So did Littlefinger. Sansa will not have any fighting skills and divine intervention that Jon has, the fighting while blind skills and face-changing of Arya, or Bran's supernatural abilities. Sansa, however, has started to amass the cunning and political skills she learned from LF. Jon may have been elected the war-time king of the North, but Sansa pulled the strings. LF is the most ruthless player in GoT, and his only weakness is Sansa. You forget that she is still married to Tyrion, and Brienne and Jaime have both pledged to save her. The Hound also has a soft spot for her. You can count in Theon as well. Jon, Arya, and Bran may do all the fighting and saving, but Sansa is the one who'll pull the strings. Of all the Starks, she's the most underestimated, which is why her eventual rise to the top will be all the more surprising. Remember, GoT was based on the War of the Roses. Elizabeth I won the throne after that generational war. She was a red-headed, virgin, kept hostage by the royal family, had a traitor mother who was beheaded, trained by an older, ambitious man (Seymour), and most importantly she was underestimated. Of all the characters in GoT, who do you think closely resemble her? Remember, the marriage to Ramsay and rapes were invented in the show. As of the last book, Sansa was still a virgin, and it was a different character who was married to Ramsay.
She was a brat, but I don't think she deserved everything that happened to her. The upside to all her suffering is that she's now stronger and more cunning than her old self.
I don't understand this comment. Lady's death started a transformation in Sansa's character.
