Game Of Thrones Season 8: 11 Characters Who Could Kill Cersei Lannister

11. Sansa Stark

Sansa Stark Game Of Thrones
HBO

Sansa has grown exponentially over the course of the series, going from the naive little girl who dreamed of marrying the prince to one of the shrewdest players of the game.

One of her greatest teachers along the way is Cersei, who Sansa herself admits she learned a lot from. But that doesn't mean she likes or trusts her. Sansa and Cersei do have a shared rival right now in the shape of Daenerys - there's even a suggestion that Sansa told Cersei of Dany's plans - but Sansa still recognises that Cersei isn't a good ruler either.

One of the main prophecies surrounding Cersei, which DID make it into the show, is that of a younger Queen striking her down. Cersei thought it was Margaery, and it's now shaping up to be Dany. But could it be Sansa? Maybe. It would fit with her growth, although it is admittedly difficult to see her leaving the North at this stage.
