house of the dragon Rp

Arryn's House of the Eyrie
Motto: As High as Honor
Symbol: A flying falcon and a white crescent moon on azure blue field.
Headquarters: The Eyrie's Nest — a castle carved into pure rock on top of a mountain, considered impenetrable by land, and the Moongate.
Situation and Characters in the Dance of the Dragons
Period During this period leading up to the civil war, House Arryn is led by a central figure with direct blood ties to the Targaryens:
Lady Jeyne Arryn (often called The Maiden of the Vale):
Role: Lady of the Eyrie and Protector of the Vale.
Relationship with the Targaryens: She is a second cousin of King Viserys and Princess Rhaenys. Because of this proximity of blood and past alliances (her mother was a Targaryen), House Arryn is one of the natural and sworn allies of the Black (Rhaenyra) faction, although the geographical isolation of the Vale requires intense political negotiations to ensure that its armies and knights descend the mountains for war.
The Strategic Weight of the Valley
Natural Defense: The Eyrie is protected by steep trails defended by three smaller fortresses (Moon, Stone, Snow, and Sky Gates) and the brutal climate of the Mountains of the Moon, making it virtually immune to land sieges and impossible for unprepared dragons to take.
The Army: The knights of the Vale are famous for their discipline, gleaming armor, and bravery in cavalry charges. Control of the Vale of Arryn represents a monumental strategic flank to dominate the skies and trade routes of eastern Westeros.

5. Other Strategic Scenarios of Westeros
   As the conflict progresses beyond court conversations, the scenarios expand to:
   Storm's End: The colossal castle embedded in the rocks of the Stormlands, whipped by furious winds and waves, where dangerous diplomatic missions turn into tragedies in the air.
   Winterfell and the North: Cold, silent, and loyal to his oaths, awaiting the raven's call.
   The Riverlands and Riverrun: The vast military maneuvering board that will be cut by armies and dragon ashes.

1. The Red Keep — King's
   Landing The Climate: Claustrophobic, suffocating and dangerous. Each runner seems to have ears and each smile hides a dagger.
   Important Internal Locations:
   The Iron Throne: The central stage of all disputes, where the king languishes and the court swallows for influence.
   King Viserys' Chambers: Where the smell of decaying flesh, poppy smoke, and strong medicine dominates the air, while the monarch oscillates between lucidity and delirium.
   The Privy Council: The table where Otto Hightower, Lord Corlys (when present), Princess Rhaenys, and the other lords duel with words and decrees.
   The Queen's Gardens: Where Queen Alicent walks, breathes in apparent tranquility and weaves silent alliances with knights and lords of the Faith of the Seven.
   The Dragonpit: Located on the outskirts of the city, where colossal beasts like Vhagar and Dreamfyre roar, reminding everyone of the destructive power that the family holds.

   Climate: Cultured, academic, deeply religious and strategically calculating.

Who does NOT follow the Faith of the Seven?
House Targaryen: As we discussed, although they formally converted upon arriving in King's Landing to avoid popular uprisings, the Targaryens were never ardent adherents. They maintained the ancestral customs of Valyria (such as sibling marriage) and saw the official religion more as a political tool than a personal belief. This generated enormous cultural friction with the devotees and with the Green faction.
House Stark and the North: The North of Westeros rejects the Faith of the Seven. They maintain ancestral worship of the Old Gods (the Weirwood/Heart Cups trees), focused on nature, quiet honor, and the absence of built temples or formal priests.

Concept of the Faith of the Seven
Unlike traditional polytheistic religions with separate gods, the Faith of the Seven worships a single deity with seven different factions or aspects, representing the different roles of human life. Each aspect is prayed at specific times:
The Father: Represents justice, judgment and law.
The Mother: Represents fertility, motherhood, compassion and love.
The Warrior: Represents strength, courage, and victory in battles.
The Maiden: Represents innocence, purity and chastity (especially of young women).
The Old Woman: Represents wisdom, discernment and the future.
The Blacksmith: Represents work, craftsmanship, creation and physical strength.
The Stranger: Represents death and the unknown; it is the least loved or understood aspect, but inevitable.
The temples of the religion are called Septs and the priests Septons (men) or Septans (women). The highest leadership of the Faith is in King's Landing, headed by the High Septon (the equivalent of a supreme pontiff or pope).
Which Houses of Westeros believe in her?
The vast majority of the Great Houses and regions of Westeros practice the Faith of the Seven, as it shapes the culture, laws, marriages, and chivalric rituals of the continent. The main devout houses include:
House Hightower (Oldtown): They are the greatest defenders and patrons of the Faith of the Seven in Westeros. It is in Vilavelha that the Starry Sept (former seat of the Faith) and the grandiose Citadel are located. Queen Alicent Hightower and her father Otto are extremely devout, using the moral and religious precepts of the Faith to legitimize their positions and attack the customs of the Targaryens.
House Lannister (Casterly Rock): Deeply aligned with the Septan and chivalric traditions of the Westerlands.
House Baratheon (Storm's End): Traditional followers of the Faith, although with a posture more focused on martial strength (associating a lot with the Warrior aspect).

Marriages between relatives (Inperium/Inbreeding): To preserve the purity of Valyrian blood and the magical power of riding dragons, the Targaryens adopted the ancient custom of marrying brothers to sisters, uncles to nieces, or close cousins (following the tradition of the ancient Lords of Valyria). While the nobility and people of Westeros saw this as incest and abomination, the Targaryens justified it by saying that "the dragon's blood must remain pure."
Relationship to the Faith of the Seven: Although they formally converted to the Faith of the Seven in order to rule King's Landing without constant rebellion (as Aegon the Conqueror did), the Targaryens were never true devoted followers of the dominant religion. They tolerated the Faith and built the Great Sept of Baelor later to appease the people, but in practice they followed their own customs, laws, and worldviews. For them, the laws of the gods of Westeros often did not apply to the "strain of dragons".

House Targaryen is the most emblematic dynasty in Westeros, famous for being the only family of dragonlords to survive the Doom of Valyria and responsible for unifying and ruling the Seven Kingdoms for centuries from the Iron Throne.
Overview of House Targaryen
<a i="0"> Motto: Fire and Blood
Symbol: A three-headed red dragon spitting flames on a black field (representing Aegon the Conqueror and his sister-wives Rhaenys and Visenya).
<a i="1"> Main Headquarters: The Iron Throne (in King's Landing) and the island fortress of Dragonstone.
Origins and History
The Targaryens were an ancient and noble family of dragon lords of the Valyria Empire. Shortly before Valyria was destroyed by an apocalyptic cataclysm known as the Doom, Daenys the Dreamer (an ancestor of the family) had foresight visions of the ruin. The family then migrated with their dragons to the island of Dragonstone, off the east coast of Westeros.
A century later, Aegon the Conqueror set out from Dragonstone with his sisters and wives to conquer and unify the independent Seven Kingdoms, forging the Iron Throne with the swords of defeated enemies and founding a dynasty that would reign for nearly three hundred years.<code></ code>Outstanding Characteristics
Valyrian Blood and Physical Traits: To maintain purity of blood and the power to tame dragons, the Targaryens often practiced marriage between brothers, uncles, and nephews. They are world-renowned for their stunning beauty, with silver or platinum hair and violet or indigo eyes.
<a i="2"> Heat Resistance: Although they are not entirely immune to fire (a common misconception), the Targaryens have an ancestral tolerance far superior to the human average for heat and steam.
The Bond with Dragons: They are the only ones capable of dominating, riding, and controlling dragons through blood ties and commands in the Valyrian language.

5. Lannister House of Casterly
   Rock Motto: Hear me roar! (And the unofficial informal motto: A Lannister always pays his debts.)
   Symbol: A golden lion prancing on a crimson-red field.
   Headquarters: Casterly Rock (The Westerlands).
   Situation in the Period: Rich, influential and owners of inexhaustible gold mines. During this period, they strongly supported the Green faction at court, seeking to expand their political and commercial influence through close ties with the Crown.
6. House Baratheon of Storm's End
   Motto: We Are Fury
   Symbol: A black crowned deer on a golden field.
   Headquarters: Storm's End (The Stormlands).
   Situation in the Period: Descendants of distant Valyrian lineage (through Orys Baratheon), they are fierce warriors, proud and tested by storms. Led by Lord Borros Baratheon in this period, the military support and the dragons that visit Storm's End will decide vital alliances for both sides of the war.
7. Tully House of Riverrun
   Motto: Family, Duty, Honor
   Symbol: A silver trout jumping over waves waved blue and red.
   Headquarters: Riverrun (The River Lands).
   Situation in the Period: Governing the central and vulnerable Riverlands. They are surrounded by local conflicts and the constant pressure to maintain order in a region that serves as a strategic route for armies.
8. Tyrell's House of Highgarden (Highgarden)
   Motto: Grow Strong
   Symbol: A golden rose on a grassy green field.
   Headquarters: Jardim de Cima (A Campina).
   Situation in the Period: Lords of the most fertile and populous lands of Westeros. Although the Reach is divided between loyalty to House Hightower (its local powers in Oldtown) and the Crown, the influence of the Tyrells weighs heavily on the agricultural and economic balance of the realm.

1. House Targaryen of King's Landing and Dragonstone
   Motto: Fire and Blood
   Symbol: A three-headed red dragon on a black field.
   Headquarters: The Iron Throne (King's Landing) / Dragonstone Castle.
   Situation in the Period: Divided against itself. The Black faction (Rhaenyra, Daemon, and their children) rules Dragonstone, while the Greens (Alicent, Aegon, Aemond, Helaena, Daeron) control the capital. They are the only House with the indomitable power of dragons.
2. House Velaryon of Driftmark (Driftmark)
   Motto: The Ancient, The True, The Brave (or often associated with "As Old as Valyria")
   Symbol: A silver seahorse on a navy blue field.
   Headquarters: Derivamarca (Driftmark).
   Situation in the Period: Led by Lord Corlys Velaryon ("The Sea Serpent") and Princess Rhaenys Targaryen ("The Queen Who Never Was"). It is the richest House in Westeros, owner of the largest naval fleet in the world and deeply allied with the Blacks by marriage and blood through Rhaenyra and Daemon.
3. Hightower House of Oldtown)
   Motto: Steel Lights the Birth (or associated with wisdom and vigilance)
   Symbol: A white armored tower with a flame atop a gray-esuma field.
   Headquarters: A Altura (Hightower) in Vilavelha.
   Situation in the Period: One of the oldest, most cultured and influential families, guardian of the Citadel (of the Maesters) and the Faith of the Seven. Led by Sir Otto Hightower and Lord Ormund Hightower. They are at the center of power in King's Landing through Queen Alicent, being the heavens and the mind behind the Green faction.
4. House Stark of Winterfell
   Motto: Winter Is Coming
   Symbol: A gray wolf running on an ice-white field.
   Headquarters: Winterfell (The North).
   Situation in the Period: Ruling the vast, icy North with strict honor and traditional isolation. Though far removed from the intrigues of the court, the weight of their past oaths of loyalty to King Viserys in favor of Rhaenyra will put them on the chessboard in a decisive way when war breaks out.

Name: Helaena Targaryen
Titles: Queen Consort of the Seven Kingdoms, Dragon Knight.
Parents: King Viserys I Targaryen and Queen Alicent Hightower.
House: Targaryen House.
Age: Around 18 to 20 years old (young adult, mother and wife).
Dragon: Dreamfyre (The Dream of Fire, a dazzling female with light blue and silver scales, vast and experienced).
Husband (and brother): Prince Aegon II Targaryen.
Children: The twins Jaehaerys and Jaehaera, (young children).
Siblings: Aegon II, Aemond ("The One-Eyed") and Daeron ("The Bold").
Appearance:
Long, delicate silver hair, violet eyes that often seem to wander to distances no one else sees, with a soft, dreamy, absorbed expression.
She dresses in silks and light dresses, in soft colors (such as pastels, silver and sky blue) or sober garments required by the court, adorned with discreet jewelry.
Personality:
Kind, eccentric, kind-hearted, and deeply oblivious (or uninterested) in the cruel political intrigues that surround her.
Helaena has a peculiar fascination with insects, especially spiders and centipedes, and often speaks of riddles, murmurs, or cryptic prophecies that seem to predict the future (prophetic dreams that she herself does not fully understand, but which carry a terrifying weight).
She is a loving mother devoted to her children, being the only soul in King's Landing who can bring some lightness or respite to the suffocating tension of the castle. However, her emotional fragility makes her one of the most vulnerable and painful victims when the storm of war comes crashing down on her family.

Name: Aemond Targaryen (Aemond the One-Eyed)
Titles: Prince, Protector of the Realm (later), Knight of the greatest living dragon.
Parents: King Viserys I Targaryen and Queen Alicent Hightower.
House: Targaryen House.
Age: Around 17 to 19 years old (a fierce, ruthless, and dangerous young adult).
Dragon: Vhagar (the oldest and largest living dragon in Westeros, veteran of a hundred battles, formidable and gigantic).
Siblings: Aegon II (older brother), Helaena (sister and sister-in-law), and Daeron ("The Bold One").
Appearance:
Tall, slender, with cold, cutting features, flawless silver hair, and a dark leather eye patch covering his left eye socket (lost in his childhood during a fight with his Velaryon cousins). In place of the missing eye, he is said to keep a shiny sapphire (or simply keep the wound hidden under the eye patch).
She dresses in black armor and golden details or sober and elegant clothes in the colors of Greens, always with a rigid, haughty and intimidating posture.
Personality:
Cold, lethal, hyper-competitive, and deeply resentful. Since losing his eye in childhood without seeing any real justice done (other than the mockery he suffered for being the only one without a dragon at the time), Aemond has obsessively trained with the sword until he became a formidable warrior.
He made up for the missing eye by claiming Vhagar—the world's largest dragon—when he was just a boy, which inflated his ego and arrogance to dangerous levels.
He is loyal to his mother (Alicent) and brother (Aegon), but is driven by a burning desire to prove his worth, nurture his long-held hatred for his nephews (Jace, Luke, and Joff), and bathe the kingdom in blood at the slightest hint of provocation. With Vhagar on his back, he is the real rumble of the Greens' war.

Name: Aegon Targaryen (Aegon II)
Titles: Dragonstone Prince (claimed by the Greens), Heir by male primogeniture, Dragon Knight.
Parents: King Viserys I Targaryen and Queen Alicent Hightower.
House: Targaryen House.
Age: Around 20 years old (young adult).
Dragon: Sunfyre (the "Golden One", with gleaming golden scales).
Siblings: Helaena (his sister and wife), Aemond ("The One-Eyed"), and Daeron ("The Bold").
Wife: Princess Helaena Targaryen (his sister).
Children:
With Helaena: Twins Jaehaerys and Jaehaera, (still young)
Half-sister (and rival): Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen.
Appearance:
Tightly cut silver hair, fine features typical of Targaryens, often with dark circles, a bored look, or a face flushed from excessive wine.
He dresses in sumptuous elegance, displaying the gold and green colors of his home, with embroidered capes required by his grandfather Otto and his mother.
Personality:
Hedonistic, cynical, impulsive and initially reluctant to take on the burden of the crown, preferring brothels and King's Port wine.
However, as the father of heir children, he knows that the rival faction (Rhaenyra and Daemon) will represent a death sentence for his entire bloodline should they rise to power. It is this overwhelming pressure—and the relentless manipulation of Alicent and Otto—that pushes him to accept the crown, turning him into the reluctant and dangerous King of the Greens.

Name: Rhaena Targaryen
Titles: Princess, Dragon Knight (later, or keeper of eggs during childhood), Heir to Driftmark on her mother's side.
Parents: Prince Daemon Targaryen and Lady Laena Velaryon.
House: House Targaryen (with strong Velaryon blood).
Age: Around 14 to 16 years old (adolescent, delicate, but carrying a silent inner strength).
Dragon: Instead of hatching an aggressive dragon right away in childhood, she guards a dragon egg that she has been trying to hatch for years (later bonding with Morning, a young, pink dragon).
Twin sister: Baela Targaryen.
Half-siblings: Aegon (the Younger) and Viserys (children from Daemon's marriage to Rhaenyra).
Fiancé: Lucerys Velaryon
Appearance:
Long, light silver hair, soft violet eyes, and an elegant, polished, graceful posture, very reminiscent of the finesse of his late mother, Laena, and the aristocracy of Valyria.
She dresses in refined tunics, noble-cut dresses in shades of deep blue, silver, or Velaryon gray, though she wears more practical attire when she has to travel or deal with chores on Dragonstone.
Personality:
Sweet, observant, patient, and a little more melancholic or cautious than her twin sister Baela.
While Baela is Daemon's fire and drive, Rhaena is more reflective, deeply feeling her mother's absence and the constant pressure of being a Targaryen princess in a world about to go to war.
She carries the quiet anguish of not having had an imposing riding dragon from the cradle (like the other princes), but her persistence and loyalty to her family are unwavering. She prefers diplomacy, discretion, and the protection of her loved ones, but she will not hesitate to defend her home when the blood starts flowing.

Name: Targaryen
Baela Titles: Princess, Dragon Knight, Heir of Driftmark on her mother's side (together with her sister Rhaena).
Parents: Prince Daemon Targaryen and Lady Laena Velaryon.
House: House Targaryen (with strong Velaryon blood).
Age: Around 14 to 16 years old (a brash, courageous teenager with the same inordinate fire as her father).
Dragon: Moondancer (The Moondancer, a young, pale-green, slender, extremely fast and agile female in the air).
Twin sister: Rhaena Targaryen.
Half-siblings: Aegon (the Younger) and Viserys (sons from Daemon's second marriage to Rhaenyra); in addition to their cousins/half-siblings raised in the same circle.
fiancé: Jacaerys Velaryon.
Appearance:
Dark silver curly hair, piercing violet eyes, and a defiant gaze that immediately resembles Daemon's.
He prefers practical riding clothes, light leather armor and dark fabrics, always wearing clothes that facilitate movement for the fight or to fly on top of his dragon.
Personality:
Audacious, courageous, hot-headed and passionate about freedom and the heavens. Baela is often described as the female version of Daemon in her youth: she doesn't turn down a fight, has a sharp tongue, and fierce loyalty to those she loves.
Unlike her twin sister Rhaena (who didn't get to hatch a traditionally strong dragon in childhood), Baela is an active dragon rider and loves the adrenaline rush of flying with Moondancer.
She feels the weight of political tension in Dragonstone, but instead of cowering, she yearns to prove her worth with fire and blood, ready to champion the cause of Rhaenyra and her father.

Name: Joffrey Velaryon (affectionately called Joff)
Titles: Prince, Dragon Knight.
Parents: Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen and Sir Laenor Velaryon (carrying the same accusations of bastardy imposed by the Greens).
House: House Velaryon (with Targaryen blood).
Age: Around 10 to 11 years old (a child/pre-teen, still largely protected from the crude machinations of the court, but who feels the fear and tension around him).
Dragon: Tyraxes (a young, agile dragon, still small, with young, shiny scales).
Siblings: Jacaerys and Lucerys Velaryon (older); in addition to little Aegon and Viserys.

Appearance:
Dark brown curly hair, expressive eyes, and childlike features that have not yet hardened with the harshness of adulthood.
He usually wears comfortable tunics in shades of blue and gray of the Velaryon, always accompanied by wooden toys or imitation swords, dreaming of the day when he can ride Tyraxes in the skies of Westeros.
Personality:
Curious, playful, innocent, and somewhat stubborn. As the youngest of three older siblings, Joffrey still doesn't fully comprehend the scale of the bloodbath that is about to befall his family, though he does notice the constant nervousness of his mother, Rhaenyra, and Daemon's protective fury.
He is deeply attached to his older brothers (Jace and Luke), seeing them as role models, and loves spending time with his dragon Tyraxes. Amidst a world of power-hungry wolves and dragons, he represents the last installment of innocence from that wing in Dragonstone.

Name: Lucerys Velaryon (affectionately called Luke)
Titles: Prince, Heir to Driftmark (by the right of his grandmother Rhaenys and family arrangements), Dragon Knight.
Parents: Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen and Sir Laenor Velaryon (with the same whispers and accusations of bastardy weighing on him and his siblings from the Greens).
House: House Velaryon (with Targaryen blood).
Age: Around 13 to 14 years old (a boy in the transition to adolescence, still sensitive, loyal, and trapped in the weight of expectations greater than he can bear).
Dragon: Arrax (a young, smaller-sized dragon, white and pearly scales with golden reflections and orange fire).
Siblings: Jacaerys (older) and Joffrey (younger); in addition to little Aegon and Viserys.
Bride: Rhaena Targaryen
Appearance:
Dark brown wavy hair, expressive eyes, and a face that still carries the softness of childhood, but which begins to harden under the pressure of living on Dragonstone.
He usually wears comfortable riding tunics or practical clothes in shades of navy blue and gray of the Velaryon, always with the air of someone who prefers to play or train than to have to deal with political intrigues.
Personality:
Sweet, loyal, a little more sensitive and impulsive than his older brother Jace. Luke is deeply attached to his family and feels the palpable fear and tension surrounding his mother.
He tries to act courageously and do his duty, but inside he carries the typical insecurity of his age, especially knowing that he is the constant target of Aemond Targaryen's hatred and grudges in King's Landing (a childhood rivalry that will soon turn into something deadly).
He doesn't have Daemon's natural taste for chaos or the coldness of a politician; He just wants to protect the ones he loves and keep his family together as the world collapses around him.

Name: Jacaerys Velaryon (often called Jace)
Titles: Prince, Dragonstone Heir (after Rhaenyra), Dragon Rider.
Parents: Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen and Sir Laenor Velaryon (though the entire court knows and whispers that her real biological father is Sir Harwin Strong).
House: House Velaryon (with Targaryen blood on his mother's side).
Age: Around 14 to 16 years old (a serious, pre-adult teenager, dealing with the weight of early responsibility).
Dragon: Vermax (a medium-sized dragon, with green scales and reddish wings, agile and faithful).
Siblings: Lucerys and Joffrey Velaryon (younger); and little Aegon and Viserys (half-brothers from Rhaenyra's marriage to Daemon).
Bride: Baela Targaryen
Appearance:
Dark brown, thick curly hair, expressive brown eyes and strong features on his face (characteristics that give him away as the son of Harwin Strong, fueling the gossip of the Greens), combined with the elegant posture of a prince.
He usually wears dark leather riding suits or tunics with the colors and coats of arms of the Velaryon and Targaryen.
Personality:
Brave, intelligent, with a strong sense of duty, and extremely protective of his mother and younger siblings.
He knows perfectly well that whispers of "bastard" surround his head and that his legitimacy is the justification that the Greens use to try to steal his mother's throne. This makes him try to prove his worth all the time, striving to be an exemplary knight, a sensible diplomat, and a leader who can be trusted.
Unlike Daemon's impulsive chaos, Jace tries to act with honor and maturity, feeling the weight that the future of House Targaryen and the peace of the kingdom depend on his next steps.

Name: Rhaenys Targaryen (Rhaenys Velaryon by marriage)
Titles: The Queen Who Never Was, The Uncrowned Queen, Princess of Driftmark, Lady of the Tides.
Parents: Prince Aemon Targaryen (eldest son of Jaehaerys I) and Lady Jocelyn Baratheon.
House: House Targaryen (married to House Velaryon).
Age: Around the age of 50 (mature, haughty, insightful and with an imposing presence that commands respect in any room).
Dragon: Meleys (the "Red Queen", a female with dazzling, cowardly red scales, known to be extremely fast, experienced, and formidable in aerial combat).
Children:
By Lord Corlys Velaryon: Lady Laena Velaryon (deceased) and Sir Laenor Velaryon (deceased).
Appearance:
Silver hair marked by gray strands, tied in majestic hairstyles that show your noble and proud heritage. Deep violet eyes that seem to see through the intentions of others.
He dresses with sumptuous elegance, preferring dark, rich and silver tones, always with heavy and traditional jewels that recall the sea power of the Velaryon and the pure blood of the Targaryens.
Personality:
Cold, intelligent, extremely lucid and owner of a sharp tongue. Rhaenys carries the bitter weight of having been ignored by the Great Council of 101 A.D., which chose Viserys in her place just because she was a woman — which made her deeply skeptical of men's justice and court politics.
Despite her restrained bitterness, she is pragmatic and prioritizes the preservation of her home and her grandchildren (Baela and Rhaena).
He is not intimidated by Daemon's fury or the arrogance of the Hightowers. On the brink of war, she is one of Rhaenyra's most powerful (and unpredictable) allies, swinging the scales of power under the formidable weight of her dragon, Meleys.

Name: Otto Hightower
Titles: Hand of the King (in different periods), Knight of House Hightower, Lord of Oldtown (by secondary lineage).
Parents: Members of the noble Hightower House of Oldtown.
House: Hightower
House Age: Around 60 years old (elderly, marked by political experience, cunning and ruthless rigidity).
Dragon: Does not have a dragon.
Children:
Acquaintances at court: Queen Alicent Hightower and Ser Gwayne Hightower.
Appearance:
Always impeccable, wearing sober, elegant and formal clothes, usually in dark tones combined with discreet details that refer to your home.
Gray and thinning hair, a neatly trimmed beard and cold, analytical and suspicious eyes that seem to calculate the value of each person with whom he speaks. His stance is rigid and polished, exuding the authority of those who rule the kingdom behind the scenes.
Personality:
Extremely ambitious, patient, pragmatic and calculating. For Otto, politics is a long-term chess game, and people are pieces that can be moved or sacrificed for the greater good of House Hightower and the stability of the kingdom (in his view, of course).
He was the great architect of his daughter Alicent's ascension to the throne and nurtures a deep and open dislike for Daemon Targaryen, whom he considers a chaotic monster and an imminent danger to the crown.
He firmly believes that Rhaenyra's coronation will bring Westeros to ruin, and that the only sure alternative for the kingdom—and for the preservation of his own family—is to place Prince Aegon on the Iron Throne, no matter the cost.

Name: Alicent Hightower
Titles: Queen Consort of the Seven Kingdoms, Protector of the Greens.
Parents: Sir Otto Hightower (former Hand of the King) and members of Hightower House of Oldtown.
House: Hightower House (linked to House Targaryen by marriage).
Age: Around 30 years old (mature, elegant, with features hardened by the bitterness of the years at court).
Dragon: Has no dragon of his own (though his children ride formidable beasts, such as Sunfyre, Vhagar, and Helaena mount in Dreamfyre).
Children:
With King Viserys I Targaryen: Aegon II (adult/crown prince of the Greens), Helaena (queen and mother of the twin princes), Aemond (the one-eyed, ruthless, riding Vhagar) and Daeron (the Bold, young man sent to Dorne).
Appearance:
Highly elegant, with impeccable, rigid and structured clothes, almost always sporting the emerald green colors of his house in direct opposition to the red and black of the Targaryens.
Brown hair braided with sophistication and attentive eyes that capture every slightest whisper in the court. Her posture is always upright, restrained, and defensive, reflecting the severe control she tries to maintain over herself and her children.
Personality:
Devoted to the Seven Gods, rigid, proud, and deeply resentful.
In the past, she was Rhaenyra's childhood friend, but the chasm between them turned into a cold and irreconcilable hatred fueled by years of paranoia and the ruthless ambition of her father, Otto.
She protects her own children tooth and nail, genuinely believing that Rhaenyra's ascension to the throne will mean the summary execution of Aegon, Aemond, Helaena and Daeron — which makes her the driving force and political mastermind behind the Green party.
She carries a mask of composure and pity, but inside she is a woman poisoned by distrust and the urgency of securing the future of her bloodline before King Viserys breathes his last.

Name: Viserys I Targaryen
Titles: King of the Andals, the Srhoynar and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm, The Pacifist, The Sick.
Parents: Prince Baelon Targaryen and Princess Alyssa Targaryen (Daemon's older brother).
Home: Targaryen
House Age: Around the mid-50s (aged prematurely by disease, exhausted, and physically consumed).
Dragon: Balerion (The Black Dread), who rode in his youth, but the dragon died of old age decades earlier; Viserys never rode another again.
Children:
With the late Queen Aemma Arryn: Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen.
With Queen Alicent Hightower: Aegon, Helaena, Aemond, and Daeron Targaryen (teenagers and young adults).
Appearance:
A physically ruined man. His silver hair is thin, his beard is disheveled, and his face is marked by festering wounds and deep scars caused by a mysterious, degenerative disease that consumes him from the inside (having lost fingers and some of his flesh over the years).
Wear an eye patch or heavy bandages when the infection reaches the face.
He often wears heavy, loose tunics to hide his extreme thinness and rotting body, leaning heavily on a cane or needing constant help to move to the Iron Throne.
Personality:
Well-meaning, tired, and tragically naïve. Viserys was a peaceful king who wanted to maintain harmony in his family above all else, but his refusal to face the unforgiving reality of the court allowed the hatred between the Blacks and the Greens to grow unchecked.
He feels deep guilt over the death of his first wife, Aemma, which led him to name Rhaenyra as his heir and to cling to that decision with an almost desperate stubbornness, even as he sees the kingdom fragment because of it.
He spends his days carving miniatures of Valyria on wood, obsessed with the past and the lost glories of the old house, while ignoring (or not seeing) that his wife, his best friend and his mother are con

She is almost always dressed in black and red Valyrian armor, accompanied by the infamous Valyrian steel sword, Dark Sister, attached to her waist.
Personality:
Impetuous, arrogant, charismatic, and dangerously unpredictable. Daemon is the archetype of the true blood of Valyria: he fears no gods, laws, kings, or men.
He harbors a deep and visceral hatred for the Hightowers (especially Otto and Alicent), seeing them as usurping vermin that have infiltrated the crown.
He is intensely loyal to Rhaenyra — who is his niece, wife, and his true equal in ambition — and acts as the armed wing and the most ruthless strategic mind of the Black party.
He likes to test limits, provoke violent reactions and resolve conflicts at the point of the sword or with fire and blood.

Her expression is almost always harsh, marked by the fatigue of conspiracies and the weight of being the first woman designated heir to the Iron Throne.
Personality:
Proud, stubborn, and deeply aware of her birthright to the throne.
He has developed an iron shell and a bitter cynicism due to years of trials, malicious whispers at court, and the veiled treachery of the Hightowers.
She is fiercely protective of her children — knowing that their legitimacy is the weapon the Greens use to destroy her.
Although she tries to maintain the composure of a true queen, she carries the impatient fire and haughtiness typical of the Targaryens, compounded by the intimidating influence of her uncle and husband, Daemon.
