OUT OF CHARACTER:
Name/Handle: Cerie
Contact: PM this journal
Other characters: N/A
Participated in DF endgame: Y
IN-CHARACTER:
Character name: Sansa Stark
Character journal:theladyofwinterfell
Series name: Game of Thrones
Canon notes:
Sansa went home following Drift Fleet and resumed her journey from Game of Thrones 7x07 The Dragon and the Wolf until the end of the series, 8x06 The Iron Throne. In that time, she saw the dead defeated and the destruction of King's Landing by Daenerys Targaryen. Her brother has been exiled beyond the Wall for killing Daenerys and Sansa has been crowned Queen in the North just as her brother Bran has been elected King of the Six Kingdoms.
Species: Human
Age: 20
Arrival Condition: Uninjured aside from old scarring.
History:
Within Drift Fleet, Sansa learned how to use modern technology and become adept with it. She was also exposed to different styles of living different to her own. Sansa was able to see the normalization of homosexuality in a way her home canon never has shown and she's seen that men and women do not have to marry if they want to be with one another.
She also formed a deep friendship with the canon version of Winter Soldier and he taught her how to fight physically when all of Sansa's battles up until this point had been solely with quick wit and diplomacy. These are things she took back with her to Winterfell and aided her greatly in the Battle against the Dead where she and Tyrion were trapped in a crypt with wights.
Another thing that her time in Drift Fleet did was help her form a deep, romantic relationship with Tyrion Lannister, her first husband. Sansa, after a long while, was able to physically consummate this relationship and enjoy sex without being in pain or fear.
Canonical History.
Personality:
Sansa Stark is a girl 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. She knows that love and trust are crib-tales told to girls long before they learn the truth and she knows that her greatest weapon, aside from her name, is her ability to convince men that she does, in fact, care for them while she’s twisting the knife in their back.
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.
In spite of that, she 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. 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.
Sansa’s enemies are numerous but unlike her sister, her weapons are words and not swords. She has spent the last six or seven years of her life quite literally in a den of lions and 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, it is often rotten underneath. She handles adversity with grace now, having been subjected to more adversity than a girl her age should ever experience, and refuses to let her enemies see weakness.
Sansa has lived through harrowing experiences as a prisoner of first the Lannisters and later the Boltons and 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.
Sansa jealously guards her trust and having been hurt so much by those who profess to love her, it is very difficult to earn that trust. She engages the world warily and with caution, skittish now from having learned the hard what love and trust can earn her. It will take some time for her to open up to new people and even ones she's known before are looked at with harsh scrutiny before she lets them in.
Developments in the Fleet
After coming to the Fleet, Sansa started to let people in little by little. The environment of space is quite different from Westeros and absent of the political rivalries that have colored her life up until this point, she was able to learn how to trust a handful of people again. She learned how to cope with modern sensibilities and modern technology as well - becoming adept in communicating via video and text and comfortable with taking shuttles down to planets. She also learned how to play poker, swim, hand to hand combat, and how to play the Atroma for ratings (e.g. most memorably when she stole a lemon cake from Felix's party).
Jim Kirk was instrumental in aiding her with that transition and she came to rely upon him to guide her through new and unfamiliar territory as a guiding hand. She also learned how to utilize a crude form of water-bending through an upgrade and had a charm upgrade as well. She also relied upon Tyrion to help her adjust from medieval life to post-modern space and learned physical hand to hand/swimming with Jim and Lance. Winter Soldier furthered her physical training and taught her how to be adept with a knife and how to easily escape a man's hold.
Pets: Lady, her direwolf.
Abilities: Through the upgrades system in DF, Sansa had:
Charm Rank II - You will find it is easier to haggle and barter in your favor, and those who spend time with you may be more receptive to your ideas over their own. Occasionally, strangers on waystations/planets will follow you around.
Water Rank II - You can alter the direction and intensity of the flow of the water you summon. The amount of water you can produce could almost fill a half-gallon pitcher.
Personal Item: Sansa has a bikini from Drift Fleet she'd like to keep.
Drift Fleet Evidence: I participated in the last AC round at DF.
