My Queen 🔥

From moment one, she defines herself by not having a dragon. She feels less useful, less important, less loved than the rest of her family, not helped by the fact she was isolated from her extended family for most of her childhood so she can’t help but judge herself against her parents, her sister, and the many famous dragon riders from Targaryen history. She tries at least 3 or 4 times that we know of to get a dragon (one of which nearly killed her, which I would love to hear more about), rejected every time despite it being so easy for everyone else.

And her family eventually just gives up on her potential. They send her away, tell her to sit and wait, do nothing while they all risk their lives (and after her betrothed has already died!) Corlys even laughs at the idea that she could be Lord of the Tides, which isn’t dragon riding but it is still pretty important and indicative of how little they believe in her. I know they don’t do it out of malice and they have their reasons to send her away but it cuts so deeply for Rhaena after a lifetime of neglect.

At the Vale, she sets off on her own through the dangerous mountains and she finally gets a dragon. She nearly died again doing it but she got one and can go home, be of use to her family, be just as important as the rest of them.

Only to find out she got replaced by literal strangers. Some random drunk guy literally stumbled into a dragon nest and won over a dragon when she couldn’t. After all that, they don’t need her at all. Just as unimportant to the cause as she ever was.

(Also, if they keep the deleted scene of Daemon giving Baela Dark Sister, she could be coming back to her father finally trying to give a shit about them again just for him to give all the praise and his special prized sword to her sister instead of her, who he has always preferred.)

There’s so much potential for interesting drama going into this season. A Rhaena who is even more desperate to stand out among her peers and has to fight among her own team to carve her place in the world since no one else will believe in her, aside from probably Baela. This season will show the growing fractures in Team Black and Rhaena could be a centerpiece of that as the family grows more divided.
