Ser Dontos, a high position? He was only slightly better than rabble. And as I pointed out, she did at risk to herself. I don't see how she could have fathomed he would be of any use to her, and as I said, he was also the type of person she would normally be repulsed by. In fact, she was repulsed by him later.

And I don't see how not concerning herself with peasants is a mark against her: as the other anon pointed out, she is no position to worry about them. She is in no position to help them, but she does help those she is in a position to.

I would consider a mark against GRRM because we're rife with characters who seem to embody goodness and kindness and courtly ideals but subvert it. Basically all of the Kingsguard and Rainbow Guard, excusing Brienne. Cersei is a better example of a character who is outwardly polite, kind, ladylike, but doesn't truly embody those traits. Sansa very consciously tries to, but the difference is she wants to because she wants to be a good person.
