Dacey’s whispers were a mix between praying to the Gods and cursing them in equal measure. Who in the hell made the rule that black tie meant heels anyways? “Hey, you!” she hissed at Sansa after spotting her only a few feet away. “I thought you said these were comfortable!” Her tone was accusatory, feeling betrayed by her fashionista of a friend. Dacey had been able to weasel her way out of wearing a dress and into a svelte, black suit, but hadn’t been able to escape the death contraption that were heels. “You either need to get me drunk enough that I don’t care anymore of kill me right now. As a friend you owe me that much.”
“ dacey, i - ” blinking wildly as the other approaches her, sansa’s nose wrinkles before a giggle squeaks out between red stained lips. “ they’re not even that bad! ” and really, one glance down at the heels adorning her own outfit shows that she’d at least tried to take dacey’s inexperience with heels into consideration. gentle hand extended out to rest on her forearm - a steadying measure for the woman who’d done far more for sansa than she could ever repay her for. “ c’mon, i’ll get you however many drinks you want. ” she figures it is the least she can do, to help ease the strain and make sure she’s actually enjoying herself. “ you like the suit though, right? ” an easier question as she latches onto dacey’s wrist and tugs her in the direction of the bar.

She often thought that she’d done more than her fair share of schmoozing over the years and was always so reluctant to still do it time and time again. If the evening had simply been for the families then she would have easily dropped her act but the public being present did make it all somewhat trickier. For the most part she’d been successful in dodging those that she really didn’t want to engage with but finally her gaze fell on someone that she did want to speak to. “Sansa.” The warmth that filled her tone had always been reserved solely for her children and she’d never had any issue in making her fondness known. “I know it’s for charity but don’t go gambling all your hard earned money away.” She was teasing really, hoping that her daughter would be sensible enough while also being sure that she was. But she couldn't help but be suspicious about the evening when the whole idea seemed too good to be true.
@satinwulf
admittedly, she doesn’t really want to be here. would much rather to have spent yet another night curled up in bed as opposed to mingling - but it was for charity, and margaery, and really, could she have truly passed up the opportunity to slip into one of the few designs she’d held onto for herself? fingertips wrapped daintily around the stem of her champagne glass, absentminded and only nodding to the voices bubbling around her, sansa doesn’t come to until her mother’s gentility floats through the void. “ mom. ” a wide, warm red smile stretches across her features and is subsequently followed by a smattering of laughter. “ right, because i’m the child you should be lecturing about sensibility. ” once upon a time, maybe - just maybe, but with the rest of the stark brood bound to be out and about tonight, sansa was fairly certain she should be the least of catelyn’s worries. “ i promise not to do too much damage to my bank account - i wasn’t really planning to stay long anyways. ”

OPEN
a trail of cigar smoke escapes from the seal of her lips as she holds the vintage cuban in her lungs a little longer. it’s smooth going in but prickles at the edges of her chest, settling in like a temperamental beast laid to rest. she exhales and watches as the puff dissipates into the evening, the smell of it fragrant but not too strong on the open balcony she had gone off to. olenna raises a glass of cognac to her lips, stopping midway when she sees movement out of the corner of her eye. ‘ if you’re trying to sneak around me, think again, ’ she says. ‘ i may be old but i’m still of perfect health — vision and all. ’
it hadn’t been so much sneaking as it was careful avoidance - or so sansa’d thought as she had attempted to skirt wide around where olenna had been enjoying her time on the balcony. but flowing black lace had a way of catching eyes, glitter sparking recognition when the light hit it just right. startled into a halt, wide brown eyes settle carefully onto the older woman’s frame. “ would you believe me if i said i had only been trying to not disturb you? you looked rather involved. ” and smoke latches to fabric like a magnet to a fridge. and olenna has always been terrifying. “ besides, i doubt you’d want my company anyways. i’m not very exciting. ”

location: the satin wolf, neutral territory. when: mid - evening. status: open.
some things simply had to be done on your own. it isn’t that sansa doesn’t trust her myriad of employees, she’d not have hired them if she hadn’t thought them capable of doing what needed to be done . . . but the overwhelming insistence that things needed to be placed just right - done just so, meant that she at least thought a quick overview was in order. not to mention the new pieces that needed to be delivered and priced; hung up and displayed, styled in ways that brought interest instead of disgust. that is what drives her to come in tonight, after the boutique’s closed for the evening and attention is few and far between. because no one’s interested in clothes when a thriving nightlife has more to offer a few blocks over.
the jingle of the bell above the door sends a shiver down her spine, hands freezing their work almost immediately as a low grumble emits from the large dog at her heels. it’s her own fault - sansa’d had her hands full earlier, between boleyn’s leash and the garment bags of new designs, locking the door behind her had been her intention but . . . it was too late for that now. “ sorry, we’re closed. ” gentle, hint of a tremor as she hangs one last dress then reaches down to slip long fingers into boleyn’s collar before she finally lifts her gaze to the intruder. trespasser. the words don’t matter so much as the intent, but even still sansa’s struggling to hold her own ground. “ that’s what the closed sign means, in case you didn’t know. ”

sleeping habits: sansa has always been a heavy, deep sleeper, even as a child. she can fall asleep in the blink of an eye, and be out for hours without even a hint of discomfort. she used to be the person who was up all night, and tended to sleep all day - now she’s asleep by 8:30pm most nights and up by 7:00am.
living space && home: a high rise loft apartment, kept impeccably clean and decorated in a modern contemporary style, with many hues of gray and light pastels.
all the king’s horses and all the king’s men couldn’t put me together again, ‘cause all of my enemies started out friends.
sansa attended king’s way college and graduated with a bachelor’s degree of fine arts, having majored in fashion design. her graduation present was the satin wolf, a boutique of her own to showcase her designs. it is located in neutral territory, and operated by staff hand selected by sansa herself.
the death of hoster tully was a sad affair for her, and yet, sansa’s grief was also met with a sense of relief. that with her grandfather no longer pulling strings, the pressure of being brought into a life she did not want might wain.
it is her intent to never become involved further than she is currently with any of the syndicates, even her own family’s.
dancing under lights since she was seventeen. her brain’s flooded with ketamine, high from every party, low from self - esteem; it’s selfish but she never sleep. honestly, she needs a little sympathy.
the socialite daughter, beautiful and charming, always interested in the next party - the next event. sansa had a penchant for attention, late nights spent out drinking and dancing even when she less than legal; it made her feel happy, feel free. it was a way to forget that things could be dark and grim - to forget that her parents, her siblings, nearly everyone she knew was involved in a lifestyle that made her stomach curl. so she danced and partied, smiled wide for pictures, found a boyfriend that enjoyed the same things she did - one who wasn’t interested in what her family’s name could do for him . . . or so she thought. when he asked her to marry him, she cried tears of joy, and things were perfect. just like they always were for sansa.
until one night a few months ago, when she and her fiance were leaving a club - drunk and stumbling, clinging to his arm with practiced ease . . . when two rough hands that weren’t his pulled her away. into a darkened alley, where accomplices met and held her at knife-point. they wanted to know about her father. her uncles. her mother, aunts, grandfather. stark plans, stark anything - gravely voices that wondered how many pretty pennies they could get if they just took her off the streets now. held her until they paid, and maybe they’d just kill her anyways. the rough brick of the building at her back digs into unmarred skin, leaving it scratched and red - prick of a blade just centimetres away from the flesh of her neck, threatening to cut it open and leave her bloody.
she can’t figure out where he is, the man who’s supposed to love her - seemingly vanished into thin air the minute things had turned sour. sansa is convinced of the worst, mascara tears trailing down her cheeks, because this must be it. the end of it all.
reprieve is the sight of one man, then two, crumpling to the ground. a familiar face appearing in the dimly lit alley as the knife at her throat clatters to the ground and her freedom is given. alive but shaken, sansa hasn’t been the same since.
i used to be a darling starlet like a centerpiece. had the whole world wrapped around my ring. i flew too closely to the sun that’s setting in the east, and now i’m melting from my wings.
returning to a normal life post incident - post trauma - has been easier said than done. now reclusive in nature, stowing herself away for days in her high rise loft apartment, sightings of the eldest stark daughter are said to be few and far between. she no longer frequents her own boutique, working instead from home and through various intermediates to ensure everything is well controlled; sansa only appears when it’s absolutely necessary, when business requires a gentle, steady hand and cannot be managed from afar.
custom designs are still available, but often very hard to come by. sansa is incredibly selective with who she’ll meet in person with, and thus, only those who can guarantee her trust have been able to get them.
sansa does, however, outfit most of the stark syndicate in gear that is both fashionable and functional. including safety measures & fabric a little more durable than most. this is generally the extent of what she’s willing to do for the syndicate, the idea of being involved in violence is absolutely terrifying to her, especially after everything she went through without even being more than a child of known members.
she still is unaware of her ex-fiance’s involvement in the attempted abduction - if he was working along with the men, or if he was just cowardly enough, uncaring enough to have let her be pulled from his arms. she hasn’t spoken to him much, outside of ending their relationship as a whole, the truth isn’t worth the extra pain it may cause, or so she’s convinced herself for now.
wanted connections !! i may send some of these into the main after a bit if they aren’t filled just because i’m #needy.
judas . . . this would be sansa’s ex - fiance! i did write it off a tweaked and modernized version of her relationship with joffrey but it definitely doesn’t have to be him. their relationship was seemingly picture perfect - and likely too good to be true. they were frequent party and club attendees together, and truly, was based off of the fact that being together was akin to the high that came with endless drinks and fun. ideally, he would have just been using sansa to hopefully siphon information or even to gain an in to the stark family - the possibilities are endless and i’m ?? here for them? sansa romanticized the fuck out of him and their relationship, ignoring any and all warning signs until things went bad the night of the after club incident. essentially she’s ghosted him, aside from mailing back his ring and a letter telling him it was, in very few words, over. the finer details are very much so up for discussion and interpretation so y’know, run wild.
white horse . . . whomever saved sansa from the alley - no gender requirements because we love equal opportunity ass kickers in this house. they had at the very least an acquaintanceship with sansa in the past and after their act of heroism, sansa’s sort of attached herself to them in a very idealized way? not necessarily romantically but very clingy, she doesn’t want to be a burden but also it’s very hard for her to not instinctively shift into thinking of them as her protector and she just needs and wants to feel safe . . . all of the time. taken by dacey mormont.
pink pony club . . . sansa’s #squad. their relationship(s) may be slightly strained from sansa shifting into recluse mode, but ultimately they would be the people she spent the most time with previously. dancing, studying, coffee dates, all of the close friend things. bonus points for friendships from childhood to now, because we all need the montage of childhood sleepovers to sansa showing up at their house at 6:00 in the morning because she can’t sleep and she brought coffee, also do they have time to talk about how she can’t stop shaking and she just needs a hug.
also if you’ve made it this far, ‘sup i’m mowgli and i told myself i wasn’t allowed to join the discord until i finished my intro because i have the attention span of a goldfish and it still took me all day ?? anyways, i’m gonna be sneaking myself on in there soon but y’all can feel free to also just add me @ mohglee#0602 ty ty <3
