5. Sansa Stark — Mae Whitman
Mae Whitman played Katara in Avatar: The Last Airbender, and she completely nailed the character's journey from a kind-hearted, slightly naive girl to a powerhouse of strength and wisdom. That's also how Sansa's character evolves.
Sansa starts off as this dreamy-eyed girl thinking that life's all lemon cakes and handsome princes (eww, Joffrey is not handsome). But then Westeros happens, and she finds herself learning the art of survival in a world where you win or you die.
Mae's has an incredible talent for layering her voice with a mix of delicacy and inner strength, which is perfect for Sansa's rollercoaster ride from a pawn in the game of thrones to a player who calls the shots.
Plus, Mae Whitman brings a certain depth to her characters that goes beyond the script. She can infuse Sansa with a richness that'll make her animated journey even more gripping than the one on the original show. Her voice would capture Sansa's transformation, giving life to those moments of despair, defiance, and ultimate triumph. Mae would make Sansa a living, breathing embodiment of growth, making every viewer cheer for her from their couches.
6. Cersei Lannister — Grey DeLisle
As a huge Cersei fan, I am all for Grey DeLisle stepping into the animated shoes of Cersei Lannister. Grey's got that voice that can freeze your blood or warm your heart, depending on what the script demands. She's voiced fire-bending Azula in Avatar: The Last Airbender, whose cunning and ambition could give Cersei a run for her money.
Grey knows how to bring out that mix of ice and fire, layering her characters with a complexity that's as intriguing as it is terrifying. Imagine Cersei's plots and schemes, delivered with the same chilling precision Grey lent to Azula: one minute, she's all sweetness and light; the next, she's plotting your demise with a voice as smooth as the finest Arbor gold. That's very fitting for Cersei. Grey DeLisle could nail that duality between charm and menace.
Grey would perfectly bring out Cersei's vulnerabilities, her fears, and her rare moments of sympathy, all without losing that edge that makes Cersei, well, Cersei. It's not just about sounding evil; it's about sounding human, with all the contradictions and complexities that come with it, and Grey would do that job impeccably well.
