#to be clear I don't think Alyssa was ugly and actually think her differences make her more interesting

I say this with the greatest amount of love possible, but that lady in Daemon's vision was way too pretty to be Alyssa. Canon Alyssa didn't have the conventional white blonde Targaryen hair and her nose was crooked from having been broken. It was hard to tell but it also didn't look like the woman in the vision had heterochromia either. I want to think the show is using that to make a point about what Alys said later about Daemon never knowing his mother and his tendency to emphasize the ideal stereotype of a "true Targaryen" that even his own mother didn't truly fulfill, but idk if I trust the show to be smart enough to truly make that parallel.
