9 INNOCENT GAME OF THRONES CHARACTERS WHO ARE TOO PRECIOUS FOR THIS WORLD 

has no more qualms about killing a sweet, innocent character than a hardened, evil one. If that wasn’t apparent before, it was definitely clear after Sunday’s episode, in which we said goodbye to the beloved Hodor (Kristian Nairn). It was, arguably, the most devastating death on the series thus far.

Hodor’s death was heartbreaking because he was so child-like; far too good for the cruel

world. Here are some other pure and good characters we’d be devastated to lose.

A QUICK GUIDE TO PARENTING, AS TOLD BY GAME OF THRONES

Sweet Sam, the guy who stood by Jon Snow and protected Gilly when no one else would. Even when things go to hell (which is, like, all the time) he still manages to smile.

This poor girl was born into a truly horrible family; one that allowed a father to rape his daughters and then murder infant sons. She finally seems to be happy — well, as happy as one can be in Westeros — which is probably why things are going to go south soon.

Please, please, please keep this baby away from Ramsey. And dogs.

The youngest Stark, a.k.a. the one who still doesn’t have a strong storyline, is now in the hands of Ramsey. He’s never done anything wrong (because he hardly gets any screen time), but the longer he remains Ramsey’s captive, the higher probability he’ll meet a gruesome end.

A member of the Unsullied, Grey Worm had a horrific life until Daenerys freed him from his bonds. Since then, he’s dutifully stood by Khaleesi’s side and remained honorable. Plus, his relationship with Missandei adds joyful moments to an otherwise dark show.

Also loyal to Daenerys, Missandei acts as interpreter and person to lean on for the Khaleesi. Despite all the horrific acts happening around her, she is still a wholesomely good person.

ends up having to take care of everyone else. She did it with her brother Jojen first, and now she’s doing it with Bran. With Hodor’s untimely demise, Meera is Bran’s only hope for survival.

Stepping in after his brother Joffrey was murdered, Tommen is a breath of fresh air for the realm. He’s sweet, kind, and generally doesn’t like violence. Even when he’s mad as hell, he still doesn’t have people maimed and killed whenever he pleases. Unfortunately, his end could be near.

Brienne’s righthand man is the sheer embodiment of a glass half full. Plus, he’s unbelievably adorkable, humble, and loyal to a fault. Every time Brienne tries crushing his spirit, he continues to respect her and help with whatever she needs.

I WATCHED SEASON ONE OF GAME OF THRONES FOR THE FIRST TIME AND HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS

I'm still upset I wasn't a contestant on 'Figure It Out' in the '90s.
