Bran gave The Catspaw Dagger to Arya, which was later used to kill the Night King during the Battle of Winterfell. Arya stabs the Night King during season 8 in which was an epic kill. After the Night King stopped her, Arya switched hands in mid-air with the dagger and stabbed him.

Some Extra Trivia About Arya

Here are a few extra things that we thought were interesting but couldn’t find any room for on our Arya Stark quiz. This includes some tidbits about the casting of Maisie Williams and more.

The Casting Of Arya

More on how the role of Arya was cast and the audition process:

• According to an interview, Maisie was selected out of over 300 female actresses who auditioned for the role of Arya. Maisie almost didn’t attend the audition because it interfered with a school trip to the pig farm. Her mother convinced her to go to the audition and she ended up landing the part.
• This was Maise Williams’ first-ever role as an actress.
• Game Of Thrones was not Maisie’s first audition. During an interview, she revealed that she made it to the final two for a role in the movie, Nanny McPhee 2. She didn’t get cast but used the experience to help her with her audition for Arya.
• Maisie also revealed that she had to audition three different times before getting the role of Arya. The first was a quick audition in London. The second was a longer audition, where she worked with multiple girls who were auditioning for the role of Sansa Stark (including Sophie Turner). The third audition was a screen test with David Benioff and Nina Gold (casting director).
• George R.R. Martin revealed in an interview that the casting of the Arya character was very difficult. Luckily they were able to find Maisie, who fit the role perfectly.
• Maise was 12 years old when they filmed the show. In the first book, Arya was around 9 years old when the story began.
• Maisie revealed in an interview that her motivation to audition for the role was in order to buy herself a new laptop.

Some Random Facts About The Arya Character & Maise Williams

Facts about both Maisie Williams and Arya:

• Maisie Williams revealed that George R.R Martin’s wife said (during the series) that if he killed off Arya, she would leave him. It looks like Arya is (probably) safe in the upcoming books.
• In Martin’s original outline for the book series, he was planning to feature a romance between Arya and Jon Snow. These plans ended up getting scrapped by Martin and he went in another direction.
• Arya is left-handed and Maisie Williams is naturally right-handed. As a result, Maisie trained herself early on by doing everything with her left hand for the character.
• Maisie Williams and Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark) both got “07.08.09” tattooed on them. This is the date that they both found out that they got their roles as Arya and Sansa.
• Maisie also served as one of the Maid Of Honors in Sophie Turner’s wedding to Joe Jonas. That shows you how close they became while filming the series.
• Arya is tied with Sansa for the 5th most episodes appeared in during the series. Arya and Sansa both appeared in 59 of a possible 73 episodes. They are behind Jon Snow, Cersei Lannister, and Daenerys Targaryen, who appeared in 62 episodes each. They are also behind Tyrion Lannister, who appeared in 67 episodes.
• Maisie Williams has revealed during interviews that she had to wear contact lenses for the scenes where she is blind. Maisie says that they were very painful to wear.
• During interviews, Maisie has revealed that the number one thing that fans ask her to do is recite Arya’s kill list. They want her to do the full list but also include the person’s name in it.

Critical Response

Did Maisie win any awards?

• Maisie Williams was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award in 2016 for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series. She was also nominated for the same Award in 2019. Maisie did not end up winning an Emmy for her performance.
