In a new interview, Game of Thrones‘ Maisie Williams discusses playing Arya in season 2, where her journey will take her and more. Mild spoilers.

Maisie tells Access Hollywood that in the second season, Arya’s journey is going to become very dangerous, and she’s only got her sword Needle to cling to. She says:

When we start off season 2, she’s not gonna be pushed around… She can now stand up for herself and people won’t sort of laugh at her because she’s a girl, because everyone think she’s a boy.

She also talks about working with Tom Wlaschiha, who plays Jaqen H’ghar:

He’s just got this voice, and, I don’t know – when he just spoke to me, it was, I don’t know what it was. But because English is not his first language, he had a lot of work with the dialect coach and he would always ask me, ‘Oh, how would you say this?’ just so he got the accent right… And, you know, we worked really well together and I got on really well with him and — I don’t know — it’s just his look and the way he speaks — it just captivates you like that, and it was great fun.
