The youngest of the triplets and second born daughter of Daenerys I Targaryen was the dark haired Daenys. Save a single lock of silver, her hair was that of her father - a dark and curly mane that grew longer as she grew older. But her resemblance to her mother was undeniably apparent to all who saw her - a dark haired Daenerys born again, the same violet eyes, the same shaped face, even her voice sounded like that of the Dragon Queen.
Daenys was named for Daenys the Dreamer, of House Targaryen of Valyria of Old, and like her name sake, was a Dreamer - she was said to live halfway between this world and the that of the Gods, and walk amongst visions like like a shepherd does their flock. She was bound to the she-dragon, Dreamflame - a stunning violet and shining copper beast that had been Daenys' companion since her own birth. Daenys, while bound to Dreamflame, was also unusually close with all the hatchlings - even Daenyxes and Nightweaver, who were to be bound to Rhaenyra and Aemon, would respond to her calls and commands. She would speak and sing to the dragons, and it was said hers was the fairest voice in an age or more - but whether this was due to her vocal ability, or the way her ethereal tones themselves that calmed the dragons and men alike, was unclear to those who heard tell of it elsewhere. She would come to hatch more than a score of dragon eggs in her lifetime, and would be credited with more discoveries of secrets lost from House Targaryen than any has or likely will be again - whether due to long lost discoveries on Dragonstone, her dragon dreams, or possibly, as some small folk guessed, told to her by the dragons themselves.
Daenys was usually adorned in intricately stitched violet gowns, or sometimes white ones, and wore jewelry of bright silver with amethysts, sapphires, and pearls. She had several rings she always wore, including the silver and pearl ring of her late mother, and another with stones matching the Valyrian hatchlings eggs that was gifted to her by the Red Priestess, Mekarie.
Daenys would only train with a bow, seeking the truest aim she could muster, and while avoiding violence at the same time. She openly detested hand-to-hand combat and training, but she would eventually carry a hidden dagger to quell the concerns of her siblings, who worried about her peaceful nature making her a target for their foes. A bejeweled and newly forged Valyrian steel blade designed by Rhaenyra and Aemon, it was crafted by one of two living smiths in the world still able to forge it. They gifted it to her on her 12th name day, and she named it "Dragon's Claw".
