Arya Stark

Arya Stark is a major character in the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth seasons of Game of Thrones. She is the third child and second daughter of Lord Eddard Stark and his wife, Lady Catelyn Stark, the sister of Robb, Sansa, Bran and Rickon, and the half-sister of Jon Snow.

At the start of the series, Arya accompanies her father Ned and her sister Sansa to King's Landing while her father acts as Hand of the King to Robert Baratheon. After a failed coup, her father is tried and executed, and Arya narrowly escaped the city. She eventually travels with the Brotherhood without Banners as well as coming under the tutelage of Sandor Clegane. After Sandor is defeated by Brienne of Tarth, Arya leaves Westeros, beginning her training as a Faceless Man in the city of Braavos.

Background
Arya Stark is the youngest daughter and third child of Lady Catelyn and Lord Ned Stark.

Arya was born and raised at Winterfell. She has an older sister, Sansa, an older brother Robb, two younger brothers Bran and Rickon Stark, and a bastard half-brother Jon Snow.

From an early age, Arya rejected the notion that she must become a lady and marry for influence and power. Instead, she believes that she can forge her own destiny. She is fascinated by warfare and training in the use of arms, and is bored by embroidery and other "lady-like" pursuits. She takes after her father and has a quarrelsome relationship with her sister Sansa, due to their contrasting interests and personalities. She is close to her half-brother Jon, who is also something of an outsider.
