What do you think will happen to Arya in TWOW? (sorry if this question was answered before)
Here are my thoughts:
> takes new identities
> gets acquainted with the Iron Bank
> Has her first period
> gets acquainted with courtesans
> visits the house with red door at some point
> hears Arya Stark is in town 🤡 and married to Ramsay Snow
> hears about Jon
> Uncloaking carnival, she reveals herself
> Goes to Riverlands
> meets Gendry and I cry
> meets LSH and I cry
> kills LSH and I cry
> meets Blackfish
> Joins Tully and Stark in her arms
> Leads the BWB to stop bloodshed and protect the people
> reunites with Nymeria
> the story ends with her taking Robb’s crown to the North
I can dream, right?
honestly, you covered nearly all of my bases lol. the only big things you didn't mention that are on my bingo card:
communicates with bran: idk that will have full conversations or anything (based on that jon and bran scene from acok it IS possible) but i do think arya will realize her little brother is alive which will influence her direction after leaving braavos. even from beyond the wall i see him getting mixed up in the stoneheart mess
hardhome refugees: this has to go somewhere.
the sealord subplot: he will play a major role in arya’s twow arc. i am fairly convinced that arya will save him from being poisoned. and it might be that arya's big identity "reveal" in braavos is to the sealord.
meets tyrion: i just cannot shake the feeling that they are crossing paths in twow.
it might be that we're both dreaming, but i feel like this is a very reasonable speculation list. each point has got plenty of support in the text (including twoiaf). theres set up for all the braavos stuff and plenty to suggest arya will return to the riverlands too (most notably: grrm’s confirmation that a/g will be reunited which, assuming gendry stays put, implies arya will return to the crossroads; putting her in nymeria and lsh’s orbit)
the only thing im unsure about is arya heading north in the end. im very into the theory that harrenhal will serve as HQ for the long night and if thats the case theres no reason to subject everyone to a march up north. but we’ll just have to wait and see how that plays out.
