Arya Stark: The Theory of Everything

This is the fourth installment of my Chaos in Westeros series. Theories and analysis about the future of ASOIAF, including The Winds of Winter. This entry focuses on Arya Stark: what makes her a hero similar to Daenerys, how she still holds House Stark in her heart, when she'll meet Jon Snow again, and how she'll leave Braavos and go home to Westeros in TWOW. I also compare Arya to her show version in HBO's Game of Thrones, which ruined her character as the series progressed, culminating in season 8 :( TWOW Predictions Playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGqWNMmkJYgsjDgXR6BOUR9_c6u9oNNV- Music by Quest Master https://questmaster.bandcamp.com/ Map of Known World by Klaradox https://klaradox.de/maps/ Art credits https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vQ57aNEPOBXGnqXhjfmQUpKhwY0L4YY3xRWKMTWEqpq59hQVcTYZwbBjNOpGOvQfR7LAUxqBncrFs-e/pub Thumbnail art: Arya with Cat by Tiziano Baracchi https://www.deviantart.com/thaldir Arya in Harrenhal with Weirwood by Richard Hescox http://www.richardhescox.com/ Contact: [email protected] Twitter: https://x.com/CrusaderChris89 Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/crusaderchris.bsky.social Sources & further reading: TWOW Mercy chapter https://web.archive.org/web/20140406194844/http://www.georgerrmartin.com/excerpt-from-the-winds-of-winter/ 1993 ASOIAF outline https://www.reddit.com/r/gameofthrones/comments/6nq2ti/main_spoilers_original_3page_outline_by_george_rr/ GRRM script notes re: Ramsay's hounds https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2018/12/game-of-thrones-george-rr-martin-last-script-the-lion-and-the-rose GRRM re: Stark kids' warging abilities https://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/1260 GRRM re: new POVs https://grrm.livejournal.com/487298.html?thread=24468354#t24468354 GRRM re: Nymeria's pack https://mashable.com/archive/george-rr-martin-charity-event Tysha/Sailor's Wife theories https://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Sailor%27s_Wife/Theories Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 2:58 The Weak Little Mouse 7:59 The Lone Wolf & Her pack 15:11 Jon Snow = Braavos 17:41 Mercy & Izembaro 22:04 The Death of Mercy 26:34 Justin Massey & the Arya Starks 34:58 Arya in Westeros 44:15 Home is Where the Snow Is #asoiaf #gameofthrones #houseofthedragon
