Game Of Thrones: What If… Ned Stark Was Still Alive?
7. Arya Wouldn't Have Become No One
Remember Arya clinging to the statue in Season 1 as Ned was executed? Remember that moment, now think of every single thing Arya has done since then. She's been at Harrenhal, she's been partnered with The Hound, she's trekked to the Eerie, she's almost been taken to the Wall, she's poured Tywin Lannister's wine, she's sailed to Braavos and joined the Faceless Men. Like Bran, Arya's entire journey would've been wiped out and she would've stayed on at Winterfell alongside her mother and brothers. She may not have turned into a 'proper' lady, but she certainly wouldn't have turned into 'no one'. What would've become of her sister though?
