Game Of Thrones: 10 Most Powerful People Going Into Season 6

7. Sansa Stark

Sansa Stark is playing the game, and playing it well. The point has always been made about her being courteous while Arya was the adventure-seeker, and that always went against Sansa. Now the eldest Stark daughter is proving that she is of enormous importance, and you've got to think that if the two girls swapped scenarios, Arya would've been dead a long time ago. The innocence of Sansa has bought her time, and now that she appears to have escaped Winterfell, she suddenly finds herself with an incredible amount of power. Sansa is seemingly the only Stark who can unite the Northern Houses and bring down the reign of the Boltons. Sansa (and Sophie Turner) is vastly improving and getting wiser as time passes. She just needs to position herself with the right faction with her next move and she can be a genuine powerhouse in Westeros.
