PLAYER: Cerie
CHARACTER: Queen Sansa Stark
CANON: Game of Thrones
CANON POINT: 8x06 The Iron Throne
CANON PUNCTURING: No
FOURTHWALLING: No
GREATEST FEAR: losing her sanity and sense of self
ABOUT: history
PERSONALITY:
Sansa Stark is a woman who has been tempered by fire and has let that which burns her simply make her stronger. Born the eldest daughter of a noble family, Sansa has gone from treasured lady to political pawn and has learned, over time, to shift from being played to being a player in the never-ceasing game of thrones. Originally naive and concerned only with the fanciful notions of love and chivalry, Sansa’s eyes have been opened to the cutthroat world of politics and all it entails.
Sansa knows how to sing a pretty song - both figuratively and literally. She knows how to say one thing and mean another entirely and she knows, all too well, how to suppress her own wants and desires in order to achieve a higher purpose. None of these lessons have come easily. Sansa’s tutelage has been the cruellest trial by fire she can imagine and has been paved with angst, betrayal and pain. She knows that wars aren’t always won with swords and that sometimes words and gold do a lot more to change a man’s mind than notions of honor. Sansa has learned to operate in shades of grey, infinitesimal layers between black and white, and that right and wrong seem to be dictated by who is wearing the crown and writing the history and not the gods themselves. It's Sansa's ability to adapt and withstand trials that have helped her survive being a captive first by the Lannisters in King's Landing and later by the Boltons in her own ancestral seat, Winterfell. She has risen above each adversity with determination and wit and proves herself more than capable of being Queen in the North.
Sansa still holds close to her heart that family and honor are the important things in life and that there are some, albeit few, people who hold those same ideals close to the chest. She isn’t completely jaded and hasn’t been turned entirely from the little girl she used to be, she’s simply learned how to suppress it and keep it close to herself while showing the world another face. Sansa has learned that courtesy is, in fact, a lady’s armor and she has armed herself to the teeth with it. She knows exactly how to phrase something that seems innocuous but can cut to the quick depending on the delivery and the intended audience. While she has no desire to sit the Iron Throne, she has an all-consuming desire to be free of it and see Winterfell held by House Stark once again so that she can be free to be the girl she’d been before treason took her family away; she fights as fiercely for this with her words as her sister Arya fights with her sword. There is a sweetness beneath her steel that will never go away, a softness that Sansa is careful to keep hidden away from those who might want to exploit it. She knows how to play it false, to manipulate it to get what she wants or to seem less than she is but her true self is buried impossibly deep, locked away so that no one can touch it. This, if known or discovered by a potential enemy, would be her undoing.
Because she has spent the last six or seven years of her life quite literally in a den of lions, Sansa has learned how to say the words that keep her head upon her shoulders while harboring other feelings deep within her heart. Sansa is the sort to observe what happens to others and keep that knowledge locked away so she can avoid their fates; she knows firsthand that royalty can be fickle and just because something seems pretty on the surface, does not mean it cannot be rotten underneath. She handles adversity with grace now, having been subjected to more adversity than a woman her age should ever experience, and refuses to let her enemies see weakness. She isn't afraid to call out a poor decision, though, and has done so both with her brother as King in the North and later with Queen Claimant Daenerys Targaryen.
Sansa has lived through harrowing experiences as a hostage has learned to keep herself and her desires close to the chest. She is savvy politically, knowing when to leverage for an alliance and when to leave a card on the table as she deems fit. Less prone to rash action than her brothers Robb and Jon, Sansa is coolly analytical of most situations and tries to see the board from all angles and predict what her enemy will do next - predict how best to wound them. She learned, after all, from those quite adept at cruelty. It is her experience with poor rulers that makes her suspicious of Daenerys Targaryen, even when the latter provides the strength of her armies and dragons for the war against the dead, and when Jon tells the Starks of his true parentage, she tells Tyrion Lannister in hopes of protecting her brother; Starks don't do well in the South and even if Jon was fathered by a Targaryen, he's still a Stark to Sansa.
When Jon is imprisoned for murdering a Daenerys Targaryen gone rogue, it is only on her brother's behalf that she rides south again - but this time with the support of thousands of Northmen. When the lords of Westeros raise Bran up as King, Sansa boldly asks for the North to be independent and to never kneel again to a king or queen in the south. Sansa is fierce and dangerous when riled and will protect her kin and her North with the fury of a direwolf even if she's seen as a proper lady most of the time. Sansa is someone who will never kneel to a tyrant again and has the grit and steel that the North expects of their kings, even if now they have a Queen in the North.
