Sansa is alive by dumb luck but the woman who acquired three dragons by magic means has gotten no help? She is the one who had three personal slaves and a whole khalasar to tend to her smallest needs, and who lived on the top of a pyramid in luxury. She hasn’t lift a finger in her life, and she most certainly does not know how to sew.
The Varys quote is about Aegon son of Elia, who will be her political rival, anon.
But, since I agree with anon that you write metas very well, perhaps you should write a meta about why Barbecue Barbie will not have a happy ending. 😈
Her first chapter in the first book literally starts with aunty being bathed and dressed by two slaves, and her followed chapters aren't that different.
Other female characters like Sansa and fave sis are also depicted being bathed and dressed by maids (not slaves).
The three of them were helped to survive by many people, true and false friends, or even captors.
But of these three characters, only Sansa can sew, and she's very efficient with the sewing needles.
Also, of these three characters, only Sansa is dutiful, the other two are either entitled or rebellious.
And of course, of these three characters, only Sansa is closer to that Varys description of the perfect ruler:
"He is here. Aegon has been shaped for rule since before he could walk. He has been trained in arms, as befits a knight to be, but that was not the end of his education. He reads and writes, he speaks several tongues, he has studied history and law and poetry. A septa has instructed him in the mysteries of the Faith since he was old enough to understand them. He has lived with fisherfolk, worked with his hands, swum in rivers and mended nets and learned to wash his own clothes at need. He can fish and cook and bind up a wound, he knows what it is like to be hungry, to be hunted, to be afraid. Tommen has been taught that kingship is his right. Aegon knows that kingship is his duty, that a king must put his people first, and live and rule for them."

And of all those that traits, GRRM thinks that duty is the key:
What's the best, the ideal ruler for Westeros would have what kind of traits?
Well I think one of the fundamental things is... in a good king is someone who regards being king as a duty rather than a privilege that they’re entitled to. A duty to the realm, to dispense justice, to have peace and occasionally to do, you know, boring things like building roads and sanitation in King's Landing and all that… Nobody really wants to do a spin-off show about "King Jaehaerys builds the roads", but I do think, if you actually lived in Westeros, you might like a king who’s more concerned with building roads than fighting wars... And Viserys, of course, who comes to the throne when the old King dies, that's sort of his goals too, I mean he wants, he doesn't want, well he does kind of at the end of his life, he wants a little glory, but he's not driven by glory, he wants to be a good king, a wise king, to protect his people, I think those are the most important traits.

Duty and boring things aren't aunty (who literally dies of tedium while holding court) or fave sister's forte.
I know that aunty and fave sis have or there is the appearance that they have some of those traits Varys listed but they aren't dutiful and duty is the key.
That post was full of contradictions between the passive aggressive trolling and the lack of reading comprehension.
Aunty and fave sis have enough stans to write odes to them, I won't waste my time writing about something that doesn't interest me. It's enough to compile GRRM words directly or indirectly about those characters, that usually fit with what I think about them.
