Sansa Stark is a member of the Stark family, the rulers of the North. Her father is the much-loved Ned Stark, who helped Robert Baratheon secure the Iron Throne in the war against the Targaryen’s. She has a younger sister, Arya Stark, who she didn’t get on with as a child, but the pair gradually learn to trust and depend on one another. When we first meet Sansa, she is a timid and easily impressionable young girl, but gradually develops into a tough and decisive player in the Game of Thrones. She is generally supported by the North, who view the Starks as their rightful rulers.
