Alaera Targaryen of Whitefyre

"Alaera story is a sad one, but a fierce one as well. She was tied to a terrible destiny but she fought against it with all the dragon fury she had flowing inside of her. Everything can be changed, not even your destiny is ahead of your own will" - Saena Targaryen of Whitefyre to a young Aerys III, about the Civil War. Alaera Targaryen of Whitefyre was the daughter of Maelor I Targaryen of Whitefyre "the Usurper" and his cousin-wife, Naerys Targaryen of Whitefyre. She was married to Jacaerys Targaryen of Whitefyre "The Cruel", becoming his sister-wife. Alaera was also the mother of Viela Targaryen of Whitefyre and thus the granmother of later King Haegon III Targaryen of Whitefyre and Naera Targaryen of Whitefyre. She was born in the Kingdom of the Three Islands, and thus was granted the status of Royal Princess for a while, as his father reigned, having robbed Vaegon I of his right to the throne in the regency of his coming of age. However, she wasnt born a princes, but just as the niece of the King Rhaellor. Alaera was also the second rider of Gaulax, after Daenaera, her aunt.

She was raised in the Island of Aegon, under the wing of her uncle, King Rhaellor I Targaryen of Whitefyre. It was at this time that she became close to him and even close to the little Vaegon, which was barely 1 but she grew as a protective big sister to him. When her uncle died suddenly, she refused to admit his father as the new King instead of his cousin but was forced to under the treat of treason. She was later forcefully marry to Jacaerys when the proposal was offered but due to her young age, she had to comply.

During his father's 10 year reign of terror, she was under the control of Jacaerys who was since threatened as the heir to the throne. His older sister was married to Vaegon, in order to control both lines despite the age difference. Baela was submissive, timid and very nice. Sometimes too nice for her own good. Docile as she was she prefer books over the sword. Alaera on the contrary was fierced and rebellious in nature and always wanting to disrupt the status quo of things for what she believed were the right thing to do.

When Maelor I died, she took her young daughter Viela and flew away to Lys, seeking refure in Rockbone, just as Baela, Vaegon had taken refuge after Daenaera's passing.
