Myrcella Baratheon wasn’t the first death on Game of Thrones, but it was definitely one of the most surprising— mainly because it wasn’t gruesome. Myrcella, played by Nell Tiger Free, was killed in the season 5 finale, poisoned by Ellaria Sand’s kiss as revenge against Cersei Lannister for the death of her lover Oberyn Martell. The death came after Jaime Lannister revealed that Myrcella was his daughter.

 “Originally, they gave me those mashed up bananas with fake blood, and my brains were supposed to be all over the ship and stuff,” Free said. “I don’t like gore but I knew they were just bananas, so it was okay.” She added that they later decided to change the scene “because they wanted Myrcella’s death to reflect her life.”
