7 questions for Game of Thrones season 7
By Corey Smith
7. What is Arya up to?
Unlike past seasons, the trailers were rather sparse with appearances by Ms. Arya Stark of Winterfell. The girl who was formally no one did make it home to Westeros in season 6 though, so it should only be a matter of time before we see her reunited with someone from her family. That is, however, unless our favorite teenage assassin is intent on crossing more names off her infamous list.
When last we saw Arya, she was executing Walder Frey at the Twins. Located in the Riverlands, the Twins are essentially in the middle of Westeros, meaning geographically it’s hard to guess Arya’s intentions. Most of the snippets we’ve seen of Arya are of her traveling as well, so she is obviously headed somewhere. Home to Winterfell? Or off to murder Cersei in the Red Keep?
It all hinges on what information Arya is working with most likely. Should Arya learn of Sansa and Jon’s victory at Winterfell, we’d guess she heads home. Without handy things like the internet though, news like the Starks retaking Winterfell doesn’t always make the rounds. In that case, we’d bet on Arya heading to King’s Landing to continue her Kill Bill style quest for revenge. We don’t know which option we want more. All the feels of a Sansa/Jon/Arya reunion, or the glee of watching Cersei finally put in the cold ground. Decisions, decisions.
