Maisie Williams Assumed Arya Stark Was Queer Until The Last Season Of Game Of Thrones
Following its conclusion over two years ago, Game of Thrones has continued to be a highly discussed television series. Its final season became the subject of mass criticism from its fans, who expressed how unsatisfied they felt toward the developments of some characters, and the end result of others. In a recent interview, Maisie Williams discussed what surprised her most about Arya Stark's development in the final season.
