Ever since the season 7 finale of Game of Thrones, it has become pretty evident of the character development that has taken place since the premiere of GoT back in 2011, one of these characters being Arya Stark. Arya began the show as a cute 11 year old who didn't know the meaning of true pain and suffering, and by the end of season seven, she is a highly-skilled fighter and assassin. Here is the evolution of Arya Stark from season one to present day.
1. Season One
She's so cute I could pinch her cheeks. She'd probably stab me though.... Oh, well.
2. Season Two
The fact that she impressed Tywin Lannister shows that she has mad survival skills.
3. Season Three
I probably would've accidentally stabbed myself if I was given a sword at 13.
4. Season Four
She's finally getting that Game of Thrones special detached look.
5. Season Five
Please tell me that I'm not the only one who is freaked out by her eyes.
6. Season Six
I like her short hair a lot better than her shoulder-length cut here.
7. Season Seven
This was the most badass moment in the whole finale. It shows how much the game has changed Arya: from a tomboy with dreams of becoming a soldier, to a loyal and fierce assassin.
