Rhaenyra Targaryen (daughter of Rhaegar )

Rhaenyra Targaryen is the eldest child of Prince Rhaegar Targaryen and his wife, Rhaenys. She is the rider of Silanax, a dragon which hatched in her cradle. She is one of the principle rivals of Visenya Silvermoon, though whether or not it is a true rivalry yet remains to be seen.

Appearance and Character
Tall, slender, unforgiving, unappreciative, Rhaenyra Targaryen is everything her mother is, and more. At nine years old, Rhaenyra Targaryen is much a match for her half-sister, Visenya Silvermoon, with pale skin and violet eyes, silver-gold hair that remains trimmed at the shoulders.

Carrying herself with an air of importance, Rhaenyra does not lack for skill in the blade. Sharing with her mother the martial activities of youth, Rhaenyra strives to be everything her mother was and more, citing that one day she would, "carry Dark Sister."

History
Rhaenyra Targaryen was born in the 11th Moon or 408 AC to Rhaegar Targaryen and his wife, Princess Rhaenys. Visaera Targaryen's first trueborn grandchild, Tyraxes' first egg was placed within her cradle, and not six months later, a golden dragon emerged, named Silanax.

Unlike her half-sister, Visenya, Rhaenyra had a difficult time with her texts, but took easily to her time on Dragonstone, climbing rocks and daring to ascend the Dragonmount further than anyone had in a generation.

She was coddled by Rhaenys, made the Princess's favourite after she showed a significant interest in learning the blade, to which the Princess trained her exclusively.

At feasts, tournaments, and balls, Rhaenyra would always be seen at Rhaenys' side. Though the Princess had initially sought to separate her and Visenya, it seemed unlikely the two would ever be apart after they took to their drakes together in the early moons of 416 AC, circling thrice around King's Landing before strong winds forced them down.

Rhaenys rode often and more with Rhaenyra, her on Silanax, and the Princess upon Vhaegon, sometimes even joined by Prince Rhaegar on Nightwing. The three would travel often between Dragonstone and King's Landing, and Summerhall as well, staying at the latter for almost a fool moon after it's expansion was complete.

Recent History
With the Tourney of Summerhall on the horizon, Rhaenyra looks forward to impressing the nobility of the Seven Kingdoms, and perhaps, for once, outdoing her half-sister.
