as Sansa Stark
Character Overview: Catelyn and Eddard’s elder daughter, Sansa possesses the traditional feminine graces of her milieu and is a strong believer in the world of chivalry portrayed in stories and songs. She is traditionally beautiful, with high cheekbones, vivid blue eyes, thick red hair and a tall and graceful figure. She excels at many female leisure activities, including singing, dancing, playing musical instruments, eating lemoncakes, sewing, fashion, and social graces. She does not always have a good relationship with her sister Arya, whose interests are opposite in many respects and bewildering to Sansa. –Wikipedia
Recent Events: Sansa’s belief that her betrothed, Joffrey, will be a fair and just king is utterly destroyed when he orders the beheading of her father on the Great Sept of Baelor. Held as a captive for the Lannisters at King’s Landing, she is eventually forced to marry Tyrion Lannister in order to assure a claim to the North, and to Winterfell in particular. In the chaos of the Purple Wedding (Joffrey’s betrothal to Margaery Tyrell during which he is brutally poisoned in front of everyone), Sansa is finally spirited away from the Lannisters by none other than Littlefinger, who seems to have grander plans for her. She is witness to her aunt Lysa Arryn’s death by Littlefinger in the Eyrie.
