#they didn't make lissa blonde .... i was looking forward to using her as a dany fc :

[witchqueenvisenya]

daenerys targaryen & vasilisa dragomir

being the (supposed) last of their powerful dragon associated royal families, connected to fire as a symbol of love and protection in the form of dragons for dany and in lissa's case, her partner, christian ozera, whose element as a moroi vampire is fire. not to mention the subsequent dilemmas both face with these connections to fire; problems that dany encounters with raising three dragons all on her own, and the social ostracization lissa faces for standing by christian. being iconic blondes. also, having very intuitive and wise (for their age) friends in the form of rose hathaway and missandei of naath whom they both love very much. both were born princesses but rose to become queens. lissa is a spirit user which empowers her to be able to heal people with her touch, which can be a parallel to dany going out among the sick people outside meereen and helping them on her own. both are closely connected to mental health issues, though in different ways. using her powers naturally makes lissa more susceptible to darker moods and self-harm whereas dany fears becoming like her father, aerys ii, who is known more commonly as "the mad king". lissa disdains the stuffy upper class circles that most moroi royals frequent and is idealistic in wanting equality for all people, be they moroi, or dhampir, royal or non-royal. dany wants to be on an equal level with her people, as said by grrm himself. she is also idealistic to a point in imagining westeros to be a beautiful, better place, though as seen in her arc, she is able to quickly adapt to her circumstances and work forwards. both lissa and dany are very skilled in social situations, able to please different sorts of people because they have a keen sense of what people require and how to appeal to them. lissa doesn't like playing games with the higher ups but she maintains her calm and poise and does it anyway; same as dany, who would rather not play the game of thrones, and works in ways that go above and beyond what any noble in asoiaf would do to help people. both are self-sacrificing. lissa continues using her powers in order to heal people, even though it takes a toll on her and requires her to go to regular counselling sessions. dany continues to compromise with the meereenese nobles to the point of sacrificing her bodily autonomy for the sake of peace in meereen.
