I Haven't Been Part Of The Asoiaf Fandom In Years, But I've Been Rereading Parts Of A Feast For Crows

i haven't been part of the asoiaf fandom in years, but i've been rereading parts of a feast for crows lately and it turns out you never leave the house martell/dorne fandom

got/asoiaf meme ♕ [1/3] pre-series characters | The Conqueror Queens Visenya and Rhaenys Targaryen

Visenya, eldest of the three siblings, was as much a warrior as Aegon himself, as comfortable in ringmail as in silk. She carried the Valyrian longsword Dark Sister, and was skilled in its use, having trained beside her brother since childhood. Though possessed of the silver-gold hair and purple eyes of Valyria, hers was a harsh, austere beauty. Even those who loved her best found Visenya stern, serious, and unforgiving: some said she played with poisons and dabbled in dark sorceries.

Rhaenys, youngest of the three Targaryens, was all her sister was not, playful, curious, impulsive, given to flights of fancy. No true warrior, Rhaenys loved music, dancing, and poetry, and supported many a singer, mummer, and puppeteer. Yet it was said that Rhaenys spent more time on dragonback than her brother and sister combined, for above all things she loved to fly. She was once heard to say that before she died she meant to fly Meraxes across the Sunset Sea to see what lay upon its western shores.

okay eight episodes in they finally got me with enough shared history over decades for me to care about them
