gendry and her friend hot pie
arya accompanies her father ned and her sister sansa to king's landing. before their departure, arya's half-brother jon snow gifts arya a sword which she dubs "needle". on the kingsroad, arya is sparring with a butcher's boy, mycah, when sansa's betrothed prince joffrey baratheon attacks mycah, prompting arya's direwolf nymeria to bite joffrey. arya shoos nymeria away so she is not killed, but is furious when sansa later refuses to support her version of events. mycah is later killed by joffrey's bodyguard sandor "the hound" clegane, earning him arya's hatred. ned arranges for arya to have sword lessons with the braavosi syrio forel, who later defends her from ser meryn trant after joffrey ascends to the throne and kills the stark household. arya flees the red keep, accidentally killing a stable boy in her escape, hiding out as a beggar in the streets of king's landing. ned is eventually taken to the great sept of baelor to face judgment; he spots arya in the crowd, and alerts the night's watch recruiter yoren to her presence. yoren prevents arya from witnessing ned's execution and has her pose as a boy as she joins yoren's recruits on the march north.
