Thank you so much! Glad you like. True...Arya doesn't tend to act very princess-y...

Well...a bit Princess Azula princess-y, I guess...with the violence and everything...

I get what you mean, though Arya's violence and (stereotypical) tomboyish-ness is kinda exaggerated in the show. In the books, she's more concerned with getting back to Jon Snow than finishing her list. In the books, the list is more of a coping mechanism for all the rape and violence she witnessed. The people on the list are rapists and murderers whom she knows are getting away with their crimes. Book!Arya doesn't laugh at her Aunt Lysa's death nor does she add Melisandre or the Brotherhood Without Banners to her list. Walder Frey doesn't get baked into a pie; in fact, its shown in AFFC that book!Arya abhors cannibalism.

As for Arya being unladylike in the books, she doesn't think or say things like "most girls are idiots". The problem Arya has with "feminine" stuff is that she isn't good at it. In AGOT, she wishes she were as talented and pretty as Sansa. Instead, all that she's better at is math and horseback riding and people call her Horseface. Granted, she does grow to be prettier later in the series, but all that bullying made her insecure to the point that she thinks Catelyn won't buy her back because she's less talented daughter.

Thanks so much...I'm so glad you like this! I might do the rest once I get the time; there are so many GoT princesses! I'd love to draw Arianne Martell and Shireen.

Wow, I forgot her...no slight on Sansa, who is awesome, but I forgot she technically qualifies as a "princess" (which is odd, since I remembered Arya does and she looks less like a tradtional "princess"). Brain fuzz I guess. I hadn't had a chance to do them all yet anyway, though...I might get around to doing the rest of the princesses, although the "violence scene" I'd want to draw in Sansa's background would be a huge spoiler for non books fans (from the end of book 3!).

Thanks, so glad you like it! I might get around to finishing Asha/Yara (darn HBO for changing her name!) eventually.

Hahaha, yes, I'll never forgive HBO for that.

Aw, thanks so much! I really appreciate it. Maybe I'll draw more. I remembered Arianne Martell from ADWD and I'd started Asha Greyjoy...but I totally forgot about Myrcella! Trying to remember who else I'm forgetting...Shireen Baratheon? Lots of facial scars to draw...

The families and claims to the throne are so complicated I feel like I'm forgetting a lot of them, honestly. Thanks again!

Thanks so mch! Really appreciate your nice comic, and so glad you like it! Heh, maybe I'll do more later...with so many warring families, though...that'd be a lot.
