She wondered if he would still call her “little sister.” I’m not so little anymore. He’d have to call me something else. -ASOS, Arya VIII (insp. x, x)

Every Arya & Lyanna parallel: → sword girls

ARYA

— She looked at the sword with wonder in her eyes. For a moment she was afraid to touch it, afraid that if she reached for it it would be snatched away again, but then her father said, "Go on, it's yours," and she took it in her hand. "I can keep it?" she said. "For true?" — "I never learned the lance, but I could beat you with a sword," said Arya.

LYANNA

— Lyanna might have carried a sword, if my lord father had allowed it.

All times Jon Snow and Arya Stark think of each other in ASOIAF

Jon Snow

                                         A Game of Thrones

His half sisters escorted the royal princes. Arya was paired with plump young Tommen, whose white-blond hair was longer than hers. (1)

His sisters Arya and Sansa would marry the heirs of other great houses and go south as mistress of castles of their own. (1)

The memory of her laughter warmed him on the long ride north. (2)

And Arya  …   he missed her even more than Robb, skinny little thing that she was, all scraped knees and tangled hair and torn clothes, so fierce and willful. Arya never seemed to fit, no more than he had  …   yet she could always make Jon smile. He would give anything to be with her now, to muss up her hair once more and watch her make a face, to hear her finish a sentence with him. (3)

I don’t even know who I’m looking for. Most nights it’s my father, but sometimes it’s Robb instead, or my little sister Arya, or my uncle.” (4)

He remembered the day he had left Winterfell, all the bittersweet farewells; Bran lying broken, Robb with snow in his hair, Arya raining kisses on him after he’d given her Needle. (5)

“He’s hopeless with a sword. My sister Arya could tear him apart, and she’s not yet ten. (5)

Even the thought made him feel foolish; he was a man grown now, a black brother of the Night’s Watch, not the boy who’d once sat at Old Nan’s feet with Bran and Robb and Arya. (7)

That might mean Lord Eddard would return to Winterfell, and his sisters as well. He might even be allowed to visit them, with Lord Mormont’s permission. It would be good to see Arya’s grin again and to talk with his father. (7)

“My lord, what of my sisters? Arya and Sansa, they were with my father, do you know—” (7)

The girls do not even have that much, he thought. Their wolves might have kept them safe, but Lady is dead and Nymeria’s lost, they’re all alone. (7)

Jon Snow straightened himself and took a long deep breath. Forgive me, Father. Robb, Arya, Bran … forgive me, I cannot help you. (9)

I dreamed I was a wolf again. She could remember the smells best of all: trees and earth, her pack brothers, the scents of horse and deer and man, each different from the others, and the sharp acrid tang of fear, always the same. Some nights the wolf dreams were so vivid that she could hear her brothers howling even as she woke.

The wolf dreams belonged to Arya of House Stark. Try as she might, though, she could not rid herself of Arya. It made no difference whether she slept beneath the temple or in the little room beneath the eaves with Brusco’s daughters, the wolf dreams still haunted her by night. Arya, AFFC

George did not write Arya naming babies in Winterfell and taking care of a child in the middle of a WARZONE just for y'all to say she's not going to end up with kids/family because she's "not that type of character" 😒

She will always be Arya of Winterfell.

Can you hear me cry??? I was inspired so I did this... I honestly can't wait for Arya to be home again and claim her identity... she has gone through so so much...

She adapts and changes shape like water but she will never forget...

( in the distance you can hear me jumping off a bridge thinking about how in the show she ended up leaving her home and family...)

The 'sansa didn't bully arya" posts are so insane. Like did these sansa stans even read the books? Sansa did bully arya and its a huge part of her characterisation. Sansa and jeyne made fun of aryas appearance and behavior so much that it crushed aryas self esteem. With no fault of arya. Arya still has self esteem issues because of it. In kings landing also sansa bullied her when arya was trying to be kind even threw arya under the bus multiple times which would have gone very wrong for arya if ned and nymeriya were not there to protect her. and wished death upon her too. How could anyone think this is "normal sibling behavior'? Its most definitely not. Its bullying and its serious. Arya still feels the effects of it.The author himself said arya and sansa have deep issues. Its most definitely not normal. Anyone trying to deny this is insane or never read the books.

Why is it a taboo to say that two sibling characters have no more love between them than is socially expected for a family member to have for another, and sometimes not even that? What is it about this statement that it immediately becomes synonymous to calling preteen characters evil? Why is it taboo to say that it makes more sense for the elder sibling who has been a bully to initiate the rebuilding of the relationship and that it won't be easy ( in our understanding). That it might further complicate matters when the other sibling finds out that her sister told everything about the plans to escape to the Lannister queen ( whatever might have been the reasoning). What anxiety is there for people to dismiss all of this, in favour of stark sisters singing kumbaya.

like mother:

He was at the door when she called out to him. 'Jon,' she said. He should have kept going, but she had never called him by his name before. He turned to find her looking at his face, as if she were seeing him for the first time. 'Yes?' he said. 'It should have been you,' she told him.

like daughter:

It was running down her nose and stinging her eyes. Sansa wiped it away with a napkin. When she saw what the fruit in her lap had done to her beautiful ivory silk dress, she shrieked again. "You're horrible," she screamed at her sister. "They should have killed you instead of Lady!"

“Sansa’s teasing of Arya is not bullying because she was hit with an orange one time, so it’s totally mutual.”

So, Arya reacting when Sansa dismisses the deaths of men they had know all their lives and the boy she’d made friends with, on top of her lording the fact Arya won’t be able to call her a liar when she’s Queen means that it was mutual…

I honestly can’t take this interpretation of it seriously at all when it’s so clear in the story that Sansa is the antagonist in the situation and thinks she is righteous in doing so while Arya mostly takes it or runs away from the situation (the only time she ever ‘teases’ Sansa was when she ate a worm when she was little lol). Not to mention, Arya tries to reach out to Sansa multiple times in the first book but gets rejected both times and doesn’t name call back apart from when she starved in the woods for 3 days only for her sister to lie about what she clearly witnessed.

I don’t know why it’s so hard for people to accept that Sansa was the bad guy in their relationship even if Septa Mordane is at the crux of this behavior given her encouragement. They will likely grow into a somewhat cordial relationship but at this point in the story it doesn’t seem likely as Sansa hasn’t changed all that much in regard to her views apart from flip flopping on being cynical

lyanna gets written off as a more “feminine” version of arya when lyanna is genuinely MORE associated with “masculine” pursuits than arya lol lyanna seems to have had some skill with a sword and she was trained in jousting too. arya has neither. lyanna dressed in armor and rode in a tourney as a knight for all the realm to see to make a point. arya was forced to pretend to be a boy for survival.

everything we know suggests lyanna was quite an aggressive and defiant character. in some examples, explicitly more so than even arya (ie: bran’s weirwood vision where she beat benjen’s ass). not a damn thing implies she was secretly ladylike and everyones just ignoring it

Why there are so many modern au that portray Arya as a feral kid who acts violent towards other children and she doesn't know how to socialize with them?

"Arya would make friends with anybody" --> that's a canon quote about her.
