Evey time I read the words "Ghost" and "Nissa Nissa" in the same sentence I just die a little inside

But going by the description of the first sacrifice as the thing AA held most dear, that could only be Ghost or Arya imo. But why would Jon be an Other? I think there is a connection between them and the Starks, but I don't believe they can become Others. Those seem to be very different from the human race.
Not that it really matters, because the Nights Watch is Lightbringer and Nissa Nissa is giving up family and love. It is known

In terms of the vows,I think we have to go with what we have,as opposed to moulding things to fit our theories.

In terms of sacrifice,the original NN story as told by Sallador to Davos,relates that the hero killed she "who he loved best in all the world" in order to temper the blade.A true sacrifice.It's not like giving up chewing gum for Lent.

GRRM's comment that Arya's story will be bittersweet, worries me that Arya will be AA, Needle is Lightbringer and Jon is Nissa Nissa.
