Halaena Zyran

Halaena Zyran was the daughter of Gaen Zyran and Tarsya Adeyon, and thus a member of House Zyran. She was the twin sister of Salaena Zyran and was born in Valyria, but moved to Lys when she was just 3. She was raised in the city of Lys, in the stronghold of the family known as Rockbone. Halaena was betroved to her youngest brother, Maekar Zyran. She did not want this marriage to take place, and thus rebelled. She soon started a romance with a lover. This affair before her marriage was with one of the most important bachelors within the Lyseni ruling families. She was a naive teenager when she planned with her teenage lover to run away and live far away, going into exciting adventures. She run away at 15 with him to avoid her marriage to her brother, hiding in Pentos. There, she had a son and a daughter with her lover in exile. Beautiful but not less intelligent than her twin sister, was tricked into this mess all along.

Sadly, she had to shamefully return to the household and to clean her name aged 18 after three years in exile. When she came back, she was not married to Maekar who had been married instead to Miella Zyran after Halaena escaped. So it was decided that she had to marry Daeron Zyran, her youngest brother. Daeron originally had been betroved to Miella. He was only 15 at the time.

Her first two illegitimate children with the unknown Lyseni noble were known as Dalysanne of Lys and Valerion of Lys and were taken care of by the Zyrans after the lover of Halaena run away from her and left her with a small baby and pregnant. The father's family never ever acknoledged the children either and this issue created problems between them and the Zyrans that lasted for generations. The father never again showed any interest in her or his two children, who were raised with the help of Tarsya (their grandmother) who took pity on them. None however were legitimized nor received any dragon egg. Halaena also did not had a dragon egg herself, as she run away before she could get any.

With Daeron, she had two daughters known as Rhaenyra Zyran and Jaenara Zyran, and a son, known as Aerys Zyran.

This affair at her early teen years caused Halaena to become more secluded and definitely more paranoid. She never again fully trusted others and was said to have had guards on her door day and night, have few maids and never allowed her brother to interact with them. This scar of her youth also left her with a shady taste for gore and terrific acts. Some say she even slapped her maids accusing them of looking to much to Daeron. And it said to have enjoyed the punishment. She also was ruthless when defending against rebellious lyseni and it's said to have been responsable for torturing the little brother of his former lover in retaliation for what he did to her at some point.

On the other side, she is also known to have enjoyed reading and be very well verse in literature and ancient text, being very well prepared and educated. She enjoyed arts and poetry and had a special soft spot for bards and artistic and intellectual people. Sometimes said to spend too much money on this, waisting the family treasure in the process which was a matter of conflict with her brother Vaegon.

In her mysery, she learn that her husband preferred the company of men and had multiple male lovers frequenting brothels. He actually ended up transmitting her a venearal disease. All this added to her broken heart and her islationist nature, led to a drinking problem that finally ended her life. Some have speculated that it was actual suicide that drove her to die. Either way, she was the first one of her siblings to die at the age of 65.
