Maisie Williams - Arya Stark from Game Of Thrones

Williams' parents separated when she was four months old; the youngest of four siblings, Williams was raised by her mother and stepfather in a three-bedroom council house in the village of Clutton, Somerset.
From an early age, from when "she was tiny", Williams has always been known as "Maisie",[a] nicknamed because of her perceived likeness to the cartoon character from the UK newspaper comic strip The Perishers. Williams went to Clutton Primary School and Norton Hill School in Midsomer Norton, before transferring to Bath Dance College to study Performing Arts, with the ambition of becoming a professional dancer.
For a couple of years, she was taught at home. She left school at 14, before taking her final secondary school examinations (which she had been predicted to gain high grades in), partly due to personal difficulties she experienced going back to her regular school whilst starring in a popular television series and also because of the successful commencement of her acting career.
In 2011, she debuted in a professional acting role at age fourteen, starring as Arya Stark, a main-cast role in the HBO medieval fantasy epic drama series Game of Thrones (2011–2019), a portrayal that quickly brought the acting newcomer global attention. Williams received critical praise and accolades for her work on the show, including two nominations for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series.
In 2014, she starred in her first feature film, the melodramatic coming-of-age mystery drama The Falling, for which she received critical acclaim and awards recognition. In 2018, she made her stage debut in Lauren Gunderson's play I and You at the Hampstead Theatre in London, to positive critical reviews.
Williams' other television appearances include guest-starring in four episodes of the BBC science fiction series Doctor Who (2015), the British docudrama television film Cyberbully (2015), and the British science-fiction teen thriller film iBoy (2017). She had co-starring roles in films such as the romantic period-drama film Mary Shelley (2017), the animated prehistoric sports comedy film Early Man (2018), and the romantic comedy-drama film Then Came You (2018). Williams also voiced Cammie MacCloud in the American animated web series Gen: Lock (2019–present).
Williams is also an internet entrepreneur. In 2019, she jointly developed and co-launched the social media platform Daisie, a multi-media networking app designed to be an alternative means to help artists and creators (especially those who are trying to get started) in their careers.
One of the main purposes of the platform is to support collaboration between creators on artistic projects from across various creative industries, as well as a hosting service upon which creators can showcase their own and joint work.
At the age of 14, in 2011, Williams started her professional acting career by co-starring in one of the largest ensemble casts on television. She was cast in the role of Arya Stark, the feisty young tomboy daughter of an important noble family in HBO's historical fantasy drama series Game of Thrones (based on George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire epic fantasy novel series). Williams had almost missed the audition (her second ever), since it coincided with a school trip to a pig farm; her mother convinced her to go to the audition. As the series viewership rose, the international popularity of Game of Thrones gave Williams global recognition.
Described as a fan favorite and one of the central protagonists in the Game of Thrones fantasy epic, Arya has a story arc across the first six seasons that encompasses severance, trauma, tragedy, and revenge.
A young character who witnesses both the unfair execution of her father and the immediate aftermath of her mother and brother's murder. Regarded as an anti-heroine, Arya works her way through a revenge death list of names of those responsible for killing all the people she cared about.
After six seasons of surviving alone, she reunites with her family as a weapons expert and trained assassin. When the expected heroes and armies of the living appear defeated in the longest battle scene in film and television history, Arya Stark saves the entire fictional continent of Westeros by using her prowess as an assassin to kill the Night King (the "god of death") which causes the simultaneous eradication of his vast undead army.
