Game Of Thrones: 10 Ways Cersei Could Die

10. Arya Gets Her List Back On

Game Of Thrones Arya Stark Season 7

For a while there, it looked like Arya was turning away from being the Faceless Serial Killer with a handy Bag O Faces, but then Littlefinger found a crack in her relationship with Sansa and poured in the expanding foam of Sansa's apparent betrayal of Ned Stark to mess things up. And now, Arya is flirting dangerously with becoming the fully realised monster she looked when she killed off the Freys.

Importantly, Littlefinger's machinations might have made it far more likely that Arya leaves Winterfell once more and heads south, no longer distracted by the call of home from her driving agenda - to complete her Kill List as best as she can.

You absolutely shouldn't rule out Arya going straight for Cersei if that turns out to be the case. She's already expressed her desire to kill the Queen this season, and if she discovers that Littlefinger is conspiring with her to try and destroy her bond with Arya, it's likely to steel her resolve even more.

Arya is arguably the most dangerous wildcard in this equation, thanks to her ability to change faces, and Cersei wouldn't even see her coming. And it would definitely be the right way to end Arya's vengeance arc - with her symbolically plunging the Catspaw dagger into the Queen who tried to have her brother killed.
