ALYSANNE TARGARYEN, second of her name, was the last living child born to King Viserys Targaryen and his first Wife, Aemma Arryn. She had been born shortly after her Father ascended the Iron Throne after the death of his Grandfather, Jaehaerys Targaryen. Throughout Alysanne's early life, she kept true to her namesake and behaved much like The Good Queen, treating everyone she passed by with a kindness that rivaled her Great–Grandmothers. But as she grew older and experienced the losses of her loved ones that resulted from the selfishness of her own house, she began to grow bitter and bloodthirsty for all that she has lost. Her title of The Good Queen Come Again had shifted to Visenya Reborn. And this is how it all unfolded.
ALYSANNE was only a girl of one and ten when she began to understand that she lived in a man's world. The young girl had known nothing of her place in the world nor did she truly comprehend her duties as the daughter to the King before then. The moment she realized that she would have to follow in the footsteps of all of her ancestors before had hit her full force when her eldest sister, Rhaenyra, was arranged to marry their cousin, Laenor Velaryon. From that moment forth, she realized the kind of value she held to the men around her and to her people, it all becoming more evident the minute Otto Hightower had moved on from mingling with Rhaenyra's life to hers. She was just a chess piece to play with and move around in this intricate game that many were hellbent on winning. Alysanne had no escape and nowhere to run, having no choice but to accept the cards Otto and her Father forced upon her from the moment she was deemed of age.
UPON REACHING the age of seven and ten, Alysanne Targaryen was to be deemed of age to marry, much like her older sister before her. Even before her King Father announced that she was eligible for the taking, many suitors had sent their proposals to him regarding his young Alysanne. She truly was a beauty in the eyes of the people, something she must've inherited from her late Mother. But after many balls and parties that were thrown in her name and in the sake of her securing a good Husband for herself, she never agreed to a proposal. Her Father and Step–Grandsire began to grow impatient with the teen, resulting to arranging her own marriage after many failed attempts at doing so. It had been announced to all of the Seven Kingdoms that Lady Alysanne Targaryen was to be married to young Lord Cregan Stark once King Viserys made a decision on the suitable match for his daughter. Alysanne was determined to not succumb to the unsatisfactory life many of her ancestors before her had. Buttry as hard as she might, Cregan Stark was hard not to succumb to. The couple could give it their best to put on a facade and try with all the power they had within them to not let their forced alliance bring about any new feelings, but the heart always wins.
AFTER HEARING of the challenge to her nephews claim to the throne of Driftmark, Alysanne Targaryen had made her way to King's Landing in support of her sisters second born. She had arrived on dragonback, her loyal mount, Vermithor, thankful to be back in a warm place again. She had been happy to be back home after many moons of being away, basking in the warmth of the Red Keep and her family's open arms. But that happiness soon turned into fear as she began to witness her family tear themselves apart, greed and selfishness beginning to seep through the cracks of the unstable bearings holding them together. The foundation of House Targaryen began to shake once more, slowly but surely crumbling to the ground. And Alysanne would be the only one left to tell the tale.
