This isn’t the first time Willams talked about her character. Arya is her first ever acting role. In April of this year in an interview with GQ UK she talked about her character. “I think that when I started becoming a woman,I resented Arya because I couldn’t express who I was becoming.” Arya Stark from a daughter of an honorable lord becomes an assassinator.
Later on, she was asked what she missed about her character. To which hilariously she responded,”Can I say none of it?,I don’t think it’s healthy to miss it, because I loved it. I look at it so fondly, and I look at it with such pride. But why would I want to make myself feel sad about the greatest thing that ever happened to me? I don’t want to associate that with feelings of pain.”
