A note for CR AU applications
Ruby City does allow previous game history/CR to be brought over on a case by case basis. If you want to include this in your application please add additional sections for PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT and PREVIOUS GAME HISTORY beneath the Personality and Background/History sections.

In these additional sections we would like to see a brief outline of your character's previous game history and how it potentially impacted on and altered their canon personality.

CHARACTER
Name: Sansa Stark
Canon: A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones
Timeline: Toward the end of book three, A Storm of Swords, just before her canon escape from the city of King's Landing.
If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: N/A

Personality: When we are first introduced to Sansa in canon, in book one of the ASOIAF series, Game of Thrones, she is an eleven-year-old girl, full of idealistic dreams. (Side note, because of my show-based icon, I am playing Sansa as roughly fifteen years of age, as opposed to the thirteen or so she would be at the time I'm taking her from in the third book. This is to more closely match up to the GoT actress in my icon.) Sansa loves songs and tales about knights and princesses and her dream is to marry a golden prince like those in the tales. She thinks she has found him in Prince Joffrey, and a kind mentor in his mother, Queen Cersei.

But she is wrong. By the end of the first book, Sansa is the only member of her family in the royal palace, a hostage to be used against her brother Robb. Through the second book, she suffers abuse at the orders of the now King Joffrey, and he often orders his Kingsguard (special bodyguards) to beat her, even though she is still betrothed to him. Their betrothal is broken at the end of book two, and when book three begins, Sansa is just starting to hope that she will be free again, letting some of her previous dreamy self return as she hopes for a better husband. This too is thwarted when she is married to Joffrey's uncle Tyrion, a disfigured dwarf. Tyrion is kind in his way, but he is still a Lannister, and Sansa, grieving the brutal murders of her brother and mother, is in no mind to warm to him at all.

The Sansa who arrives in Ruby City has just escaped from Joffrey's wedding feast, where he just died. She is a young girl carrying all of the scars of what has happened in her life. She has been forced to learn, the hard way, that beauty is no indication of kindness or goodness - the only people to have shown her kindness in the Red Keep were Tyrion, Sandor Clegane aka the Hound (a brutal, horribly scarred member of the Kingsguard), and Ser Dontos (a drunk who Sansa is able to manipulate Joffrey into making a Fool instead of executing). Despite all of this, Sansa still has moments of idealistic naivete - she still wants to believe in the stories she once held so dear, and sometimes she slips back into that.

However, she is also a kind girl, who can find it in her to feel sympathy and pity even in the midst of her own suffering and even for those she mistrusts or fears. For her, Ruby City is not a prison but a refuge, an escape far from the reach of any Lannisters. She might be confused and bewildered by the city and its inhabitants, but as long as they are not prepared to hurt her, she will consider it a great improvement. She is wary of kindness now, having been fooled and tricked so often, but she still wants to believe and that might be one of her best traits. She still wants to believe that people are good and kind, like her stories. She just knows they aren't always.

First Person: [Sansa sits up and looks around the strange chamber she seems to be in, utterly confused. This doesn't look like anything in the Red Keep and that is good, but... Where is she?

She has no idea, and her confusion does not lessen when a strange force propels her from what seems to be... The best she can think of is that it's a group of horseless wheelhouses, chained together. But the surroundings outside are no less puzzling as she walks down the road, heart pounding. These buildings are not like anything she knows, this entire place seems... strange, and so quiet.]

Hello? Is anyone there?

Third Person: Sansa still didn't quite understand this 'Ruby City' or the idea of another world entirely. It had occurred to her that perhaps it wasn't another world - maybe it was a delusion, or perhaps she was even dead and this was the afterlife. Whatever it was, she would take it; even if it didn't last, it was a welcome respite from her life.

Perhaps one day someone would write a song about her strange journey.

From what she'd been able to find out, no one here had heard of her home, or knew anything about the Lannisters, the Starks, the Baratheons, anyone. She was safe here, beyond the reach of anyone who might want her.

Even the warnings about people who ruled this place and could be cruel didn't trouble her. She didn't think anything could hurt worse than what she'd already faced, even if it was technically worse. She'd already had every dream she ever had shattered, already lost her entire family - except Arya, who was missing and probably dead, but never confirmed to be, and her bastard half-brother Jon Snow. To see either one of them again...

But that wouldn't happen here, and she would have to be happy with what she did have here. Safety, at least more than she'd had until now. That was quite a lot for her these days.
