6 Best Game Of Thrones Character Pairings (We Never Got To See)

This may seem one of the odder pairings on this list, but it's clear these two would have gotten along famously. Arya would certainly appreciate the acerbic wit and unvarnished honesty of Olenna, as well as her perspective on the absurdity of courtly intrigue that Arya so despised.

The Queen of Thorns also proved herself unusually open to the notion of a female warrior - while most cracked a joke upon first meeting Brienne, Olenna seemed genuinely impressed and perhaps a touch jealous. Neither was shy about calling out foolishness for what it was, even if the fool in question was a dear family member.

For all the role models Arya had over the course of the story, no one shared the unique perspective and position that Olenna had. Especially after her earlier interactions with Sansa, Olenna may have been able to help ease the divide between the two sisters that arose in season seven.

What's more, as two of the better insult artists in the show, it would have been a joy to see them trading barbs over the latest absurd development in Westerosi politics.
