Sansa Stark

"I did what I had to do to survive, my lady. But I am a Stark, I will always be a Stark."

- Sansa Stark to Lyanna Mormont Lady Sansa Stark was the second child and elder daughter of Lord Eddard Stark and his wife, Lady Catelyn, the younger sister of Robb Stark, the older sister of Arya, Bran and Rickon Stark, and the "half-sister" of Jon Snow. Initially betrothed to Prince Joffrey Baratheon, Sansa essentially became a prisoner of House Lannister from the outset of the War of the Five Kings, until her escape from King's Landing during the Purple Wedding. Sansa was then married to Ramsay Bolton by Petyr Baelish, until she escaped Winterfell and mounted a campaign to retake the castle in her own family's name, with the help of her half-brother, Jon Snow. She became the ruling Lady of Winterfell and Lady Paramount of the North following the Battle of the Bastards, and became Wardeness of the North following Jon Snow's death during the Battle of King's Landing. During and following the Great War, Sansa never re-married, although she engaged in numerous affairs, either primarily or exclusively with women. She ruled from Winterfell until her death during the early reign of Robert II Baratheon, upon which she was succeeded by her younger brother, Bran Stark.
