Aelinor Targaryen

Princess Aelinor Targaryen is the middle child of Aemon, and Visaera Targaryen. Born on Dragonstone in 389 A.C., she has always preferred to stay in the shadows. Though always in attendance at social events, she often limits herself to pleasantries to avoid drawing unwanted attention to herself. These habits have shaped her into a reserved, but sometimes mischievous young woman.

Appearance and Character
Gifted with traditional Valyrian features, Aelinor has beautiful, pale violet eyes, and hair as white as snow. She is small in both height, and build, her petite frame often draped in the Targaryen colours.

Although her looks express her Targaryen blood, she has not always felt she belonged in such an old, and royal house. Her family name, and the weight that it held over the realm are always present in her mind. It took many years before Aelinor adjusted to the idea of being worthy of her heritage.

As she grew into a young woman, so grew her confidence in the beauty her Valyrian ancestry had given her. Carrying herself with a newfound assertiveness, Aelinor has started to notice how others gaze at her beauty. She has only recently discovered how powerful their glances can make her feel.

History
Children should be seen, and not heard. Aelinor was neither.

During her earliest years on Dragonstone, Princess Aelinor was almost always out of sight. Ever a quiet child, she kept to herself for most of her youth. Being the middle child in her ever-growing family, Aelinor accepted her place in the shadows of her siblings.

Aelinor was given a cradle egg as a child, which she still has in her possession. Despite having not managed to hatch it in her youth, the princess has always felt a strong connection to the opal dragon egg.

Recent History 405 - 407 A.C.
In her sixteenth year, Aelinor lost her father. The departure, and disappearance of the Prince of Dragonstone had unsettled her, as it had many. To have a parent die was a terrible thing, and the uncertainty surrounding his presumed death made it difficult for her to mourn properly. Even as the years pass, she holds a hope that her father might return.

As her mother was named Princess of Dragonstone, Aelinor adjusted to her family’s new structure. Although her father was gone, their lives continued. The loss had affected them all differently, and it was her reaction to alter the way she had been carrying herself until that point.

Princess Aelinor made an effort to be more present, attending any and all events it was her privilege to attend. A full noble education, and growing confidence guided her through her meetings with others. It was easy for her to put on the facade her role as a princess required, if only to hide among others who she thought to be doing the same.
