CHARACTER FACTS
» Name: Daenerys Targaryen
» Canon: A Song of Ice and Fire
» Reference: http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Daenerys_Targaryen
» Canon Point: End of Storm of Swords
» Gender: Female
» Age: Almost 17, will be aged to 18
CHARACTER INTERPRETATION
» Appearance: Dany is a short and very beautiful young woman, with gentle curves and extremely toned muscles, though she does carry the marks of a woman who has been pregnant, with light colored stretch marks (now barely visible) on her stomach and thighs. She has silver/white blonde hair and violet eyes. Having already been through puberty and reaching womanhood younger than your average teenager, Dany will not change much in appearance, except for to perhaps grow slightly taller, to about 5’3”.
» Suitability: Though technically underage in our modern society, in Dany’s world, girls are quite often married soon after their first menstruation (or flowering), around the age of 13. Dany herself was married at 13, and lost her virginity on her wedding night. She was pregnant within her first year of marriage, though the child was still born. She even taught her husband to be a more considerate lover by teaching him to let her take control from time to time.
She is not uncomfortable with sex in the slightest, and while she will be picky about her choice in partners, the sexual side of the island will not be particularly shocking for her. She owns the sexual side of herself, and will do what she needs to do to survive.
» Orientation: Bisexual – Daenerys has had sexual relations with both men and women in the series. She lost her virginity to her husband, Khal Drogo, and enjoys the company of other men after her canon point. After Drogo’s death, she also allows her handmaiden, Irri, to give her release, though she feels some shame about the act afterwards. It is likely that Dany has some bisexual tendencies, though she generally prefers men.
» Personality
When Daenerys is first introduced to the reader, she’s seen as a somewhat naïve, meek, fragile person. Her relationship with her brother is clearly abusive, and she tends to recoil from him, as well as be continually frightened by his temper. Their relationship is strange to outside readers; their family is well known for incestuous marriage and relationships, and Dany has grown up believing that she will likely one day marry her brother. Viserys bullies her often, and when the story opens for Dany, we learn that he’s also essentially selling her into slavery, giving her up to be a Khal’s bride in order to gain himself an army so that he can win back the Iron Throne.
Her tameness and dependence on her brother is shown here, because she agrees with little more than a mentioning of how she does not want to marry Khal Drogo. He essentially threatens her, and she does what he wants, becoming a bride, Khalessi of Drogo’s khalasar, as well as losing her virginity at the tender age of thirteen years old.
But it is as Khalessi that Daenerys is able to blossom. While most Khalessi do not have much authority, Dany begins to see herself as a Queen, especially since exercising her voice and power seems to make Drogo approve of her even more. She gains some control in their bedroom as well; most Dothraki women are only taken from behind, but with the help of her handmaiden, she learns the ways of sex, and gets Khal Drogo to submit to her in bed. She grows strong and proud as Khalessi, much to the disdain and jealousy of her brother, who grows more and more angry with her and the Khal for wasting his time.
By this point, Dany can see that not only is her brother no more than a bully, but he is no leader, and would make a terrible King even if he ever managed to regain the throne he believes is his. When he threatens her and her unborn child, growing in her belly, she does nothing to stop her husband as he kills her only remaining family by pouring a pot of molten gold over his head. Fire cannot kill a dragon, she says, as she realizes that he never was one. She does not even particularly mourn his passing, fully capable of going on without him. It is a testament to how much she grows as a person over that year, coming into her own and gaining a handle on her own self-worth.
It is this strength that ends up carrying her through the story to her current canon point. She suffers greatly after the death of both Drogo and their baby, but she manages to survive through her great wit, ability to win others with her words, and her loyal companions. She inspires loyalty in others, and those that love her know that she would make a good leader, because not only is she strong and determined, but she also has compassion that is not known to most conquerors. She has lived the life of a slave, essentially, and she would wish that kind of life on no one else.
And then there are her dragons, the creatures she stepped into the flames with, was sitting beside them in the fire as they hatched, fed them milk from her breasts that was meant for her son. They are her children, and there is little that she could care for more than them. They are a symbol of her magic and her rebirth as the last Targaryen dragon, and she loves them as if they were her own babies. In her mind, they essentially are. They are also her greatest weapon, though they need protecting for now because they are so young. As such, she is, obviously, very protective of them, for to lose them would be to lose literally everything. Her children, her life, and any chance she has at regaining the Iron Throne in the name of her family.
Because even though there are many things she disliked about her brother, Viserys, she grew up believing that the Iron Throne rightly belonged to him, and thus with his death, her. In his weakness, she believes it falls upon her shoulders to return their family to their rightful place as the ruler of Westeros, and she has made it her life’s mission to do so. However, she has proven that she will not sink to levels she believes beneath her in order to win. She knows that, even if she had all the money in the world, she cannot simply take over and have any hope to keep the Throne. She is an intelligent woman, even at her age, and knows that she has to learn to be a good and just ruler before she can ever hope to keep her title after she wins it.
She has already proven to have a good heart, however. Even as Khal Drogo’s wife, she stood against others in the khalasar to save the lives of women being repeatedly raped after battle and taking them under her wing. She has sacked cities, but has done so in order to free slaves and has always attempted as little bloodshed as possible. She realizes fully that blood will be spilt no matter what, but there is always a better way than simple massacre, especially of innocents.
Daenerys is all about balance. She has both strength and weakness, the ability to be calm and the temper of a dragon, and she can be both merciful and merciless. Her driving goal, however, is simply to return home and claim what is hers, all while remaining true to herself and her morals and beliefs.

[I has taken Daenerys a great deal of time to figure out this strange magical device. It’s like nothing she has ever seen in her entire lifetime, and it’s likely that she’s been playing with it for close to a couple hours now. Still, the feed cuts in and out several times, her expression confused and somewhat concerned at the strange things flashing up at her from the screen.
Finally, her expression hardens into something more confident and strong, though there’s the slightest hint of doubt in her eyes. She feels somewhat silly, not sure if she’s doing this correctly, though she takes comfort in the fact that if she isn’t? No one will have heard her being foolish but herself.]
I cannot say that I am pleased by this turn of events.
[Her voice is stiff. She’s angry, underneath the worry and the confusion.]
Do not think that I will simply bend to your will. I am not yours to command.
[Said to whoever put this collar around her throat, if by chance they are listening. Her hand reaches up to the offensive object, her fingers closing around it.]
I am Daenerys Stormborn, of House Targaryen, the Unburnt, Mother of Dragons, and Queen of Meereen and the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros.
[Her fingers tighten around the collar as she glares into the device.]
And a dragon is not a slave.
