“But Lord Aenar’s maiden daughter Daenys, known forever afterward as Daenys the Dreamer, had foreseen the destruction of Valyria by fire. And when the Doom came twelve years later, the Targaryens were the only dragonlords to survive”

The floppy ears she chose today were made of sheer white linen, with a fringe of golden tassels. With Jhiqui’s help, she wound the tokar about herself correctly on her third attempt. Irri fetched her crown, wrought in the shape of the three-headed dragon of her House. Its coils were gold, its wings silver, its three heads ivory, onyx, and jade. Dany’s neck and shoulders would be stiff and sore from the weight of it before the day was done. - Daenerys I, ADWD

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".

"Aemon Targaryen, later known as Aemon The True, was the middle born triplet and only male heir of the Targaryen line. He had the pale silver hair and deep indigo eyes of his uncle and grandsire, Prince Rhaegar Targaryen, but still looked very much like his father physically. He wore black, alone or paired with red or purple to match his sisters, and his hair was cut short. He kept his face clean shaven and nails neatly trimmed, and his smile was said to be softer than silk. He loved to travel on dragonback with his mount, Nightweaver. A glorious beast with deep indigo scales and brilliant bronze wings, crests, and horns, the dragon would disappear into the night sky as if he'd become darkness itself.

Aemon was known to sing to his sisters and his dragon, serenading them with a deep and soulful voice that they all found calming. He and his younger sister, Daenys, would sing together often, or he would accompany her with his dragon carved flute while she sang. He was known to be generous, adventurous, loyal, and above all, honest. His willingness to dissent with and correct his small council, his readiness to detail why others were operating for personal gains, and refusal to submit to falsities earned him his nickname "Aemon The True".

Aemon looked up to his sister Rhaenyra from the start, training with her under Grey Worm's instruction since he was able to hold a training sword. He would spend hours every day training with spear, sword, and shield - he proved to be completely uninterested in a bow. On the rare occasions he was away from his sisters, Grey Worm was the only one Aemon trusted to protect them. It was often said the boy had found a father in Grey Worm, whose dedication to the Targaryen children was his oath of honor and service to their mother."

"The eldest of the triplets was a fierce warrior and skillful dragonrider. She had silver gold hair like her mother and big brown eyes like her father, and she was often told she resembled her aunt, The Queen of the North, the lady Sansa Stark. It was said the first time she met her aunt, the renowned fighter Arya Stark, she demanded to train with her, although she was only 5 at the time. Her aunt taught her several defensive maneuvers and gifted her with her Valyrian steel dagger before continuing on her adventures at sea. Rhaenyra would also be gifted one of the Valyrian steel swords of her house, Dark Sister, for her 16th name day, and wield both for the rest of her days.

Rhaenyra was outspoken, charming, clever, and extremely protective of her siblings and the dragons they cared for. She often dressed in red, sometimes with black, and always adorned golden jewelry with deep red rubies. She also wore the dragon chain of her mother, the only silver she ever wore. She loved to fight and fly above all else, and her prowess in combat led to tales of her dragon blood extending to her blades.

Her mount was one of the hatchlings of Old Valyria, a she-dragon named Daenyxes who she rode for the first time at age of 7 and every day forward. Daenyxes was said to be the most beautiful dragon since Sunfyre the Golden, and many declared she was Daenerys reborn again as a dragon."
