I am Ned Stark's Missing Head

Costar Maisie Williams discusses all that’s going on with Arya:

I think when she was with Tywin (Charles Dance) at Harrenhal, she had heard that Robb was going to attack. I don’t think she heard about [Bran and Rickon] yet. She’s only ever had little droplets here and there, so she’s kind of got to make up the middle bit. I think she’s just trying to get home and find out for herself what’s really happened. She’s kind of reluctant to believe anything because so many people are not loyal.

We know Arya hates The Hound, but how does he feel about her?
I think he kind of admires her a little bit for how determined she is. But he really is like, “Why are you making everything so hard for yourself? Why don’t you just stop fighting me and let me take you home?” I think that maybe she should keep her mouth shut more because she’s getting herself into more trouble when there’s lots of people trying to help her. I think she cares too much about little things for that to happen.

Arya has lost two friends. First, Hot Pie (Ben Hawkey) decided to stay and bake for an inn. Then Gendry wanted to stick with The Brotherhood before they gave him away. Does Arya feel abandoned?
I think so, yeah. Ever since Gendry found out about her being highborn, I think she thought they always looked up to her. Then she realizes that they’re not really very in awe of her at all. It’s like, “Oh, cool. Well, I would rather stay here and bake stuff,” or “I’d rather stay here and fix armor.” She really does feel abandoned. She felt safer with them as well, kind of a little family away from family. Now she’s really on her own. For so long, she convinced herself that she doesn’t really care. Now that it comes down to it, she’s kind of like, “Oh, it would have been nice to stay with these guys, and they’re choosing to leave me.” It’s a bit of rejection, I guess.
