Welcome to Gaia! ::

I haven't read the the books.

Sansa really has it bad, I think, but she isn't dead so there's something to be said. I like her character for the most part, she manages to keep herself visually composed and presentable to others around her. Even though she tends to express her dislike for Tyrion, he clearly understands. I think she's going to grow to be the strongest of the Starks in her own way.

Totally despised Sansa in the first novel cat_rofl but grew to really really enjoy reading her POVs later on. //I had to keep reminding myself she was only 11 and silly and 0% wise back then... even if normal 11 year olds don't betray their family to a woman whom she KNOWS is a bad bad person already + initiated the death of her dear little direwolf pup emotion_facepalm

seriously, Alayne Stone is probably one of the better and more interesting chapters to read now... it's so amazing to see how brave and intelligent/wise she has grown into cat_crying

Also, I find it unreasonable to even compare her "skill at playing the game" to the rest of her dead family because she is definitely not a player of the game at all right now... She's a pawn cat_rolleyes
Unless of course you want the talk about the "moves" she made in AGOT...
*cough* - - -the "moves" she made in AGOT didn't even have a legit moral reason (unlike Robb's marriage after guilt/and the thought of bastards; Catelyn's choices with her children in the front of her mind; Ned believing that the honorable option is the only option) and yet STILL was a bad move (whereas the rest of her dead family did the bad move but had legit reasons/train-of-thought to). Just zero empathy with her in AGOT ahhh;; seriously if any reader seriously loved her from the start - ... I don't even cat_rofl

Anyway, perhaps LF will groom her into a super amazing player// or she'll keep observing good playing skills emotion_dowant that would be some serious character development cat_blaugh

Sometimes, I wish Gaia had a like button because there are far too many posts I want to agree with, but I'd rather not flood this forum with it.

A lot of people say Sansa is a weakling, but there is something about her suffering in silence that really makes her strong. It's easy to get angry, and throw a fit, but she stays composed. If we have learned anything from Margery, Cersei, or Denaries, do not trust a pretty face—she could be plotting all of their deaths. ;P She was only 13, and she had an unrealistic view of romance, which is totally fine, given the society GOT is based in. Being feminine and naive isn't being a weak character. I dislike how the shows her as tweeny though... :/

Both Arya and Sansa are predictable characters. Arya is going to become a assassin, whoopee. stare Tell me how many female role models aren't like that? (Kill Bill, Electra, etc). They are both playing out stereotypes: One tomboy who have an emotional disconnect, another being ideal beauty.

However, I am so stoked for Sansa's and the Hound's romance. That s**t better develop more <3 UHGUHGUHGUHGUHG! *Shipping*

I feel bad that she goes through so much s**t, but think it also gives her strength. Tht when she gets the chance she'll unleash her power.
