While Masie Williams and Sophie Turner's characters as daughters of Ned Stark in HBO's hit TV series, "Game of Thrones," have been left in the corner for the past seasons, the highly anticipated season 5 is clearly showing signs that Sansa and Arya Stark will gain more air time from now on.
During a sitdown with New York Times for a joint photo shoot, the young British actresses who instantly became friends from the time of their first auditioned talked about their friendship and their experience growing up while filming "Game of Thrones."
"We should do more shoots together - that was fun," the 19-year-old Sophie Turner said after the photo shoot. "Just do like the cover of Vogue, or something small like that," she quipped.
Turner's character, Sansa Stark, who has spent almost most of the previous seasons falling victim to King Joffrey Baratheon's (Jack Gleeson) mistreatment and hiding under Littlefinger's (Aidan Gillen) shelter, is slowly showing power and strength.
"She's a powerful young woman now," Turner said of her character this season. "Rather than being a pawn in everyone else's game, she's playing her own."
While 17-year-old Maisie Williams chose not to say anything about her character, Arya Stark, she admitted that acting on "Game of Thrones" at the early age of 12 has made believe that having all the spotlights over her is normal.
"People say, 'Do you ever miss being a normal teenager?' And we don't really know what that is, I guess," she explained. "Because this is normal."
While Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams' characters have yet to cross paths following the beheading of their father in season 1, the actresses makes sure to spend as much time together whenever possible.
"Our other friends don't 100 percent get it," Williams explained of their "little girl gang" friendship. "Sometimes it is nice to just be with the one person who does."
"No one else gets it like you get it," Turner told Williams. "No one gets me like you do."
