"Aphrodite," I pleaded to the moon drenched night sky "Tell me; if love is meant to heal, then why does it destroy those who choose it?" From somewhere beyond the clouds, I heard the Goddess laugh. And I knew.

Appreciation post: Sansa Stark

Sansa’s needlework was exquisite. Everyone said so.

We first see Sansa through Arya’s PoV. Arya is jealous of her sister, who has no difficulties performing the femininity that Arya finds constraining and unfulfilling (not helped by Septa Mordane loudly praising Sansa and disparaging Arya). Sansa through Arya’s PoV is…not the most immediately appealing of characters.

Sansa through Sansa’s PoV is also not the most appealing of characters, at least initially. There are definitely debates about how well GRRM handed his first truly unreliable narrator. In any case, an analysis of Sansa that does not account for how she grows up over the course of the novels is incomplete to the point of uselessness. She doesn’t start out so immediately sympathetic, hell, she doesn’t start out immediately and consistently kind, but as her situation becomes worse, Sansa herself becomes better.

Edit Request Meme: Favorite Pre-series Character (requested by anon) ↳ Visenya, eldest of the three siblings, was as much a warrior as Aegon himself, as comfortable in ringmail as in silk. She carried the Valyrian longsword Dark Sister, and was skilled in its use, having trained beside her brother since childhood. Though possessed of the silver-gold hair and purple eyes of Valyria, hers was a harsh, austere beauty. Even those who loved her best found Visenya stern, serious, unforgiving, and some said that she played with poisons and dabbled in dark sorceries.– TWOIAF
