She has two younger siblings, her younger brother, the Crown Prince, Aegon Targaryen and her youngest Half-Brother, Prince Jaehaerys Targaryen.

## **Appearance and Character:**

Princess Rhaenys Targaryen resembles her mother's family, she looks much more like a Dornish princess from her mother's house, House Martell, than her own, House Targaryen. Like her brother Jae, she has none of the usual Targaryen family traits.

Rhaenys is lush, with olive skin, brown eyes, and long, thick dark brown hair. She is considered very beautiful.

Rhaenys trusts a lot those she trusts and loves, but she is also very suspicious of those she doesn't trust. She tries to distance herself from those at court she doesn't really trust, or from those who are trying to gain more power or favors for her house.

She is also very smart and cunning, she knows how the court of King's Landing works, how people think, what she wants and how to get what she wants.

She learned to use sexuality as a weapon from her cousin Arianne, which allowed her to learn many secrets by sharing a bedroom with a few people and recruiting women who tend to do the same as her, making her a very skilled spy and rival for younger brother Aegon in the race to inherit the Iron Throne.

Rhaenys has shared her bed with both men and women, her cousin Nymeria being a frequent bedfellow.

## **History:**

Rhaenys was born in Dragonstone. After his birth, his mother was bedridden for half a year. Rhaenys was presented at court by her father, Prince  Rhaegar Targaryen. While her grandmother, Queen Rhaella Targaryen, hugged her warmly, her grandfather, King Aerys II Targaryen, refused to touch or hold her, claiming that she smelled like " Dornish".

Rhaenys is very close to all of her family, aside from her uncle  Viserys, like most of her family. Growing up, she was very close to her brother, the Crown Prince, Aegon Targaryen, with her younger brother Jaehaerys Targaryen, although she loved him very much, her relationship was more complicated. Her aunt  Daenerys was also born around the same time as  Jae and Rhaenys also considers her a sister to her. Rhaenys was always aware that the Targaryen family was considered strange and incorrect by some people. In her relationship with the two queens, Rhaenys loves Elia Martell very much, with her stepmother Lyanna Stark, she does not have the same affection as her own mother, but she respects her, as it should be, and values the her adventurous spirit.

Even at a young age, Rhaenys decided that she would not teach her a Septa, she refused, something that angered her father and her mother. It was one of the best decisions she ever made. Her grandmother, the Dowager Queen Rhaelle Targaryen, decided that she herself would teach Rhaenys and  Daenerys. Her grandmother taught her everything that a Septa would do, but also what she should know about court, what she should know about dealing with lords and ladies. Not only did she help teach two princesses of  Targaryen valuable information they needed to know, but she helped bring back the Queen Mother, who had suffered so much abuse in her life, to the old me of her.

Throughout her life, almost every Lord Rhaenys met offered her hand, her children's hand, or some relative of theirs for her to marry, she got tired of it, just like  Daenerys. She at first believed that she would marry her brother,  Aegon who would one day be King. But Rhaenys told her father,  Rhaegar that she would never be forced into her marriage.

During her childhood she was sent to Dorne for a couple of years to live in Sunspear with her uncle the prince Doran Martell, during which time she learned about the heritage and customs of the family of his mother. She accompanied her to the Dorne Lady Ashara Dayne and her daughter Elaena Dayne, who is a friend of Rhaeny. She also became good friends with her cousin, Arianne Martell, Obara Sand, Nymeria Sand, Tyene Sand and Elia Sand.

Returning to court, he asked her father if she herself, as firstborn, would be his heir over Aegon, but Rhaegar did not want to hear about it (fearing that another Dance of Dragons would break out), causing some tension between them. .
During this time Rhaenys tried to woo her younger brother, Aegon, in order to ascend herself as his queen consort when her father die, but he rejected her; Aegon was determined to one day marry his aunt, Daenerys.

After her mother's death, Rhaenys returned to Dorne, frustrated that her father did not take her seriously, and that her brother did not consider her to be his wife. And it is rumored that she schemes with her cousin, Arianne Martell to seize the succession.
