Live Poll: Most Changed "Game of Thrones" Character

I understand, I was conflicted too. I tried to be impartial in my listing, using characters that poll takers care about and had depth. I listed the top characters by screen time (expected cut-off 40 min+ over series run). I thought change could be defined a number of ways by polI takers: emotional intellectual, physical, attitudes, moral code or some other measure. So, while character have not changed at all by one measure, they be at the opposite end of the spectrum by another measure.

I did cut a few characters who met the 40 minute bar for their perceived minimal change or their shorter condensed story arcs: Catelyn Stark, Tywin Lannister, Robb Stark, Ygriette, Stannis Baratheon. I thought this was necessary to allow for the inclusion of some later season entries that are in the upcoming seasons. There were two others, who met the 40 minute screen time minimum and I thought debatable entries, but I decided to include. Ned was one exception, his flashback sequences as a young boy and young man may have reset the starting point in his character development. Olenna Tyrell was another as I don't know what the future may hold for her.

I am open to hearing arguments for or against Catelyn Stark, Tywin Lannister, Robb Stark, Ygriette, Stannis Baratheon,Olenna Tyrell  or Ned Starks, inclusion or exclusion over another deserving cut.
