'Game of Thrones' season 5 spoilers: Arya and Sansa's fate revealed

The excitement is starting to build up for the upcoming premiere of "Game of Thrones" season 5, which means that spoilers about the show are surfacing more frequently online. 

Just recently, a few major and minor characters already wrapped up filming their sequences for the upcoming season. One of them is Natalie Dormer, who plays the role of Lady Margery Tyrell in the TV adaptation of the best-selling novels written by George R.R. Martin. She confirmed that her scenes for the upcoming season had all been filmed. 

Other actors who announced that their shooting days for "GoT" season 5 are over include Keisha Castle-Hughes and Jessica Henwick, who both portray the roles of Sand Snakes, as well as Kerry Ingram, who plays the role of Shireen Baratheon. 

Meanwhile, there are a lot of interesting plots surrounding the Stark girls in the upcoming season of "Game of Thrones." 

Sansa, played by Sophie Turner, will be having a major transformation this season. 

Viewers of the HBO TV adaptation are used to the meek, shy Sansa who is always trying to be a prim and proper lady. But in the coming episode, the eldest Stark daughter will shed her gentle persona and turn into a darker, more cunning character. 

Last season, Sansa was forced to leave The King's Landing after she and her husband, Tyrion Lannister, was accused of killing King Joffrey. She was taken to the Eyrie by Little Finger, where she stayed with her aunt Lady Lysa. Based on a recent interview with Turner, Sansa will face a traumatic experience in the coming season, which leads her to become tougher. 

Meanwhile, Sansa's sister Arya is also transforming in "GoT" season 5. Maisie Williams, the actress who plays the role of the youngest Stark daughter, revealed several teasers about her character in the upcoming season. 

"There's a big ending for Arya," Williams said about her character's journeys in season 5. "They're basically breaking her down, and you get to see behind the cracks." 

Could this mean that Arya will be one of the characters who will die this season? 

On the other hand, the first trailer for "Game of Thrones" season 5 was finally exclusively revealed to subscribers of the ThreeEyedRaven social media account on Twitter. The video, released on Monday, shows Sansa, Tyrion (Peter Dinklage), a raven, and Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey). 

But fans who received the link were not happy with the video since they were only allowed to view the teaser once. The video also allegedly works on mobile devices only, and there are a lot of technical glitches when watching the clip. 

HBO still has not announced the official release date of "Game of Thrones" season 5, but it is expected to air in Spring 2015.
