𝐥𝐚𝐝𝐲? 𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐒 𝐕𝐀𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐑𝐘𝐒 𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐆𝐀𝐑𝐘𝐄𝐍.

the eldest great-grandchild of the old king jaehaerys & good queen alysanne, named for jaehaerys and valerion, rider of the mighty she-dragon silverwing.

❝ my grandmother was daenerys, the darling of the realm. & i yet remain in the shadows. in my veins run the blood of the conqueror, i am kin of kings — and i will not be ignored. ❞

vaelerys' irrational dislike, former childish hatred, of rhaenys targaryen was caused by young vaelerys' staunch belief that she was destined to ride the dragon meleys. this belief was simply grounded in her childish desires and imagination, but it festered due to other issues; such as with anger and emotional regulation. though rhaenys and meleys bonded before vaelerys' birth (rhaenys is her first cousin, once removed; thus from the elder generation) ... it still enraged her. she knew it was irrational, but the emotions stayed, she actually grew to resent the dislike though she couldn't control it. this complicated, one-sided, dynamic finally abated in 107AC when vaelerys was chosen by her great-grandmother's dragon silverwing and became a rider in her own right. + both alysanne, silverwings former rider, and alyssa targaryen, meleys' former rider, are amongst vaelerys' ancestral idols.
