baelish brokers a marriage between sansa and ramsay bolton, now the heir to the north after the death of robb stark. though sansa is reluctant to marry ramsay, as his father roose had personally murdered robb, baelish persuades her by claiming that the marriage will give her the opportunity to avenge her family. on the way to winterfell, they encounter brienne of tarth, who had sworn to catelyn stark to take sansa to safety and tries to convince sansa to come with her; baelish has her chased off by his men, but brienne follows sansa to winterfell regardless. though initially charming, ramsay's sadistic nature becomes apparent when sansa discovers that he has captured and enslaved ned's former ward theon greyjoy, and forced him to assume the identity of his serving man, reek. sansa and ramsay wed in front of the godswood. that night, ramsay rapes sansa, and forces reek to watch. over the next few days, ramsay continues to rape and beat sansa every night, and keeps her locked in her bedchamber. sansa begs reek to help her signal her northern allies by lighting a candle in the broken tower. reek, wishing to spare sansa from bolton's wrath, instead tells ramsay. he proceeds to flay the maid who had told sansa of the signal, and forces sansa to look at her corpse. furious, sansa confronts reek, who admits that he had failed to capture sansa's brothers bran and rickon, and killed two farm boys in their place. while the boltons prepare to battle stannis baratheon's advancing forces, sansa signals to brienne, unaware that she has left to kill stannis. when help does not come, sansa attempts to return to her room but is caught by ramsay's paramour myranda, who threatens to mutilate sansa. finally snapping, theon throws myranda to her death, just as the bolton forces return. fearful of ramsay's reaction, theon and sansa jump from winterfell's battlements into the snow.
sansa stark
bullet::::- olenna tyrell (seasons 3–7) portrayed by diana rigg. lady olenna, better known as "the queen of thorns", is the sharp-witted grandmother of loras and margaery. considered tywin lannister's female counterpart, olenna is a matriarch and the real power behind house tyrell. she has very progressive views where she feels women should be more involved in politics and is accepting of loras' homosexuality where the people of reach have no problems with it. after asking sansa directly what joffrey is like, and believing sansa that joffrey is an abusive "monster", olenna decides to protect both margaery and sansa. to prevent the other nobles from using her as heir of the north, olenna secretly plots to have sansa marry loras. but her plan is foiled by loras himself, who accidentally reveals it to littlefinger's male spy in the brothel, who reports to tywin lannister. tywin forces sansa marry his son tyrion and, to secure the reach, orders cersei to marry loras. lady olenna is at first against loras marrying cersei because she says cersei is too old, and because of the scandal of cersei's incestuous affair with her twin brother, jaime. tywin threatens to make loras join the celibate kingsguard, which would make joffrey and margaery's children the heirs of the reach. olenna admits defeat and praises tywin for outwitting her. in season 4, olenna conspires with petyr baelish to have joffrey poisoned, to protect margaery from joffrey's beastly nature, and advises margaery to become acquainted with her new match, tommen baratheon, joffrey's malleable, much younger brother and heir. she returns to highgarden shortly afterwards. when loras is arrested by the recently reinstated faith militant for his homosexuality, margaery writes to her grandmother who returns to the capital in order to protect her grandchildren from cersei's schemes. but, mistakenly believing loras's arrest was simply meant to humiliate house tyrell, she helplessly assists olyvar's testimony which incriminates her grandson, as well as to margaery's incarceration for perjuring herself in front of the gods (in an effort to protect her brother). olenna later confronts the high sparrow without results and has a secret meeting with littlefinger who, blackmailed by olenna for his part in joffrey's death, and in order to placate his role in her grandchildren's imprisonment in providing olyvar to cersei, gives valuable information about lancel and cersei's adulterous relationship. this results in the arrest of cersei by the faith militant. in the sixth season, olenna takes steps to free margaery from the high sparrow and retake power from the faith militant, but the plan is thwarted when tommen forges an alliance with the faith and becomes the high sparrow's new puppet. margaery feigns loyalty to the faith and manages to instruct olenna to leave the city when the high sparrow threatens her life. after hearing of the great sept of baelor's destruction, which killed mace, loras and margaery, olenna vows revenge. she accepts an invitation to dorne by ellaria sand, who reveals that she has followed yara greyjoy in declaring for daenerys targaryen. seeking vengeance against cersei for her slain family, olenna pledges the tyrell forces to daenerys as well. when the lannisters, supported by the turncoat tarly forces formerly loyal to the tyrells, attack highgarden, they win with ease. jamie lannister finds olenna in her tower, ready to be taken captive or killed. jamie tells olenna that cersei had dreamed up horrible deaths for her but that he had persuaded his sister to let him offer olenna poison instead. after drinking the poison olenna confesses proudly to joffrey's murder.
