@drpepperhateblog Just following up on your post about the Stark direwolves, just something else to consider:

Direwolf: NYMERIA

Arya’s is named after a ruling Queen who sent 6 petty Kings to the Wall and was a cunning commander and fought several rebellions. She ruled a Kingdom for 27 years and married several times, including a Sword of the Morning from House Dayne.

Direwolf: LADY

Sansa’s is named after her strongest character trait: Being a lady.

Ned speaks to both girls about their futures:

He tells Arya she will marry a King (making her a Queen like her direwolf)

He tells Sansa she will marry a High Lord (Making her a Lady like her direwolf)

George confirmed AGoT has the most foreshadowing of any in the series.

Also, it might be worth noting that Nymeria has taken on the Alpha role uniting smaller isolated wolf packs into one major pack numbering in the hundreds behind her rule. There has never been a pack that big ever in the Riverlands.  

She refuses to mate with any males, killing any that try and mount her. The only wolf she ever showed submissiveness to was Ghost, who by that time was larger than all their litter mates. 

She is hunting Freys and Lannisters, possibly influenced by Arya’s own distain for those Houses.

Besides the strong connection Arya/Nym have through their wolf dreams across continents, seems Arya might have warged Nymeria and made her howl without knowing it when she escaped Harrenhal.

When Arya is at Harrenhal, she prays in the Godswood for help asking the Old Gods to make her a wolf. She then gathers Hotpie and Gendry and makes her escape, she tells them both to wait for her and listen when she howls as her signal to come out. Guess what though? Arya doesn’t howl.

When he stopped moving, she picked up the coin. Outside the walls of Harrenhal, a wolf howled long and loud. She lifted the bar, set it aside, and pulled open the heavy oak door. - Arya, ACoK

Arya didn’t howl. Nym did, as she waited outside Harrenhal. Arya made her howl.

That night Arya has her first wolf dream, after spending the day running and being hunted by the Bloody Mummers for escaping Harrenhal. But Nymeria is following Arya from behind, killing the Mummers that were hunting Arya and giving her the time to escape.

Nymeria and her pack continue to follow Arya into the next book. Does Arya communicate with Nym?

Once, from the crest of a ridge, she spied dark shapes crossing a stream in the valley behind them, and for half a heartbeat she feared that Roose Bolton’s riders were on them, but when she looked again she realized they were only a pack of wolves. She cupped her hands around her mouth and howled down at them, “Ahooooooooo, ahooooooooo.” When the largest of the wolves lifted its head and howled back, the sound made Arya shiver. - Arya, ASOS

That same night when Arya went to sleep, she had her first wolf dream. 

Seems it’s very likely George’s plan for Nym and her pack might involve the aforementioned conflict between Ramsay and his wolf-killing Hounds. Especially, since George had Nymeria already fight wolf-killing Hounds in ASOS. Seems like it’s building up to something fierce. If we get any point of this encounter through Arya’s warg eyes/wolfdreams she could have first hand contact with Ghost/Shaggydogg/Jon/Rickon. Interesting what impact that will have on her going forward?

I read this articles today about the symbolism between the Stark children and their direwolves. An interesting read.

Game of Thrones TRICKED fans: Sansa's fate was sealed in THIS shocking Book One moment.

GAME OF THRONES cleverly tricked fans but Sansa's fate was set up in one shocking scene early in Book One of George RR Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire. No, we're not talking about Ned Stark.

Obviously, the death of her father set up so much of what was to happen to Ned. But that is true of all the Stark children – and the whole of Westeros. It is a different death which started Sansa on the path to eventually becoming Queen of the North. Martin cleverly, as always, used this earlier shocking moment as another misdirection, even though it contained all the clues for what was to happen. Many fans, Express Online included, actually thought it had been the main foreshadowing that Sansa would die before the end. Instead, it was the opposite. The Starks and their direwolves provided so many clues. 

Jon and his aptly named Ghost foreshadowed his actual death and then eventual exile as a de facto, well, ghost beyond the Wall. Rickon's Shaggydogg predicted his unfortunate role as a story which goes nowhere, a shaggy dog's tale. Robb's Grey Wind represented the Stark colour of honourable grey and dreams which faded on the wind, while Arya's Nymeria was a wild warrior queen, fierce and independent. Bran's Summer embodies the idea of a new beginning and the defeat of winter but Sansa's Lady represented her dreams of being a fine lady, which surely died along with the direwolf herself?

The direwolf Lady was killed after Nymeria attacked Joffrey on the road back to King's Landing. Arya sent her own wolf away and Cersei decreed Lady should pay in her place. Ned carried out the execution and afterwards the book tells us he thought: "What was it that Jon had said? When they found the pups in the snow? 'Your children were meant to have these pups, my lord.' And he had killed Sansa's, and for what?"

Ned also sent Lady back for burial at Winterfell, knowing Cersei wanted the pelt and says: "The Lannister woman shall never have this skin. The moment contains everything about Sansa's fate. She, too, must ultimately end up at Winterfell forever. She must see the end of her dreams of being a fine Lady like Cersei and the Southern nobles. That is not her fate. Lady was the only wolf who represented what a Stark wanted rather than what they truly were because Sansa was the only Stark who did not have a clear idea yet of who she was. 

In the end, Cersei ends up with less than that pelt – no children, no throne, no power and no life. Sansa, meanwhile, is forced to grow up, forget childish and selfish dreams of being a refined Lady – and instead become the woman she is supposed to be. She was never destined to be a Lady, she is the Queen of the North and its heart, enthroned over the grave of her wolf. The death of Sansa's direwolf, although she and the readers do not see it at the time, is necessary. It the symbolic death of her dreams and the beginning of her learning who she really is.
