Game Of Thrones: 8 Book Ages That Will Shock You

4. Arya Stark Was 10 When She Made Her First Kill

Little Arya Stark was never your typical girl's girl. She was a bit of a tomboy from the beginning, preferring pants to dresses and swords to sewing needles. She was just a 10-year-old girl when the Game of Thrones begun, after all. Luckily when all hell broke lose, she had had some sword practice with her "dance instructor" Syrio beforehand, but even that wasn't enough to prepare her for her first kill. When she realized that everyone in King's Landing had gone completely mental and started to attack her family and their men, she rushed to a nearby stable to find dozens of dead bodies lying on the ground, and when a stable boy threatened to hand her over to Lannister guards she stabbed him with her trusty sword, Needle. Crazy when you consider that when you were 10, you were probably still playing with scalextric or Barbie.
