The major players in Game of Thrones experience many ups and downs from the beginning of the series to Season 8. And both physical and mental changes mark those Game of Thrones character transformations. Certain people in the famed HBO show become more sympathetic (yes, we’re talking about Jaime Lannister). He goes from being the worst kind of kid-killing villain to a sort of hero. He even challenges Cersei Lannister in the GoT Season 7 finale.
Other pivotal figures have major Game of Thrones character transformations too. In fact, Sansa Stark morphs from a whiny, malleable teen into a stalwart leader. If anyone deserves to rule the North, she certainly does.
Bran Stark possibly changes the most, though. Once a precocious kid with chubby cheeks and a penchant for climbing, this Stark is now the Three-Eyed Raven. He’s the total opposite of the naive youth that almost didn’t make it. And depending on who you ask, he’s not too bad to look at either.
These GoT character transformations will surprise you and truly make you wonder who’s grown enough to claim the Iron Throne.

We have to ask, though, is all that power possibly making her as mad as her late father?

Instead, she’s a master face-shifter with a slew of other tricks up her sleeve.

This Lannister probably isn’t done surprising us. We don’t know what debts he still has to pay, but we know he’ll pay them.

But now, she looks like the kind of ruler everyone has to take seriously.

Now though, Jon has the power to lead thousands. People might not be calling him a bastard for much longer, either.

Bran now has all the power of the Three-Eyed Raven. And he seems to revel in a little drama to boot.

But he definitely had a change of heart. Who even knew he had a heart at the beginning of the series?

Sansa’s growth is undeniable, but will she be able to submit to someone else so soon?

But now his sharp tongue is tempered with wisdom. Even if Sansa doubts his cleverness now, he’s not the worst person to have on your side.

But now he’s redeemed himself, and he actually deserves a role as one of her advisors.

It seems the time on the Night’s Watch only helped Samwell. He stands up for himself and isn’t afraid to speak up when necessary. In fact, it seems unlikely that he’ll ever bend the knee to Daenerys Targaryen now.

Will she have to break her oath to defend Jaime Lannister, though?

He may never leave the forge, but if he does, he won’t be taken down easily.

Once the Stark family’s unwilling ward, the youngest Greyjoy heir is a shadow of his former self. All hope isn’t lost for him, though. He may even fully atone for his initial betrayal.

However, whether he’s truly alive or not, this character doesn’t look a thing like their former self.
