Daenys Targaryen was known as the firstborn of Viserys and Aemma, but rumors swirled in the shadows of the court about the princess. Many whispered that she was the bastard daughter of the Rogue Prince, handed over to Viserys to raise. However, there was one certainty among the rumors: Daenys was a child of fire, with snow-white hair and a cunning far beyond her years.

Known as the terror of violet eyes, she had learned to play the game of thrones from a young age, determined to emerge victorious. Her personal handmaiden was Cassandra Stark, one of the sisters of Cregan Stark, the next King in the North. Cassandra, born in Winterfell and raised in King's Landing, was the third daughter of House Stark.

The Stark siblings numbered only four: the eldest, Rickon Stark, chose to serve as a squire to the princess and castle guard, rather than involve himself in the diplomacy and governance of the North. The second eldest, Cregan Stark, was destined to be the future King of the North. The third, Cassandra Stark, was Daenys's closest friend and handmaiden. And finally, not least, the youngest, Lyra Stark, a sharp child and a warrior-in-training.
