That was until the two reunited in the previous season and worked together to finally put an end to Littlefinger, who had been manipulating the events around him to benefit himself the entire series. According to Arya actress Maisie Williams, her character and Sophie Turner’s will continue to team up in the final season:
“It’s not often you see a character siding with Sansa who’s not manipulating her,” Williams tells Entertainment Weekly. “Last season it was really tough for Sansa because Jon was thinking with his penis and it kind of made Sansa look bitter. This season you see Arya teaming with Sansa and sometimes calling out Jon. It felt nice and powerful to stand next to Sophie. Sophie and I are the tightest of friends when sitting across from anyone, so no acting required.”
She continued, reflecting on her journey throughout the show:
“After reading the scripts I went back and watched season one again because so much of it refers back to that season. There are so many scenes that will look similar. And also I watched just to remind myself of the arc I’ve taken already. I wanted Arya to go full circle and try for some kind of normalcy like when she was younger. Basically this year it’s like she has a dual personality — there are so many emotions and memories that come flooding back when you’re with your family and the things that you fight for become very different, yet she’s also remaining on this path to try and kill Cersei and remembering her list and getting closer to that. So there’s this split with Arya between trying to be who she wants to be — getting back to the naïveté and innocence with her family — and unfinished business.”
Are you ready for the final season of Game of Thrones, which comes out April 14th?
