Season 1 â She was a fucking child. When I was thirteen I used to complain, was naive, and was a bit spoiled too. She was confused and scared in a foreign land. She said, "I never want to speak to my father again" after the whole Lady thing, but when you were fucking 13, when your father pissed you off, didn't you say the exact same thing? After Ned got arrested she was easily manipulated because she was 13! While Arya was trying to survive, Sansa did all she could to save her father by putting her head on the line to grant him mercy. Yet Joffrey still killed him, don't forget Arya didn't see it, but Sansa did while screaming for them to stop as they restrained her and she fainted. Then Joffrey made her look at it and she gave a savage retort. If it were not for the Hound, she would have killed Joffrey that day.
Season 2 â what did she honestly do but was beaten and humiliated, emotionally and physically abused by Joffrey and Cersei. But she never let them break her. She would always ride up with the same womanly strength that she shares with her mother. She doesn't love Joffrey, but she will pretend so she could survive in a world where she is all alone. She is smarter than she looks, remember when she used her wits to save Dontos at Joffrey's Name Day Tourney? As Tyrion (arguably the smartest character) even comments, "lady Stark you may survive us yet"
Season 3 â she is finally free of the boy king! Yah! She finally has a friend, Magaery! Yah! She could marry the sweet and handsome Ser Loras! Yah! And then all these sweet dreams of escaping the capital and marry a good man (who even though he is gay, he would never abuse or mistreat her), are seemingly crushed by the same people who are trying to destroy her family and forced to marry the Imp. Sansa is smart to be worried and careful. Yet you can see they have a few good moments where he even manages to make her smile. Yet all hope is destroyed when the Red Wedding takes place. Now she has lost her father, mother, Robb, and she thinks she lost Bran and Rickon too. She thinks she is alone in this world.
Season 4 â she is believed to have helped kill a king. She is finally allowed to leave he capital to the safety of the Vale. Yet instead of the safety she expected, she was attacked by her aunt that is bad shit crazy and tried to push her through the moon door. When the lords of the Vale are ready to kill Peytr Baelish, she lies like a master mind to save his life. It finally shows that she has been learning from the other players like a master. She has learnt from Cersei, Tyrion, and Littlefinger. She is now a player in the game.
Season 5 â this is were D&D kinda fucked her up with the Ramsay bullshit. But still she knows who are her enemies and who are her friends. No matter how he beat or raped her, we see in the finale when she faces off with Myranda and Reek, she is stills strong and fierce. Her escape with Theon is just beautiful.
Season 6 â this is Sansa at her best. Don't forget it was SANSA FUCKING STARK who was the one who inspired Jon Snow to take back Winterfell. Without her, he would have never even gone to all the lords. She is smart enough to know she can trust Brienne and send her to the Tullys for support. Even Blackfish admits that she is just like Catelyn. Kind, honorable, dutiful Catelyn. She is smart enough to tell Lord Baelish to fuck off, but stay close enough in case she needs to use him. She told Jon not to do what Ramsay wanted, and though that sounds obvious, Jon didn't listen and played right into Ramsay's trap. Rickon died. Jon and his men were cornered and would have all died if not for Sansa. She was the one who brought the Knights of the Vale to save them. She was the reason they won the battle. And who finished off Ramsay like a badass. She was a supporter of Jon even though he took away her birthright as Queen in the North since they believed all her trueborn brother's were dead.
Season 7 â can we all agree Sansa didn't do anything bad? She was right about the Karstarks and Umbers. I agree she shouldn't have oppose Jon like that, but like she said "Joffrey never let anyone oppose him" and she wants to help Jon be a great king. He left her in charge because he trusts her more than anyone and knows she will make a great Lady of Wintefell. And he is completely right. She is amazing. While eveyone worries about ice zombies or the iron throne, Sansa is getting ready for a long winter. Making sure the armor has proper leather and there is enough food for everyone. She has become such a great player in the game now that at the end where she proves to Lord Baelish that she and Arya had been playing him, I got chills when she turned her head to him. And the ending scene with Arya and Sansa where we see them both acknowledge each other's strengths, we can see that even ARYA ADMITS THAT SANSA HAS BEEN THROUGH SOME SHIT THAT SHE ISN'T SURE THAT SHE WOULD HAVE SURVIVED. Once again, Tyrion and Jon share that moment where they acknowledge how smart she truly is, only that she was hiding it, but now she is showing it. A true Stark.
