re: Crackpot ASOIAF Theories SPOILERS

She started out as a spoiled and naive "princess" type who lost her direwolf (to me that has to mean something in GRRM land - like with Robb) through pretty much her own fault and sided with Joffrey over her own family on the trip from Winterfell to King's Landing.

The direwolves definitely served as omens of what will happen to the Starks. Like the stag killing the direwolf mother foreshadowed Ned's death by Joffrey, Nymeria being run off foreshadowed Arya being separated from the Starks and being on the run, when Bran senses that Shaggy Dog was growing more distant ever day foreshadowed Rickon leaving for Skagos, and Ghost starting out being the smallest pup and growing into the biggest direwolf foreshadows Jon's rise from being a bastard to probably the most important man in Westeros.

I've always thought that Ned killing Lady foreshadowed him killing Sansa by giving her to the Lannisters. But now that she is out from under the Lannisters, maybe it's more symbolic of her innocence being "killed" by the Lannisters. A crackpot theory that I guess could happen (but I doubt it) is that it foreshadowed a Stark killing her.

ETA: Or maybe Sansa is killed in the place or because of Ayra, just like Lady was killed for Nymeria's actions.
