Arya's sexuality was never specifically addressed until season 8, but fans generally assumed that the tomboy-ish character identified as queer. Williams debuted as Arya Stark in the very first episode of the HBO show when she was just 12 years old, and would go on to become one of the most popular stars of the mega-successful fantasy series over the next eight years. Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams has weighed in on her character's 'controversial' sex scene in the final season, revealing that she was surprised when she first read about it in the script - but probably not for the reason you might expect.
