Shireen Baratheon from Game of Thrones
George R.R. Martin devised this deplorable scene himself after Game of Thrones surpassed his books. Princess Shireen Baratheon (Kerry Ingram) hadn’t lived the best nor the worst life—she was neglected by her parents and suffered from greyscale, but otherwise, she had a relatively pleasant childhood when compared to other characters. However, just as her father Stannis (Stephen Dillane) began to grow fond of the little girl, he allowed her to be burned at the stake by the Red Witch Melisandre in order to get him closer to occupying the Iron Throne.
