edit: mess, Sansa's character has always had depth, it's just that in the books her transition is very slow and more natural, while in the show they basically changed her personality in one episode
I dunno sis. Of the 3 books I've read thus far there's been literally zero depth to her character. At least in my opinion, anyway. She's consistently had the least interesting chapters and they've served better to develop the characters she's interacted with rather than Sansa herself

I disagree. It has seemed very natural to me. Each event has changed her in a different way and her actress and the writers are doing a great job of showing that.
But, then again, I haven't read the books so I can't really speak on how it compares to the books, but I, as a viewer, felt like her transition in the show has been handled very well.
Maybe it's just me but Sansa's chapters in the books are some of the most interesting, deep and meaningful.
Most of her thought process and inner dialogue is what gives them such richness and provides her such depth of character, more than any other POV I might say.
Her development has been a true slow burner too, she's been cooked up in Kings Landing for several books not only suffering through the beatings and the humilliations, but more importantly watching and learning to play the game -and survive in the process- through the best players. Like Tywin, Tyrion, Cersei, Olenna, Margaery and Petyr.
It's not sudden, it's been coming up since she saw her father's head on a pike along the Red Keep's wall.
UGH that episode was great. Y'all have no idea how much I love Sansa, and they did her acceleration justice here, even though I'm kind of nervous of them being pretty much at the end of her book storyline so far. And my baby Oberyn. Revenge gets 'em every time.

With the attention they've been giving her, I'm thinking she might be taking the place of another Martell that's supposed to be in King's Landing in TWOW.

finally someone who agrees with me. her chapters are the best in the books and she has a lot of depth. a girl who has had so many terrible thing happen to her, yet she has kept her humanity and her kindness. she figured out what she has to do to survive and she is doing it. her sarcastic lines she says to the Lannisters to survive, her love towards her family and her pushing herself to be as strong as her mother and brother etc. she survived on her own, without anyone helping her and she could not have done that if she wasn't strong. she is the strongest Lannister because she is smart and MENTALLY strong. Robb got himself and his mother killed because he did things without thinking them trough. Arya is like that too. Sansa isn't and that's why I'm convinced she will be a hero (and possibly queen) in the end.
I like her because she is a unique character in this kind of world. this kind of shows/movies show their strong female characters to be masculine, but Sansa uses her femininity and curteousy AS her strength. she uses it to survive and to stay sane.

That's not a spoiler, by the way.
I will be ok with that and it would make more sense than to introduce a new character. I hope they do it.

Not only is it black, signifying the death of 'Sansa Stark', but it's sprouting black feathers in its shoulders, generally the Westerosi houses dress according to their colors, Cersei with the Reds and Golds of the Lannister, Olenna and Margaery with the blues and greens with the roses embroidered, the Baratheons in Gold and Black, the Greyjoys in dark grey and deep blue, and the Starks in white and grey.
Alayne is wearing the feathers of the Eagle, the animal of House Arryn, her dress symbolizes one thing, for all intents and puposes, once Robin is shipped off, she is the Lady of the Vale of Arryn and protector of the Vale, and what she did against Petyr's wishes secured her safety, she knew as long as the Lords declarants of the Vale knew she was Sansa Stark she would be protected from Petyr and she would also be free to ploy with him at the same time playing as Alayne in disguise.
Now the Vale of Arryn is sworn to her, the cornerstone of her plan was that Lord Yohn of House Royce KNEW who she was as he visited Wintefell when she was a Little Girl, something only the REAL Sansa Stark would know, proving her name to them.
Since when is Sansa Lady of the Vale?
Isn't Petyr acting (Robin is gone) Lord of the Vale through his marriage with Lysa?

She isn't.
Petyr is the Lord Regent in the Vale of Arryn, but in the books she is the one in charge of the Eyrie, that's why I said she's the Lady of the Vale, plus there's an upcoming plot from the books that would allow her to be in power even moreso than Petyr
it was great.
