13. Arya’s Checklist: A Girl Has A Name
Arya is on a revenge-driven rampage right now, and if the Faceless Men of Braavos couldn’t channel her rage, I doubt anything else can. She’s coming to avenge her family, and she’s doing it in bloodthirsty fashion. But Arya’s story isn’t simple. She’s connected to a web of events that may or may not be a distraction to her. For better or worse, Arya is linked to Jaqen H’ghar and the faceless god, and who’s to say that he won’t show up again in Season 7? We don’t know if his plan was to set her on this path from the very beginning, or if her actions have angered the Faceless Men. Also, won’t it be interesting to find out just who these Faceless Men are? Will they lend their stealthy warriors to Arya’s cause?
Arya’s storyline is important because right now she’s a rogue element in the series that isn’t defined by the war at hand. She’s a wildcard, throwing a wrench into everyone’s plans without caution, which for better or worse f*cks everyone’s plans up. Either way, Season 7 will focus on Arya’s merciless adventures just to see who she allies herself with, and whose throat has the unfortunate destiny of meeting her trusty blade.
12. Tyrion’s Ascension
Tyrion Lannister has always been a central character on Game of Thrones and as of right now, his arc is ascending towards a place of great power at the side of Daenerys Targaryen. Once mocked as “the imp”, Tyrion has been through the hoops and is now returning to settle a score with his sister for having him banished in the first place. But that’s not all there is to the fan-favorite Tyrion Lannister. There’s also the rumor that he could be of the Targaryen bloodline.
Take into account the fact that Drogon’s siblings left him unharmed, the prophecy of three dragon riders still lingers, and Tyrion’s story of how he has always been fascinated with the winged beasts, and there’s a very real possibility that we’re on the verge of a reveal that rivals that of Jon Snow’s mother’s identity. But, even if Tyrion isn’t revealed to be a Targaryen, his reunion with siblings Jaime and Cersei is inevitable, and when that happens it could either end with Tyrion being in grave danger, Jaime taking Tyrion’s side and incurring Cersei’s wrath, or the youngest Lannister finally getting his vengeance by toppling Cersei’s empire. Either way, it’s bound to be extremely exciting, and Tyrion’s storyline will be central in the upcoming season of Game Of Thrones.
