Regions of Westeros: the Riverlands

Stretching from the Neck to the banks of the Blackwater, and east to the borders of the Vale, the riverlands are the beating heart of Westeros. No other land in the Seven Kingdoms has seen so many battles, nor so many petty kings and royal houses rising and falling. The causes of this are clear. Rich and fertile, the riverlands border on every other realm in the Seven Kingdoms save Dorne, yet have few natural boundaries to deter invasion. The waters of the Trident make the lands ripe for settlement, farming, and conquest, whilst the river's three branches stimulate trade and travel during peacetime, and serve as both roads and barriers in times of war.

The Doom in our Blood comes Back: The three daughters of Queen's Rhaenyra

Notwithstanding, I posit that it is appropriate to formally present the remaining trio of the progeny of Queen Rhaenyra and Prince Daemon, who despite their gender and age, emerged as prime protagonists in the political landscape of Westeros, garnering comparable, if not greater, significance than their elder brothers.

[...]

The last of the Queen's three daughters, and the elder by a few minutes, is the one we know the most about.

 Numerous stories and ballads have been crafted about Princess Baela Targaryen, both during and after her life, and a plethora of rumours—some true, others false—have circulated regarding her personality and demeanour. Despite the embellishments of poets, numerous portraits confirm the tales of her striking beauty.

Unlike her twin sister Rhaena, who predominantly inherited their mother's delicate features, Princess Baela possessed more defined and slightly angular features, reminiscent of her formidable father, Prince Daemon. While the two twins were initially indistinguishable as children, in adulthood, their features diverged.

 Although both were uncommonly beautiful, the charm they radiated was distinctly different.

If Princess Rhaena's features were harmonious and sweet, resembling a flower, Princess Baela's were notably sharper and more defined—keen as knives, mirroring the magnetic and intense gaze that revealed her every intention, even the most violent. Another striking resemblance to her father Daemon—and occasionally her uncle Aemond—was the profile of her nose, subtly more prominent and sinuous than her sisters', resembling the profile of a dragon. This feature became even more pronounced after Uncle Aemond, during a tournament in 137 A.D., struck her with the hilt of his sword, breaking her nasal bridge, and leading to an uneven and irreparable alteration of its shape.

[...]

Princess Rhaena Targaryen, a figure of prominence on the political scene of Westeros, had previously been introduced, having wed her mother's half-brother at the tender age of sixteen, elevating her to the esteemed position of Lady of Oldtown.

Despite the near-identical appearance she shared with her twin sister Baela during their youth, Rhaena's features evolved into a distinct manifestation of delicate feminine beauty, gifts of her mother. Her rounded and soft cheekbones, complemented by large, round eyes with lighter pupils, defined a countenance captured in numerous paintings adorning the Hightower. A small, upward nose and a tiny, pulpy mouth completed her exquisite profile, a testament to her captivating allure.

Intelligent and shrewd like her brother Viserys, Rhaena concealed her thoughtful nature with affability, recognizing societal biases against thoughtful women. Differing from her twin, she exhibited patience and conciliation, relying on charm rather than coercion. This adeptness in politics and scheming, combined with natural talents in diplomacy, surpassed even her brother's, who ascended to the role of Hand at twenty.

[...]

As per her father Daemon's account, Princess Visenya stood out as the one who, among all his progeny alongside Aegon, most closely resembled his wife, Queen Rhaenyra. This remarkable similarity became increasingly apparent as the young princess blossomed into womanhood, earning her the moniker of Rhaenyra's long-lost twin among courtiers.

During that era, the prevailing belief among the Seven Kingdoms' nobility held that the young Visenya, with her sweet and flawless features, beautifully golden locks, soft rosy cheeks, and petite, fleshy allure, was indeed the most captivating maiden in all of Westeros. This sentiment persisted even in comparison to her two elder sisters, who also possessed a charm uncommon to everyone.

A distinctive feature setting the youngest of Queen Rhaenyra’s children apart was her eyes, showcasing two different colors; the right one a darker violet than the left. This rare characteristic, while not as uncommon as one might think, especially among the Royal family, had also been present in her late grandmother, Princess Alyssa, and her young cousin Baelor of Harrenhal.

During infancy, Visenya was described as a plump and robust child, but with the onset of puberty, her figure transformed into one more slender and graceful. Nevertheless, she remained notably petite compared to Baela and Rhaena, with a prosperous bosom, though not on par with her mother's.

The young princess gained notoriety for her unusual fondness for crows and ravens, treating them with the care and attention typically reserved for more conventional pets, in stark contrast to her courtly companions who favoured smaller dogs or stoats. Throughout her life, she kept only three crows – Maemarr, Virys, and Garaerys – housed in an elaborate gold cage within her chambers, each named after characters from her beloved Valyrian poem.

Described as a vivacious and amiable girl, Visenya possessed an easy manner of speech and a gentle, sweet voice. However, some accounts noted occasional displays of immature and childish behaviour, potentially linked to her privileged upbringing. Nevertheless, on crucial occasions, she demonstrated the ability to adopt a serious and resolute demeanour.

flowers - Visenya the Dreamer and Jaehaera the Silent

Having encountered prejudice and occasional hostility due to her mismatched eyes, the young princess developed an early and profound sense of justice, detesting any form of bullying, particularly when directed at the vulnerable. Her close bond with her cousin Jaehaera, who suffered from the rare doll disease, became a notable aspect of her life. This condition, characterized by indifference and a childlike demeanor, led to Jaehaera's isolation and mockery from other noblewomen at court. Surprisingly, Visenya, instead of joining in the ridicule, chose to support her cousin. Witnessing Jaehaera's mistreatment, she persuaded her mother to make Jaehaera one of her ladies-in-waiting. The decision proved beneficial, as Jaehaera gradually became more sociable under Visenya's influence.
