When Arya returned to Winterfell she told Sansa that she had a list of people she was going to kill and Sansa chuckled. I see this scene as Arya saying I'm not the girl you remember, but I'm still your sister and I will never harm you.

[@Knights_of_Zurg]

The beauty of this scene is that if Arya wanted to kill Sansa, she could have right there. by handing her the knife, she was telling Sansa she had no intention of killing her or taking her place. That's why, when Littlefinger tried to convince her that Arya wanted to kill her and become "Lady of Winterfell" it rang false to her. So of course, her next step was to consult the Encyclopedia Bran-tanica to get the truth. Then it was all over for littlefinger.

Cersei was pretty predictable really, and I don't think she ever saw Sansa as a threat before Tyrion and she were framed for Joffrey's murder. As for Ayra, she had seen and done all kinds of weird shit in Bravoos. Sansa had no idea what she was capable of.

[@embaggins]

i'd say that's a pretty normal reaction for sansa to have to be fair; she has grown up with arya, they played together as children and had a lot of love for one another. now? they've been apart for so long. years have passed and they've both grown up apart, and gone through things that neither one of them can imagine on the other. so for sansa to see this complete change in arya's actions and personality must be really unsettling. at least cersei was predictable in her malice and cruelty, whereas sansa is now completely unaware of arya's intentions. she used to be able to understand her little sister, but now she seems almost like a stranger. makes sense for her to feel apprehensive i think same goes for the hound too tbh: arya is great at keeping up her walls and holding a straight face. it would be very hard for someone to predict what she was going to do next, and that's why people fear her. she's unpredictable, but in a very calculated way. when she wants to, she has complete control of the room. i think especially as she's young too, the hound likely feared what she was going to become in the future. having such a thirst for blood/revenge at that age can create a monster. i'm not sure why, but i always thought that the hound hoped she wouldn't become that monster. and part of his fear towards her was not because he was afraid of her, but afraid _for_ her. he could see her becoming more and more unlike the young girl he met so long ago, and knew after a point there would be no more coming back from the things she had done. i suppose he didn't want her to make the same mistakes that he did

[@Blackdragon99omfg]

There is a depth to this. Arya knows the walls are listening. She’s not intimidating Sansa, she’s intimidating spies whilst pretending Sansa is her target. Handing Sansa the knife is a silent oath of loyalty. “My blade is Yours” Arya just declared her allegiance. Told Sansa WHY she left the Faceless men behind.

In the books, she’s a little girl who desperately wanted to be accepted and fit in, but she just could not. She was envious of Sansa at times because she was so “perfect” and ladylike. Arya also wanted to be a lady at certain points, she just could not do it. Eventually she is led to kill for survival because of the tragedy that unfolds around her. A little girl becoming a cold hearted killer is her tragic story. She has many moments where she misses Sansa and she does wish she could have been the lady Catelyn wanted her to be. She thinks she’s a failure because she could not live up to those expectations, and she feels lost and broken inside.

"Oh yes, Little Sister has come into her own and is now the most dangerous person on the planet. Aren't you happy we're still friends dear sister, now get out of my stuff and close the door on your way out!?" I think Arya wins the game, no opposition.

Littlefinger didn't know who he was messing with Arya is a completely different person than she was when she was a child she is a faceless assassin who is loyal to her family and Littlefinger found out the hard way because it cost him his life.

@@pathetic2399 Getting Winterfell ready for battle. Managing the place while Jon's away. The respect from other Northern leaders to the extent that many preferred her to Jon.

To quote Tyrion, "I believe you will survive us all."

[@michaelburns1096]

She could read people better than any Stark ...or Snow. She had to study the best: Cersei, Ramsay and Littlefinger. That is a hell of an apprenticeship. She always found her strongest allies in bad people turned good: Marjorie and Theon. I don't think Arya could out manipulate her. She is the primary reason Bran ended up King and her Queen of the North by finding out Jon's past and telling everyone immediately. She took Dany's support from her.

Arya was by far my favorite character. Watch her go from be the hunted to hunter was awesome. She was straight up a boss. I wish they would have spun off and did a series around her.

[@skydiver91]

Would it be a stretch to say that by the end, Arya had become one of the deadliest characters in the entire show... you just get that unnerving sense that she is a master death-dealer and that her life experiences, training and ruthlessness allowed her to become an elite assassin. DAMN I love her!!

[@Dhaiwon]

You could probably stay safe, but you could never again be alone. Imagine needing to have at least 3, and preferably more, guards with you no matter what you do, be it sleeping, shitting or anything else. Also, never again being able to let any single individual close to you. No maids to clean or dress you, no girls in bed, no one can be close enough to strike you before the guards can get to you. At some point of that, most would probably choose death anyway...

[@fayethayer1677]

I knew Arya was gonna be an over powered character when she was working as a servant boy and made the subtle jab “Anyone can be killed” when asked about the Starks.

@@shwetanavani480 ? In the show, most of the women's storylines are that their agency is constantly and consistently robbed from them.

Arya never and still didn't care or wondered what those "pretty dresses" and "being a lady" is like. "That's not her." Sansa knew this too. This scene wasn't about threatening Sansa or tension between the two of them at all.
