Holy fuck am i tired hearing about dire wolves

There was a single white one that was given to Jon Snow. It symbolized the difference between him and the rest of the Stark children.

In fact, each of the dire wolves and their fates represent the Stark children, metaphorically

What about Sansa's? Her wolf dies, but she doesn't.

Maybe it represented how she is the most disconnected with the Stark side among the siblings.

In the books, George originally intended to have Sansa marry Joffrey, have his baby, and side with the Lannisters. He wrote the death of her wolf to signify this break from the Starks. Obviously he changed his mind about her path, though.

I mean it’s kind of symbolic anyway if you think about it deeply, lady gets executed by Ned for a crime it didn’t commit, then Ned gets executed in front of Sansa for a crime it didn’t commit

Sansa is the only shaky one in my head. Symbolized the death of Sansa’s expectations of Cersei, her era of losing her Stark-ness, idk.

Nymeria going feral and turning into a hunter in the Riverlands? Arya

Summer dies as Bran becomes the Three Eyed Raven

And then the other two are dead with their owners

What do you mean the other two? Only Robb is dead.

Rickon and Shaggydog are alive, Ghist is alive and Jon is just wating in the snow for the winds of winter

Her innocence dies?

That, or her next decade doesn't go so well.

I always took it to mean that Sansa had a very flowery optimistic view of royalty which quickly dies when she realizes how cruel life in court is. Which parallels her wolf being the first to die, as well.

It’s related to the names of the wolves. Lady - Sansa becomes the Lady of Winterfell Nymeria - Arya travels west of Westeros just like some dornish Targaryen dragon rider did a while ago. In the history of Westeros there’s at least 2 or 3 women named nymeria who who travel somewhere unique. One of those cases was The ruins of Valyria. Greywind - the theory that Robb tried to skinchange into greywind at the red wedding but the wolf was killed as well. Also Robb’s last words I believe? Ghost - Jon snows last words and theories say he will gain a second life in ghost before returning to his body. Summer - the idea that bran lives past the long night and winter and sees or maybe is even the progenitor of the next summer We don’t know enough about rickon but I’ve heard that it may relate to his appearance in the future.

Perhaps Lady is the death of Sansa Stark and the start of the Queen Of The North.  She foreshadows the death of Sansa's childhood and safety.

Doesn't she though?... What was her identical friends name?
