    I have always wondered about this when watching fantasy tv series and movies. In fact, the newest season of “Game of Thrones” seems to have stolen “Cassie” from the UK version of Skins that everybody in class seemed to love so much. http://tv.ign.com/articles/118/1186756p1.html. In the first episode, she only had about five seconds worth of screen time, but from this limited impression she seems to be channeling the whole “aloof” persona from the Skins series. Excited to see how her character plays out as the series moves along.
