Rhaenyra Targaryen (daughter of Rhaegar )

Rhaenyra Targaryen is the eldest child of King Rhaegar Targaryen and his wife, Rhaenys. As is Valyrian tradition, she married her brother-husband King Aegon Targaryen VII and is Queen of the Seven Kingdoms alongside his second sister-wife, Visenya Silvermoon.

Sharing her mother's martial aptitude, the Queen has trained since she was old enough to hold a blade. Inheriting "Dark sister", she is reputed for her many achievements during the Bleeding. Her ideologies have enforced the schism created by Visenya's ascent into royal court, embodying the politics that the Talons pursue.

She is the rider of Silanax, a dragon of pure gold that hatched in her cradle. When not tending to issues of the Kingdom or her child, she can be found practicing dutifully with the blade or upon her drake's back.

Appearance and Character
Rhaenyra stands at an impressive six feet, embodying the slender physique of her bloodline. Broad of shoulder, muscled throughout and lacking the distinct swell of hip or bust, she is notably less feminine than her peers.

Years of bearing armor and a strict daily regimen have made her the pinnacle of athletic pursuits, a detail that is maintained throughout her rule. Her face is strong jawed, with a prominent, hawkish nose that mirrors the feathery quality of blonde gold hair. Thick, stern brows rest over periwinkle, a pallor that produces a chilly, piercing stare through white lashes. White-gold locks hold a ‘bell’ shape when loose, puffing if not restrained in the braid that often plaits one side.

If all these traits did not separate the first Queen from her family, individual scars would. The gash at shoulder is modestly tucked beneath clothing, but the missing patch on the left side of her head is difficult to hide unless hair curtains it. Various nicks grace her person, though have been kept to an acceptable appearance throughout the years; the largest implication to her combat prowess are her hands, calloused and strong from the frequent grip on Dark Sister’s hilt.

When the Queen walks, she carries an aura of oppressive, intimidating grandeur. She bears the cadence of a soldier, disciplined and upright, calling forth a powerful, husky voice of long projection. Because of this, her standard speak can be related to a growl, accompanied by the severity that often characterized her stare.
