She can't die anytime soon, nor can Bran.
Everyone else yeah they might.
I thought this theory during s2. They don't "randomly" kill off anyone. If you go back and watch there's a brutal logic to this is how the arc has to end. It isn't always so clear while it is happening. There was no other way to end the arcs of Robb/Cat/etc given s1. But before Red Wedding I wasn't really thinking "oh yea they're just going to kill like everyone" because, well, I dunno. I just didn't see it happening even though in retrospect that is the only possible outcome. And the same was true with Ned.
As for why not Dany or Bran well it doesn't seem like either of their arcs has even taken off yet. Especially Bran. Next time any character seems to be facing untenable circumstances I'm going to assume they're dead, lol. Although using this I would've figured gg Sansa by now - I do think she's "safe" now. Imagining the broad arc there, I don't think she dies.
