Once Arya gets on the ship to Bravos, and we watch her sail away...that should have been the last time we see her in the story...period. She sailed so far out of the plot, thst her story no longer fits into the larger narrative in any capacity. Plus, I think that is actually quite a satisfying conclusion to her story...that Arya "gets out"..so to speak.

I understand that she is one of GRRM's favorite characters to write, but if I could talk to him and convince of just one thing to help the writing process..it would be be to completely dump all Arya chapters.

Instead her story should continue in smaller novellas or just a series all to herself...like a spin-off, where there can be occasional cross-over with our main characters.

However, in the main series of ASOIAF, her character out ran its usefulness to the plot, long long ago.

So what exactly are bravos? They look like real things from history, but obviously the ASOIAF version is exagerated. Are they thugs? Duelist? The 50s greasers of their time?

Pretty much, yes.

The historical bravos were basically rapiers-for-hire employed by noblemen (quite literally dons) to intimidate their enemies and pad out a noble family's number of armed retainers during a crisis.

They were known for being snappy dressers (as with other mercenaries of the era, fancy livery was part of the wages), for being aggressive bullies who liked to pick fights, for wasting their money on wine, women, and cards (and thus often being flat broke and descending to mugging people when they couldn't find a paying gig), and being the kind of bad boys you kept very far away from your female relations.
