Permissions

Threadhopping with this character – yes, no, or what?: A-okay! I love a good threadhop.

Backtagging?: Also absolutely fine.

Hugging this character?: Go right ahead! Not advisable for strangers, however.

Giving this character a kiss?: A kiss on the cheek or forehead, yes. Again, anyone short of a close friend/family beware... she might spit in your face.

Getting intimate with this character?: NOPE. :| She is eleven. Not happening.

Relationships?: Friendships are entirely welcome! Family-like relationships are also welcome! Anything beyond that won't be happening for a few years! ~~And possibly not even then, she sees no point in marriage or love!~~

Punching this character (provided they are given an opportunity to fight back): Yeees, it's okay, granted it's not a no-holds-barred punch. She can take a large amount of abuse, but that's just not cool.

Injuring/killing this character?: Injuries are bound to happen when she inevitably messes with the wrong person. Nothing serious, though, please. Killing is a no-no.

Is there anything YOU DO NOT WANT MENTIONED near this character?: Don't go telling her she's fictional, please, it might break her to know she's suffered so much for no reason. >>

Is there anything you need us to KNOW about interacting with this character? (Special physical features, fighting abilities, STUFF):

Physical features: Arya is a very small, very scrawny little thing. Currently, her hair is unevenly cut but mostly of a short length, boyish style. Her face is rather long - she's been nicknamed "Arya Horseface" before. She's not the most pretty, but she's growing into her looks and is actually rather pretty if she's cleaned up and her hair isn't sticking up everywhere... which is rare. But that said, it's normally very easy to mistake her for a boy, especially with her rough-and-tumble personality.

Fighting abilities: Arya is very graceful, having been trained - albeit not for too long - by the famous Braavosi water dancer, Syrio Forel. She can hold her own in a fight and can (and has) kill someone if she has to. She strikes fast, albeit not that hard (usually), and is an evasive little thing. She is still learning, though, and isn't any kind of master fighter/water dancer.

STUFF:
Nymeria: Nymeria is Arya's direwolf. The beast is roughly the size of a small pony, with thick grey fur and pale golden eyes. Nymeria has been wild for a few years ever since being turned loose in the riverlands as a pup. She commanded a massive pack of normal wolves known for terrorizing the entire area of the Trident and the God's Eye. This all sounds horrible and out of control until you realize that Nymeria is something of an extension of Arya. The wolf tends to act on Arya's instincts, which gets to be almost as out of control as Arya herself is, unless she's focusing to keep Nymeria in line. (Which she's learning fast is a thing that needs to happen.) Unless Arya is hopelessly furious or terrified, Nymeria will stay by her side as something like a gigantic lapdog, happy just to follow along and be near Arya. Their personalities are practically mirrors of one another, both wild, reckless, and impossible to completely tame.
Skinchanger: Arya has the ability to slip into the skins of animals she shares a close bond with. Mainly this is just her direwolf, Nymeria, but she also manages this with a cat in Braavos. Though she doesn't have any formal training with skinchanging, she still manages this even when awake, although she also does it when asleep - albeit unconsciously. She's not quite as good at it as, say, Bran, but she does have a good amount of natural ability and figures out quite a bit all on her own.
