Baela and her family live in Pentos, as guests of Prince Reggio Haratis. Unlike her sister, Baela has a dragon. When her mother dies, Baela and her sister are shocked and sad.
Baela attends her mother's funeral at High Tide. She and her sister are warmly welcomed by their grandparents, especially Princess Rhaenys.
That night, Baela and her sister witness Aemond flying Vhagar, and they run to wake their cousin Jacaerys. The sisters, along with Jacaerys and his brother Lucerys, confront Aemond at an entrance to the castle. Tempers flare and a fight breaks out, in which Aemond beats up Baela. The Kingsguard burst in and the children are taken to the Hall of Nine.

==Behind the scenes==
On March 30, 2022, HBO announced that Bethany Antonia had been cast in the role of Baela Targaryen for House of the Dragon. Her character description reads as follows:
:"Eldest daughter of Laena Velaryon and rider of the young dragon Moondancer."
==In the books==
In Fire & Blood, Baela and Rhaena are described as twins, but not identical twins: they started out looking very similar, but in their teenage years their appearance and personalities diverged. The TV series changed this to make Baela slightly older than Rhaena. In the book, Baela was the elder twin by a matter of minutes.
