How is Arya able to change faces?
The disguise is applied using the blood, drawn in tribute, running down Arya’s own cut face. George R.R. Martin describes the process of pulling one of the dried-out human masks onto Arya’s head: “The leather scraped across her brow, dry and stiff, but as her blood soaked into it, it softened and turned supple.
Why is Arya Stark No one?
Technically, when Arya quit the Faceless Men, she had death hovering all over her. Jaqen H’gar asked the Waif to kill her and the Waif failed to do so. Arya overcame a Faceless assassin and that made her ‘no one’.

The best alternative theory is that Arya has acquired the abilities of the best assassins.
