loyal to Yara to mount a rescue mission, just as Yara did to save him.

A prisoner aboard the Silence , Yara asks Euron why he has not killed her, to which Euron sarcastically remarks upon their familial status as the last living Greyjoys, excluding Theon due to his castration. In addition, he prefers her company over his tongueless crewmen. She correctly assumes they have returned to King's Landing , having ferried the Golden Company from Essos to fight for Cersei.

She rebuffs an offer of drink from her uncle, before stating that he has picked the losing side. However, Euron arrogantly states that he will simply leave the Queen of the Andals should it come to that but he will lay with her first. While Euron is distracted in the Red Keep , with Cersei finally giving in to his lust following Jaime's departure, Theon and his remaining ironborn sneak aboard. After silently murdering members of Euron's crew, they find Yara inside the ship. He awkwardly unties her before she hauls herself to her feet and knocks him to the ground with a headbutt, due to his earlier abandonment of her.

However, she then drags him back up, and the two share a mutual look of respect between each other. The two then make their escape, dividing their minimal forces across Theon's three ships. Yara decides to retake the Iron Islands, since they are virtually unprotected while Euron is away, as well as providing Daenerys with a final stronghold should the dead overrun Westeros.

Theon, however, states that he will follow his Queen, and Yara realizes he wants to fight in the North. Having done his duty to House Greyjoy, she allows him to leave. After the assassination of Daenerys , Yara takes part in the trial of Jon. She tells the gathering to let the Unsullied decide his fate. Arya threatens to kill her if she demands killing Jon again. Davos, however, defuses the situation before it gets out of hand.

Tyrion advises the lords of the Seven Kingdoms to choose a new King. When the gathering doesn't nominate anyone themselves, he recommends Bran Stark as the nominee. Yara joins the others in assenting to that proposal. By the time of Bran's proclamation as king, Yara styled herself as the Lady of the Iron Islands , the region having been reincorporated into the Six Kingdoms.

Yara Greyjoy is an ironborn woman of the finest caliber: courageous, clever, determined and proud. In sharp contrast to the allusions people have about her on the basis that she is a woman, Yara is extremely headstrong and formidable towards anybody who dares cross her, as well as possessing a sharp, cynical, and sarcastic sense of humor.

She rebuffs Theon's labeling her as a woman by pointing out that he is the one wearing a skirt, knowing full well that he has already been berated for it and it will only enrage him. She is a fierce warrior and a staunch leader, and obdurate about her own independence. She does not apologize to her father for leading a personal mission to rescue Theon from the Boltons, despite having failed and lost many men. Later on, when Theon returns, Yara is furious with him for costing her so many lives in his decision to stay in the Dreadfort, showing that she was remorseful of her defeat during the rescue mission.

Because of her sharpness, Yara can come across as aggressive towards people she doesn't like or people who try to put her in her place, and isn't swayed when Theon warns her against crossing him.

She can be slightly judgmental and labels Theon as an idiot for forgetting that, while he had conquered Winterfell, the ironborn were primarily sailors and islanders and couldn't hold landlocked castles like Winterfell for very long. Nevertheless, she clearly loves Theon enough to want to rescue him from Ramsay Bolton, and previously she begged him not to die 'so far from the sea', gently recalling the two of them as children.

By the time Theon returns to the Iron Islands after Eddard Stark's death, Yara is a renowned leader and, in Balon's words, has commanded and killed men with her own hands. She eventually gained great support during the Kingsmoot with the reminder that she was a reaver, a warrior and a seasoned leader, but this was ruined when Euron arrived and promised the present ironborn greater glory. Despite their troubled past, different personalities and Theon's actions, Yara still values Theon's advice, possibly from his experiences in the North and Riverlands, shown when she only agrees to Daenerys Targaryen's conditions when Theon nods his approval, and continues to be protective of him, telling Ellaria Sand to leave him alone when she asks him to pour ale for her and then invites him for a threesome with Yara though it can be argued that Ellaria did not know that Theon had been castrated by Ramsay.

Yara was also apologetic of mocking Theon at the brothel in Volantis, compensating for her coldness by encouraging him to continue living and fighting, because she needed him beside her in order to defeat Euron and avenge their father; in this particular conversation, she showed her more compassionate side and shed the scornful way in which she spoke to Theon when he first returned to the Iron Islands.

Ironically, as the daughter of a Great House and one of Balon Greyjoy's only two surviving children, Asha Greyjoy is actually a much more prominent character than Osha the wildling; Asha is even a POV character in several chapters. Thus it is curious why they changed Asha's name and not the other way around.

It is probably because Osha was already introduced in Season 1 and the similarity with Asha Greyjoy's name wasn't realized until production on Season 2 began. In the German dub of the TV series, however, the character is still called "Asha" as in the books.

Another small change is that in the books, "Asha Greyjoy" has short black hair, a lean build, and a sharp beak of a nose. In the TV series, "Yara Greyjoy" has brown hair. Other than these minor naming and cosmetic differences, Gemma Whelan's portrayal is actually quite faithful to Asha Greyjoy's behavior and actions in the books. According to Dagmer, after Balon lost his three sons, Asha was his solace. He has learned to rely on her, and she has never failed him. Balon is greatly proud of his wild headstrong daughter, and believes she can succeed him, although it is doubtful the other ironborn would accept her as their queen.

He wishes Theon dead so he would not stand in Asha's way, though this resentment has been cut from the television series, where Balon appears to be genuinely saddened after "losing" Theon to the Starks. Asha's uncles Victarion Greyjoy, Aeron Greyjoy , and Rodrik "the Reader" Harlaw respect her and acknowledge her power, but do not believe she can rule the ironborn due to her gender.

Other ironborn often mock Asha ribaldy. However, Asha is confident and strong-willed enough to dismiss such attitude scornfully, and she always talks back sharply and makes fun of those who taunt her.

Asha's crew adore her devotedly. Half of them love her as their daughter, the other half want to have sex with her, and all of them would die for her. Some time after Winterfell was sacked, Asha comes there, but finds only unrecognizable dead bodies, partly eaten by wolves. She believes Theon is dead, but admits she cannot be certain. She, not Balon, receives a taunting letter from Ramsay with a piece of Theon's skin.

The news confirms previous rumors that Asha was on the cusp of a name change, with producers David Benioff and D. Weiss recently confirming that they were considering the option due to similarities between Asha and Osha, the Starks' wildling captive introduced towards the end of the first season of "Thrones. The reasoning behind the change is frustrating for a few reasons: for one — and I suppose a minor spoiler warning is appropriate here — Asha is a considerably more prominent player in the "Ice and Fire" novels thus far, at least , with Osha's "screen-time" paling in comparison to Asha's.
