.anna.

You ask and I shall deliver!!

she’s leading the very men her father once sent out to do justice, an action that in itself led the mountain to start terrorising the riverlands. she’s trying to right the wrongs being done to the smallfolk as a direct result of the war her mother and her brother are participating in. and in the process, she chooses mercy over senseless vengeance even though the men in question were the worst of the worst. this is arya acting as ned, catelyn and robb’s narrative heir.

and once she returns to the riverlands, she will choose mercy again, which will be highlighted in her confrontation with LSH, who is herself terrorising the riverlands in the name of vengeance. and after LSH’s death, arya will be the one to unite the people of the riverlands in a way neither ned, robb, nor catelyn ever could, just like nymeria united all the wolves of the riverlands into a single pack.

A knight who remembered his vows.
