   Summary

   Showing similar signs of infertility as her mother, her father, King Viserys allowed her to live her life unmarried, fearing her death as well. To escape the court's prying eyes, she moved to Old Town with her younger half brother Daeron. There she met Gwayne, the perfect man. With a worried stricken mind, she was scared that he wouldn't accept her due to her struggles.
   Once war breaks out, she felt stuck, in between the loyalty she has to her blood sister and the love of her life.

   no name nor descriptions of looks so can be read as an x reader or x oc. whatever you choose
   I do not read the books. I am basing most of the fic off of own personal beliefs of his character, and what I have seen so far in the show. (i do a bit of research here and there though.)
