Game of Thrones is back on Sunday and we're all getting a tad bit excited about the return of our favourite characters. We get to see more of Jaime, Daenerys and the rest of the crew. But mostly, we're really looking forward to revisiting Arya Stark on her journey. When we last encountered our fiery heroine she was sailing off to Essos. What she'll experience there, we just don't know. (Unless you've read the books, in which case you definitely know so shut up.) Here's a reminder why Arya is the most bad ass character in Game of Thrones and why we will always love her, even if she keeps killing people.
1) Her kill list is complete
Not all by her but we'll let that slide
2) She took out the Night King

Saved everyone a lot of hassle
3) She takes what she wants
Just ask Gendry

4) She's got serious talent with a sword
Dancing lessons + assassin training = a threatening proposition
5) She's way cooler than her sister.
Sansa's gotten better but still seems like a bit of a dose

6) She laughs in the face of traditional gender roles.
7) She took Joffrey down.

This was just gas
8) She's slightly terrifying when she says this.
Its just a part of the trained assassin aesthetic
9) She won't ever let you talk shit about her family.

When the Starks have been through as much as they have, they've gotta stick together
10) And you REALLY don't want to call her a lady.
Again, just ask Gendry
Preach Arya.
