Sansa has some pretty triggering backstory, so if that sort of thing bothers you, please let me know below so I can react accordingly.



Sansa has been flayed on the backs of her thighs, her back, and the bottoms of her feet; these scars still pain her from time to time, especially her feet when she's been standing too long. She has old scars on her back from flogging. She spent approximately a year in a forced marriage with Ramsay Bolton, a sadist and torturer. She's never had consensual sex and most of the sex she's been subjected to was rough and degrading.

Westeros isn't a place where women have much agency, so while Sansa knows that not all men treat their wives the way Ramsay treated her, she also has difficulty believing sex can be pleasurable for both parties.



Sansa can be quite charming but she keeps her personal information close to the chest. She's quiet and prefers sewing or music to outdoor pursuits and she's not very confident with physical activity (aside from dancing - Sansa is a great dancer).

People who tend to be sarcastic or persistent do get under her skin; off-color jokes will often illicit a sarcastic response from her in kind and she is very sharp with her words because they are her only weapons.

Her triggering backstory is not likely to come up in a casual conversation (she is only likely to mention having been married before or being a widow).
