## History

Born in the year 350 AC, Helaena Targaryen
was named after the wife of Aegon II. She was a beautiful baby
with a charming smile that lit up the faces of all around her. Though
being the second born daughter, in some ways she was a disappointment
from birth. Queen Alys wanted a son, so it meant there would be more
offspring yet to come. From early on Helaena learned how to entertain
herself, finding ways to sweetly torment her servants. She would watch
servants in the kitchen when they ran off to meet their paramours, only
to tell on them later to see them punished. Many considered her an odd
girl, with a fascination for the private lives of others. Though she was
 well liked, she knew how to use her good looks to get her way. Very
rarely did she get punished for any of her little cruel games of espionage.

As she got a little older, she truly grew into her looks. The silver
haired dragoness of Yunkai was now garnering more attention than she
ever thought possible. Perhaps it was a good lesson to learn early on,
how to hide in plain view. She had to learn quickly how to play her
little games with so many people watching her now. She was quickly
garnering suitors though none of them had the aspirations or power that
she sought. She had grown obsessed contemplating her future, she even
developed a disorder after missing countless meals plotting, reading,
and just generally keeping her brain occupied elsewhere. The obsessed
 girl knew her destiny was not here in Yunkai, though she loved her
family dearly it was time she developed other ways to help their legacy.

She had grown up reading stories about the Targaryens of Westeros,
heard her Mother talk about them as well. She knew there was a place far
 away, a land she never really expected she would go. She met a man from
 Yunkai, a wealthy merchant of sorts. He was enamored with her looks and
 her name, he wanted more than Helaena would give. Though she developed a
 parasitic relationship with Oqhis, to further her aspirations.

Acting as a scribe, she forged documents asking for
the Magisters of Lys to accept Helaena Targaryen as an ambassador to
further Lys and Yunkai trade and mutual cooperation. This letter was
signed with the penmanship of King Areo Targaryen. She left in the cover
 of night setting sail, with her Patron and a trusted bodyguard, among a
 few other royal soldiers that she assumed she may need.

Eventually arriving in Lys, she spent more than three months there.
Meeting a beautiful servant girl who acted as a companion and muse to
see where her ambitions could take her. Helaena purchased the bed-slave
and redressed her ship, servants, and guards to closer mimic that of the
 Lysene culture and fashion. From there, she set off to King’s Landing.
