In one of our most-appreciated article about Game of Throneswe explained why Jaqen told Arya in the House of Black and White that she finally became "no one". A lot of fans wondered why Jaqen suddenly looks pleased towards the young Stark and we think we know the reason. Keep reading if you want to know more!

Jaqen's weird behaviour.

In Game of Thrones 6x08 Arya goes back to the Faceless Men's temple with a face. She killed the Waif and pinned a face to the wall, and when Jaqen shows up she says: "You told her [the Waif] to kill me". Jaqen responds: "Yes, but here you are, and there she is [referred to the face on the wall]", adding that "finally, a girl is no one".

How Arya became no one after killing the Waif if she failed to accomplish the first and the second mission Jaqen assigned her? Not to mention that she states: "I'm Arya of Winterfell" in the final scene, proving that she's always been far from abandoning her identity...

The face on the wall is Lady Crane's.

A lot of these incongruities can be explained in a very simple way. If you look carefully to the face Arya pinned on the wall you will realize it doesn't look like the Waif's face. Whose face Arya bring into the temple? We're pretty sure it's Lady Crane's: the eyebrows of the face on the wall look very similar to Lady Crane's eyebrows (click on the picture above to accessthe photogallery).

When Jaqen tells Arya: "Here you are, and there she is", he's referring to Lady Crane's face, not to the Waif's face (that wouldn't make sense!), implying that Arya finally accomplished her mission:she pinned the actress' face to the wall as Jaqen requested.

This is the only theory that makes sense.

Since we saw Arya back in Westeros, healthy and with a brand new face, it's clear that Jaqen allowedher to leaveBraavos and that the young Stark, somehow, is now free to use the Faceless Men's disguise technique. We don't know how she obtained a new face, but we know that she must have passed Jaqen's test in the House of Black and White, otherwise he will never have granted her the permission to leave and use this kind of technique.

The only possible explanation is that Arya pinned Lady Crane's face on the wall, accomplishing the mission Jaqen assigned her in Braavos.
