13. "Any Day Now" (The prompt was inspired by an Elvis Presley's song, but you don't have to be.) She wonders when people will start to truly voice their dislike of her, not because she enjoys it (not when even as a child they didn't allow their insults to even be subtle). She wants them to, however, voice their dislike for what they think she is, because it's not really her, because they do not know her, never even tried to get to know her. So she wants them to be as vocal as possible, so that she can be vocal back.

12. "It's not enough to do good; one must do it the right way." - John Viscount Morley, of Blackburn "If I wanted to run away, I would have asked us to run away a long time ago," she tells her family, "but I know who I am supposed to be and-" she pauses "I may not think I can do it, all of you may not think I can do it. Hells, the whole realm does not believe in me, but that matters not. I will save Westeros, I will finish what was started. Now, I'm not doing this for Dany, not completely. I'm doing this for myself above all else. I have to do my duty to the realm, papa. I have every intention to succeeding, there's no other option."

11. Hunger She's not like Rick who has an never-ending appetite, and not like Rhae or Rosa who look like they barely touched their food. She eats, and truly she eats more than enough but she has to because she must keep her strength up no matter what. Her sword is not particularly heavy, but neither is it light. That's the way its been since she started practicing swordsmanship, and it's because she cannot afford to be weak.

10. Daydreams They think she must spend her time thinking of swords and dirt and fighting, because she's the care-free princess they dont expect anything else from her. They're wrong of course (like always), why would she think of those things when she can go fight with swords and get dirty at the same time? No point in wasting time thinking of such things when she can do them. No, she sits sometimes and wonders, really wonders, if she's capable, if she can change anything about the kingdom or herself, but most of all she wonders, wonders long and hard, why it had to be her.

09. Faith She could pray and pray for talent, talent necessary for a proper princess. She learned praying matter not, the only one who could ever change her fate is none other than herself. She could pray for so many things, but in the end it was up to her and her alone.

08. Traps Mama taught her to listen, and listen well, because no one would be on her side and as consequence everyone would try to twist her words. Everything she could say would be wrong one way or another, but mama taught her and taught her well, that the least wrong answer is the one she needs the most. The only one she will need from now on. Words matter mama tells her and she must listen to what she is told and asked, and think before she responds, as quickly as possible. No one will side with her except her family, so she must be prepared, for everyone carries all sorts of daggers, the visible and the subtle.

07. Inner Child You could hear the screams from the yard, the screams of children and the princess. She jumps and runs after them, the children of the cooks, the guards, and her own cousins. She plays with them and makes them laugh, the easiest job she has, the only one that comes naturally to her. The way she throws Gyles into the air and catches him, the way she chases Sun's Tail and Elyanna across the garden. The young love her because she loves them, but love is not enough when people starve across the land. She knows but cannot act for she does not know how. She feels like a child asked to rule something broken.
