She is actually a blonde - her hair is dyed'I am planning to go back to being a blonde soon, then I'll slip back in with everyone else. My friends hate it when I get recognised.' Her favourite subject is philosophy'Between takes most people play Scrabble - Peter Dinklage is the best. But I have a little philosophy club with Finn Jones (Loras Tyrell), and when we're off-set we'll have conversations about subjects like 'what is time?' But I've never really agreed with the whole Descartes 'I think therefore I am' thing.' She is very clumsy, but is also a talented ballerina 'For some reason, when I am doing ballet I am ok, but I literally take off my ballet shoes and fall over and hit my face.' Jennifer Lawrence is her hero 'I think I might faint if I met Jennifer Lawrence. I felt that way about Justin Bieber about a year ago, but not any more. I think he is a little bit weird now, peeing in buckets and stuff.' The only thing she knows how to cook is spaghetti - just the pasta, not even the sauce. And in all those Game of Thrones feasting scenes the food is fake 'I just eat the bread!' Her favourite film is One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest 'I think mental hospitals are really fascinating' She loves Sansa 'When Game of Thrones started audiences didn't really take to Sansa. And I would read the reviews and that was a very sad time for me. I am a very sensitive person. But then season three came along and everything changed. That was the best. I've become very defensive of my character.' She is allergic to horses'I'm asthmatic anyway, and just swell up when I am near horses, so I have to have an inhaler in my pocket all the time. Most of the time I am just desperately trying to breath!' She hasn't studied drama 'It's just a bit boring. And anyway, working on Game of Thrones is like a huge drama lesson that goes on for hours!'
