I noticed this a while back now but I’ve never got around to actually writing it down. With all the theories that come up with ASOIAF I’m surprised I’ve never seen this come up as it fans tend to find clues in a lot more cryptic circumstances.
It comes in Arya’s first POV chapter in A Game Of Thrones when Jon and Arya are talking about Arya’s hate Of needlework as they watch the Lannister children spar with the other Stark children.
“The longer you hide, the sterner the penance. You’ll be sewing all through Winter. When the Spring thaw comes, they will find your body with a needle still locked tight between your frozen fingers.”
In regards to the hiding part, this is something I’ve only just realised now while checking the exact quote for this post. This could be a reference to Arya hiding by using other people’s appearances as a Faceless Man, with the reference to penance meaning her association with the Faceless Men will lead to her downfall.
I think the other hints at her demise are a lot more obvious. Jon talking about her being found dead in Winter with a needle in her hands obviously refers to her sword named needle, and being found in Winter is likely referring to the coming war with The Others.
If the show has accurately portrayed the events of The Winds Of Winter, I’d like to see Arya’s death happen in the defence of Winterfell during a great battle with The Others that we will hopefully see during Season 8.
