10 Things You Didn't Know About Maisie Williams

4. She Learned To Become Left-Handed For Arya

If you ever needed any more evidence to prove that Maisie Williams is 100% committed to putting everything into Game of Thrones, she actually taught herself to become left-handed to match Arya on the show. Also in that previously mentioned TVGuide article, Williams explains: "I'm right-handed, and when Mom was reading the first book, she told me about Arya being left-handed. From then on, I was like, 'Alright, I'm going to try to do everything left-handed.' When I was practicing out in the garden and things I would do left-handed just to feel that rhythm. "Unfortunately, when it came to filming, sometimes I have to do things right-handed because of the camera angle and things like that. So some people are a bit annoyed that Arya hasn't done everything left-handed. I wanted to. I really did. But sometimes it was just too tricky and we couldn't do it."
