George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire saga has always been a rollercoaster of shocking character deaths, leaving fans gripping their seats since day one. As we await The Winds of Winter, the sixth book in this epic saga, speculation about who will make it through the pages unscathed is hotter than a dragon’s breath. While the fates of many remain as murky as the waters of Blackwater Bay, a few characters seem to have a safety net, thanks to Martin’s original vision.

In 1993, Martin teased that five central characters would survive the chaos, growing from kids into world-changers. Fast forward to today, and that promise still echoes—albeit with a few wicked twists. So, let’s dive into the speculation and see who might dodge the Grim Reaper’s scythe in The Winds of Winter!

Tyrion Lannister

Tyrion Lannister was Martin’s favorite, making it less surprising that he was poised for survival. The author once called Tyrion the “easiest to write,” indicating a deep connection with the character. As Tyrion tiptoes through the minefield between Daenerys Targaryen and King’s Landing, he’s still the MVP of this chaotic saga. With his darker vibe in the books and that road trip to meet Dany in Meereen, fans are buzzing about his crucial role in the epic showdowns ahead. And if Martin’s outline is anything to go by, we might see Tyrion snagging his old gig as Hand of the King again, especially with those last two novels looming on the horizon.

Daenerys Targaryen

Daenerys’ fate appeared secure as well. After biting the dust in Game of Thrones, fans were all over the speculation about how Daenerys might shake things up in The Winds of Winter. Picture this: Dany struts back into Meereen, ready to stir the pot before heading to Westeros, where political drama is about to hit critical mass. With Aegon Targaryen—yeah, Rhaegar’s kid—on the scene and eyeing the Iron Throne, Dany’s in for a wild ride.

Arya Stark

Meanwhile, Arya Stark’s survival seemed almost a given. Her narrative in The Winds of Winter was set to echo Game of Thrones season 6 elements, with her adventures in Braavos taking center stage. Although she faced off against familiar foes, like Raff the Sweetling, her struggles with identity and vengeance would continue to define her character. The absence of Lady Stoneheart from the show hinted at a unique twist in her story, steering her away from vengeance and towards reclaiming her Stark identity.

Bran Stark

Bran Stark’s journey also held the potential for survival. As the first POV character in A Game of Thrones, his significance couldn’t be overstated. Although Game of Thrones surprised fans with his ascension to the throne, Martin’s narrative may further explore Bran’s transformation into the Three-Eyed Raven. With Bran’s training and backstory, his fate might intertwine with Arthurian legends, possibly leading him to a fulfilling conclusion that aligns with Martin’s vision.

Jon Snow

Last but certainly not least, Jon Snow’s fate loomed large. The central character was presumed destined to survive despite the necessity of his resurrection following his shocking death at the end of A Dance with Dragons. As the secret child of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark, Jon’s significance in the struggle against the Others was undeniable. His journey could mirror some elements from Game of Thrones, but the depth of his character and the ramifications of his resurrection promised to bring forth a darker, more complex Jon in The Winds of Winter.
