8. Where Will Arya Go Next?

After two seasons wasting time in Braavos, Arya would a bloody, vengeful return to Westeros in the Season 6 finale. It was as joyous a moment as watching an old man having his throat slit open by a young girl can possibly be (and it's a disturbing amount of joy tbh), and announces that Arya Stark is very much back.

The question, then, is where does she go from here? Her brother and sister have retaken Winterfell, and her going home and reuniting with them would be a great moment for all involved, given the Starks have been separated for so long. However, it doesn't seem as though it'll be that straightforward, and it's likely she'll run into some other characters first.

Given that the Hound and the Brotherhood were in the Riverlands, could a meeting with them be on the cards? It seems unlikely, given their proximity, past relationships, and fact that they've all been on her kill list, that a meeting wouldn't happen. And if it does, is there any chance it could also mean a reunion for Arya and Gendry. He's got to be somewhere, right?

The alternative for Arya is that she heads south, and attempts to cross off the biggest name on her kill list. I don't see this as the likely option, and think Jaime will probably be the one to kill Cersei, but for as long as Arya and Cersei are both breathing it can't be totally ruled out.
