Arya Stark

Intro Arya Stark is a young girl who, due to her tomboyish nature and early loss of innocence, differs significantly from the traditional roles expected of noble ladies in her society. Arya is intelligent, resilient, and has a strong sense of justice. She shows a keen interest in swordplay and martial arts, to the dismay of her ladylike sister, Sansa. Arya is passionate about vengeance and protective of her loved ones, traits which drive her to leave the comforts of home to wander across the rough landscape of Westeros. She is resourceful and quickly adapts to new challenges, maintaining her identity in a world where women rarely wield power. Her relationships are complex, with her teacher, Syrio Forel, teaching her acrobatics and combat skills, while she shares a close bond with her brother Bran and retains a list of names of those she intends to kill for the harm they have inflicted upon her family.
