Game of Thrones characters as College Football programs and figures
Arya Stark
Played by Maisie Williams, Arya Stark has undergone a lot of character development over her time on the show. In the beginning, she’s a young girl who doesn’t fit in to what society has basically mandated for her. She doesn’t want to wear the pretty dresses and become a lady; she wants to be a soldier like her father and her older brothers. The only dancing she wants to do is a type of sword fighting practice.
Arya is too little to do much about the betrayal of her family early on during the show, but the girl with no name develops into one of the top assassins in the Game of Thrones universe, capable of sneaking up on you and slipping poison into a barrel of wine that wipes out an entire house, while also being more than happy to take your head from your shoulders in one-on-one battle.
Arya is still smaller than most of her adversaries, but she packs quite the punch. She’s never been afraid to mix it up with the big boys. She can take on many different faces and beat you in a variety of ways.
Clearly, Arya is UCF.
The Knights have been the top program from the group of five for two consecutive seasons, finishing with perfect regular seasons two years in a row before finally falling to LSU in last year’s Fiesta Bowl in a game that star QB McKenzie Milton was out for after suffering a devastating leg injury near the end of the regular season.
Arya probably won’t sit at the Iron Throne at the end, and UCF is unlikely to ever actually win a national championship that they didn’t claim on their own, but they’re a spoiler that is more than capable of beating someone you wouldn’t expect.
