Arya Stark from Episode 9 Season 3 of Game of Thrones

Arya is a spirited girl interested in fighting and exploration. Arya wants to learn how to fight with a sword and ride in tourneys. Arya is particularly close to her half brother who encourages her martial pursuits. He gives Arya her first sword, Needle, as a gift. Throughout her travels, Arya displays great resourcefulness, cunning, and an 

unflinching ability to accept hard necessity.

Arya appearance is a long face, grey eyes, and brown hair. She is skinny and athletic. At the start of the story, she is generally regarded as plain, as exemplified by her nickname "Arya Horseface", and often mistaken for a boy. 

She is left-handed, quick, and dexterous. She learned basic swordplay in the Braavosi Water Dancer tradition and later learned how to handle knives. She received a noble's education at Winterfell and is said to be good with mathematics and an excellent horse rider. She has a quick and curious mind and a pragmatic outlook.

In her nine years, she has quickly shown herself to be an independent and wild-spirited girl. Unlike her sister, she rejects the notion that she must become a lady and marry for influence and power, showing no interest in the womanly arts of dancing, singing, and sewing; instead she revels in fighting and exploring.
