Unlike most highborn girls of her age who learn how to stitch and weave, young Arya was out in the fields of her humble domain of Winterfell with a wooden sword and if she dared, a bow. Because of her deviant lifestyle, the girl comes off as stupidly brave and obnoxiously annoying due to her persistent curiosity as all children tend to have. Sadly, this also made her a bit of an outcast throughout her family and constantly was bickering with her older sister, Sansa. Yet, do not be mistaken, as her family is above everything else in her eyes and her tomboy-personality often leaves a person with a smile on their face. Over the course of events, however, Arya becomes increasingly more and more hollowed and vengeful. At this point in time, however, her desire to seek redemption had just only began to set in her torn heart. [b][u]Backstory[/u][/b] Arya Stark is the youngest daughter and third child of Eddard "Ned" Stark and Catelyn Stark.(Tully). She has two younger brothers, Bran and Rickon, an older sister, Sansa, her older brother Robb, and finally a bastard brother named Jon Snow. Being born in the far Northlands (fitting called "The North") of a sprawling continent named Westeros, Arya lived a fairly peaceful and humble life. Years upon years ago, her father and a close friend of his led a rebellion to overthrow the rulers of all of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, or more commonly known as The Iron Throne. With her father putting his most beloved friend and practical brother on the throne as Robb was just born at the end of the war, sixteen long years had past since then. Arya herself was lucky, as she was born within the summer. In Westeros, the summers can last up to ten years, and the winters can last up to ten years. At the age she is now, winter is merely a few years away from once again arriving. Not too long ago, Arya, Sansa, and her father were summoned by the king to reside within King's Landing, the capital of the Seven Kingdoms. With the mysterious death of the King's Hand being investigated, King Robert decided that it was best to have his dearest friend and practical brother Ned Stark on his side. Not only that, but having the Stark daughters within the capital could have marriages to be arranged to secure alliances with other ruling noble families. In King's Landing, she met a dancing instructor named Syrio, who quickly taught Arya how to properly defend herself in combat. As much as she wished her brother Jon could of had taught her how to use a sword, Arya knew that he had to go to The Wall and protect the entire empire from the threats of the nomadic barbarians known as Wildings. Soon, however, such happy times were hastily shut away. As a result of political intrigue and the seizing of power from House Lannister (the house King Robert married into), Arya has been in exile as masquerading as a bastard boy heading to the The Wall for her own safety. After seeing her family ripped apart from her eyes and the looming banners of war being raised throughout the entire empire, Arya's long trek to find some sort of solace had just only begun... [b][u]Equipment[/b][/u] [i]Needle[/i] -A very short, thin, rapier that is well-crafted by Winterfell's blacksmiths. This was a present by Jon Snow before he left to guard The Wall, as all bastards, thieves, and crooks tend to go to avoid punishment. It is very dear to her, as Jon Snow served as a very protective brotherly figure to Arya and was one of the few family members in Winterfell she could truly relate to as both of them were social outcasts- [b][u]Physical Traits[/u][/b] Due to her petite, lithe form for even a girl of her age, Arya is very swift and agile. Do not underestimate her, as she easily poke her target full of holes with her rapier when needed with deadly accuracy. Also, with her rather deviant appearance and personality, one can easily mistake the girl for a boy. Whilst her voice is not as deep as a boy going through the beginning stages of puberty, [b][u]Super Abilities[/b][/u] None [b][u]Weakness and Fears[/u][/b] Obviously, she is not physically strong per say, and in direct combat she would most certainly lose. Not to mention, even with all the horrors that she has witnessed herself, the girl is simply still a child. [b][u]**Other**[/u][/b] Winter is Coming[/center]
