Lady Johanna Lannister was born to Lord Tywin Lannister and Princess Daella Targaryen his first wife.
Lady Johanna held no Lannister looks thus, Aerys II the Mad King demanded she marry his second born son the Prince Daemon Targaryen.
10 moons afte...
Johanna stood before a mirror as she is dressed in her house colours, red and gold. The fabric was a gold so pale it was almost white as it held swirls of red thread that could be seen as fire. It was two months after the fall of her beloved husband's house and the rise of her husband to be's house.
She wondered what Daemon's reaction was when he heard of her coming wedding.
"Brother?" Viserys asked when he saw his brother's face pale and the raven letter in his hand was crumpled. His mother who had barely survived the birth of her only daughter Daenerys took the paper from her oldest surviving son and read it before her eyes shot to Daemon who took deep steadying breaths.
"Oh my love" the former Queen whispered as she bowed her head "I am so sorry"
"It is written that it is the only way she can keep our children so she holds no blame, only Rhaegar does." Daemon spits in disgust at the thought of his older brother.
Johanna looks down as a soft red veil is placed over her hair, Robert had ordered it unable to look at her Targaryen hair. Her name may be Lannister but she was pure Targaryen, with their hair and eyes.
"Mother?" Johanna looks around to see Aegon and Rhaenyra watching her, dressed in black clothes with hinted flakes of red. They were no longer allowed wear red and black the colours of their house. So Johanna chose to put them in Blacks with hints of red or Reds with hints of black. They were not so obvious that Robert ordered their clothes burnt as he had when he had first came to power.
"Yes?" Johanna asks as she looks back at the mirror as she smoothes down the sides of her dress.
"We do not cower with fear" Aegon's words make Johanna smile as she looks back at them with a wink which makes them smile. They were to leave her soon, as they were almost 10 years old, they were to leave for Casterly Rock with their grandfather who had offered to take them.
"No we do not, you are wise Aegon. Your father would be proud" her words make Aegon beam with pride as he goes back to playing chess with his twin who makes him groan when she puts him into a check-mate.
Smiling at the sight she looks around as Lady Tyrin, Lady Daena and her younger sister Cersei who has a sour look on her face walk into her chambers. The first two of her ladies are carrying her maiden cloak as Cersei carries a necklace that belonged to her mother Princess Daella.
Taking a deep breath she steps off the stool and lowers herself slightly as her ladies clasp the maiden cloak around her neck as she takes the necklace from Cersei looking down at it as she runs a thumb over the dragon face made of pure gold with rubies for it's eyes and orange diamond for fire that comes from its mouth.
"You could be hanged for that necklace" Cersei tells Johanna who looks up at her "I may not like you or know you but you are still my sister and I do not wish to see you harmed"
"What more can he do? If he hurts me or my children he will have the West in arms along with Dorne who are still against him due to the Princess Elia and her children." Johanna says as she clasps her necklace around her neck "And besides it is my mother's necklace, I wish to have her with me."
Bowing her head Cersei steps back from her sister watching as tears fill Johanna's eyes as she kneels down as her children run over to hug her as they talk to each other in High Valyrian.
That night while Robert whispers "Lyanna" into her ear over and over as she lays there, Johanna thinks of her husband across the water who was drinking himself silly.
