* The Braavos Arc A.K.A Sansa learns how to manipulate a bunch of [[MagnificentBastard Magnificent Bastards]] with courtesies and smiles. While she admits that physically she will never reach Joffrey's skills, she proves herself to be a player with the social skills she does have. Although she did hit a few stumbling blocks (that MagnificentBastard hat the Braavosi got is ''completely'' earned), she still manages to come back, re-plan and then successfully to overthrow one of the richest and most ruthless men in the Shivering Sea, while the Braavosi upper-class treat them like a couple of upstart Westerosi Barbarians. This also proves why she's considered as the other half of the Purple; while Joffrey would have simply murdered the man and started a CycleOfRevenge with the man's son and family, Sansa pulled it in such a way that the man's family would become so ruined that they become too afraid to even ''dare'' seek vengeance. Her cunning is such, both she and Joffrey earned the respect and gratitude of the Sealord himself.

* In Chapter 35, Baelish, left a NervousWreck, is desperately making plans to kill Joffrey while fleeing in his ship. Feeling thirsty, he calls for some wine, only for no one to attend to him. Cue Littlefinger discovering his entire crew slaughtered without a single alarm raised and a very pissed Joffrey ready and raring to KickTheSonOfABitch.

He does this ''again'' in Chapter 26b. After being surrounded by the White Walkers and is in the process of being stabbed in the heart, he pulls a TakingYouWithMe with a primitive bomb. It ''works''.

* Chapter 49. Mixes in with TearJerker, but Sansa earns her ActionGirl status in this chapter. First she arrests Cersei for poisoning Tyrion. Then she organizes the defenses of King's Landing in preparation for Stannis' invasion. After Ned is assassinated by Melisandre's shadow demon, an enraged Sansa rallies the panicking soldiers with a series of RousingSpeeches, leading the charge on horseback with her direwolf Lady by her side. She does quite well for herself fighting at the Mud Gate, killing several foot soldiers and knights herself with help from her friends and bodyguards. Despite suffering several wounds and losing several allies, she personally kills Stannis as the battle draws to an end, slumping against the wall with Meera Reed and watching the sun rise over the bloodied city.

* Chapter 51. Joff meets Aegon and the Golden Company on the field and pushes towards the would-be King despite the sellsword company's considerable battle prowess and rampaging elephants. Joff personally kills Aegon's two most prominent followers, Jon Connington and Ser Rolly Duckfield, while Jon finishes off a wounded war elephant. After Jon is killed by Aegon, Joff summons Brightroar to counter the Valyrian steel sword Blackfyre, amputates the usurper and lets an enraged Ghost finish him off.



* Chapter 72. When talking business with a representative from the Iron Bank, Sansa notes that the biggest issue they have is a particular House's access to Northern wares. With all the grace and simplicity she can muster, she asks the man whether the Iron Bank would be amenable to offer Westeros a better deal if that House were barred from accessing the Northern markets. The representative stops, considering how utterly, hellishly difficult it would be to stop a single merchant House from the whole North, until Sansa reminds him just how utterly colossal the Royal Navy is and how open she would be to send an Army detachment to scour the entire North's shoreline, ''just to stop that particular merchant.'' Negotiations are quite fast after that.

* Chapter 52. Joff takes down both Rhaegal and Drogon, the latter by himself. He only succumbs because Daenerys' warriors keep him unable to focus on Viserion. It's implied that had it been a fight between Joff and the dragon alone, he would have butchered the big lizard just as well.

** Joffrey does this again in chapter 52, when he takes down both Rhaegal and Drogon. It's implied he would have slaughtered Viserion too, had he not succumbed to his injuries.

* Chapter 49. Mixes in with TearJerker, but Sansa earns her ActionGirl status in this chapter. [[spoiler: First she arrests Cersei for poisoning Tyrion. Then she organizes the defenses of King's Landing in preparation for Stannis' invasion. After Ned is assassinated by Melisandre's shadow demon, an enraged Sansa rallies the panicking soldiers with a series of RousingSpeeches, leading the charge on horseback with her direwolf Lady by her side. She does quite well for herself fighting at the Mud Gate, killing several foot soldiers and knights herself with help from her friends and bodyguards. Despite suffering several wounds and losing several allies, she personally kills Stannis as the battle draws to an end, slumping against the wall with Meera Reed and watching the sun rise over the bloodied city.]]

* Chapter 47. Joff swoops into the disintegrating army and secures the loyalty of the rebelling Stormlords. To end Renly's army, he finishes off his Rainbow Guard in a brutal BattleInTheRain, first engaging the Red Knight unarmed and weighted down with several smallfolk desperately trying to keep him pinned, and then killing him anyway with the ornamental antlers of his helmet. Then, he takes on Brienne and Loras - none of which manage to last against him. Then, he publically humiliates Renly and receives a new sobriquet - ''Stormking''.
