5. She's Basically A Real Life Arya (Without The Killing)
Williams certainly isn't your average teenage girl, nor does Arya fit the stereotype either, and while Williams is keen to stress that she is separate from her character (and all the death that seems to follow her), she's still grown up with a definite Arya streak in her. Way back in 2011, she told TVGuide: "She likes to break the rules and doesn't really like being how everyone thinks she should be. I like playing outside and messing around. When I was in primary school my best friend was a boy and we always goofed around, climbed trees, got holes in my trousers and muddied all my tops and things like that, a complete nightmare for the washing, but great fun. I would always put a bit of Maisie into everything."
