A thread of parallels between Elia Martell and Sansa Stark:

1. Elia is the older sister to Oberyn. Sansa is the eldest stark sister.

Art by Melrosing

2. They are both described as gentle.

"Princess Elia was a good woman, Your Grace. She was kind and clever, with a gentle heart and a sweet wit.” - Daenerys

“Was there ever a wedding less joyful? she wondered until she remembered her poor Sansa and her marriage to the Imp. Mother take mercy on her. She has a gentle soul.” - Catelyn

3. Both were excited to leave their home.

"Elia found it all exciting. She was of that age, and her delicate health had never permitted her much travel.” - Tyrion

“She had last seen snow the day she'd left Winterfell… off to see the great wide world.” - Sansa

4. Both were betrothed to the crown prince.

“Early in the year 279 AC, Rhaegar Targaryen, Prince of Dragonstone, was formally betrothed to Princess Elia Martell” - TWOIAF

“She had to wed Joffrey, they were betrothed, he was promised to her, she had even dreamed about it.” - Sansa

5. Elia and Sansa were both held as hostages by Mad kings.

“The king reminded Lewyn Martell gracelessly that he held Elia and sent him to take command of the ten thousand Dornishmen coming up the kingsroad.” - Jaime

“They have Sansa hostage, and they mean to keep her." - Catelyn

6. Cersei blames them both for taking someone from her- Rhaegar and Joffrey.

“It had to have been the madness that led Aerys to refuse Lord Tywin's daughter and take his son instead, whilst marrying his own son to a feeble Dornish princess with black eyes and a flat chest.” -Cersei

"I most certainly have not forgotten that little she-wolf…She helped murder my son.” - Cersei

7. Elia and Sansa witnessed the death of a family member in front of them, both pleaded for their loved one to be spared.

“Princess Elia of Dorne pleading for mercy as Rhaegar's heir was ripped from her breast and murdered before her eyes.” - Daenerys

“Lady Sansa has begged mercy for her father." - Arya

8. Both were romantics.

“A pretty lad, and my sister was half in love with him.” - Tyrion

“I love him, Father, I truly do, I love him as much as Queen Naerys loved Prince Aemon the Dragonknight, as much as Jonquil loved Ser Florian.” - Sansa

9. Victims of the Lannisters.

“Some said it had been Gregor who'd dashed the skull of the infant prince Aegon Targaryen against a wall, and whispered that afterward he had raped the mother, the Dornish princess Elia, before putting her to the sword.” - Tyrion

“When I displease him, he has the Kingsguard beat me. He's evil and cruel, my lady, it's so. And the queen as well." - Sansa

Art by amaati

Conclusion: Both deserved better

A thread of parallels between Elia Martell and Padme Amidala:

1. Both were kind.

“You are wise, decreeing, kind hearted these are qualities that came from your mother.” Obi-wan tells Leia.

“Elia even made the noise that young girls make at the sight of infants… I believe she wanted to nurse you herself, ugly as you were.” Oberyn to Tyrion.

2. Both were married to men younger than them. Elia with Rhaegar and Padme with Anakin.

3. Both of their husbands were involved with a prophecy. Anakin was the Chosen One while Rhaegar (for a time) believed himself to be the Prince That Was Promised.

4. Elia and Padme both had two children. A girl and a boy.

5. Their husbands never got to have a full relationship with their children because of their actions.

6. Both Elia’s and Padme’s marriage only lasted three years.

7. Loved ones of the princess’ want vengeance for their deaths. Elia’s brothers have been plotting against the Lannisters for what was done to their sister. Sabe, a former handmaiden to Padme, had sworn to kill Darth Vader, believing he was the cause of the princess’ death.

8. Their sons grew up away from their mothers respective homes and were raised by someone familiar to their fathers. Luke was raised by his uncle Owen in Tatooine and Aegon was raised by his fathers friend, Jon Connington, in Essos.

9. Years after their deaths, Elia and Padme are still remembered about fondly.

*just a fun little thread of parallels I found between these some of my favorite characters. also ran out of space to put pictures 😾
