D@ny claims to care for her people - but Sansa is the one who truly looks after their needs. 

D@ny claims to want peace for her people, but she brings only a storm - and Sansa weathers that storm. 

D@ny has utilized her armies dragons and ensuing ruthlessness to fulfill her obsession of claiming her “birthright” - Sansa has utilized her acquired political and self-preservation instincts to protect her people. 

A Song of Ice and Fire is based on the war of the roses...

Parallels between Elizabeth of York from The War of the Roses, and Sansa Stark in A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones:

Elizabeth of York: Eldest daughter of Edward IV of England                         Sansa Stark: Eldest daughter of Lord Eddard of House Stark

Both of their fathers died unexpectedly 

Both of their brothers ascended the throne

Both had someone conspire towards the downfall of their families

Both had their two younger brothers go missing

Both lived as bastards (all thanks to the schemes of the men mentioned above)

Both had strange romantic relationships with the men who conspired against their families 

Elizabeth of York: Married King Henry VII and became Queen of England. Sansa Stark: Will become Queen of the Seven Kingdoms (based on history)

Elizabeth was a very successful queen. She performed her queenly role to perfection, understanding exactly what was required of her, and conforming seemingly effortlessly to the late medieval ideal of queenship, which constrained her to a role that was essentially decorous, symbolic and dynastic. She was beautiful, devout, fertile and kind – the traditional good queen. Despite being a political arrangement at first, her marriage to Henry Tudor proved successful and both partners appear to have grown to love each other. Her goodness shines forth in the records; she was greatly loved, and deservedly so.

If battling Depression has changed anything in my life, it has definitely redefined my definition of strength. I used to think of strength as having bad things happen to you and not be affected at all. Now I know that strength doesn’t mean not letting anything affect you, but rather having terrible things happen to you and be affected by them in the worst possible way and yet still manage to carry on and piece your life back together. Thats what strength is and Sansa embodies that perfectly. She was physically and mentally abused by so many people, (Cersei, Joffrey, Littlefinger, Ramsay, etc.) and has lived though so much tradgedy (her family getting killed, living through a hostage situation, being betrothed to a psychopath, being sold into what is basically sex slavery, marrying and getting raped and tortured by the man responsible for murdering her family, etc). Yet, in spite of all this, Sansa was able to carry on and rebuild her life piece by piece. And lok at her now! She is the Lady of Winterfell, in an incredibly important position of power and is handling it amazingly well! And she is the glue holding everyone else around her together. Sansa is one of, if not THE strongest woman on the show. This is why she is one of my favourites and I hope everyone comes to realize it! 

Sansa, you’re doing amazing sweetie! I love you and couldn’t be prouder of you! 

And and and I didn't mean the Qarth blue dress, I meant the wrap dress with skinny breeches (?) that she wore a lot this season. I thought it seemed perfect. You didn't like it?

I think the religious concerns influencing it makes a lot of sense. They would tend to more conservative than the highgarden counterpart. Now I am thinking of poor Sansa talking about how the clothes is Highgarden are "far superior to the ones in King's Landing".
