Memory; "It's done, we've lost." Escaping the fight and freeing the three captives. (CoK 169-171)
What It Is; Clash of Kings, pg. 169-171
Arya (called 'boy'), is approached by Yoren and told that the battle against Sir Amory Lorch is lost. She's charged with saving as many people as she can, which includes Gendry and Hot Pie (who later runs back, away from escape). It also includes a little girl, who Arya pulls into the secret passageway that leads from the battle. But their journey through the fire is stopped as Arya realizes that three people are still stuck in the flames: Jaqen H'ghar, Biter, and Rorge. All in all, not nice people. Gendry tries to make her come with him, but she refuses, doubling back to give the captives something to free themselves before they die in the fire.
Arya escaped the fire by dropping into a trapdoor in the barn, a dozen feet below in the cool earth. The barn collapses on top of the hole, but Arya is safe. She then begins to cry in the middle of the tunnel, "For whom, she could not say."
What she Learned;
+ Arya...is a boy! Named Arry. Nowhere in this memory is it mentioned that she's a girl, or her real name.
+ But she knows that she's not really a boy, so she's....maybe both? She's confused.
+ She doesn't want to let anyone die (see: the little girl in the fire and the captives).
+ AXE SOMEONE IN THE NUTS, FEEL NO SHAME. She doesn't seem to care about hurting others, if they're trying to hurt her/her friends/they get in her way.
+ She's not nice enough to be stupid about her niceness; she lets Hot Pie run away and forces the little girl to come with them even though she doesn't want to.
+ Her world is filled with a lot of violence. :|
+ Arya has a tough stomach: she sees her friend cut down in front of her eyes, another one impaled through the leg, and blood gushing from a man's testicles. And she doesn't even flinch.
+ SHE HAS A SWORD and it's hers.
+ But she's not inhumane; she cries when bad things happen, which reveals a bit more of her youth than she cares to admit. Crying is a normal thing for her.
Effects;
• Arya will be introducing herself as Arry for the time being.
• Arya will also respond to both boy and girl, it doesn't really matter to her, this is silly.
• I MUST SAVE PEOPLE MAYBE as long as they aren't assholes
• If they are assholes it's alright to hurt them
+100 protective of people who can't take care of themselves sense
+50 hesitation around large fires
+over 9000 STUBBORNNESS POINTS
-----------
Skill; How to sell seafood on street corners.
What It Is; Basically what it says on the tin. Arya is a master of hawking oysters, clams, shrimp and fish on the sidewalk. She's loud and people listen to her, and she knows how to appeal to people's better natures when she tries to wheedle with them. So if you ever need someone to sell anything, Arya will be glad to call mussels, five coppers! fresh off the boat this morning!

"Smoke was everywhere. There was no sign of Yoren, but the axe was where Gendry had left it, by the woodpile outside the haven. As she wrenched it free, a mailed hand grabbed her arm. Spinning, Arya drove the head of the ace hard between his legs. She never saw his face, only the dark blood seeping between the links of his hauberk. Going back into that barn was the hardest thing she ever did. Smoke was pouring out the open door like a writhing black snake, and she could hear the screams of the poor animals inside, donkeys and horses and men. She chewed her lip, and darted through the doors, crouched low where the smoke wasn't quite so thick.
[ ... ]
And then a wheel was looming over her. The wagon jumped and moved a half foot when Biter threw himself against his chains again. Jaqen saw her, but it was too hard to breathe, let alone talk. She threw the axe into the wagon. Rorge caught it and lifted it over his head, rivers of sooty sweat pouring down his noseless face. Arya was running, coughing. She heard the steel crash through the old wood, and again, again. An instant later came a crack as loud as thunder, and the bottom of the wagon came ripping loose in an explosion of splinters."
