Sophie Turner is a bit new to the acting scene. The English actress has made a name for herself on Game of Throne as Sansa Stark. She even got herself a Young Artist Award nomination as Best Supporting Young Actress in a TV Series.
She only tried out for the role after her drama teacher pushed her to do it and to stand out she dyed her blonde hair auburn. After the first season of Game of Thrones was finished shooting, Sophie's family adopted her onscreen direwolf Lady.
She decided to adopt Zunni and bond with her. By the way, a direwolf is just a wolf dog really. Since Game of Thrones, the 17 year old Sophie has been in two films; both in 2013- Panda Eyes and The Thirteenth Tale, which is still in filming. Since she's started acting in 2011, she's been pretty busy with several major projects.
