A blog dedicated to the story of Game Of Thrones character Sansa Stark and her facial expressions.
In every scene of every episode that Sansa is present in, she manages to provide us with a huge variety of facial expressions that tell us so much about what she is going through at the time. For example, in season 1, episode 1, Sansa is talking with Cersei about the upcoming royal wedding when Joffrey comes along. When Cersei notices him, she gives Sansa a look that tells her to leave; this is where I think we get our first glimpse into Sansa’s mind, because even though it was barely noticeable, her facial expression changed from excitement to anger as Cersei looked at her. This shows how powerful and manipulative Cersei can be which we learn more about as the series progresses.
Sansa Stark is one of the main characters on HBO’s hit series Game of Thrones. Everyone who watches the show knows that Sansa is a survivor, but in order to survive she has to be able to play the game. The game I am talking about is Facial Expressions; playing off of emotions and reading other people.
Sansa has arguably been through more than any other character. She went from a naïve girl to a cold calculating woman, who will do anything to protect those she loves. This blog is dedicated to showing how Sansa has evolved from season 1 to season 5 and how her facial expressions have gotten her where she is today.
This blog will contain spoilers from all seasons, so if you haven’t watched them go watch them, because they are awesome!
Sansa Stark, the eldest daughter of Eddard Stark, was played by Sophie Turner in the HBO series Game of Thrones. Her character is based off of the novel A Song of Ice and Fire written by George R.R. Martin. Sansa has grown to be one of the most beloved characters on the show, due to her growth as a character and her resilience.
Throughout the seasons, Sansa has often been called an “unlikable” character. However, that all changed during season seven, when viewers saw her take back Winterfell from Littlefinger with a little help from Arya Stark and Bran Stark. However, due to Sophie Turner’s stellar performance and immense facial expressions throughout the years, we have continued to love the character despite some questionable choices made in her past. We have been able to really feel for Sansa throughout her journey; we cried when she cried, we felt relieved when she felt relieved, and we were heartbroken when she was heartbroken.
From season one through season seven, Turner has portrayed a wide variety of emotions through only facial expressions—and they are so impressive that they deserve their own article! Here are some examples:
It’s hard to think about the final season of “Game of Thrones” without getting emotional. The HBO fantasy epic, which had its highly anticipated premiere last night, has been a cultural touchstone for nearly a decade.
For many fans, the show is notable for how gruesomely it treats its characters. But one character, Sansa Stark, seems to have gotten the worst of it. From being forced into marriage with the sadistic Ramsay Bolton to watching her own father beheaded in front of her, Sansa has suffered greatly throughout the series.
There are plenty of ways that you could measure Sansa’s pain — but her face has become a kind of shorthand for it. In fact, some fans have been using Twitter to rank just how upset she looks in each episode. Here are a few examples:
Sansa has always been an interesting character — especially for people who aren’t usually interested in fantasy shows and movies. Unlike many other female characters on “Game of Thrones,” she isn’t sexualized or objectified by the show’s creators; instead, she wears practical clothing and is often covered up in layers of armor. (Of course, this doesn’t mean she
From the very beginning, Sansa Stark has been a character who’s had to act. She was the daughter of a family that was well versed in the political games of Westeros, and she was the heir to one of the biggest houses in all of Seven Kingdoms. From the moment she was born, she had to put on a face for everyone else.
But her acting wasn’t always out of necessity. There were times—in her youth—where it was for fun and games. She loved talking about clothes and gossiping with girls her age. She loved playing with dolls and looking at pretty things and imagining what her wedding day would be like. The way that Sansa imagined her wedding day has changed dramatically over the years. But as a young girl, it was just another lovely thing to look forward to.
In many ways, Sansa Stark is an actor playing multiple roles:**
I don’t really like Game of Thrones. I know it’s a great show, but the immorality of the characters just makes my stomach turn. But there is one character that I absolutely adore: Sansa Stark.
Sansa is a heroine in my eyes because she is constantly put in life threatening situations, and she never gives up hope. She remains strong throughout the show, and always has a smile on her face, even when she knows that something bad is going to happen.
I think this is because of Sophie Turner’s amazing acting skills. Sophie Turner plays Sansa Stark and she does an amazing job at portraying her character’s emotions through facial expressions.
In the GIF below (from season 5 episode 8), you can see how she portrays happiness, surprise, sadness and anger all within a couple of seconds.
