Game of Thrones' Sophie Turner has already warned fans that they're not going to like Sansa Stark this season, and after her latest comments, we can totally see why.

Appearing at San Diego Comic-Con over the weekend, Sophie Turner admitted that Sansa has been "silently absoring and learning" from every terrible person she's encountered.

And there have been a lot of terrible people in her life, let's face it.

One of those people is (sadly) still around – but don't think that Sansa is going to be catering to Littlefinger's every whim any time soon. In fact, it might just be the other way around.

"As Sansa has grown and been a prisoner by all of these master manipulators, especially Littlefinger, she's been silently absorbing and learning and adapting," she told fans.

"In my opinion, she's just as good at playing the game as he is at this point."

In other, mildly disappointing news, Sophie also admitted that Sansa doesn't really trust anyone anymore. Not even 'family members'. (Sorry, Jon.)

Saying that Sansa sees "the reality of the situation," she added: "I think she sees the world in a different light... She's woke now, she's real woke.

"She's cautious, she trusts no-one – whether it be man or woman, whether it's family member or not."

And if that doesn't convince you of Sansa's transformation then perhaps this little one-liner will...

"[Sansa] trusts no-one," Sophie teased. "I think that's important when you play the game of thrones."

Those similarities between Sansa and Cersei are increasing by the day, aren't they?

Game of Thrones airs on HBO in the US and on Sky Atlantic and NOW TV in the UK. Watch the teaser for episode 3, 'The Queen's Justice', below:
