Though Arya and the Waif might not be the most loving couple on television, they're definitely a pair that will have your costumed crew talking all night, especially with a few witty accoutrements added to the standard Game of Thrones garb. So if yo're looking for a hilarious and unexpected costume this Halloween, these Arya and The Waif couples costumes will be perfect for you and your partner.
Not all couples costumes have to be romantic, overdone, or typical. And while other Game of Thrones couples may be a little bit more traditional and couple-y (i.e. Jon and Ygritte, Cersei and... OK, as it turns out, Jon and Ygritte are the only somewhat traditional and couple-y Game of Thrones couple I can think of), let me make a case for Arya and the Waif. In Season 6 Arya's storyline gets seriously crazy, and Waif is a huge part of it. The Waif tests Arya in some really messed up ways, making her practically run around the city blind and dying until the two come face to face. And according to Esquire, some fan theories think that Arya and the Waif might be the same person. And that's a couples costume that will really blow the minds of all of your Game of Thrones loving pals.

Arya & The Waif: Blind Attitude
Perhaps one of the most intense Arya moments in any season of Game of Thrones, is when Arya goes blind and stays blind.
To recreate Arya's blind look, dress yourself in a pair of brown leggings ($14), a boxy fit brown tunic ($39), and a piece of burlap ($14) to drape over your shoulders. Wear your hair greasy and grimy, and add a pair of creepy white eye contacts ($29) to make it look like you're blind, and voila, you've got blind Arya down to an art.
For the Waif, all you'll need is a trusty linen dress ($25), a tan belt ($4), your weapon of choice, like a stick you found in your back yard (free ninety-nine), and a dismal attitude. Just refer to everyone as "The Girl," and everyone will know to steer clear of you.
