'Game of Thrones': Sansa Stark might just sit on the throne in Season 8. Here's why

She went from being a stupid little girl to the Lady of Winterfell, and soon she might be the one to sit on the throne, too.

Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner), the eldest daughter of the Stark family in HBO's 'Game of Thrones', is a girl who has learned to be a political leader and trust us when we say that people who learn on the way are the most dangerous. Sansa began her journey as a naive teenager who was thrilled at the idea of marrying a golden-haired prince, and unlike her siblings, she was not born with a natural passion for warfare. However, ever since Season 1, when she was just an ignorant little girl Sansa had time and again stated that she would want to be Queen someday. Over the course of the next six seasons, she might not have sat on the throne but Sansa certainly emerged as a Queen in all her glory. 

The key moment which triggered fear and shame in Sansa was when Ned Stark (Sean Bean) was executed in front of her, while she was compelled to watch her father's decapitated head. Ever since Sansa completely submitted herself to the Lannisters, and she would repeat every word of theirs like a faithful cub. At the same time, she was constantly on the lookout for an escape, but it all went to fail. However, even in a place like King's Landing Sansa found a few people who loved her and cared for her. As she was being sold out like a ragged piece of meat from men to men, she found recluse in Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) who was perhaps the only man who did not try to hurt her or even touch her.
