Seeing Araya actually kill was quite disturbing. They make Maisie look so young.
Maisie Williams is a young looking 16. Sophie Turner is an older looking 18. Those two are really young.
That said, my wife mentioned that they were having to work hard costuming to maintain a similar look for Arya, on account of the actress starting to show some curves.

Unless Maisie Williams undergoes a late growth spur I don't really think she's going to be so curvaceous that the show will have problems with Arya's depiction. She's already 16 and still looks appropriately tomboyish.

The problem I have with Oberyn is whether or not (probably not) they will give the other Dornish a similar acccent.

Both the Dornishman Tyrion talked to when the retinue arrived at King's Landing and Oberyn's paramour had a weird accent, although I didn't listen enough to it to see if it was consistent with Oberyn's own.

Were they Dornishmen boys or Dornishmen girls?

Ellaria Sand, Oberyn's paramour, is Dornish.

Habbaku

Funny, she doesn't look Dornish.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

-J. R. R. Tolkien

Some of my best friends are Dornish.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

Well apparently these are the Spanish Dornish, they can look a little different.
I think she could pass.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
