Biography
Born on Dragonstone in 170 AC, Daena is the eldest daughter of Aenar Targaryen and Princess Naerys Velaryon, and their second child.

Surpassingly lovely even from a young age, Daena was spoiled by her family and enjoyed a very privileged upbringing, never knowing anything of the hardships of the world. She was taught to sing, dance, embroider, and play the harp, and her Septa remarked with pleasure that she excelled at all of them. Her Septa hesitated to compliment her on her personal qualities, however, for even then Daena proved to be spiteful, vain, and arrogant. She’d punish playmates she disliked or make wry remarks about the adults around her regularly, and use her considerable charm to manipulate people and get her way. (Gregarious, Deceptive)

For years, it seemed as if Daena’s future was certain: she would marry her brother Daemon and rule Dragonstone with him once they were of age. She wanted nothing else. However, that would not come to pass. In 184 AC, Daemon joined the Kingsguard, leaving their younger brother Aegor to inherit Dragonstone.

Daena was devastated over the perceived betrayal. Other women would have sunk into a deep depression, but Daena’s behavior grew increasingly wild instead. Whereas once she’d only had eyes for Daemon, now she had several besotted admirers who she toyed with, as well as a gaggle of friends that imitated her in everything. (Romance)

Her concerned parents betrothed her to a Bar Emmon first, hoping that would curb her behavior. Daena scared the man off, as she did for every suitor that followed. Finally, when she was twenty, they managed to marry her off to her cousin, Rhaegar Targaryen.

Notoriously youthful in appearance, it is rumored that she practices dark arts. The reality is far more mundane: Daena spends a lot of time in gardens, finding herbs and plants that can prove useful, as she is a gifted healer. (Botany, Medicine)
