Valaena radiates an ethereal beauty that echoes her blessing of being Targaryen by blood. Her eyes, a mesmerizing blend of bluish-purple, often described as a soft pale indigo or pastel violet, are shaped like siren's eyes—wide, captivating, and brimming with intensity, hinting at a depth of untold stories. They hold a certain glow, as if they’ve captured the light of a thousand sunsets upon Dragonstone’s shores.

Her platinum hair, a well known trait of House Targaryen, cascades like liquid silver to her mid-back. It gleams with a subtle iridescence under the sun, the strands falling in soft waves that sway with every movement—a reflection of her noble lineage. Whether left loose or adorned with intricate braids befitting her station, her hair is a crown all its own.

  Standing at 5'6" without heels, Valaena possesses a graceful, statuesque frame, carrying herself with a confidence that commands attention without demanding it. Her smile, a rare but enchanting sight, reveals charming dimples that soften her otherwise regal demeanor, adding an approachable warmth to her striking features.

Her wardrobe would feature luxurious fabrics like velvet and brocade, often in rich colors such as crimson or royal blue. The dresses would have fitted bodices showcasing lattice patterns or intricate embroidery, paired with flowing skirts that are both grand and graceful. Puffed sleeves adorned with delicate lace and embellishments would add an air of opulence, while gold threadwork and detailed motifs evoke a timeless elegance.

She always acted gentle and shy as she thought Ser Harwin was nice and would one day teach her protect herself just like how he taught her brothers. But it never came and around when she was between 13 and 14 years. She had overheard her twin brother confront their mother asking if Ser Harwin was their true father. She hasn't seen ser Harwin after that but a part of her felt as if he was. So when she heard the news he was dead she shut down for a while throwing herself in her studies.

Rhaenyra Targaryen| 97 A.C. (35+) | Crown Princess/Queen| Mother|

Originally planned to be named Visenya when asked for her name before Laenor called out 'Valaena' in honor of the Velaryon mother of Aegon the conqueror rhaenyra had been disappointment. Due to this name swap Rhaenyra seemed to not feel as strongly a love for her daughter as she did her son which was fine as Laenor covered and made up for whatever Rhaenyra couldn't provide. This behavior became better as Valaena aged, Rhaenyra noticed her daughter's resemblance to herself and her own mother Aemma Arryn which caused her to start warming to the child more and more as she grew.

Lucerys Velaryon | 118 AC (8+) | Heir of Driftmark | younger brother |

Skynar Velaryon | 120 AC (9+) | | second younger brother |

Skynar is the one sibling who valaena knows would go to war for her without question over a simple heart break or even a broken nail if push comes to shove. He's her precious knight in training, she thinks he is very brave.

Unlike her brother, who favored darker features, Valaena inherited the silver-gold hair of Valyrian ancestry, matching her mother, Rhaenyra Targaryen, and aligning her closely with the lineage of House Velaryon. Her early years in the bustling halls of the Red Keep were marked by fleeting moments with her father, Laenor Velaryon, who hosted tea parties and shared tales of the Velaryon maritime legacy whenever his presence allowed. While Rhaenyra’s focus remained on her duties as heir to the Iron Throne, Valaena began developing her intelligence and artistic inclinations. By the age of seven, she excelled in her studies and began noticing the undercurrents of tension within her family and the court.

Between seven and thirteen, her connection with Ser Harwin Strong deepened when he gifted her a dagger and encouraged her to learn the self-defense combat style of Kali. Valaena took to the lessons eagerly, honing her skills and treasuring the dagger as a symbol of Harwin’s care. However, at thirteen, the whispers surrounding her parentage reached her, revealing that Harwin was widely believed to be her biological father. This revelation, compounded by news of Harwin’s tragic death at Harrenhal, left Valaena devastated and introspective, her lively spirit dimmed by grief. On the night of Aemond Targaryen’s infamous injury, Valaena was painting a mural of the ocean when she learned of her younger brother Lucerys’s involvement. Resolving to protect Lucerys from bullying, she took on the role of his defender, determined to shield him from hostility.
