Seriously, I don’t understand where all the hate comes from on both parts. I love Arya because she’s tough and does stuff her way, but I love Sansa because she learns to play the game and that takes a lot of brains. Arya is the brawn and Sansa is the brain. It’s like two sides of the same coin. I feel like it’s impossible to have one without the other. So what if Arya is cruel...
