Behind the scenes
Meera Reed and her brother first appeared in the second book A Clash of Kings while the roles was not cast for the show's second season. David Benioff says, ""We just felt they'd make more impact coming in later... If things get too byzantine, it's so confusing that none of it adds up, and you're spending three minutes with characters per episode, and the whole thing becomes a wash."[1]
Ellie Kendrick's casting was first announced at 2012 San Diego Comic-Con International.[2]
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Meera Reed is the only daughter of Lord Howland Reed of Greywater Watch, the southern-most of the vassal houses sworn to Winterfell. Disparagingly called "frog-eaters" due their lands lying in the swamps of the Neck, the Reeds and their followers (the crannogmen) keep to themselves and rarely travel beyond their borders. However, Howland Reed was an exception to this, becoming a noted friend and ally of Lord Eddard Stark, fighting at his side at many key engagements during Robert's Rebellion.
Meera and Jojen were guests at Winterfell when it was taken by Theon Greyjoy. When the Stark boys escaped with their wolves, Hodor and Osha, the Reeds joined them.
Sixteen-year-old Meera is a noted hunter and trapper.
