For all this "a girl is no one" crap, the waif certainly has some feelings about Arya, she harbors a grudge, she loathes her. That's gotta be against the rules, right? The look in Jaqen's eye right after she says "you promised her to me" is telling, to me. He immediately says something to the effect of "it's a shame, a girl showed so much promise." I think he was talking about the waif.
There was also the moment when the waif and Arya were sitting face to face and she was smacking Arya because she kept saying she had 4 brothers (including Jon) - and then there was the moment where Arya said "What name would you like a girl to say?" to the waif.
I have no idea what's going on or if the Fight Club idea of Arya and the waif is even close to accurate, but it's interesting, and I'm wondering if Jaqan is the one that comes to help Arya if the waif was really the one being tested.
