8. No 'Buddy' Pairing

When Arya set off for Braavos, fans were excited to see her reunited with Jaqen for a cool, swashbuckling partnership but that simply didn't happen.

Arya's finest scenes in the whole show have revolved around her interactions with others and increasingly unlikely pairings she's found herself in. Arya and The Hound remain one of the greatest duos in Thrones history.

However, since she left Sandor for dead, Arya has been isolated. For a lone wolf like her, it's probably not a huge surprise that the writers took her leagues beyond her comfort zone, but there's no denying Arya is at her finest with a 'buddy' figure at her side, whoever that may be.
