| ~ Arya to herself |
| “ | Ah, Arya. You have a wildness in you, child. The 'wolf blood,' my father used to call it. Lyanna had a touch of it, and my brother Brandon more than a touch. It brought them both to an early grave. Lyanna might have carried a sword, if my lord father had allowed it. You remind me of her sometimes. You even look like her. | „ |

However, these are more than simple leather masks. The wearer drinks a tart-flavored potion and their face is cut, causing blood to stream over their features; when the new face is applied, it is moistened by the blood, becoming soft and supple. The magic causes the wearer to look exactly like the original person's appearance, including broken teeth or other injuries. However, they themselves cannot tell the difference, sensing only their own face and features.[20] When the face is first applied, the wearer may experience some of the memories of the dead person, and may dream those memories as nightmares.[20] It is said that this magical practice is even deeper and more complex than glamors[20]), Sound Manipulation (The Faceless can change their voices[16])
