Game of Thrones’ Sophie Turner teases a darker Sansa in Season 7

Sansa Stark has seen quite the change as a character and while doing a promo for the Blu-Ray release of Game of Thrones season 6 actress Sophie Turner also took the time to tease fans of the show about Sansa's upcoming change.

Beware of some spoilers for season 6 of Game of Thrones.

You have been warned

While speaking with The Express Turner gave her two bits, or maybe more than just two bits, on the latest season finale "at the end of the season Sansa gets a taste of power – and it's the first time that she's had that ever, really." Besides the whole war thing, Sansa also got a taste of blood and power on a personal level like never before when killing Ramsey in ways Turner is teasing quite heavily at.

"There's the smile, her walking away after killing Ramsay. That's quite interesting. You wonder if it's just a smile because it's her first kill because this man is out of her life, or whether she's going to get a taste for it. Whether she enjoyed it. Whether it's a power trip. But she definitely is a lot more powerful, and it'll be very interesting to see how she handles that coming up this season."

Additionally, her increasing thirst and taste for power came after "she did so much for Jon and the North". But Sansa never got more than a little taste of it, or as Turner puts it, "[she] doesn't get any recognition for it. It was like she had that first taste of power and then was immediately stripped of it". Then in another interview with Vulture Turner added a bit more to her initial Sansa tease.

"She was trying to give her input to Jon and trying to be a collaborative leader, but it's difficult when it's a patriarchy and when there's sexism. It would be a real adjustment for Jon to listen to her and do what she says. So she was looking to Littlefinger like, oh, you're right. Maybe that pretty picture you painted of me on the throne and you by my side isn't such a bad one.

After that Turner whipped out probably the biggest and obvious hint at why Game of Thrones will see a much darker Sansa in season 7, Sansa's costume change in during the season where she changes to a darker one as a hint of her personality getting darker.

"When she changed her outfit, that was just the first hint that she was ready to start playing the game. That was a mild version of Dark Sansa, and now it's really starting to feel like there is a dark side to her. She's playing the game now, and very ruthlessly. When she wants something, she's going to go out and get it"

Game of Thrones returns with season 7 to a TV near you summer 2017, and it will probably be returning with a darker version of Sansa Stark.
