[Deleted] Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Who is she? She obviously is someone with strong Northern ties, and she keeps dropping hints like "The North remembers." and "You still have friends in the North, Lady Sansa." But I haven't made the connection to who she actually is or why she's in Winterfell. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsay's Penguins Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Just a worker, but obviously she has worked there for a while. A combo of Lady Dustin and potentially even Old Nan. Since in the show the Northern lords are scared of the Boltons, Sansa is going to have to get the commoners support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Spanish_Inquisition Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I have wondered this myself. If she had worked at Winterfell for any length of time, you'd expect Sansa to recognize her. So either she's from the area around Winterfell and Sansa doesn't know her, or... she came with the Boltons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scabbard Of the Morning Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 She is one of the washer women I gather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takyon Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 So either she's from the area around Winterfell and Sansa doesn't know her, or... she came with the Boltons. That's the feeling that I got. The setup for the tower and the candle seemed a little too clean, and it's sort of suspicious that both she and Ramsay said "the North remembers".

Shpati Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Yea, I think it might be one of the Bolton's ploys. They are just messing with Sansa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandonStark's bastard Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I am assuming Barbrey Dustin. But then again isn't she too old to be her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primalsplit Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Yea, I think it might be one of the Bolton's ploys. They are just messing with Sansa. Holy shit I didn't think of that before! A cruel trap might be awaiting for Sansa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neds Secret Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Who is she? She obviously is someone with strong Northern ties, and she keeps dropping hints like "The North remembers." and "You still have friends in the North, Lady Sansa." But I haven't made the connection to who she actually is or why she's in Winterfell. Thoughts? I think she could possibly be a spy for Ramsay! He likes to set people up like he did when he had Theon captive and he set him free claiming to be representing Theons sister. If Sansa lights the candle then Ramsay is aware that Sansa is unhappy, and Ramsay would become aware of Sansa's discontedness, or she could be another agent of littlefingers like Ser Dontos turned out to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian stark Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 hmm... I don't think it is the boltons? or am I just hoping lol? I think the people have started talking because of briane talking to the inn keeper outside winterfell... I think it's genuinely the north are loyal to the Starks throughout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamCrow Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 My take on it is that initially she just wanted Sansa to know she has friends within Winterfell, then the old guy Brienne spoke to at the Inn used her to pass on the message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolan Clegane Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Both "the North remembering and being Stark supporters" and "Ramsay setting Sansa up" are leading candidates to me. I tend to lean towards him setting her up, but this new shrewd and cautious Sands does not fall for such ploys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shitmouth the Wise Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 She could be with the Boltons, and the old man could be a Frey. His hood thing looks like Frey garb. Could be a trap for both Sansa and Brienne. My first thought was that the old man could be Howland Reed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Green Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I am assuming Barbrey Dustin. But then again isn't she too old to be her. The Lady of Barrowton wouldn't be acting as Sansa's laundry maid. She's a peasant woman. Whether she's a Stark loyalist or a Bolton ploy remains to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Osis Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I have wondered this myself. If she had worked at Winterfell for any length of time, you'd expect Sansa to recognize her. So either she's from the area around Winterfell and Sansa doesn't know her, or... she came with the Boltons. I wouldn't. Sansa is the daughter of the lord of Winterfell. Lords and Ladies are not often acquainted with all of their household servants. Low level workers would get their marching orders from supervisors, whom the masters of the house would know. Sansa likely would have been familiar with her Handmaidens, but not many other servants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Direwight Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 What makes much less sense to me is the old guy Brienne talked with. If he had actually lived there for long, then he would have been killed when Ramsay torched Winterfell, as obviously they would have eliminated any nearby witnesses. The old lady could just be a nobody peasant, but for the same reason she can't be someone who has just happened to always live there. Of course in theory he could have managed to hide or conveniently been somewhere else when it all happened, but that'd be rather contrived if it was never explained.

jet199 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Oh why did I read this thread. Now I have the image of Sansa running up the stairs in that tower as her last hope and finding a room of flayed corpses at the top. I wouldn't put it past D&D to do a repeat of Theon's torment with extra Bluebeard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodor knows Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 It would be fun if she was just another of Ramsey's dogs. That might confuse people though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFP Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I don't like the idea that she wouldn't be genuine. In the show, was winterfell populated before the boltons showed up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
