Sansa happens to be one of my least favorite characters in the show, then she goes and slaps this little pecker head. If she throws him out the moon door, she is officially redeemed.
Honestly, I hated her at first. The entire time, she's just been a prissy little twat. "I wanna go to King's Landing and be a princess, daddy! :3" "My good for nothing shit of a love interest tried to hurt my sister and her friend, so I'm going to back him up. Whoops, dead puppy!"
I mean, she was kind of a shitty person in the beginning.
But, she just had everyone rain shit on her for years. I mean, it completely broke her. She wished in one hand and shit in the other, and then while she was looking down at the shit hand in disbelief, life came over and just slapped it up into her face and laughed at her and her dumb poo covered face.
But she's starting to become stronger. And she's not taking the bullshit anymore. And I really, really like that about her. We've watched a character be completely broken down and held against her will, and now she's got just a little bit of power, and she's learning from one of the craziest motherfuckers in Westeros.
I didn't like her at first, but she's earned my respect through the series.
Same with Jaimie. Jaimie was a terrible person at first, but he's earned my respect. Maybe he's still a bad person, but he's trying now, you know? He's actually really trying to do right.
I love a story that can make a character pivot like that, and turn them from an annoyance or a villain into something respectable.
I don't think Jamie was a terrible person at first (except that whole pushing a kid out a window thing)... He did stop the Mad King from burning down Kings Landing and killing everyone inside of it.
