The slippers the Butcher King had sent her had grown too uncomfortable. Dany kicked them off and sat with one foot tucked beneath her and the other swinging back and forth. It was not a very regal pose, but she was tired of being regal. The crown had given her a headache, and her buttocks had gone to sleep. “Ser Barristan,” she called, “I know what quality a king needs most.”

“Courage, Your Grace?”

“Cheeks like iron,” she teased. “All I do is sit.”

“All Daenerys wanted back was the big house with the red door, the lemon tree outside her window, the childhood she had never known.”

She is my favorite character from the books, I love her so much so I hope to have done a good job on this one

dany remembers a lemon tree near the house with the red door in braavos

arya notices that there are no trees in bravos

sam mentions that the exception is courts and gardens

there’s the sealord palace in braavos and as depicted on the map it has greenery

dany describes house with the red doors as having ‘wooden beams with carved animal faces adorning them’

“The Sealord’s Palace contains the Sealord’s menagerie.”

elissa farman stole three of rhaena’s dragon eggs and sold them to the sealord….

house with the red door is the sealord’s palace and dany’s dragons hatched from rhaena’s stolen eggs. what is also interesting is as @adreamofspring​ mentioned, rhaena was the one who started the tradition of putting dragon eggs to baby targaryens’ cradles to make them bond quicker and as @etherealdany​ noticed dany becomes stronger after her second dragon dream. did dany have those eggs since she was born and was separated from them because of illyrio?

Quick sketch: Dany and the lemon tree.

"Sansa knew all about the sorts of people Arya liked to talk to: squires and grooms and serving girls, old men and naked children, rough-spoken freeriders of uncertain birth. Arya would make friends with anybody. This Mycah was the worst; a butcher's boy, thirteen and wild, he slept in the meat wagon and smelled of the slaughtering block. Just the sight of him was enough to make Sansa feel sick, but Arya seemed to prefer his company to hers."

^ This is Sansa's first chapter in AGOT. I'll be the first to say we shouldn't judge a child at the beginning of her arc, pre-character development. But this is Sansa's canonical view of peasants and people who aren't highborn at the start of the story.

And this is from Dany's first chapter in AGOT:

"The square brick towers of Pentos were black silhouettes outlined against the setting sun. Dany could hear the singing of the red priests as they lit their night fires and the shouts of ragged children playing games beyond the walls of the estate. For a moment she wished she could be out there with them, barefoot and breathless and dressed in tatters, with no past and no future and no feast to attend at Khal Drogo's manse."

Dany and Sansa have remarkably different upbringings, but there's no denying which character shows classist traits and which character doesn't.
