8 Things You Need To Know About The Women Of Game Of Thrones Season 6
2. Sansa's Luck Is Changing
1202336Sansa Stark is Game of Thrones' unluckiest character. In fact, that's an understatement, and undersells all of the abuse she's had to suffer at the hands of her tormentors, from the Lannisters to the Boltons.
The end of Season 5, however, saw her finally make a break for freedom, as she broke through Reek to get to Theon and the pair went over the wall of Winterfell.
We know that they definitely survived, but we haven't seen much else of the pair, their appearances in the trailer giving little away. They'll obviously have to start pretty close to Winterfell, with Ramsay presumably in pursuit and Brienne also trying to find the eldest Stark girl, but it's unclear where she'll go after that: the seat of a Stark loyalist, the Iron Islands, the Vale, or somewhere else entirely?
Wherever it is, she'll probably be going her own way from Theon, or at least that's what Sophie Turner and Alfie Allen think will happen. The trailer did give us a look at the pair of them, in separate scenes running through snow-covered woods, and we also saw Brienne and Littlefinger in similar locales. Sansa has already rejected Brienne's help once, and it's unclear just how much help she could provide or where she could take her, while Littlefinger would at least be able to spirit her away somewhere (likely the Vale), but the downside of that is, well, she's stuck with Littlefinger again - the man who married her to Ramsay in the first place.
The good news is that Sansa's luck is definitely changing in Season 6, with Turner commenting that it's "her best one yet" and mentioning she finally gets the respect she deserves.
Her relationship with Littlefinger, while creepy on his part, did train Sansa in the ways of the Game, and now she's set to become much more of a power player in Season 6.
