Having been out of the loop for a good while, it seems unlikely that she knows it’s currently in the hands of the Boltons, which could make for some drama if that’s still the case when she gets there. The first, as she stated at the end of the most recent episode, is that she’s ‘going home’, by which she presumably means Winterfell. Which is exactly what we should expect from Arya this coming season on Game of Thrones.įollow Marie Claire on F (opens in new tab) acebook (opens in new tab) for the latest celeb news, beauty tips, fascinating reads, livestream video, and more.There are two options here. In other words, focusing on the words that identify the kind of person we want to be (as opposed to labels that carry a lot of expectations) helps us move toward what we actually want-whether that's giving up your corporate gig to go to art school or quitting your magic assassin band to avenge your medieval family's deaths solo.
And then identity is also who you want to be, words that you would use to describe yourself-'successful,' 'happy,' 'confident.'" Things like 'female,' 'daughter,' 'mother'-whatever it is, those specific words. "We have to start with an actual identity reformulation for ourselves, which means just with us, just by ourselves, not with anyone else because identity is on many levels, who we are. Tami West, author of The Stress Club: Stop Participating, Take Your Power Back, and Start Living Your Own Life. The key to balancing those is reformulating how you identify yourself, according to Dr. "The art of being human and being an authentic human is to be cognizant of the social cues and the shoulds and the people around you, but to also be cognizant of what's going on inside of you because both are important," Thacker says. She's punished (with the loss of her eyesight) and forced to learn a degree of self-monitoring in order to get back up (and, you know, get to see again). Because Arya is in a complex organization though, this doesn't go over well. She uses her newfound face-changing power to take out Ser Meryn Trant, who killed her fencing instructor Syrio Forel-even though the Many-Faced God didn't ask for his death. She wants to answer to her own moral compass. She doesn't want to answer to the Many-Faced God. Arya joins an organization-the Faceless Men at the House of Black and White-and tries to conform to its rules.Įxcept, as much as Arya wants to want the life of a Faceless Man, it's the idea of being a Faceless Man that she's enamored with, not the actual lifestyle (and who hasn't been there, projecting too much onto a "dream job"?). When they finally part ways and she begins her journey to Bravos, it looks like she's turning over a new leaf. She continues to self-monitor at a minimal level throughout her journey with the Hound, repeatedly telling him that he's on her kill list. Arya manages to self-monitor in especially dire situations-when she's pretending to be a boy on her way to The Wall and when she's briefly employed as Tywin Lannister's cup bearer-but even then, not particularly well (Gendry discovers she's a girl and Tywin catches several clues that she's not the low-born girl she's pretending to be). She would have acted on her feelings without a second thought.
She would have spat in Joffrey's face, or tried to murder him in the Throne Room. It's a good thing Arya was taken out of King's Landing immediately after Ned Stark's death, because she wouldn't have lasted long.
