I have told you of the founding of our order, of how the first of us answered the prayers of slaves who wished for death. So has it always been, from the beginning. “We give the gift to those marked by Him of Many Faces, after prayers and sacrifice. “And are you a god, to decide who should live and who should die?” he asked her. Dareon had been a deserter from the Night’s Watch he had deserved to die.She had said as much to the kindly man. Nor did the Faceless Men simply discard her afterward: Nor did Arya attempt to hide the fact that she did it - she was the one who chose to bring it up to the kindly man, and who identified the killer as “Arya of House Stark”. Who are you?”Īrya took it on herself to kill Dareon, for reasons that were purely personal - or, to be more specific, personal because Arya Stark decided to kill him because of what was important to Arya Stark, as opposed to than the agent of the Faceless Men formerly known as Arya Stark being commissioned to kill him. “That girl? I thought she had left Braavos. “Arya of House Stark.” She watched his eyes, his mouth, the muscles of his jaw. “Who could have done this thing, I wonder?” “Just so.” She tried to keep her face still. Someone slit his throat and pushed him into a canal, but they kept his boots.” He was really a deserter from the Night’s Watch. The black singer who was sleeping at the Happy Port. They’re loyal to the Starks through and through.Well, Arya’s really had only one major “failure” to become no one that the Faceless Men know about - that is, killing Dareon: Arya’s people aren’t going to snitch on her if she told them not to and it was a lot of generals and warriors in the hall when she did it.

“Even if it did, would Cersei know to suspect someone had stolen his face if he showed up to there? That’s a wild thing to believe if you don’t know that the faceless men are an actual thing.”īut it easily could have stayed in Winterfell for her to devise a plan. That information wouldn’t necessarily get back to Kings Landing,” they pointed out. “A few dozen people on the other side of the continent saw him die. However, user u/TheIconGuy has a good point, too. Some people on Reddit rebutted that and noted Arya did publicly kill Littlefinger, therefore word could have spread of his death, rendering this skill useless. Arya Stark (Williams) kills off Littlefinger in Season 7 | Helen Sloane/HBO But, nope! And fans were left with the lackluster death-by-cement Cersei got instead. Or, even better, she could have killed Jaime and used his face to poetically kill Cersei, fulfilling her prophecy (which never happened). She could have literally done anything and used his face to get closer to Cersei, who was number one on her list. She could have pretended to devise a plot or have inside information on Winterfell. Reddit user u/MissRevivalArmy wrote, “Remember when Arya went through a shitload of training to wear faces and killed Littlefinger, one of the most influential and powerful people in Westeros but never used his face.” She killed Littlefinger in the season finale of Season 7, yet never uses his face to her advantage in King’s Landing or anywhere else, or at all for that matter. She killed Littlefinger, yet never used his face to her advantage Her kill list wasn’t just some fantasy she was easily checking it off. She deceived Walder Frey because of it, killed his sons and all his men, and got away with it. But Arya’s skill was definitely the most-lethal skill one could have without a weapon. Yes, Daenerys had three full-grown dragons, the most-dangerous weapon or creature one could possess in Westeros. They worship the Many-Faced God, and they have the power to shapeshift into whomever they kill. She studied under him and the other Faceless Men at the House of Black and White.

But unfortunately, the final season didn’t put that to good use.

She proved to be lethal and had one of the highest body counts on the show. She combined combat skills with the technique of the Faceless Men. Her arc took her far away from Winterfell and the rest of her family, but she became one of the fiercest fighters in Westeros. She was the second youngest Stark child and was a tiny girl at the start of the show. Despite the backlash Game of Thrones’ Season 8 received, Arya Stark was a bright light throughout the final six episodes.
