Checking in at number 1 i Arya Stark played by the wonderfully talented Maisie Williams. One of the fun things about Game of Thrones is watching how talented the child actors are on the show. Somehow Arya's character flies above the rest and has made her own distinctive mark on the show. Not content to let other people run her life and not content to conform to being the "lady" that she is supposed to be Arya has the courage of a lion and her bravery combined with her naivety makes her such a likable and unique character. There is great fun and sorrow in watching her become initiated into the terrible world of Westeros. She has been probably the only person to impress Tywin Lannister and her friendship with the Faceless Assassin was probably my favorite storyline in the entire series. No matter what story arc she is involved in ti remains interesting precisely because she is such a fascinating and non stereotypical character. She gets my vote for number 1 female television character currently on television.
I have been waiting for #1 and what a pick with Arya Stark. Last week a tear came to my eye as a tear came to hers as she asked if her father Ned Stark could be brought back.
