BOOK!Rhaenyra & Show Rhaenyra Rant: In my fanfic 'The red queen' as most of my readers know by now is that my Rhaenyra is completely different from the show & is more close with her book counterpart. Because the show creators *cough cough* ryan and Sara don't give her (or any women) in the show there canon qualities being ruthles,selfish, ambitious, vengeful. So I hope I'm giving the characters just in my fic(Comment to let me know) but also as I'm writing them that way it also makes me uncomfortable because of how they are written on the show because in the show they are completely diff from there book self and are shown as caring avoid bloodshed and specifically Rhaenyra I'm taking her show counterpart who is merciful, kind and just and writing her as justifying B&C , vengeful, and selfish which is how I expected her to be on Tv but she's not and I can't help but look at show Rhaenyra as a character I'm taking to change and fit my narative when in truth I'm writing (trying) to make her aline with her Book counterpart which in some ways hurt because I like that she is kind and caring but also that's not how she was described in the book and I'm aiming to give the show, GRRM and my fanfic justice by taking book canon events/book personalities and incorporating them into my fanfic. Anybody relate to this?(I'm trying to explain it as best as I can LOL)
