Perhaps the only high-class lady he liked, she helped him navigate society after a series of successes found him quite well-to-do. But financial misfortune has fallen on the Stark family, and Arya, along with her mother and siblings, faces destitution. Desperate to help his friend, he proposes marriage between them, but with contrasting personal and societal expectations, they might yet struggle to reach a happy union.
