Helaena targaryen

In 109 AC, Helaena was born to King Viserys I Targaryen and his second wife, Queen Alicent Hightower. She had an older half-sister, Princess Rhaenyra, and an older brother, Prince Aegon, and would have two younger brothers, Prince Aemond and Prince Daeron.

By the age of twelve, Helaena had become a dragonrider and rode the dragon Dreamfyre. In 122 AC, at the age of thirteen, Helaena was married to her older brother Prince Aegon, following the ancient tradition of House Targaryen. Barely a year after her wedding, Helaena gave birth to twins: Jaehaerys and Jaehaera.

On the first day of 127 AC, Helaena's father, King Viserys I, held a feast to celebrate the recovery of his health. According to the court fool Mushroom, after the king had left the feast, Helaena's nephew, Prince Jacaerys Velaryon, asked her for a dance, which her husband and brother, Aegon, took offense to. Later that same year, Helaena gave birth to a third child, a boy named Maelo. On the third day of the third month of 129 AC, Helaena brought her three children to her father's chambers, where the king, the night before his death, entertained her children with a fictional tale about their great-great-grandsire, King Jaehaerys I Targaryen.

Unwilling to accept Aegon as her king, Helaena's half-sister Rhaenyra was also crowned as Queen of the Seven Kingdoms on Dragonstone. While Rhaenyra declared Dowager Queen Alicent and Helaena's grandfather, Ser Otto Hightower, to be traitors, she expressed willingness to forgive Helaena and her siblings, as long as they came to Dragonstone and swore fealty to her. When Grand Maester Orwyle suggested traveling to Dragonstone to make Rhaenyra give up her claim, Helaena spoke in favor of his plan, together with her mother, after which King Aegon reluctantly agreed to send the Grand Maester under a peace banner.

Helaena Targaryen from "Dance of the Dragons" is described as having fair skin, long silver-gold hair, and violet eyes that shine with an otherworldly beauty. She possesses a regal bearing, with elegant features and a delicate frame that exudes grace and nobility. Her clothing is often extravagant and befitting of her royal status, adorned with jewels and fine fabrics that highlight her striking appearance.

At the age of thirteen, Helaena is described as a pleasant and happy girl. She is loved by the smallfolk during her time as queen. Helaena is also described as an excellent mother, suggesting that she has a nurturing and caring personality. This is evident in her interactions with her children, where she is seen to be attentive and loving towards them. Helaena is also shown to be appearance-conscious, as she becomes self-conscious about her weight gain and tries to lose weight by fasting. This suggests that she has a concern for her physical appearance and may be prone to body image issues. In terms of politics, Helaena is portrayed as being disinterested and uninvolved. She is often seen daydreaming or distracted during important meetings, suggesting that she lacks focus and interest in political matters. However, she does show some concern for her family’s well-being, as evidenced by her reaction to the conflict between her husband and nephew.
