'Game of Thrones' season 6 release date, spoilers: Beautiful priestess

"Game of Thrones" devotees are excited for season 6 to be aired, especially now that Jon Snow is presumed dead and Daenerys has flown out of the city onboard her dragon, Drogon. Because of this excitement, numerous rumors and spoilers are bouncing around the Web.

The latest buzz is from a massive leak revealing that a new character is joining the stellar ensemble in the upcoming season. This does not come as a surprise as there are still a lot of characters from author George R.R. Martin's books who have yet to make their small screen debut. 

Initially, the leak only revealed that a young "beautiful, intense and magnetic" priestess in her late 20s or 30s will appear in "Game of Thrones" season 6. The fans' resolve to know more about the mystery character eventually spawned a leaked audition video of actress Tehmina Sunny for the role of Kinvara. The video was already taken down but the script Sunny performed, as obtained by website Watchers on the Wall, is still available.

The scene depicts Kinvara talking to Tyrion and Varys about Meereen's fate, now that Dany is nowhere to be found after absconding with her loyal fire-breathing friend. 

In the script, Kinvara says, "You want your queen to be worshiped and obeyed. And while she's gone, you want her advisors to be worshiped and obeyed."

To this, Tyrion replies, "I'd settle for obeyed."

It is hinted that Daenerys may not be back for a while and that Lord of Light R'hllor disregards her to put himself at the fore. 

"We serve the same queen," Kinvara says to Varys and Tyrion before departing. "If you are a true friend, you have nothing to fear from me." 

"Game of Thrones" season 6 is expected to premiere in April next year.
