- I was once Arya of House Stark, now I am no one, but the blade remains sharp, as does my will.
- Each step away from Winterfell was a step towards becoming something formidable, something they never saw coming.
- Survival isn’t just about hiding; it’s about changing, adapting—becoming the hunter instead of the hunted.
- They thought they could snuff out the fire of a Stark; they only spread the embers to create something fiercer.
- I didn’t lose myself to become no one; I found a new strength, a new purpose in the shadows.
- Every night, the names keep the fire of vengeance alive; each one a promise to the ghosts of my past.
- They say vengeance darkens the soul, but mine was darkened by their deeds long before my list.
- Justice and vengeance are two sides of the same blade I wield; one cuts for truth, the other for the heart.
- In a world that forgets wrongs, I keep a ledger of debts that I intend to settle.
- The list isn’t just names; it’s a path back to myself, each name a step closer to closure.
- A girl has many faces, and beneath each one lies another lesson, another truth about the world.
- In the game of faces, you learn that your true face is the one they never see.
- Masks are not to hide with but to free ourselves from the eyes that bind us.
- I wear identities like armor, and in each, I find a piece of myself I never knew existed.
- To survive, I became them all, and in doing so, I found the parts of me that no one could take away.
- The Hound taught me that even in a man’s brutality, there can be lessons worth learning.
- We were each other’s sword and shield, not out of love, but out of necessity.
- In every growl of the Hound, there was a lesson; in every silence, a story.
- Sandor was a mirror of hard truths, showing me what I might become if I let hate lead the way.
- We walked through fire and blood as foes, yet stood side by side when the world demanded it.
- Syrio Forel taught me the dance of water; Jaqen H’ghar, the silence of shadows.
- From Syrio, I learned to see with eyes wide open; from Jaqen, to close them and still see.
- Every mentor gave me a tool, some steel, some stealth, all parts of the arsenal I carry within.
- Tywin Lannister never knew he was a teacher too, in the craft of power and the price of ambition.
- Each lesson was a building block, each mentor a mason; together they built the warrior I became.
- They told me I could be a lady; I chose to be a sword.
- In the dance of steel, it matters not if you are a man or a woman—only how well you strike.
- They tried to cage me with their expectations, but I forged my own path, beyond the roles they assigned.
- A lady is what they expected; a warrior is what they got. Both are me, and neither.
- In every whisper of ‘you can’t’, I found a shout of ‘I will’—not as the lady they desired, but the fighter they feared.
- Every step I take, every road I follow, leads me back to Winterfell, to the home that lives within me.
- The North remembers, and so does a Stark; our roots run deeper than the crypts.
- I carry the name Stark—each enemy I fell, each shadow I move through, I do so in the name of my house, my family.
- Though scattered like leaves in the wind, we Starks cling to the memory of our woods, strong and unbending.
- Winterfell is not just a place, but a part of my soul—wherever I go, it goes with me, in the wolf blood that keeps me warm.
- Needle is my companion, my memory of Winterfell, a slender thread linking me to the North.
- With Needle in my hand, I am not just Arya Stark; I am the echo of every Winterfell whisper, every brother’s laugh, every sister’s hug.
- This blade, my Needle, is a part of my family, a silent Stark, as sharp and enduring as our honor.
- Needle is not just a tool of war, but a keeper of peace—my peace, carved from the reminders of home.
- More than steel, Needle stitches my past with my present, each thread woven with memories of home and the promise of return.
- I’ve danced with death more often than with life; each step taught me not the fear of dying, but the value of living.
- When you look into the eyes of death, you learn who you truly are—fearless, fierce, or forgotten.
- Death is a familiar path, shadowed and dark, but a path I walk with eyes open and blade ready.
- To the many-faced god I am no stranger; we’ve met in the whispers of the slain and the silence they leave behind.
- Death once seemed an end, now just another opponent in my dance, one I lead, not follow.
- Inside me there’s a wolf and a warrior, both fighting under the same pelt, both hungry for justice.
- Every battle scars the body, every loss scars the soul, but from each I rise, a little more wolf, a little more warrior.
- I am Arya of House Stark, the wolf who wears a warrior’s skin, as fierce as winter, as free as the wind.
- With each kill, I harden; with each loss, I sharpen—like a blade forged by the fires of my trials.
- The wolf urges me to roam, the warrior to fight; together, they guide me on a path forged by fury and honed by hardship.
