“as comfortable in ringmail as in silk […] carried the Valyrian longsword Dark Sister”

“Visenya often braided her hair or bound it up in rings”

When the babe at last came forth, she proved indeed a monster: a stillborn girl, twisted and malformed, with a hole in her chest where her heart should have been, and a stubby, scaled tail. Or so Mushroom describes her. - Fire and Blood

"Monstrous," [...] "Twisted. I drew him forth myself. He was scaled like a lizard, blind, with the stub of a tail and small leather wings like the wings of a bat. When I touched him, the flesh sloughed off the bone, and inside he was full of graveworms and the stink of corruption. He had been dead for years." - Daenerys IX, aGoT

Even those who loved her best found Visenya stern, serious, and unforgiving.

Rhaenys was all her sister was not, playful, curious, impulsive, given to flights of fancy.
