Game Of Thrones: 10 Questions We're Asking After 'Hardhome'

8. How Does Arya's Story Fit In?

Arya has always been a popular figure with the fans for all kinds of reasons, from her 'rough and tumble' approach to life, adventurous spirit and of course, that laugh outside of the Bloody Gate. She had huge, huge potential but her storyline for most of Season 5 has been very slow. Now there's been a change of scenery, she's been given a new target, and we get to see Braavos. It was quite literally a breath of fresh air, exactly what fans needed, as well as Arya. But what will her assassin training lead to? What is the end game? She has one of the few storylines not connected to the war for the Iron Throne or the Wall. When will she leap into either major plot arc, and what will her role be? She's obviously going to have to eliminate somebody extremely powerful at some stage, but as the show hots up, her adventures will need to pick up the pace if she is to become a realistically brilliant Faceless Man.
