Sansa Stark is one of the most badass characters in "Game of Thrones," and yet she's still totally underrated. Most people only see her as a whiny brat or only begin to like her at the end of season seven when she saves Jon in the final battle with Ramsey, but in truth Sansa Stark was a powerful character and woman from the start. She's relatable and stays strong through her struggles, and becomes a huge player in the game of thrones. Sansa is the ultimate female role model, and here's why:

1. Her character develops more than anyone else in the series-- she goes from kind and gentle to a major player in the game of thrones.

2. Despite all the hardships she’s been through, she still shows kindness towards people.

3. She values her friendships...

4. But she knows the only person she can really trust is herself.

5. She stands up to Joffrey, her abuser, even when no one else will.

6. She knows how to manipulate people, and she does it well.

7. Sansa Stark is a victim of rape, physical and mental abuse but she never becomes the victim. She only gets stronger.

8. She never stops fighting back, and no matter how many times she gets beaten down she always gets back up.

9. She doesn’t take shit from anyone:

10. She always remembers her home and her family, and uses them as her strength.

11. She learns from her mistakes and ultimately learns to trust and rely on herself instead of

others.

12. She saves everyones life in the Battle of the Bastards, but doesn’t ask for any credit.

13. She is the true Queen of the North and someday she will have her crown.
