Steely Sansa’s GoT threat: ‘She will do anything to get what she wants’

JON Snow may be King of the North as Game of Thrones starts a tumultuous news season, but does the steely Sansa Stark at his side now resent him?

SPOILERS FOR SEASONS 1-6

JON Snow is no stranger to threats, but as season seven of Game of Thrones looms, the sharpest steel may be standing right by the new King of the North’s side.

Jon had a long-awaited reunion with Sansa Stark — the woman raised as his sister — in one of the few happy moments of last season.

But the actor who plays Sansa, Sophie Turner, has warned Sansa will go “even darker” this season, and covets the crown for herself.

Sansa is “out for herself” and unwilling to take a back seat to Jon, Turner told Foxtel Magazine.

Unacknowledged as the true Queen of the North, she’s starting to resent Jon — she wants recognition, badly, and will stop at nothing to get it.

“She is very strong and steely this season. She is less sympathetic toward people. She’s kind of in it for herself and will do anything to get what she wants,” Turner said.

“Whether that means going even darker, you’ll have to see.”

Given that Sansa watched with pleasure as her evil husband Ramsay Bolton was eaten alive by his killer dogs last season, Jon might be best advised to keep his sister on side.

Turner said Sansa is “conflicted” in her loyalty to Jon.

“She definitely feels left out. There’s a jealousy there,” Turner said. “She feels she deserves the title of Queen in the North and it’s an injustice that she hasn’t been recognised for what she did.

“Not only are the Northerners in general not backing her, but neither is Jon. I think if Jon was appreciative and spoke to her about it then she wouldn’t have a problem with all the Northern Lords not bowing down to her.

“All she wants is the respect of her brother.

“She will keep on fighting and not let patriarchy or anything like that stand in her way.”

Another firm believer in women ruling the world — and she’s got the dragons to prove it — is Emilia Clarke’s Daenerys, also on a collision course with Jon.

She wants the Iron Throne. So does he. The Mother of Dragons and Jon might have to join forces to oust its current occupier, Cersei (Lena Headey) who has the throne, but not much else, having lost all her children and casually spilt a lot of blood to gain it.

Clarke said she’ll be disappointed if Daenerys doesn’t end up as Queen.

“Yes, definitely,” she told the magazine. “But it’s been lovely and fulfilling to play one of many strong, powerful women in the show. It’s a woman’s world now.”
