Game of Thrones Showrunners Discuss Which Character Has Changed The Most

David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have a good choice for which character in Game of Thrones has changed the most from start to finish. Speaking with EW, the showrunners discussed how Sansa is, in their eyes, the character who has had the biggest transformational arc in the series.

“She started out so naive and was forced to undergo the most brutal possible education into the world but emerged from it and became this powerful figure and kind of against all odds. I don’t think too many people watching the first season had any expectation that Sansa would become the woman that she became,” David Benioff said, crediting Sophie Turner and “the phenom she turned out to be as an actress.”

Weiss told the site that he agrees with Benioff about Sansa, noting that Bran Stark’s transformation from young castle-climber to Three-Eyed Raven was also a fairly momumental change.

The show returns for the second of its final six episodes on Sunday.
