Games Of Thrones Season 7: 13 Major Questions From The Trailer

10. Why Is Arya Up North?

Game Of Thrones Season 7 Arya

At the explosive end of season 6, Arya was back to what we love her best for - taking out targets on her Kill List, by single-handedly wiping out the Freys in incredibly gruesome fashion. With her vows to kill Cersei and The Mountain still to be delivered upon, you'd think that she might stick around in the region rather than undertaking any more arduous travelling - even though the pull of home must be pretty hard to ignore.

The key thing here is to accept that something must be dragging her North to set aside her targets temporarily. Could she be drawn to Bran? Might she uncover something while she's still in the South that compels her back North to tell her family? How much does she even know her family are alive anyway? And even if she does, would she even be drawn to her siblings other than Jon?

Maybe she's looking for Gendry, and she'll be drawn to the Brotherhood Without Banners and a reunion with The Hound? God, we can hope.

And as a bonus, will we get to see her and Nymeria finally reunited now that she's closer to home?
