Game of Thrones season five will see a few changes in players. There are a few new faces but some characters have just taken on a new attitude for the coming season. Sansa Stark will not be the weak girl we remember.

Actress Sophie Turner talks about her role and the changes that her character has gone through with the Huffington Post.
"She wanted to completely change everything everyone has ever known about her. So it's just like a massive transformation. There's no Sansa left behind, and I think not just in the way that she appears but in the way that she's thinking now. How she's become this, like, massive manipulator in a way," Turner said.

We saw a little bit of that at the end of last season with the new outfit and the sort of merciless lying to cover up the death of her aunt. To be fair though, her aunt was awful in every way imaginable. Every moment with that woman on screen was uncomfortable.
The Sansa is likely to play a much larger role in the series than we've seen before. In past seasons, she has more or less been a pawn in other's games. This season it seems that she will be playing her own game.
It seems likely that her target will be the Lannisters. They, after all, are the cause of the death of her entire family so it seems logical that her anger would be focused on them. With the remaining Stark and the Tyrell family focusing on them, the Lannisters may find themselves out of power in short order.
