Interpretation of this personal sigil: First notable point is that the artist has chosen an oval shield, something Sansa shares with Catelyn. In England women bear their arms on a lozenge, a diamond shape, but in continental Europe they use an oval -- iirc the artist has mentioned that English is not their first language so I'm assuming that's the preference for the oval, not that Westeros is England anyway lol. (And I presume that Arya didn't get an oval because hers was the artist's first design in this series, or because she doesn't often act as a traditional lady.) As for the rest -- the supporters are a grey direwolf for House Stark (which may also symbolize her direwolf Lady), and the Maiden of the Seven. The Maiden shares Sansa's auburn hair and has a "little bird" on her shoulder; a blue bird, like Sansa's blue eyes (which all the direwolves in this coat of arms also have). The Maiden also carries a bouquet of purple flowers, not sure which ones exactly, but purple flowers often symbolize nobility, success, and tradition; lavender flowers often symbolize grace, elegance, and youth.
On the shield, which is white for House Stark, are an auburn-colored direwolf, presumably symbolizing Sansa herself, with Lady the direwolf beside her. Lady is collared with a chain that is either shortened for art purposes or deliberately depicted as broken, perhaps to symbolize her tragic death or to symbolize how Sansa was "collared" by the Lannisters but has now escaped them. (The auburn direwolf has no collar.) The shield is divided by a wavy horizontal line for House Tully, with the Tully trout on blue below, for Sansa's maternal heritage. The crest is a red rose, probably referring to the rose granted to Sansa at the Hand's Tourney. Above it is a chain bearing dark purple amethysts, presumably referring to the hairnet of strangler crystals that Sansa unknowingly wore to the Purple Wedding. And the compartment is weirwood branches for House Stark, the same as all the artist's designs for these Stark family personal sigils.
