The fact that *I* was pretty appalled by Arya speaks to me personally, lol. I don't blame Arya for not trusting Sansa yet, even. Arya remembers two things about Sansa: Sansa wanted to be Joffrey's Queen, and Sansa was always awful to Jon. She doesn't know that Sansa has acknowledged that and apologized for it, and that Jon has forgiven her (and I don't think Sansa necessarily needs to explain herself there, to be clear- she and Jon have their own relationship that Arya is not necessarily entitled to, as much as that might surprised Arya now). She sees the sister she remembers as always believing herself better than Jon (and Arya), and she doesn't trust that she'll keep Jon's best interests at heart. I understand that. I also understand how that letter made her look bad, and even how it might have enraged Arya. I don't accept that it made her instantly fly into "Welp, gotta calmly threaten to cut Sansa's face off, I guess".
