Unlike her older sister and King Joffrey's fiance, Sansa, Arya enjoys learning how to fight and wants to learn archery and swordplay like her brothers. Arya manages to escape when her father Ned is arrested for treason, and a recruiter for the Night's Watch, the border force which guards the Wall that separates the north country from the fearsome regions beyond, disguises her as a boy to protect her.
