3. Arya's Kills Meryn Trant
In Season 5, we met up with Arya Stark, who went from little girl to full-blown-assassin in the short time we've known her, make her first faceless kill when she attacked Meryn Trant by gouging his eyes out, stabbing his chest numerous times and slit his throat for good measure. In the books though, Arya doesn't kill Meryn Trant in this way, but Raff, a former henchman of Gregor Clegane who helped take Arya and her friends captive in A Clash With Kings, and killed her friend Lommy in the books. In an already released chapter from The Winds of Winter, Raff goes to Braavos to guard an envoy from Kings Landing, and that's where Arya seduces him and takes him to her room. She tires him out by running and proceeds to stab him in the thigh, damaging his femoral artery and when he pleads her to take him to the healers, she proceeds to stab him in the throat. She also makes him say Lommy's last words, the same as she did in the show when she killed Polliver, the guy who killed Lommy in the show.
