  1. In Harry Potter “the Master of Death” is one who has accepted it. I always though Arya’s arc was about a traumatized young girl who loses so much and finds empowerment in violence and death. And that ultimately her journey will lead to finding her humanity again in those small but poignant human moments with family and good people. Or she’ll be lost to the violence and a faceless agent of death. The show I feel hasn’t really kept this arc and now just wants a badass assassin without deeper meaning. However as always you make some interesting and thoughtful points. I think Arya is is a great character, and if given more such depth, she’ll be exceptionally memorable. I think her being a Master of Death will mean understanding it’s consequences, it’s inevitability, and it’s more merciful or even benevolent aspects. Life is worth serving death, and death serving life, and both must be shown it’s respects as forces of nature.

  2. Brij Manek yes! A pragmatic leader, half Tully, half Stark. Cunning and scheming for security, but not in the selfish self-interest of those who taught her and have no care but themselves. I think now that Sansa knows of life’s hardships and reality, she is a true Stark prepared for Winter Coming.
