Daenys Targaryen

Jaehaerys Targaryen

Ayrmidon Targaryen

Daenys Targaryen was born in 106 AC to Viserys I Targaryen and Zhoe Arryn, the pair's first daughter and fourth child together. So far the Princess has lived a rather uneventful life, focusing on the smaller parts of life within the Red Keep and not often concerning herself with the greater matters of the realm.

## Appearance and Character

Daenys inherited her father's lilac eyes and silver hair, which she normally wears down and allows to grow past her shoulders. Standing a little over five feet tall Daenys has a slim but still shapely build, with a fair complexion. Daenys often dresses in darker colours, contrasting with her bright features and fair complexion. Despite her quiet demeanour, she often dresses rather freely, unafraid of drawing attention to herself.

Despite possessing a quick wit and sharp mind Daenys never really took to her lessons, finding them boring and that they were rarely able to hold her attention for any extended period of time. In her younger years, she drifted from interest to interest, again finding that her focus often faltered quickly.

Generally a quiet person, Daenys needs to know a person for a while before fully accepting them as a friend, however, she is not shy when she comes across somebody she finds interesting or needs something from. Eventually she did find an interest that stuck, knowing other people's' business. Gossip quickly became her currency, and within court, it was hardly difficult to come by.

## History

As the Queen's first daughter Daenys was doted on by her mother until Rhaenys was born soon after. The Queen had been waiting for a daughter after giving birth to three sons, as such Zhoe and Daenys have a strong and close relationship.

In her childhood, Daenys was an energetic and eager child, who spent much of her time playing with her elder brother Jaeharys. As they grew older the pair only grew closer, with Daenys prioritising her relationship with Jaehaerys over her other siblings. Daenys still often spent a lot of time with her mother and as such befriended a number of her mother's ladies, most notably Sarella Toland who quickly became her closest friend besides her brother. As Deanys became a teenage she began to learn the ways of extracting information from others, be it by leveraging her position and the power that came with it or using her beauty to her advantage. At first, she was sometimes caught and scolded by her mother, but the more she practised the less she would fail. Most of what she endeavoured to know was harmless gossip from the court of the father, Daenys had little interest in politics and never used her skills for anything but sating her own curiosity.

Her relationship with Jaehaerys only grew stronger with age, though it always remained emotional rather than physical. As they began to come of age and the marriage between their siblings Baelor and Rhaenys came to light, Daenys hoped and expected that she and Jaehaerys would be next to marry. However, it never came to be and in 129 AC her betrothal to Aegon's son Vaelys was arranged, much to the Princess' chagrin. Not only did she not get the marriage she had quietly hoped for with Jaehaerys she had also, in her opinion, been given a poor match politically and uninteresting personally. An opinion which she had no intention of hiding. This news only pushed her closer to Jaehaerys, isolating the pair from their siblings even more than before as her frustration and resentment grew.
