Game Of Thrones Season 6: Predicting 12 Important Character Journeys
10. Arya
HBOThe Starks should be set for a crucial season based on where they were all left. Arya was arguably in the greatest peril, losing her sight in the bizarre House of Black and White. If Bran is going to train in dimly-lit, mysterious surroundings to reach his full potential, then I don't think Arya would be doing the same thing for very long. I can see Arya's blindness wearing out quickly, before completing her training. The question is whether she'll be 'completing her training' on her terms or the Faceless Men's. There's every chance she could flee the temple, pick up Needle and flee back to Westeros, but I think the stubborn Stark will become a Faceless Man and be deployed to Westeros with a mission to kill. I could easily see the Season ending with Arya on the return journey unfurling the name of her victim without showing the audience. That could be the cliffhanger. Arya is sent to kill a major player of the game, but we don't know who it is. Leading into Season 7, the suspense could last until someone has died by her hand, like a reverse 'whodunnit?' murder mystery.
