Game of Thrones: Sophie Turner slips into armor in Season Eight

That in the final “GoT” -Staffel pending a great battle, not surprising. Probably, that Sansa Stark also works in armor.

Sophie Turner (23) alias Sansa Stark had to spend long stretches of the hit series “Game of Thrones” in the victim role. But this is final in the final season apparently final: As the actress has betrayed the US side “Entertainment Weekly , her character in the fight against the White Wanderer, apparently, even on the front stand: “It’s the first time that I wearing armor, “Turner said of her character in the last six episodes of the HBO series.

A heavy metal armor, such as the toughe Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie) wears, but it will not be. “I wanted her to wear more armor and look a bit more like a warrior,” says Turner. After all, her character is now the “warrior of Winterfell”.

No sacrificial lamb anymore

Probably no character in the series has undergone such a change, as is the case with Sansa Stark . At the beginning, she was still the naive prince sweetheart, who resounds the disgust of Joffrey Baratheon (Jack Gleeson). Later, she was first married to the good-natured Tyrion Lennister (Peter Dinklage), but later with the monster Ramsay Bolton (Ivan Rheon).

In the meantime, she has her trousers back in her native Winterfell – and apparently also a battle armor. It will see the fates of War Princess Sansa, Jon Snow (Kit Harington), Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) and Co. from 14 April 2019.
