People need to stop insulting Sansa Stark in my presence. The girl is strong and she is fighting for survival, even if it's a different kind of strength than Arya. They are playing different games and just because she was soft spoken and girly doesn't mean she isn't a total and complete badass
YES I AM AWARE I AM WAY TOO INVOLVED IN FICTIONAL CHARACTERS
AND NO I DON'T CARE
PEOPLE NEED TO READ THE BOOKS AND TELL ME SANSA ISN'T A FRIKIN GEM
A GEM I TELL YOU!
Agreed! I wouldn't call her a badass (that's Arya to me) but I've always really liked Sansa chapters and I really like her character.
Sansa is intuitive, serious, calm, very composed, stoic, empathetic, very likable, adaptable. She's demure while still having self respect and confidence. People put her down because she isn't "proactive" enough, doesn't meddle, doesn't sass, she defers (at least on the surface), isn't outlandish, aggressive etc. Well good for her. She's naive but that isn't BAD lol she's a 12-13 year old girl born in good times, she was NOT AT ALL prepared for what Ned brought her to and she had every reason to be naive. She does learn, but just because she's had some rough times doesn't mean she's going to immediately change her whole worldview and become jaded and cynical. Which is good news for her, because she's basically stayed in everyone's good books. She has endeared herself to the most powerful schemer in the kingdom and one of the very best warriors. I believe she will succeed in life, once she has some elbow room. With Bran and Rickon gone, she's heir to Winterfell and maybe potentially Riverrun?
I'm always a bit miffed when people can't see the value in staying out of way in a situation like that and waiting for something THAT MIGHT ACTUALLY WORK to come along. Not that I dont' love her too, but Arya's had 1000 narrow escapes and is freaking lucky as hell she wasn't raped, killed, captured and given to
Ramsay Bolton, etc. Sansa has been consistently safer in court where she's valuable as heir to the North. (too involved in fictional characters, you say :lol-sign
