Daella Targaryen

Princess Daella Targaryen is the eighth born child of King Jaehaerys I Targaryen and Queen Alysanne Targaryen. She is married to Lord Daegon Velaryon, with whom she had three children, Jaenara, Elaena and Aethan Velaryon.

## Appearance and Character

Daella was small of stature: on her toes she stood five feet and two inches. Everyone who met her judged her younger than she was in truth, as there was a childish aspect to her. Her mother, Queen Alysanne Targaryen, described Daella as "my little flower". As she grew to maidenhood she was described as pretty, enough to attract the attention of young lords, but wasn't singled out as exceptionally beautiful.

Daella was considered sweet, kind, and gentle, with a tender heart. However, she was also a delicate and shy, tongue-tied girl, who was easily frightened and quick to cry. She liked flowers but was afraid of gardens, bees, and cats.

The princess was not clever. Although she could read, Daella could only do so haltingly, and without full comprehension. She did not speak until she was almost two years of age. She was unable to memorize even the simplest prayers. Daella had a sweet voice, but was afraid to sing, being unable to recall the correct words. The mildest scolding would reduce Daella to tears.

Daella worshiped her mother, Queen Alysanne, and liked her sister, Princess Maegelle. She was terrified of her other sister, Princess Alyssa, and frightened of her brother, Prince Vaegon.

## History

### ***Early Life***

Daella was born in 64 AC. She was a shy and frightened girl, who considered her sister Maegelle as her "guiding star". When she was young, Daella had a kitten whom she loved, but after it scratched her she did not dare to go near cats anymore.

Daella was the victim of some of the pranks of her younger sister, Princess Saera. Saera always sneaked cats into Daella's bedchamber, knowing that Daella was afraid of them, and she once filled Daella's chamberpot with bees.

King Jaehaerys I Targaryen and Queen Alysanne Targaryen assumed that Daella would one day marry her brother, Prince Vaegon, who was only one year older than she was. However, as time passed it became clear that the two children did not like one another. Vaegon tolerated Daella's presence, but no more, and considered her to be stupid. Daella, on the other hand, was frightened of Vaegon, and considered him to be mean. Although Jaehaerys believed that the two children would eventually warm to one another, in truth their dislike only increased. In 73 AC, one of Alysanne's companions asked Daella and Vaegon when they would be wed. Vaegon's public reaction was a grave insult to Daella, who fled the hall crying, as her mother ran after her. Following this incident, Jaehaerys and Alysanne agreed that they would need to find other spouses for their children.

At the age of thirteen, Daella travelled with her mother to Driftmark to meet with Daegon Velaryon. The heir to Driftmark was six years old at the time and already a dragonrider whose dragon was Seasmoke. Daegon convinced Daella to ride with her, which caused Daella to become smitten with the boy and agreeing to be betrothed to him.

### ***Marriage***

At the age of twenty, Daella married Daegon Velaryon in Driftmark on his fourteenth nameday.
