When I was reading the book, I always thought of Arya's image: horse face, brown hair, not particularly good-looking, she looked quite clever, typical wolf face, and a bit like Lyanna. When I first watched the show, I was surprised to find that Maisie Williams's Arya was a bit like what I had imagined, and I was delighted. When the crowd watched Bran shoot arrows, she took the lead and hit the bullseye. Lively and smart looking so cute.
Arya likes to play with Jon the most. Not surprisingly, they are the two most wolf-like children, and they both like to play with knives and swords. Jon is not loved because he is an illegitimate child, Arya does not have the beauty of her sister Sansa, and she is the second daughter, so she does not receive as much attention as Sansa. When Jon was going to Nights Watch, he gave Arya the Needle and told her not to stab her sister. I paused for a long time as they hugged, and I knew they wouldn't see each other for a long time. Season 6 is over, and they still haven't reunited.
This life is from west to east.
When Sansa opened the door to Castle Black in Season 6, there was a moment I wished it was Arya who opened the door. She would run and hug Jon, show him that the Needle he gave was still there, and tell him how she learned how to water dance with the swordsmen in Bravos, how to use the Needle to protect herself, how to lose it and find it again... Imagine the scene of their reunion, I believe that the two brothers and sisters will meet again one day.
Farewell to Jon, she went to King's Landing with her father, and after some twists and turns, she could finally learn to dance the sword as she wished. The first time she heard the name Bravos from the swordsman teacher Syrio, how could she have thought that she would one day set foot on a voyage ship and go to that magical place.
When reading books and watching dramas, I like the dialogue between her and Syrio, and I have watched it several times. For the first time, she was exposed to such teaching. She knew how to stand, how to hold a sword, and say "Not today" to the god of death. Many of Syrio's words supported her to overcome the fears in her future wandering career and keep moving forward.
While being hunted in the Red Keep, she uses the Needle to kill a boy who was ordered to capture her. Seeing the blood flowing from the tip of the sword, there was a hint of surprise in her eyes. That was the first time she killed someone, the first time she truly protected herself.
After that, Ned's death was a turning point in Arya's life. She hid in the crowd and watched helplessly as her father was beheaded, but there was nothing she could do. The person who once loved her so much, did not confiscate her Needle, but found her a swordsman teacher, and left her forever. The seeds of revenge are planted here. It's like Ezio in Assassin's Creed, watching his family get hanged and he can't do anything. In the play, Ned looked in Arya's direction before he died, and told her with his eyes: Live well. Arya also began her wandering life.
During that time, she used Syrio's words to encourage herself many times: Fear cuts deeper than swords, she watched her companions die, and she survived the sleepless nights in fear. Every night, she meditated on the assassination list. She never forgot for a moment how her father died, how her companions died, and she would make them pay the price.
I don't know if she will "dream about juvenile affairs in the middle of the night".
On Arya's journey, her encounter with Tywin was very interesting. Holding the wine, she smiled knowingly when she heard that Robb won, and then quietly hid the smile. When Tywin asked her about Robb, her heart was probably very complicated. Tywin admires this clever little girl a little. If there is no war between Robb and the Lannister family, maybe Tywin will know Arya in another way, tell her the story of the past, and watch her read.
Have to mention the hunting dog. He just wanted to sell Arya a good price at first, but with each other's company, he gradually began to care and protect the little girl. After the Red Wedding, the Hound silently took her, who wanted to pounce on her mother's corpse, away from this place of right and wrong. The Hound was expressionless, perhaps pity the helpless child. When I took her to my aunt Lysa's place, I was told that my aunt was dead too. At that moment, the hound remained expressionless, as if to stay there. Arya burst out laughing, laughter echoing through the valley. It is always extinguished when hope is ignited, and it is always lost when it is about to be possessed. It is so close, but it is impossible to cross it. The two times Arya was closest to her family, the hound was by her side.
Ja Kun is also the one who changed Arya's fate. Arya threw a life-saving axe at him, he gave her 3 assassination spots, took her away, and gave her a coin as they parted. He probably knew that Arya was destined to go to Bravos to learn the art of assassination. When Arya handed the coin to the captain and said Valar morghulis, there was a lot of vicissitudes in my heart: the child who used to play happily in Winterfell, had loving parents, brothers and sisters, and now bears the secret of revenge, Walk alone.
In Bravos' House of Black and White, she threw away everything but Needle. She wouldn't forget Jon who gave her the sword, she wouldn't forget Winterfell, she wouldn't forget who she was, and she wouldn't forget the names on the list. One day, she'll pick up Needle again, and she'll be on the road to revenge, stronger then.
When I saw Arya kill the homeless child and confidently told Jia Kun that I was going home, my heart was very excited. She certainly never forgot. Jia Kun Miyi smiled, proud and calm. Maybe Arya Stark is just one of the thousands of identities of the No one, Arya became the No one, and she is still Arya.
When I saw her killing old Frey, I felt a little pleasure in my heart, but I was afraid that she would be addicted to it in the future and couldn't extricate herself. Aunt May said she saw darkness in her eyes. I hope she is still the little girl in Winterfell in her heart. I hope she can go home one day and meet Jon, who is already the king of the north, Sansa, who used to be a little bit annoying, and Bran, and reunite with Winterfell. Right and wrong, they must have a lot to say.
She is like this, kind, persistent, brave, clever, following her own heart, these have not changed.
"Let the dust paint your face". Inexplicably, I feel that this line of lyrics is very suitable to describe her.
Countless times I think of her running around and begging in Bravos when she was blind.
Heartbroken people are in the end of the world.
Keep going, Arya.
