Twee toffe fan theories, vooral die eerste zou episch zijn en een hoop verklaren. De tweede is een beetje gekscherend maar wel geinig :
So here are a few things which are interesting about the Waif.
She is only seen by either Jaqen H'ghar or by Arya. She has a very incredible back story, much like Mercy or Cat of the Canals. She know's what Arya is doing, all the time. She knows when she lies. She can tell where she is. She tries to force Arya to leave. She makes her insecure.
So here's my theory, get some tinfoil..
The Waif is Arya. Arya is suffering from some sort of bi-polar dissociative identity disorder. A case can be made that when Arya came to the House of Black and White, the water that she drank induced this in her. In a way, The Waif is no one. Her only mission is to kill off Arya, the inner Arya, the one who can never be one of them.
This is why Jaqen H'ghar always wants the Waif to leave the room before he begins talking to Arya. He essentially wants Arya to stop behaving in a dual personality manner. He just wants to talk to Arya. So the Waif leaves. Just when Arya is alone, she appears again.
When the Waif asks Jaqen H'ghar, "You PROMISED!?", it's actually Arya. Arya has finally asked to kill her inner self. A lot of people have observed that Jaqen H'ghar looks a bit pleased with himself when he permits the Waif.
--------------------------------
It strikes me that Sandor Clegane has other things on his mind than representing the faith (which he didn't seem particularly enamoured with) against his brother FrankenGregor hype be unto him I expect to see Sandor go on a rampage against the Brotherhood, and in E10 come face to face with Brienne and Pod's mighty morning star. Rather, I would love to see the High Sparrow/Margaery put forward a different candidate as the faith's champion against the unMountain - a champion that it would be a real challenge for him to kill, a champion that would truly expose Cersei's weakness. I give you Tommen, Champion of the Faith. Tommen isn't brave, nor a fighter, but he's easy to manipulate - he wants to get inside Margaery's wifely duties and she could suggest that he must win her affections in combat. This would then leave Cersei with 2 options - kill her son by setting the Mountain against him, or ordering Gregor to die by his hand, thus condemning herself. If she goes with option 1, she would complete her descent into madness through grief, turn Jaime against her (closing that book arc for Jaime), and give her motive to burn the city down. Option 2, she condemns herself, giving her motive to burn the city down. Final thought; either way, this completes the prophecy from Maggy the frog as she dies by the little brother.
