Sansa Stark and Brienne of Tarth

Help me, she prayed, send me a friend, a true knight to champion me . . . // I will find her, my lady, Brienne swore to Lady Catelyn's restless shade. I will never stop looking. I will give up my life if need be, give up my honor, give up all my dreams, but I will find her.

Sansa being married of her own volition and choice is SO different from Sansa being married by force. Sansa, in a marriage of her choosing, is girlish and free. She has her moments of insecurity because she wants to be the best wife that she can be. But she's free. She'll show herself. And Sansa in her freedom can be girlish and witty. She'll make quips. She smiles a lot. She makes him clothes constantly with her house sigil because he's family. She's eager to show that she's not cold or unfeeling. She feels all these things when they are EARNED and she shows them in kind. She's gracious and thoughtful. UGH SOMEONE LOVE MY BABY!

Sansa + Dances

Sansa could sew and dance and sing. She wrote poetry. She knew how to dress. She played the high harp and the bells.

She had often daydreamed of how she would dance at her wedding, with every eye upon her and her handsome lord. In her dreams they had all been smiling.

Joffrey and Margaery led in their place. How can a monster dance so beautifully? Sansa wondered.

Smiling, she let the music take her, losing herself in the steps, in the sound of flute and pipes and harp, in the rhythm of the drum . . . and from time to time in Ser Garlan's arms, when the dance brought them together.

And then the dance brought her face-to-face with Joffrey. Sansa stiffened as his hand touched hers, but the king tightened his grip and drew her closer.

Sansa loved to dance, but Alayne . . .

#sansa stark #asoiaf #sansaisms #the way she has to hide the part of herself that loves to dance in order to survive #while her sister is trying to master a deadlier sort of dance to survive #their childhood being stolen from them im sick

“Even the gods were silent. The Eyrie boasted a sept, but no septon; a godswood, but no heart tree. No prayers are answered here, she often thought, though some days she felt so lonely she had to try.” — Sansa II, AFFC

"I am Alayne, Father. Who else would I be?"

Sansa, rumoured to have warged into a wolf with bat wings after killing joffrey, as Alayne Stone. Through her mother's side, she's related to the whents, whose sigil is a bat. As littlefinger's bastard, she is connected to harrenhal, once home to mad danelle lothson who was accused of sending out giant bats to carry off children into the night.

Sansa warning margaery about joffrey being a monster

"A monster," she whispered, so tremulously she could scarcely hear her own voice. "Joffrey is a monster. He lied about the butcher's boy and made Father kill my wolf. When I displease him, he has the Kingsguard beat me. He's evil and cruel, my lady, it's so.

Ned warning cersei about robert's reaction to her children being jaime's

You must be gone by then. You and your children, all three, and not to Casterly Rock. If I were you, I should take ship for the Free Cities, or even farther, to the Summer Isles or the Port of Ibben. As far as the winds blow.

Eddard XII, AGOT

Sansa + shining

“Sansa looked radiant” — Jon I, AGOT

“Sansa would shine in the south” — Catelyn II, AGOT

“The serving girls [...] scrubbed her head to toe until she glowed” — Sansa III, ASOS

The name “Alayne” is a variation of “Elaine” meaning shining light.

“She was beautiful. Sansa had gotten their mother's fine high cheekbones and the thick auburn hair of the Tullys.”

“The northern girl. Winterfell's daughter.”
