One of Game of Thrones’ power players since the very beginning of the show, Littlefinger lurked quietly in the shadows, pulled the strings on his many unwitting puppets, and sowed, watered and nurtured the seeds of dissent. He openly admitted that he wanted “everything” and was desperate for power, yet he insisted that he felt nothing but love for Sansa.

He helped her to escape from King’s Landing after Joffrey’s murder, and he restored her to her family seat in Winterfell. He rescued her from her murderous Aunt Lysa, and came to her aid in the Battle of the Bastards.

Yet, despite all of this, Littlefinger is undoubtedly Sansa’s abuser. He kissed her without her consent, which triggered a jealous and mentally unstable Lysa to attack her own niece. He monitors her at all times. He drove a wedge between her and those who love her most (Jon Snow, Brienne of Tarth and Arya Stark), in order to isolate her and render her completely dependent upon his friendship.

And, above all else, he was the one who forced her into marrying Ramsay Bolton – a man renowned for his viciousness, cruelty and sadistic nature.
