I like them as well, but it can definitely be done badly. Certainly I've seen failed experiments in badfic often enough.
Arya is like the polar opposite of Katniss. She's a little ball of trauma who, despite how desperate the situations she keeps getting into are and the fact she's learned over and over again she can't afford to think of anyone but herself if she wants to live, can't stop herself from trying to help friends and work in a group. She's being trained to be a sociopath, but she's still got her wolf.
