Cat did not seem to start reacting with fear until she started losing people. A big theme for her later is calling others "children of summer," and although her "summer" ended when Ned went off to war, she didn't really experience it, outside of having to deal with Jon Snow. I always envisioned her fear beginning when she lost Ned.

In a way, true Vince. But recognize there is going to be some simpling of characters from book to show (you can't go into the mind and thoughts of a character in a show like a book without a cumsly thought "voice over" or something), so I expect we'll see some but lighter character growth, and a bit of simplification and smoothing of character traits.

Spoiler

Dany will definitely grow into herself. The complexities of Tyrion stays. But someone like Cat will be simpler to be consistent.
