Game of Thrones creators agree Sansa Stark has undergone the most change in eight seasons

Entertainment Weekly

“She started out so naive and was forced to undergo the most brutal possible education into the world but emerged from it and became this powerful figure and kind of against all odds," says co-creator David Benioff. "I don’t think too many people watching the first season had any expectation that Sansa would become the woman that she became. And part of that is the story and part of that is Sophie Turner and the phenom she turned out to be as an actress. We knew when we cast Sophie that she was this really good child actor but we had no idea she’d become the force that’s she’s become. So if I had to pick one, I’d pick Sansa.” Fellow co-creator D.B. Weiss agreed, though he pointed out Bran Stark has undergone quite a transformation.
