## Where is Arya now?

After the shit happened in LS, Jon & Arya flew to Pennsylvania and Jon met Arya's father. They flew to Switzerland to visit Jon's family next. When they returned they decided to settle down in a small town outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She married Jon in a private ceremony right after returning from traveling abroad.

During the 4 years, they bought a small cottage nestled in the countryside. Close to a lake with a small beach where the couple would take Nemesis on walks and swims in the summer. Arya spent the first 6 months of their marriage renovating the cottage. Traveling to the city often to gather supplies. She became good friends with the furniture shop owner, who hooked her up with a custom dining room set. She was also close with the bakery owner, who helped her get an amazing oven for the cottage. Arya was thrilled to be able to bake again.

After the cottage was cozy and felt like home, Arya decided to hunt for a job. She wanted to continue studying the law. After leaving LS, she was still a new lawyer, still unsure of her abilities. She became a paralegal and eventual a partner with a small firm in the city. The firm handled mostly prosecution cases, so Arya became well-known in the local police force.

Her passion for defense work had been growing, and when she learned the firm would be prosecuting a young doctor who had been forced to fake an autopsy for a notorious criminal family, Arya had to recuse herself from the case. She sat in her office at home flipping through her photo album. Holding a picture of herself and her roomies. She couldn't ignore the reality of how many shades of gray there really were. The next day she quit the firm and accepted a position at a defense firm.

She was leaving work late one Friday night and was struck by a drunk driver. She had massive brain damage and was in a coma for 2 months. When she woke up, she didn't remember Jon or most of her time in Los Santos. The doctors said she could regain her memories, but there were no guarantees. Her recovery was extensive and Jon stayed by her side. Arya was confused why she would get married again after her failed marriage, but she tried to make it work.

After several months, Arya was fully recovered yet her memories were not returning. One memory she did have was that of the Sanguine War where she served as a combat medic. She craved being thrown in the action and wanted to be involved in combat medicine. She decided she wanted to enlist and become an army medic.

She sat down with Jon and they decided to separate after 4 years of marriage due to her memories were not coming back. She was also feeling called to a new career far away that would make her happy. She packed her bags and moved out promising to stay in touch.

She now serves as a combat medic with the US Army. Nemesis is a trained search and rescue K-9 with Arya as his handler. She was deployed on a special mission in Ecuador in November 2023 and her family has not heard from her since.

Is Arya's story over? Uncertain.
