Shiera Seastar || Though she never wed, she had many offers, and several lovers through the years. Duels were fought over the right to sit beside her, men killed themselves after falling from her favor, poets outdid each other writing songs about her beauty. Her most ardent admirer was her half-brother, Bloodraven, who proposed marriage to her half a hundred times. Shiera gave him her bed, but never her hand. It amused her more to make him jealous.

HOUSE TARGARYEN ♔ the nine mistresses of Aegon IV ( part II / II )
Lady Melissa Blackwood, also known as Missy, was a kind girl who befriended Queen Naerys and Princes Daeron and Aemon. She “reigned” for five years as Aegon’s mistress, before being set aside. During her five years as his mistress Melissa gave birth to three children: Mya Rivers, Gwenys Rivers, and a son, Brynden Rivers (b.175 AC), who would later be known as Bloodraven. Lady Bethany Bracken, the younger sister of Lady Barba, had been trained by her father and sister to seduce Aegon and replace Melissa. She caught Aegon’s eye in 177 AC, when he came to visit his son by Barba, and was taken back to King’s Landing. Aegon had grown fat by then, and Bethany was not comfortable with the relationship. She found comfort in the arms of Ser Terrence Toyne of the Kingsguard. They were discovered by the King in 178 AC, who had Bethany and her father executed, and Terrence tortured to death. Lady Jeyne Lothston was the daughter of Falena Stokeworth, Aegon’s first mistress, and Lord Lucas Lothston, (though some would claim Aegon himself was the father) and only fourteen when brought to court in 178 AC. She became Aegon’s mistress, but not for long as she caught the pox from Aegon, who had caught it from a whore he’d been seeing since Lady Bethany’s death. Jeyne and her family were sent away from court quickly after. Serenei of Lys was brought to court by Aegon’s newest Hand, Lord Jon Hightower. Serenei was said to be a sorceress, and would go on to die in childbirth with the last of the King’s acknowledged bastards, her daughter Shiera Seastar.
Lady Betha became known as Black Betha for her dark eyes and raven hair. When wed in 220 AC, the bride was nineteen and Aegon twenty, so far down the line of succession that the match provoked no opposition. Betha Blackwood’s children proved to be as stubborn as their mother, and like their father, chose to follow their hearts when choosing mates.

BOOK!DAENERYS in A Game of Thrones vs. SHOW!DAENERYS in the first season of Game of Thrones
Viktoriya Novikova was around 14 when The Little Mermaid (1976) was filmed, which makes her an age-accurate fancast for book!Daenerys (who is 13-14 in A Game of Thrones).
By comparison, Emilia Clarke was 23-24 during the filming of the first season of Game of Thrones.
