Let’s ignore the fact that with one exception (Tyrion’s offhand comment in ADWD) every and all mentions of valar dohaeris are in Arya’s arc and how valar dohaeris functions as arc words for Arya and are an integral part of her narrative for now and just focus on all the other reasons that this makes no sense.
For starters, while there are many different ideas of what “serving” can mean, the definition does not include most of them- the way valar dohaeris is used when people apply it to Sansa.
Yes, the word serve can apply to people who “serve” other people’s interests. No, that has nothing to do with valar dohaeris. Valar dohaerisdeals with physical labour, menial tasks, servanttasks. It does not refer to serving someone’s interests in the way that people apply valar dohaeris to Sansa. Valar dohaeris is about servitude, being a servant, the literal use of the word serve.
To change the meaning beyond being an actual servant is like applying valar morghulis to all different types of death. It fits someone because they emotionally die? The death of a dream maybe? The death of their childhood, innocence, ect.?
The words have many meanings, that doesn’t mean all of them apply to these phrases.
But more than all of that, it literally makes no sense. What people are saying when they apply this phrase to the Stark sisters is that one of them fits one half more and the other fits the opposite more.
That goes against everything these phrases stand for.
All men must serve. All men must die.
These are two concepts that fit inside everyone’s lives. Everyone has both, people don’t just fit one. It’s not this divide- part of the world is valar dohaeris, part of the world is valar morghulis. All people are both.
And then there’s the fact that when it comes right down to it, you’d be hard pressed (and completely absurd) to argue that Arya fits valar morghulis more than valar dohaeris, especially when compared to Sansa.
Arya has scrubbed floors until her hands bled, she has stripped corpses, she has cooked meals and cut vegetables, poured wine, sold food, carried seafood around to offer them to others, ran around carrying messages to other people. She literally serves. She literally is a servant at multiple points.
“You need to shake out the sand. There’s still spots of rust. See?” She pointed. “You’d best do it again.”

Prologue
Minisa Stark is the twin sister to Robb Stark, King of the North and Riverlands and Lord of Winterfell. She now has claimed these titles. Minisa did all she could to in her life.
She had killed, fought and survive at what price.
She came back to her homeland to be Queen of the North. She had help from her half older brother, Jon Snow and her full blood sister Sansa Stark.
Minisa had a conversation with the Dragon Queen and Minisa still refused to give up the North and bend the knee. That made Daenerys Targaryen mad but admired her strength.
Theon Greyjoy came back to help them. She has not seen him since the War happened. Theon told her that he loves her and will never stop loving her. Minisa cried happily as she kissed him. She cares not if he can't give her children.
All she wanted to be that love that she has been denied.
Jaime Lannister came here in Winterfell to help them; she is tempted to send him away or kills him on the spot. However, she is better than that.
In the beginning, she was forced to marry Jaime Lannister who never give her honor, duty or even small affection.
She blames him! They lost their son because of his bitch sister.
She refused to be chained by Lannister's.
Jaime tried to talk to her, but the coldness was all he receives from his wife.
Minisa will not let him enter her chambers.
He tried to talk to her, but she will not listen.
Despite all the years, they had been married not once did he ever say those three words, yet, he told her that he loves her. She refused to believe that since he allowed his stupidly to kill her family and their son. Worse, she insults him with harsh blows that he conspired for their dead son!
Jaime refused to let her go, but she coldly told him that she wants their marriage annulled after their war and Long Night is over.
That crushed Jaime Lannister.
He had hoped that they could be happy, but he was a fool. She used to be cheerful, dutiful and a bit naïve that turned into this cold, heartless woman who has no love for him or any Lannister. They could have been happy, but she is not that stupid girl anymore. She did dream of being loved by her husband, but Jaime did worse things to her.
Sleeping with his sister.
Siring his bastard children and pretend that he is the golden son.
Losing her son was the final straw.
She put wildfire in her chambers and taken her son's body away from the Lion's Den. She buried her son; name Jon into her family's crypts. How could he dare ask her to forgive him?!
Life killed that dream.
She is fighting for her homeland.
Her families are fighting against the White Walkers.
'This is finally the end,' Minisa whispers to herself. Her brother's deceased dire wolf, Grey Wind whom she saved from the Red Wedding. Grey Wind whines as he looked at her. Her Direwolf died protecting her from assassins at Casterly Rock. Her beloved Frost was killed to protect her.
Now it's time.
Minisa went down and prepared to fight. Bran is the target for the Night King. She will be helping him in the shadows.
'Grey Wind,' She whispers and kneeled, 'Protect Bran for me.' Grey Wind looked at her with golden eyes and gave his lick on her cheek.
She holds her dagger. Valyrian steel a gift from the faceless man who had told her she will receive the gift, but not by him.
She hides where the heart tree is.
Theon Greyjoy is there and Bran is sitting there waiting. She walked to them with Grey Wind.
Minisa sighs and calms her heart beating against her chest.
'Theon,' She heard the Night King is coming. Theon heard his name and look where she is staring at. The air became cold like death itself.
The Night King is here!
Grey Wind is growling at him as he stood protectively in front of Bran.
Minisa calmly breathes in and out slowly. She must hurry and be prepared.
'Theon,' Bran called to him. Theon looked at Bran as he calmly said, 'You're a good man. And thank you for loving Minisa.'
Theon sniff as he wants to cry. Theon looked at her and Minisa at him.
If they could go back, they would have been happy. Yet fate and the Gods had done them the injustice of taking that possibility away.
Theon fights off the wrights, but the Night King killed him. Minisa stood defiantly before the Night king.
'I'm letting anyone dying here.' She argues the Night King. 'I'm not letting you live!'
Grey Wind growled but follows her command to stay and guard Bran. Quick as the viper, she whisked into her bow and arrow.
The arrowhead is made of dragon glass. She aimed the Night King with two arrows, she was about to get her third when he grabbed her by the neck. He was choking slowly life out of her. She saw Arya behind him and stabbed into his back. The Night King widens he is surprised as he let go of Minisa however; a wolf strikes down her prey with one bite.
Minisa finished the job! She will take down the Night King with her. She grabs her knife and stabbed him into his own heart!
He let out a godforsaken howl in agony and pain!
The Night king turns into snowflakes and vanished. She collapses onto the ground hard.
She grunted in pain as she felt her chest in pain.
'Oh, Gods…!' She grunted. When she pressed her hand onto her chest its already too late. The Night King spread his curse on her. She fears that when she dies. She will rise as the Night Queen.
'Theon..' She crawled and cries silently towards him. Theon's body laid there as she reaches for him.
She huffs her breath and turned his body over to see his face. He looked so different.
'I had wanted…' She sniffs, 'All I had ever wanted is you.' She kissed gently onto his lips and cries.
'Mini,' She turned and heard her brother Jon Snow voice. Jon gasped of the shocking discovering. Jon saw her chest becoming a frozen heart. The Night King places a curse on her.
'Jon…Please.' She begs as he kneeled and holds her into his arms. 'Fight for the North. Hurry and end this war.'
Jon nodded.
'Please, kill me.' She whispers in his ear.
'I love you, Mini.'
Her eyes widen as she felt pain into her back. Jon did her a favor.
He stabbed behind her back with a Valyrian steel dagger.
Minisa gasped and grunted at the feeling of its steel.
'I love..you.' Her body slumped as her life has ended along with Night King's curse upon her heart.
Jon gasped and let out his anguish cry. He cries as he held his deceased sister's body. He wept for his beloved sister and hugged her body tightly. Brandon Stark stood there, and his eyes became watery gaze. Grey Wind howled in sorrow.
The Queen is dead.
Long Live the Queen Minisa Stark.
Bright light shines over the screen.
Her blue eyes open up and saw the ceiling.
She blinks in confusion and felt her head is heavy.
Yuck! She felt disgusting that her skin is sweating and gross to her. Her head is fuzzy and dizzy.
'Oh, Lady Minisa,' a kind old man's voice is heard. She scrunched her eyebrows in confusion.
A kind face has shown before her.
Measter Luwin! She thought as if she has gone mad!
'Oh Minisa,' Her mother held her into her arms. Her mother looked like she is exhausted, but she is alive!
She cried as tears and held her mother tightly. She missed her and Catelyn's death made her life harder without her!
'Oh hush little one, I'm here.' Catelyn's motherly tone gave her some comfort.
Catelyn pries her off gently and tucked her more blankets.
'How is her fever, Measter Luwin?'
'Wait, I had a fever?' Minisa thought to herself.
'Her fever is going down, but I suggest that we keep up our routine. Except perhaps add some cooked meat with her soup and bread since her stomach doesn't upset her anymore.' Measter Luwin suggested it.
This looks familiar. Hold it!
Minisa remembers now!
~Minisa past life~
*COUGH, COUGH! Minisa coughed harder than before! She is scared! She wants to get better!
She heaved and gasp hard for air. Why did the gods won't heal her?
Her mother's gentle hand places a tea pit to inhale the steam from the sprout. Her mother urges her softly, 'You are a Stark as well as Tully. You will be better.'
'My Lady, I am sad to inform you that she has the condition called, Asthma.'
'Asthma?' Her Father questioned.
'In Citadel, the book had written this condition from his patients. Asthma is a condition in which a person's airways become inflamed, narrow and swell, and produce extra mucus, which makes it difficult to breathe.' Measter Luwin answered them.
'So, what do you suggest?' Catelyn continues to tending her daughter. Minisa is being wrapped warmly by extra fur blankets.
'For now, she must be careful of cold air and most cases involved stress. Or else, she will suffer a severe attack from her asthma.' Measter Luwin added more herbs to mix into another teapot for her to inhale.
Minisa snapped back her memory. Of course, she was 9 at that time.
She suffered asthma multiple times when she was younger. As she was grown up as a woman it got worse when she married that bastard, Jaime Lannister!
Minisa snarled in hatred of him. His very existence had made her life a living hell!
She was bed-ridden at the worst time. She forced to be bed rest for months when she was pregnant with her baby boy.
Wait! She is 9 again!?
She looked at her hands and saw that it is small.
Bu Gods, could it be that she can start all over?
Minisa silently cries in relief that she can save her family this time. Before she can say anything, warm arms wrapped around her body.
Minisa looked up and saw her mother wept in tears.
'Mama?'
'Don't you worry, my daughter. We will get through this.' Catelyn whimpers as she held her tightly.
Valar Dohaeris Meaning In English Translation
'That's right, mother had always tried to protect me. I used to get annoyed by it, but now I don't mind being smoother by it. Perhaps that was why I was naïve and shielded too much from the world. When father announced my engagement to Jaime Lannister, my mother was furious and wanted me her first-born daughter to remain here at home.' Minisa thought as she leaned into her mother's warmth.
'Don't worry mother. This time I need to prepare myself. And protect my family from the lions. Father is right, Winter is coming.'
