Game Of Thrones: Ranking The Probability Of Every Character Death At The Battle Of Winterfell

25. Arya Stark

Now we get to the last of the characters that George R.R. Martin once said would make it to the end - the others being Jon, Dany, Tyrion, and Bran - and the one most at risk of the bunch, at least if the trailers are to be believed.

It's hard not to watch the footage of Arya, blood and sweat streaming down her face, running through the halls of Winterfell and not be at least a little concerned about her. Which is entirely the point of that tease, and part of the reason she'll survive - they wouldn't include such an overt hint at her death in the trailer if she was actually going to die.

As with the other Starks, Arya should make it to the finale, although she is perhaps the one who could die at Winterfell and you could see why. She still needs to reconcile her quest for vengeance, whether that's finishing her kill list or, preferably, realising it's not the right path to go down. That can't happen until she comes into contact with the names left, Cersei and the Mountain, and thus she should make it south.

Chance Of Death: 2/10
