13) ARYA STARK (Previous ranking: Unranked)

Category: Assassin

You’ve come a long way, girl with no name. We’ve watched Arya Stark grow from an innocent child to a master assassin, and its been fascinating. For all the bragging characters do about how young they were when they first killed, we actually saw Arya take down her first opponent (albeit rather reflexively) when she ran Needle through a stable boy bully in “The Pointy End” (S1/E8). She was 11.

Arya had to grow up fast, going through traumas that would have crushed other children. Obsessed with revenge against those who wronged her family, she joins the mysterious Faceless Men death cult in Braavos. Along with intense physical training, Arya learned to use magic to don the faces of others, a unique and highly useful skill. She’s by far the stealthiest fighter on this list.

Now an assassin to be feared, Arya has overcome the deadly Waif and cut the throats of Meryn Trant, Walder Frey and Littlefinger. The murderous Freys have long been a special target of Arya’s wrath, and before she left the Twins she poisoned many of the male members of the family. Arya is a one-girl wrecking crew, and she proved she has raw skill with a sword by fighting Brienne of Tarth to a draw; very impressive.

Pretty good rank for her, considering we haven't really seen her in battle

I love Arya, and I respect her abilities. But I think she was ranked too high.

I would have put her in the 20's.

Heda_Khaleesi · 11-03-2018, 02:20 AM

i think she is a good killer instead of a fighter. she doesn't really go into battles but manages to kill her aim otherwise. know what i mean?

wanderer78 · 11-03-2018, 01:54 PM

Absolutely! I agree. I think she's brilliant at what she does. And I'm sure she's a good fighter. But that's not quite her forte.

***Si_Crazy*** · 11-04-2018, 07:45 AM

I agree with that, but based on how her sparring with Brienne went last season I'd say she is a very good fighter, not easy to hold her own against a fighter like Brienne

Sean Bean thinks Arya will be most likely to survive among "his" children:

Quote:

Who’s left? Jon Snow is left, isn’t he? But Arya would have to be it. Yeah Arya will last — maybe she’ll be on the throne

I'm posting it here b/c Sean doesn't really watch the show. Both Maisie and Arya made an impression on him it seems.

I hope she survives, but, I hope all of the remaining Starks survive.

wanderer78 · 11-14-2018, 05:26 PM

I think Arya's the safest of the Starks.

Same

She is my favourite Stark so that makes me happy

wanderer78 · 11-15-2018, 08:03 PM

You might've heard this, but supposedly she's the favorite character of George R.R. Martin's wife. And she's threatened to divorce him if he killed Arya off. I don't know if that covers the show though.

***Si_Crazy*** · 11-17-2018, 05:56 AM

Nice to see that Arya caused such a good impression on Sean Bean

She is my favorite, so I'm happy she is alive tlll now

Really hope she makes it in the show

GRRM's wife has a leverage on him to get her favorite to survive
