Lord Tywin Would Soon March On Riverrun, She Heard. [...] He'd Bought A Ton Of Silver To Forge Magic

Lord Tywin would soon march on Riverrun, she heard. [...] He'd bought a ton of silver to forge magic swords that would slay the Stark wargs. (Arya II, ACOK)

“Warg,” said Jojen Reed.

Bran looked at him, his eyes wide. “What?”

“Warg. Shapechanger. Beastling. That is what they will call you, if they should ever hear of your wolf dreams.”

The names made him afraid again. “Who will call me?”

“Your own folk. In fear. Some will hate you if they know what you are. Some will even try to kill you.” (Bran V, ACOK)

-

"Aye. All that, and more. You are a warg too, they say, a skinchanger who walks at night as a wolf." King Stannis had a hard smile. "How much of it is true?" (Jon XI, ASOS)

-

Lord Janos was red-faced and quivering. "The beast," he gasped. "Look! The beast that tore the life from Halfhand. A warg walks among us, brothers. A WARG! This . . . this creature is not fit to lead us! This beastling is not fit to live!" (Jon XII, ASOS)

-

"Then you had best be on your way, boy." Slynt laughed, dribbling porridge down his chest. "Greyguard's a good place for the likes of you, I'm thinking. Well away from decent godly folk. The mark of the beast is on you, bastard."

[...]

"No," Lord Janos protested, flecks of porridge spraying from his lips. "No, unhand me. He's just a boy, a bastard. His father was a traitor. The mark of the beast is on him, that wolf of his… Let go of me!” (Jon II, ADWD)

-

“When Stark changed into a wolf, his northmen did the same. The mark of the beast was on them all. Wargs birth other wargs with a bite, it is well-known. It was all my brothers and I could do to put them down before they slew us all." (Davos III, ADWD)

-

She was the night wolf. (The Blind Girl, ADWD)

Just some extra werewolf-y lines about the Stark kids.

Bran giving Arya the Valyrian Steel dagger in season seven

I want Arya to have a wolf nickname too... Robb was the young wolf and Jon is the white wolf,,, what if Arya is the dark wolf 🐺👀

@janecobain  the dark wolf, i like that one, and it’s not far off from the name arya essentially dubs herself/nymeria with in adwd: the night wolf.

“Her morning prayer. Or was it? No, she thought, not mine. I am no one. That is the night wolf’s prayer. Someday she will find them, hunt them, smell their fear, taste their blood. Someday.”-ADWD, 45

“She was the night wolf, no scraps of skin could frighten her. Leather hoods, that’s all they are, they cannot hurt me. “Do it,” she blurted out.”-ADWD, 64

About Arya: I think the North is used to unladylike ladies like Mormonts, Lyanna herself, Meera, etc... I think they don't see her as odd.

I do firmly agree that Arya's somewhat wilder nature would have not been considered an unfamiliar madness in the North.

But she is still unusual.

Lyanna is only widely known to have been mad for horses. Not so very different from an accomplished rider like Margaery Tyrell. Lyanna must have had some kind of training with the jousting lance in order to be the Knight of the Laughing Tree, but not so much as for it to be a well known fact about her, and she is also not generally described as a tomboy. She would presumably have been more comfortable wearing dresses or washing her face or brushing her hair than Arya is. Those are the truly unusual things about Arya: the messiness and lack of care in her dress. Arya rejects almost all the feminine aspects of her social role, that is what has her standing out.

Even someone like Dacey Mormont is noted by Catelyn to be just as comfortable in a dress and dancing as she is fighting in chainmail.

I would caution against the idea that Northern women in general are somehow different from Southern ones. They have a bit more variety in some places that belong to the North, but as a rule, they would be very similar in their social roles. Meera as a crannogwoman and the Mormont ladies are still a noted exception to the "regular" Northern women, who are not known for taking up “masculine” activities like fighting (like Sybelle Glover or Donella Hornwood or Alys Karstark or Barbrey Ryswell or the Manderly girls or the former Lady Bolton).

Arya is the Night Wolf, the Wolf of the Night, the Wolf of the LONG Night, GRRM has said that the biggest Chekhov’s gun in ASOIAF is Arya’s wolf pack, Arya is the Night Wolf who will lead the wolves during the Long Night

hey grrm this is the bird that Sansa should get

it’s grey and white (the Stark colors) and it’s called a gyrfalcon, which is the largest falcon species
