Described as a fan favourite and one of the central protagonists in the "Game of Thrones" fantasy epic, Arya has a story arc across the first six seasons that encompasses severance, trauma, tragedy and revenge. Williams, who did the majority of her own stunts and fight scenes in the series, is naturally right-handed, but kept in character by performing left handed in the show. Williams appeared in all eight broadcast seasons of Game of Thrones, the final episode of which aired in May 2019.
