Also let's not forget Lyanna Mormont, who basically reminds me of Jon Snow's wannabe daughter in terms of her petty attitude.

Lyanna Mormont is pretty overrated. Everyone's swooning over her "I'm the boss" character, and I'm like "meh"! Some quarters are complaining about how the show needs more strong, powerful female characters, despite the fact that they make up half the cast of this show.

Arya, though, is even more overrated. From day one, people have talked about what a "badass" she is, even though she was protected by the likes of Yoren, Gendry, Jaqen H'gar, the Brotherhood Without Banners and Sandor Clegane on her journey between King's Landing and Braavos. She's actually one of the least skilled fighers in the series, despite her training at the House of Black and White. She's only killed people who were injured, unalert or drunk, blinded by darkness, or in Walder Frey's case, decrepit old men. She's learnt to anticipate strikes against her person in the dark? Wow! This show has Brienne of Tarth, Yara Greyjoy, Ygritte and Meera Reed. All fighters. And Arya Stark, before her training at the House of Black and White, was a clueless little girl who was out of her depth in most things.
