It's been a long road for young Arya since the series began, and everything she's been through is enough to scar a person for life — and yet Arya keeps on going each day, even with a family taken away from her and a heart full of vengeance. The character is fierce, feminist, and funny and brought to life by the inimitable Maisie Williams, who's helped make Arya not just one of our favorite characters, but the one we root for the most. To celebrate Arya's Emmy nomination, let's look back at her fierce evolution.
