Who will LIVEcome throughout the entire Song?

WHO WILL LIVE THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE SONG?

(Typo in the title...which cannot be edited I guess..)

The obvious and most likely series survivors I would say are Bran Stark and Arya Stark, as they are Starks and know magic (greensight, warg, face-shifting), making them very special. And Tyrion Lannister, because the Imp isn't going to die, and will bring honor back to House Lannister. I COULD see Jon Snow or Dany dying actually, because it would make the story that much more epic.

But other than the obvious ones, I think the characters to survive the entire Song of Ice and Fire are..

1. Littlefinger and Varys (way too clever and manipulative to die)

2. Cersei Lannister (though I still see a very negative outcome for her)

3. Melisandre of Ashai (way too interesting and magical to die, and probably incredibly important)

4. Thoros of Myr

5. Rickon Stark (will come back with a vengeance)

6. Edmure Tully and The Blackfish

7. Stannis Baratheon (Unlikely..but would be really epic if he lived, win or lose).

I see no one surviving for certain.

The most likely is Jon. Because of what is supposed of him. And because the peace he will have brought must endure.

I suppose a few others, deserving and useful for holding the peace: Davos and Sam. Bran as a link with the Old Gods.

At least one other Stark children, Rickon, to be Lord of Winterfell, Arya most likely also. Sansa possibly. Same justification for Edmure and Roslin Tully.

I'm sure all who did real evil things will die. This includes Littlefinger, Varys, Cersei (predicted, as for her children), Stannis (kinslaying), Tyrion (kinslaying), both Boltons.

Mance should die because he broke his vows with the NW. But Tormund is needed to lead the Free Folk and should live.

I believe Jame and Brienne will live together or die together.

I believe Daenerys will die also, as fAegon. But not sure about that.
