Arya’s role in Game of Thrones portrays more of the family
character of the Starks from the North. After their father was executed by the
Lannister she is the only Stark that was able to look his father while the
execution is going during that mid-day event in the capital. When Arya start her travel escaping towards
North her skills in sword fights was tested and her lion heart is put to the
test. Many adult friends along the way to the north were amazed of her smartness
and firmness of her heart characters like Greenbeard and Lord Beric. Arya asks
the old warrior to take her to the Riverrun. Greenbeard likewise laugh and said
that you are so precious to sacrifice yourself in the streets of thieves,
Greenbeard further said, “you are like a golden squirrel precious for the
thieves around the villages that we pass by”.
On the contrary her sister Sansa,
Sansa is more of sacrificing herself for the family like what she did in marrying
the Lannisters. She is ready to give everything for the sake of her family. But
Arya is rather ready to fight but not to sacrifice for the sake of her
family. In the later part of season five
and six Arya starts to exercise her warrior skills by learning the art of war
with magic and keeping herself anonymous to the public in the market place.
Vengeance is always in the hands of Arya. She can take a person’s life through
her fighting skills and techniques. But reading “A Storm of Swords (Steel and
Snow)” Arya is still learning the education of survival in the streets. I as a
reader is thrilled how George R.R. Martin nurtured Arya’s character as a firm
little girl in dealing her emotions and fighting scenes along the way traveling
to Riverrun with a heavy agony of her father’s death.
George R.R. Martin would sacrifice main
characters in the novel but not Arya.
What could be the big role of Arya in the next thrilling season of the
War of the Dead? Lord Petyr Baelish can communicate and manipulate Sansa but
not Arya. Arya is always behind the
political scene of the game of thrones but Arya can be an Assassin and the La
Femme Nikita for the Stark Family. Lord Petyr Baelish is having ambitions of
the throne but he has no direct legal rights to have it. Only Sansa can fulfill
the political dreams of Lord Petyr Baelish that is why he is called Little
Finger. Yet the smartness of Baelish cannot outweigh the character of
Arya. Then who can fight Arya in terms
of her skills and mental toughness.
Could it be that Arya is the next Queen of
the North knowing that Sansa is so weak because Little Finger is always at her
back playing her emotions? And John Snow
is also tainted with the love of the wildings and the Dragon Lady? Seriously…..
John Snow should be dead but with the mercy of the witch lady keep him
alive. From the children of the Starks
only Arya will not give her name “The Man has no Name” firm and fierce she can
be the next Queen of the North. The
trying hard Boltons on the other hand always wants to get the attention of the
Starks but only his dog will end the reign of the Boltons in the North. Arya’s toughness in war continuous during her
travel while her mental attitude even inspire her to end the life of her
opponents “Whenever she looked at them, she remembered the taste of blood”. Arya is like the mother of Dragons, Khaleesi
of Khaleesar. If Khaleesi the mother of
dragons can soften the heart of Snow how about Arya’s Lion Heart?
