^^^ This is one of the reasons I fell in love with Sansa Stark. This girl, no more then a teenager. Stuck her neck out to save a strangers life. She risked her own personal safety telling Joffrey, a psychopath she knows has a short temper, “You can’t!” Not just speaking up against him, but telling him that he cannot do something.

And then comes up with an excuse as to why he can’t, right off the spot. She gets lucky, and Sandor Clegane backs the excuse up. But she doesn’t stop there. She continues to weave her manipulation of him after Joffrey announces he will have Ser Dontos killed the next day. She is clever enough to come up with a lie that will stroke Joffrey’s ego and convince him not to murder Ser Dontos.

Sansa didn’t have to do this. She already stopped them from killing Dontos right there. But she wanted to make sure he was safe even after that.

What’s even more amazing about this scene, it shows how Sansa is very brave in the earlier seasons. More then some fans like to acknowledge. She’s 14 here.

And yet we have a reminder that this young girl, was able to do something not a single grown man, out of 500 of them, were able to do. Nor any of the “greatest” Knights in the Seven Kingdoms were able to do either.

Sansa Stark didn’t just stand there and watch, she spoke up because it was wrong. Even if it was a dangerous thing to do. She had nearly the same obstacle against her, a deranged and insane King who was taking pleasure in this atrocity. One who could murder you at any time. And still, still she was brave.

And even after! Afterwards when Ser Dontos comes and gives her the poisoned necklace, he thanks her for this act. But she doesn’t even think twice about it! It wasn’t some big moment to her where she was so kind and merciful, this girl then tells him “Anyone would have done the same.” But we know that isn’t true! She doesn’t think this act is anything more then what’s extremely brave!

Not many would just speak up and try to help. It takes someone brave, it takes someone honorable, it takes someone who’s selfless, it takes someone caring. it took Sansa Stark.
