"Winds of Winter" is still in the works, but author George R.R. Martin didn't mind sharing some of the stories he has written already. To the delight of many fans, each chapter reveal has made them more patient in waiting for the release of the new book, which by the way, still doesn't have a release date.
This time, it's the story of Arya Stark and fans have made their own predictions about it too. But first, let's get to the main story arc first.
According to IBT, Arya is an apprentice to Izembaro in "A Dance with Dragons" and she just started training under his wing. Arya wants to be a master assassin and she has no problems with killing people, which has been shown several times in "Game of Thrones."
But while Arya is in Braavos busy with training, someone is pretending to be her. Sansa Stark's best friend is Jeyne Pool is Arya's impostor and even went as far as marrying Ramsay Bolton. The problem is, Arya doesn't know she has an impostor. Will she ever?
Fans of "A Song of Ice and Fire" think that the two might actually meet. This happens when Jeyne will go to Braavos with Massey. By that time, Arya is already a master assassin and if she's smart enough, she will take the opportunity to leave Braavos and return home, using her impostor's identity (which is really hers by the way).
Further, it would be very interesting to see if this speculation holds true. Ramsay will meet the real Arya and for sure, Arya won't be ordered around. Could Ramsay finally meet his demise in the hands of a top assassin?
In addition to Arya's story, it was mentioned that Arya has been using different names and changing her appearance, much like a real assassin would. She is now ruthless and merciless when she makes her kill. In the said chapter, she uses the name Mercy and is part of a performance troupe, which could be her other way of returning home.
