DAENERYS TARGARYEN AND THE WOMEN WHO PHYSICALLY RESEMBLE HER

DAENERYS TARGARYEN AND THE WOMEN WHO PHYSICALLY RESEMBLE HER

Ashara Dayne: Even after all these years, Ser Barristan could still recall Ashara’s smile, the sound of her laughter. He had only to close his eyes to see her, with her long dark hair tumbling about her shoulders and those haunting purple eyes. Daenerys has the same eyes. Sometimes when the queen looked at him, he felt as if he were looking at Ashara’s daughter … (ADWD The Kingbreaker)

[Ashara Dayne’s appearance] almost certainly is a reference to Elizabeth Taylor. Years back I had asked George about the violet eyes of the Daynes and whether they were related to the Targaryens. His response was that so far as he knew, they had no Targaryen blood… and then he pointed out that there are people with violet eyes in the real world, and he specifically pointed out Elizabeth Taylor as an example. (Elio Garcia)

Naerys Targaryen: The sister of King Aegon the Unworthy and Prince Aemon the Dragonknight was beautiful as well, but hers was a very fine and delicate beauty, almost unworldy. She was a wisp of a woman, smaller even than Dany (to whom she bears a certain resemblance), very slender, with big purple eyes and fine, pale, porcelain skin, near translucent. Naerys had none of Dany’s strength, however. (So Spake Martin)

Lynesse Hightower: “What did she look like, your Lady Lynesse?” Ser Jorah smiled sadly. “Why, she looked a bit like you, Daenerys.” (ACOK Daenerys I)

Never Lost. Always Found. SEASON 3 | VOLUME 2

Free, Florence and the Machine

Her mother had died birthing her, and for that her brother Viserys had never forgiven her. […] They had wandered since then, from Braavos to Myr, from Myr to Tyrosh, and on to Qohor and Volantis and Lys, never staying long in any one place. Her brother would not allow it.

A Game of Thrones, Daenerys I

Day followed day, and night followed night, until Dany knew she could not endure a moment longer. She would kill herself rather than go on, she decided one night …

A Game of Thrones, Daenerys III

As Daenerys Targaryen rose to her feet, her black hissed, pale smoke venting from its mouth and nostrils. The other two pulled away from her breasts and added their voices to the call, translucent wings unfolding and stirring the air, and for the first time in hundreds of years, the night came alive with the music of dragons.

GEORGE R. R. MARTIN’S STATEMENTS AND HOUSE OF THE DRAGON INDICATING THAT DAENERYS TARGARYEN IS THE PROPHESIED HERO OF A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE

George R. R. Martin: *associates Daenerys with the founder of the Targaryen dynasty who intended to unite Westeros in preparation for the War for the Dawn - she’s literally called “Aegon the Conqueror with teats”*

*has Daenerys dream about burning white walkers with dragonfire* 

*makes it clear that Daenerys is Azor Ahai/Princess That Was Promised* (“Azor Ahai shall […] wake dragons out of stone”/“No one ever looked for a girl. […] Daenerys is the one. […] The dragons prove it.”)

*confirms that Daenerys and her dragons are the Fire - which, according to his own description, symbolizes “love”, “passion” and “sexual ardor” in contrast to Ice representing “betrayal”, “revenge” and “cold inhumanity” - of A Song of Ice and Fire*

House of the Dragon (note that GRRM had more influence on that show than on Game of Thrones): *plays a song called “The Prince That Was Promised” - which was inspired by Daenerys’ theme songs - during the reveal of Aegon I’s prophetic dream (which came from GRRM himself)*

*has Aegon I name his dream ‘the song of ice and fire’ - which, as the GRRM himself already confirmed, refers to the Others and Daenerys Targaryen and her dragons*

*reveals that Aegon I’s dream (aka the song of ice and fire) is about a Targaryen king or queen - most likely Daenerys Targaryen, also known as Aegon the Conqueror with teats, Azor Ahai Returned/Princess That Was Promised, the Fire of ASOIAF - uniting humanity against the Others*
