game of thrones - Which GoT characters do not appear in ASoIaF?

I started out watching the Game of Thrones series (just about to watch season 4), then became intrigued enough to also read the A Song of Ice and Fire series (soon to acquire book 5).



Obviously a TV series cannot cover the detail one might expect in the books, so some characters from the books would not be mentioned in the TV shows, but it intrigued me that Ros (the prostitute that travels from Winterfell to King's Landing to continue her career) is in the TV series but does not appear anywhere in the books!



I guess she was inserted to allow the film makers to show aspects of certain characters and drive other bits of the story that were simplified/shortened & otherwise would have needed expounding.



Are there any other characters that are portrayed in GoT that are not in ASoIaF?
