==Appearance and Character==
{{See also|:Category:Images of Sansa Stark|l1=Images of Sansa Stark}}
Sansa is traditionally beautiful, taking after her mother's family ([[House Tully]]) with her high cheekbones,{{ref|AGOT|7}} vivid blue eyes,{{ref|ASOS|60}} and thick auburn hair.{{ref|ASOS|60}} She is eleven years old at the start of ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]''.{{ref|AGOT|4}} As she has grown up, her figure has been described as tall,{{ref|affc|23}} graceful,<ref name="twow">''[[The Winds of Winter]]'', [[Alayne I (The Winds of Winter)|Alayne I]]</ref> and womanly.{{ref|asos|16}}

Sansa was raised a lady, and possesses the traditional feminine graces of her milieu, with a keen interest in music, poetry, singing, dancing, embroidery, and other traditional feminine activities. Like many girls her age, Sansa is enthralled by songs and stories of romance and adventure, particularly those depicting handsome princes, honorable [[knight]]s, chivalry, and love.{{Ref|aGoT|7}} Initially those song and stories were Sansa's vision of the world beyond [[Winterfell]], a world she desperately wishes to experience, but she is later disabused of such innocent romanticized notions. She keeps faith with both the [[old gods]] and the [[faith of the Seven|Seven]].{{ref|AGOT|57}}

Sansa's relationship with her sister [[Arya Stark|Arya]] is often strained, and the two are opposites in most respects.{{ref|AGOT|7}} She is fond of [[lemon cake]]s.{{ref|ASOS|6}}

==History==
Sansa is the eldest daughter and second child of Lady [[Catelyn Stark|Catelyn]] and Lord [[Eddard Stark]], head of [[House Stark]] and [[Warden of the North]]. She was born and raised at [[Winterfell]]. In her eleven years, she learns the duties of a noble daughter and is tutored by Septa [[Mordane]] in the traditional womanly activities. Sansa has a younger sister, [[Arya Stark|Arya]], an older brother, [[Robb Stark|Robb]], and two younger brothers, [[Bran Stark|Bran]] and [[Rickon Stark|Rickon]]. Sansa also has a bastard half-brother, [[Jon Snow]].

===''A Game of Thrones''===
[[File:Lady by smirtouille.jpg|thumb|350px|Sansa with [[Lady (direwolf)|Lady]]. Illustrated by Smirtouille, © Fantasy Flight Games.]]
Sansa names her [[direwolf]] pup [[Lady (direwolf)|Lady]].{{ref|AGOT|7}} With her father [[Eddard Stark]]'s appointment as [[Hand of the King]], Sansa is delighted at the prospect of life at court in [[King's Landing]] and is thrilled by her betrothal to the handsome Prince [[Joffrey Baratheon]].

On their journey to the capital, Sansa is frightened when she meets Ser [[Ilyn Payne]] at the [[crossroads inn]]. Joffrey courts Sansa at the insistence of his mother, Queen [[Cersei Lannister]]. The two are walking together near the [[ruby ford]] when they come upon her sister [[Arya Stark|Arya]] playing at swords with the boy [[Mycah]]. Joffrey draws his sword and threatens Mycah, but Arya fights with him; her direwolf [[Nymeria (direwolf)|Nymeria]] disarms and superficially wounds him.{{Ref|aGoT|15}}

Later recounting the tale to Joffrey's father, King [[Robert I Baratheon]], at [[Darry]], Arya tells the truth while Joffrey lies, saying that Mycah, Arya, and Nymeria attacked him without provocation. Sansa, not wishing to betray her future husband, lies and refuses to verify either story, pleading that she does not remember. Cersei uses the opportunity to insist that the direwolf that attacked her son be killed. Arya, having anticipated this, had driven Nymeria away. To assuage the queen, Sansa's direwolf Lady is killed by Eddard instead.{{Ref|aGoT|16}}

In King's Landing, Sansa feuds with her sister, placing the majority of the blame on Arya for her direwolf's death. She remains infatuated with Joffrey, largely overlooking his violent mood swings, and develops a close relationship with Queen Cersei as well. Attending the [[Hand's tourney]] celebrating her father's appointment, she finds many of her notions of [[knight]]ly valor and chivalry reinforced, seeing the events as worthy of one of her favored stories. [[Sandor Clegane]] tells Sansa the story of how his brother burned his face, to warn her about the dangers she faces. She also develops a crush on Ser [[Loras Tyrell]], the Knight of Flowers; when he gives her a red rose, she is certain she is living in a romantic song.{{Ref|aGoT|29}}

[[File:Sansa-ANobleCause-DrazenkaKimpel.jpg|thumb|350px|Sansa kneels before the [[Iron Throne]], pleading for the life of her father, [[Eddard Stark]]. Illustrated by Drazenka Kimpel, © Fantasy Flight Games.]]

After her father discovers the truth of Joffrey's parentage and tells his daughters that he is returning them to [[Winterfell]] on the ''[[Wind Witch]]'', Sansa, in an act of defiance, runs to the queen and tells her of her father's plans, pleading that she might be allowed to stay and marry Joffrey. Her doing so unwittingly aids Cersei's plot against her father.{{Ref|aGoT|44}}{{Ref|aGoT|50}} After Lord Eddard's arrest, Sansa is forced to call her father a traitor. She pleads in front of the king and his retainers for mercy. Joffrey, now king after Robert's death, promises to be merciful,{{ref|AGOT|57}} but on the steps of the [[Great Sept of Baelor]] he orders Ilyn to execute Eddard as Sansa helplessly looks on.{{ref|AGOT|65}}

Even after Eddard's beheading, Cersei declares that Joffrey should still be [[Marriage|married]] to Sansa upon her flowering. Sansa, horrified at the prospect and only wanting to return home, has no choice but to remain in King's Landing during the deteriorating situation, as a hostage, and denounce her father and brother as traitors. Joffrey shows Sansa her father's head, which has been placed on a spike on the Red Keep. This prompts her to consider an attempt to kill him, even if it means she will die, but the action is prevented by Sandor, who sees her intention and subtly stops her.{{ref|AGOT|67}}

===''A Clash of Kings''===
[[File:Mathia_Arkoniel_the_riot.jpg|thumb|350px|The Hound rescued Sansa Stark during the Riot of King’s Landing. - by Mathia Arkoniel ©]]
Now effectively a hostage in the [[Red Keep]], Sansa armors herself in her lady's courtesies as she dutifully goes through the motions of denouncing her family as traitors and pleading to them for peace.

Joffrey frequently orders her to be beaten by his [[Kingsguard]]{{ref|ACOK|2}} as punishment for actions taken by her rebellious brother [[Robb Stark|Robb]], who has been crowned [[King in the North]].{{ref|ACOK|32}} At the [[tourney on King Joffrey's name day]], Sansa realizes she has lost her romantic notions about knightly and courtly love. At the tourney, Ser [[Dontos Hollard]] disgraces himself by showing up too drunk to compete. Joffrey decides he should be killed, causing a horrified Sansa to make up a convincing lie which Sandor backs up. Sansa pleads successfully with the king to spare Dontos, and a placated Joffrey instead strips him of his knighthood and makes him a court [[fool]], as Sansa suggested.{{Ref|aCoK|2}}

When [[Tyrion Lannister]] arrives in the city and assumes the position of acting [[Hand of the King]], he sees an end to the more overt abuses directed at Sansa, including stopping Ser [[Meryn Trant]] from stripping the girl naked and beating her.{{ref|ACOK|32}} Sansa develops a unique relationship with Sandor, who despite his brusque words and hideous demeanor treats her gently, protects her, and refuses to beat her at Joffrey's command. He privately mocks her for her naive nature but also displays sympathy for her predicament.{{ref|ACOK|18}}

One night Sansa finds a note in her room, directing her to come to the godswood if she wants to go home. It is from Dontos, who promises that a plan is in place to free her from the Lannisters and bring her to Winterfell. Wary of a trap, she agrees to Dontos's promise, who in turn counsels patience and perseverance. Feigning a newfound piety to the [[old gods]], Sansa makes frequent trips to the godswood to meet with Dontos, at first seeing him as a gallant rescuer who seeks redemption for the shame he brought upon himself, though she eventually comes to doubt his competence. They refer to each other as [[Florian the Fool|Florian]] and [[Jonquil]].{{Ref|aCoK|18}}{{Ref|ACOK|52}}

During the [[riot of King's Landing]] after the departure of Princess [[Myrcella Baratheon]] to [[Dorne]], Ser [[Mandon Moore]] abandons Sansa to protect Joffrey and the girl is separated from the royal party. Sandor rescues the wounded Sansa from the mob and returns her to the Red Keep.{{ref|ACOK|41}}

[[File:Luaprata91 sandor sansa eve of battle.JPG|Sandor takes a song from Sansa during the [[Battle of the Blackwater]]. Illustrated by © Luaprata91.|thumb|350px]]

As [[Stannis Baratheon]]'s army approaches the city, Sansa experiences her first [[flowering]], making her officially a woman.{{Ref|aCoK|52}} During the [[Battle of the Blackwater]] Sansa takes refuge with many of the other ladies of the court in the sept of the Red Keep. She remains strong and attempts to calm many of the other frightened women, despite the bitter and cynical words of a drunk Cersei, who spends her time sniping at Sansa and the other attendant ladies before storming out.{{ref|ACOK|60}}{{ref|ACOK|62}}

When Sansa returns to her chambers, she finds Sandor hidden in her room, broken from the threat of [[wildfire]]. He drunkenly offers to take Sansa with him as he flees the city. She refuses, and he makes her sing for him at knifepoint.{{Ref|aCoK|62}} After he leaves, Sansa puts on Sandor's bloody cloak, then keeps it in a chest with her summer dresses. Later on, Sansa remembers [[UnKiss|something else]] happening, she believes Sandor kissed her that night. Dontos later informs Sansa that Stannis was defeated by the arrival of Lord [[Tywin Lannister]] and [[House Tyrell]].{{ref|ACOK|62}}

After the Lannister victory, it is announced that Sansa's betrothal to Joffrey is at an end, for the Crown's alliance with the Tyrells includes a marriage pact between Joffrey and Lord [[Mace Tyrell]]'s daughter, [[Margaery Tyrell]]. Joffrey assures Sansa he will still get to have her sexually, stating as a king he can take whomever he wants to bed. Sansa remains in King's Landing, still a hostage to the Lannisters; Dontos assures her the plan to get her home is still in place after the wedding, giving her a hairnet adorned with [[the strangler|dark purple amethysts]].{{Ref|aCoK|65}}

===''A Storm of Swords''===
[[File:Natascha Roeoesli Sansa hairnet.jpg|thumb|350px|Sansa Stark with her amethyst hairnet. Illustrated by Natascha Röösli, © Fantasy Flight Games.]]
Sansa remembers the night Sandor left, and she wishes he was still there. Sansa is asked to sup with [[Margaery Tyrell]] and her grandmother [[Olenna Redwyne]]. Ser [[Loras Tyrell]] takes her breath away with his beauty and compliments, but he does not appear to remember her or the rose from the [[Hand's tourney]]. When Olenna tries to find out more about Joffery, Sansa confesses that the king is a monster and begs Margaery not to marry him. Margaery insists that she will be safe with her brother Loras's addition to the [[Kingsguard]], and brushes off the concerns. The Tyrell women raise the possibility of Sansa being taken to [[Highgarden]] to be married to the Tyrell heir, [[Willas Tyrell|Willas]], who is crippled, but kind, intelligent, and capable. Sansa readily agrees, anxious to be free of the Lannisters, and she becomes friends with Margaery for a time.{{Ref|aSoS|6}}

Sansa shares with Ser Dontos the Tyrell plot, and Dontos advises her against it, fearfully noting that the Tyrells are not as gentle as they seem.{{ref|ASOS|16}} Sansa, frustrated with the apparent lack of progress in Dontos's own supposed plans, disregards his warnings. However, he informs his employer, Lord [[Petyr Baelish]], of the plot, who in turn informs the Lannisters.

[[File:Flawed by algesiras.jpg|thumb|300px|Sansa's wedding to the Imp, [[Tyrion Lannister]]. Illustrated by © Algesiras.]]

Not wishing to lose their hostage, Lord [[Tywin Lannister]] acts quickly to marry Sansa to [[Tyrion Lannister]] against the wishes of both parties.{{ref|ASOS|19}} Sansa, now thirteen, does her best to hide her feelings toward her disfigured [[dwarf]] husband, remaining courteous despite her disgust with his appearance, and her deep unhappiness with the marriage. Tyrion does not require that she consummate the marriage, for which Sansa is grateful,{{ref|asos|28}} particularly after learning of the deaths of her mother [[Catelyn Stark|Catelyn]] and brother [[Robb Stark|Robb]] at the [[Red Wedding]].{{ref|asos|59}}

Dontos insists that Sansa wear the hairnet he gave to her earlier to the wedding between Joffrey and Margaery, which she does. When Joffrey [[Purple Wedding|chokes and dies]] at the wedding feast, Sansa flees and meets with Dontos. He escorts her to a boat that takes her to a ship, where she is greeted by Lord Baelish, known as Littlefinger. He explains that Joffrey's death was due to [[strangler|a poison]] that had been smuggled into the feast, disguised as the amethysts on her hairnet, and shares with Sansa some of the details of the plot between himself and Lady Olenna to kill Joffrey. Littlefinger also has Dontos killed and dumped overboard, explaining that while he had played his part well, a drunk such as Dontos could never be entrusted to keep such sensitive information secret for long.{{ref|asos|61}}

The ''[[Merling King]]'' takes Sansa to Petyr's meager personal holdings, the original 'little finger' of land of the [[Vale of Arryn|Vale]]. Because Sansa is wanted as Tyrion's accomplice in connection with Joffrey's death, Petyr coaches her on a story to pass her off as his bastard daughter '''Alayne Stone''', so as to avoid detection. At [[Drearfort|Petyr's holdfast]] along the [[Fingers]], Sansa's aunt, [[Lysa Arryn]], meets with them and weds Petyr. While her aunt and Petyr are intimate after the bedding ritual, Sansa muses on her own unpleasant wedding night with Tyrion and wondering what has become of Sandor. Upon returning to her bed for the night, she is accosted by Lysa's singer, [[Marillion]], who tries to rape her. Sansa is saved by the intervention of [[Lothor Brune]], Littlefinger's personal guard. After briefly thinking that it is Sandor and not Lothor who rescued her, Sansa dreams of Sandor in her marriage bed, as well as the deaths of Joffrey and Robb. In the morning, Lysa reveals she knows Sansa is her niece. Lysa agrees to assist in the deception, providing the girl with hair dye to color her most obvious [[House Tully|Tully]] feature, her auburn hair. Lysa also proposes to wed Sansa to her sickly son, Lord [[Robert Arryn]]. Sansa is appalled by this, but keeps her true feelings to herself.{{ref|asos|68}}

[[File:MKomarck SansaEyrie.jpg|thumb|300px|Sansa as Alayne Stone, building a snow [[Winterfell]] in the gardens of the [[Eyrie]]. Illustrated by Michael Komarck, © Fantasy Flight Games.]]

Later in the [[Eyrie]], Sansa finds herself having to comfort young Robert, who is no longer able to share his mother's bed, since Petyr is in it. Robert frequently crawls into her bed and she is disgusted by his shaking sickness, which often leads him to wet her bed. Increasingly resembling a grown woman, she denies the sexual advances of Marillion. Sansa is homesick in the Eyrie, and when snow falls in the courtyard where the [[godswood]] would not grow, she makes an elaborate snow fort, which eventually takes the shape of [[Winterfell]]. She is surprised when Lord Baelish helps her and kisses her. Before she has time to digest what happened, Robert comes out and destroys the castle which upsets her even more. She rips his doll and he goes into a shaking spell.{{ref|asos|80}}

Lysa witnessed the kiss and in a fit of jealous rage attempts to kill Sansa by shoving her out of the [[Moon Door]]. Littlefinger arrives in time to intervene, however, and instead shoves Lysa out of the Moon Door to her death, framing Marillion for the murder and involving Sansa in the cover-up.{{ref|asos|80}}

===''A Feast for Crows''===
[[Brienne of Tarth]] is sent by Ser [[Jaime Lannister]] to find Sansa. Along the road to [[Duskendale]] she meets Ser [[Shadrich|Shadrich of the Shady Glen]], a hedge knight also seeking the girl.{{ref|AFFC|4}}

During a meeting of the new [[small council]] of King [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen I Baratheon]], Queen Regent [[Cersei Lannister]] is angered that Sansa, whom Cersei believes she tried to mentor, helped to [[Purple Wedding|murder her son]].{{Ref|aFfC|17}}

[[File:Drazenka KimpelAlayne Stone.png|thumb|350px|Alayne Stone. Illustrated by Drazenka Kimpel, © Fantasy Flight Games.]]

Sansa, still in the guise of "Alayne Stone", becomes the ''de facto'' Lady of the [[Eyrie]], comforting her sickly young cousin Lord [[Robert Arryn|Robert]] while being tutored by Lord Baelish in some of the finer points of courtly intrigue. She tells Lord [[Nestor Royce]] that Marillion killed Lysa Arryn, not Littlefinger, and she deduces that Petyr grants the [[Gates of the Moon]] to Nestor to gain his political support.{{ref|AFFC|10}} Lysa's jewels and wardrobe of silks, satins, velvets, and furs are given by Petyr to Alayne, although most of the clothing is too large for her.{{ref|AFFC|23}}

When Ser [[Lyn Corbray]] draws his sword during a parlay at the Eyrie between Petyr and the [[Lords Declarant]], Littlefinger leverages the breach of etiquette to demand a trial period of regency over the little Lord Robert, whom she calls Sweetrobin. Alayne correctly surmises that Lyn is under Petyr's employ, which Littlefinger confirms.{{ref|AFFC|23}}

The Arryn court departs the Eyrie for the Gates of the Moon because of the onset of Winter. Preparing for departure, Alayne lets Sweetrobin kiss her, but when his lips touch hers, she remembers Sandor kissing her. Alayne befriends Lord Nestor's daughter, [[Myranda Royce]], and helps Robert during the journey down the [[Giant's Lance]]. Alayne tells Myranda that she is fourteen, a year older than Sansa actually is at the time. Once at the Gates of the Moon, Alayne is introduced to three hedge knights, among which is Ser Shadrich. Petyr later reveals his plan to Alayne for the eventual marriage of Sansa to the heir of the Vale of Arryn, Ser [[Harrold Hardyng]], and to reveal her true identity to the Lords of the Vale and to reclaim [[Winterfell]] in her name.{{ref|affc|41}}

===''The Winds of Winter''===
{{Warning|This information has thus far been released in a sample chapter for ''[[The Winds of Winter]]'', and might therefore not be in finalized form. Keep in mind that the content as described below is still subject to change.}}
Finding a means of meeting her betrothed, Alayne suggests that a personal guard be formed to protect [[Robert Arryn]], named the [[Brotherhood of Winged Knights]], whose initial members would be selected in a tourney. She meets the newly-knighted [[Harrold Hardyng]] when he comes to the [[Gates of the Moon]] to compete for a position in the brotherhood. When he first meets Alayne he treats her with contempt for her bastard status. Sansa recognizes this despite his attractive appearance, remembering [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey's]] terrible treatment of her despite his attractive appearance compared with his unattractive uncle [[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion's]] "kinder" treatment of her. She attempts to beguile Harrold during a feast held that evening at the behest of [[Petyr Baelish]].<ref name="twow"/>

The Hound had turned craven, she heard it said; at the height of the battle, he got so drunk the Imp had to take his men. But Sansa understood. She knew the secret of his burned face. It was only the fire he feared. That night, the wildfire had set the river itself ablaze, and filled the very air with green flame. Even in the castle, Sansa had been afraid.
