Her Story

Princess Princess Rhaenys Targaryen, remembered by history as The Queen Who Never Was, was the daughter of Prince Aemon Targaryen and Lady Jocelyn Baratheon. She lived a life of strength, wisdom, and courage, and though denied the crown, she carried herself with the grace and dignity of a true queen.

Rhaenys was married to Lord Corlys Velaryon of Driftmark, and together they built a powerful legacy. She was also a dragonrider, bonded with Meleys, the Red Queen, with whom she shared an unbreakable bond until her final day.
