Sophie Turner, the actress that portrays Sansa in HBO’s Game of Thrones, has hinted that her character will develop a more action-oriented role in the show’s final season.
In a video interview with Gold Derby, Turner suggested that she has always seen Sansa as a warrior and that Season 8 shows this properly manifesting itself.
“I always saw something of a warrior in Sansa that I don’t think other people really saw,” Turner said. “I always had the feeling that she was learning and adapting, and at some point or another, it was going to manifest itself somehow, and she manifested it into being a warrior. It felt really satisfying when it happened, and I’m really happy where this storyline for her has ended up.”
