BOOK!DAENERYS in A Game of Thrones vs. SHOW!DAENERYS in the first season of Game of Thrones

Viktoriya Novikova was around 14 when The Little Mermaid (1976) was filmed, making her an age-accurate fancast for book!Daenerys (who is 13-14 in A Game of Thrones).

By comparison, Emilia Clarke was 23-24 during the filming of the first season of Game of Thrones.

Dany looked at the horizon with despair. They had lost a third of their number, and still the waste stretched before them, bleak and red and endless. The comet mocks my hopes, she thought, lifting her eyes to where it scored the sky. Have I crossed half the world and seen the birth of dragons only to die with them in this hard hot desert? She would not believe it.

THUSO MBEDU as DAENERYS TARGARYEN

But in recent years, it has occurred to me from time to time that it might have made for an interesting twist if instead I had made the dragonlords of Valyria… and therefore the Targaryens… black.

— George R. R. Martin

DAENERYS TARGARYEN + Moon references in her chapters

“A trader from Qarth once told me that dragons came from the moon,” blond Doreah said as she warmed a towel over the fire. […] “He told me the moon was an egg, Khaleesi,” the Lysene girl said. “Once there were two moons in the sky, but one wandered too close to the sun and cracked from the heat. A thousand thousand dragons poured forth, and drank the fire of the sun. That is why dragons breathe flame. One day the other moon will kiss the sun too, and then it will crack and the dragons will return.” The two Dothraki girls giggled and laughed. “You are foolish strawhead slave,” Irri said. “Moon is no egg. Moon is god, woman wife of sun. It is known.” “It is known,” Jhiqui agreed. — AGOT, Daenerys III

The khal laughed as he swung down off his stallion and showed her the scars on his leg where the hrakkar had raked him through his leggings. “I shall make you a cloak of its skin, moon of my life,” he swore. — AGOT, Daenerys VI

~

As the moon rose above the grasslands, Dany slipped at last into a restless sleep. She dreamed. All her cares fell away from her, and all her pains as well, and she seemed to float upward into the sky. She was flying once again, spinning, laughing, dancing, as the stars wheeled around her and whispered secrets in her ear. — ADWD, Daenerys X

George R. R. Martin to Amazon.co.uk: The whole point of the scene in A Game of Thrones where Daenerys hatches the dragons is that she makes the magic up as she goes along; she is someone who really might do anything.

George R. R. Martin in an online Q&A from 1999: The birth of Dany’s dragons was unique, magical, wonderous, a miracle. She is called The Unburnt because she walked into the flames and lived.

George R. R. Martin to Desde Hollywood: Magic is coming more and more to the fore. Magic has awakened when the dragons awoken.

Daenerys Targaryen + book quotes and statements by GRRM that show that she has all the characteristics that (according to her creator) define a good king (in/s/p.)

GRRM at the “House of the Dragon” Comic-Con panel: A good king is someone who regards being king as a duty rather than a privilege that they are entitled to. A duty to the realm to dispense justice and peace, and occasionally do boring things like building roads and sanitation in King’s Landing and all that.

~

GRRM on which of his characters would be suitable leaders in modern times: You know, probably Tyrion. [...] Dany would also be an interesting choice if we could bring her dragons along. The recent American election [of 2016] might have turned out very different if Hillary Clinton had dragons. [as the linked meta above shows, GRRM's decision to mention Dany - especially when he could have chosen to name so many other characters - alongside Tyrion (who he deems the most suitable leader) highlights her portrayal as a good ruler and acknowledges that, with the right person, dragons can be used for good.]

~

GRRM to History of Westeros: I mean, it’s… you know, I had a lot of input in the beginning of Game of Thrones, partly cause I had these books out there. Um, but at a certain point, as the show went on, I, I found I had less and less influence uh, until by the end, I really didn’t even know what, what was going on. I, I… Some of these things I watched like everybody else, and ‘oh, okay.'
