Sansa Stark
Sansa Stark, portrayed by Sophie Turner, is one of the most transformative characters in the Game of Thrones TV series. As the eldest daughter of Eddard and Catelyn Stark, her journey from a naive young girl to a shrewd and resilient leader is a cornerstone of the epic saga.
Initially introduced in Season 1 as a dreamy teenager betrothed to Joffrey Baratheon, Sansa’s early storyline is marked by hardship. Betrayed, manipulated, and enduring immense trauma, including the loss of her family and captivity in King’s Landing, she evolves through seasons of suffering. Her time with key figures like Petyr Baelish and her escape to the North shape her into a strategic thinker. By Season 8, Sansa emerges as the Queen in the North, showcasing her growth into a wise and commanding leader.
