+1 dragon queen

[conqueress]

Hello, friends! My name's Lena (though as I understand it, there's already one here, so you can call me L), and I've only been on DWRP since June of last year. Is there a new person expiration date? It's probably when the smell fades ...

ANYWAY, I'm bringing you one avenging queen, Daenerys Targaryen, from the slow-moving books that spawned That Show With the Dragons!

Targaryens are famous for their greatness, their madness, and, oh, yes--their dragons! She's coming from just before her final chapter in A Dance With Dragons into the game with the one she's uniquely bonded to, Drogon, who has been very wisely shrunk by ALASTAIR to cat size. He'll still have the temperament of a large, predatory dragon, and will be very confused as to why he can't munch on horses and kids anymore.

For those not canon familiar, Dany's clawed her way out of poverty/obscurity using charisma, opportunism, trickery, and sheer grit. However, while she's a badass, she's also had zero formal training, and has made tons of fiery, bloody mistakes. Her hobbies include: flying on dragonback, freeing slaves en masse, avenging murdered innocents, conquering cities, and burning (people she judges to be) bad guys.

As far as CR goes, Dany will take all kinds. In the past, she's attracted grumpy old men, homicidal jerks, misfits, and oppressed classes who want a protector. She also has a soft spot for innocence. PM me at this account if you ever want to chat at length! ♥

hello lena! i am... also lena 8D; only instead of a badass dragon queen hbic, i play olivia from fire emblem: awakening who is... none of those. (well, she could be queen, depending on the route you take, but i digress—)

i know very little of got except for all the times my brother has gushed about dany, so i'm very excited to see one around! c: i hope we can cr!

[conqueress]

Hi, other Lena! :)

Ahh, your brother has good taste. Dany is my favorite literary wrecking ball, bar none. She'll probably be kind of haughty at first because queen mode is something she can't easily turn off, but she's generally polite enough. Olivia should try talking to her after she's had something to eat and drink! She's been stranded in the grasslands for some time and is kind of wrecked.

[winces]

shh, don't tell my brother that, he's got enough of an ego...

but ah, dany no! :c olivia is the mothering type as well, so she'd definitely fuss over dany to make sure she feels right as rain again! and don't worry about the haughty attitude &madsh; olivia is a peasant/dancer, so she's used to being quite subservient.

[conqueress]

Hahahaha, oh good, a girl to help. She misses her handmaids; she was just trying to make a hat out of grass and failing miserably. 2queenly4self-sufficiency.

She'll have some burns on her body, too. Basically, she's a mess with a dragon and a whip.

[winces]

olivia can help her with those burns! alastair had granted her some healing powers, so you've got a ready motherhen, dany :)

PREPARE THE BBQ

[conqueress]

YES GOOD, SHE'S FAMISHED and Drogon is a pissy teenager stuck in a baby's body, oop.








Hmmmm you look familiar.

[selfimage]

NOPE DIFFERENT

SEE




RIGHT

[conqueress]

Prettier features, same old butt.

[selfimage]

nice butt :(

[conqueress]

HAHAHA THAT FACE

Oh FINE. Come braid her hair and tell her funny stories. She needs it.

[selfimage]

i'm so sad i don't get to use that icon that often.

done & done. bacon sandwiches, hair braids and also burning shit to the ground let's go.

[historiology]

Ah, Dany! ♥

Welcome, Lena/L. It's exciting to see the new apps coming in now, and I'm sure everyone will be happy to help with any questions you might have. I'm Caprica, and I have this here jrpg protag, Sorey from Tales of Zestiria, who has dragons back home but they are. Kind of different plot/backstory wise so he might be a little wary on Drogon regardless of size.

But I also have the resident Magical Girl, Sakura Kinomoto from CLAMP's Cardcaptor Sakura manga series as well.

[conqueress]

Hahaha, I APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE. I feel like Dany should carry a warning sign wherever she goes.

Hi, Caprica! :) Dany thinks he's smart to be wary. Drogon will be behaving like a firebreathing turd when he wakes up small, so everyone should probably just keep their distance for now anyway.

Toss me everyone! Dany needs more girls around her; the men all tend to be trouble.

[historiology]

Some characters kind of do/need to. Yeah. I think most people are aware of GoT and it's general warnings by now though. I myself am up to date, book and show wise, so no worries there.

Please reassure him Drogon isn't actually a dragon as he knows them. Even if Drogon is still hella dangerous etc anyway.

Ah, Dany playing big sis to Sakura could be cute though. Learning/teaching about magic etc. Sorey himself isn't trouble, he's just...reckless and tends to end up in it regardless somehow of his intentions.

[conqueress]

She'd be happy to set the record straight! Dragon story time was her favorite part of spending time with Viserys.

BE CAREFUL WITH MAGIC, SAKURA. She'll learn pretty quickly that not all magic is the grimdark kind from her world, though she'll still be wary. Dany would probably be relatively gentle with Sakura, especially because she misses Missandei already. :(

[historiology]

Yes good. All of this sounds wonderful. I look forward to it.

[beyourrock]

Hello Lena! My Name is Gato and I play Pearl from Steven Universe and Rodimus from Transformers.

I am somewhat familiar with Daenerys' canon, and I am currently reading the first book, half way through it, BUT I am totally fine with spoilers and the like. I can't wait to play with ya!

[conqueress]

Hey, Gato! Having seen all of SU to date, I'm very familiar with Pearl. She's my friend's favorite character, though I tend more toward Amethyst.

Oh, AGOT is so good. I wish I could reread it again for the first time. I hope you enjoy. :)

[ackingcraycray]

Finally someone ready to contain the dargons!!!

Should we come across any. I know we have a dragon in disguise here.

Hi I'm Kabby I play Mabel Pines from Gravity Falls, I hope Dany can show her how to do crazy Dothraki braids one day. She'll earn them too I swear

[conqueress]

Dragon mom is here!

Omg, I love Mabel. Dany will find her sigils sweaters super peculiar AND Mabel will be be the weirdest kid she's ever met, but Dany would love to braid her hair once she's won a victory. :> She'd probably be relatively sweet to her, considering. SHE LIKES KIDS. Bring her your children, said no one, ever.

[ackingcraycray]

l;kjaxf LISTEN SHE IS EMPIRICALLY NOT THE WEIRDEST KID HERE...she's just the loudest...still weird though.

But omg yes I love Dany too, I'm only familiar with the HBO edition so forgive me if I make an incorrect assumption somewhere, but!!! She's so great, I can't wait to see her take the reins of this crazy interdimensional ride. And tiny Drogon, weh!!! Mabel will continually attempt to pet him and likely get lit on fire for it every time, sorry

[conqueress]

ALWAYS WEIRD. It's why I love her.

No worries! Book Dany is less prone to outward temper tantrums, more cautious, and more cunning than show Dany is. Her introspection is also full of LOL WHAT AM I DOING?? thoughts. But show Dany is way closer to her book counterpart than some of the other characters are, so you have the general picture for sure!

Oh god no, Mabel. A DRAGON IS NO PET, SOMETHING SOMETHING FIRE MADE FLESH.

[evantuality]

Hellooo! I am Kat, fellow newbie to the game. High five for same app cycle!

I play Evan, who will likely be endlessly curious about Daenerys's little dragon friend. Until Drogon bites him or something, and then he'll probably be a huffy little prick about it for a while.

Good to meet you!

[conqueress]

Hey, new kid Kat! :)

Fire immunity, huh? Dany is going to be super stern on that front, but then again, she once tried to have Drogon put in chains for eating a kid. It's not something she really wants to see again, even if she's ... coming around to the point where she accepts that she will. Oops.

[evantuality]

At the very least Drogon isn't at much risk of that here! He'd have to go to some serious effort to eat an entire kid. Be at it for days, probably.

[conqueress]

Don't tempt him, Evan. He's super huffy over having to eat only rats and birds again, and he's basically a grumpy teenager in a small child's body.

ON THE OTHER HAND, he will probably be fascinating, if prickly.

[evantuality]

On the one hand, if he flames Evan, Evan will mostly just be pissed that his shirt from home is singed!

On the other hand, he isn't nearly as immune to pointy little teeth as he is to fire.

[adoube]

...I love the prospect of Daenerys in the game, but ngl, the one of Drogon in cat size with her completely takes my cake.

Welcome to Futuro!

[conqueress]

Picture your pissiest of teenagers stuck in a child's body. He's so mad. Frankly, so is she. What is this shit? She just started flying him on the regular, and now she has to fly like mere mortals do: only in her dreams.

Thank you! :)

[onblackwings]

oh my god i have been SO THRILLED about roni's hey guys maybe there's a dany on the way plurks, AND NOW YOU'RE HERE AND I'M EVEN MORE THRILLED

hello i'm liz!! i do this lady here, who is as you might possibly guess a dragon, but also has a human form for when that's super inconvenient. i've also got ramir/heavyhitter who is an oc BUT I THINK YOU CAN TELL WHERE MY EXCITEMENT MAINLY LIES. i'm super jazzed to have you here! :D

[conqueress]

I just read your info, oh my god oh my god. I wonder how they'll work out. Dany is certainly daring and prideful enough to attempt getting along with (and maybe learning from) a real, talking dragon. Not to mention, her own dragon is black and sliiightly evil, and scares the living shit out of people back in her world. AS YOU KNOW!!

ANYWAY, hi, Liz! :D I'm jazzed to be here.

[heavyhitter]

i can only imagine they will get along NOT WELL because khisanth is a huge bundle of pride and unpleasantness, but you never know!! and if so, that's half the fun right :D

also i totally just remembered i've shrunk khisanth to futuro-drogon-size for like five minutes on the current event log, IF YOU EVER WANTED TO START THEM OFF ON A .. WEIRD NOTE, we could totally use that (B

[conqueress]

It would somewhat disappoint her if a dragon didn't like her, which would make me laugh. BUT I MEAN, she's so so stuck up her own ~blood of the dragon~ butt that it wouldn't put her out for long. SHE HAS THREE. SORT OF. She might still try and learn a few things, though.

HAHAHA, I'll have a look! Portable Drogon will hiss. WHAT IS THIS THING DOING IN HIS TERRITORY??

[respired]

Hi, Lena!! I love Dany and I love that Drogon is cat-sized and that she/you are here c: I'm lyn & I play this elf from Warcraft, Koltira Deathweaver, as well as Prince Anduin Wrynn (fearward), also of Warcraft. The latter has had significant experience with dragons, albeit ... mostly negative, so that's fun.

[conqueress]

Hi, Lyn! :D I'm glad that you love Dany, because she's here to make you all suffer through her purple prose way of speaking and general blood of the dragon pridefulness.

"Mostly negative"--that describes his experience and basically all of ASOIAF's experience; oops. But now that Drogon is travel-sized again, Dany's expecting people to come in droves to coo over the adorable death machine. He'll be trying to maintain his dignity in the face of being the size he was three years ago.

[fearward]

The dragon he's spent the most time with was actually about domestic pet size, too! So ... wariness remains. But Dany herself is a 100 pct cutie c:

[dishearten]

DANY!!! I love the books so much more than the show (I only watched one episode) and I am excited to see her in action! We'll see how she and Graham get along.

Welcome to the game, Lena!

[conqueress]

!!!! I am so so so sorry! I thought I'd replied to everything here! Holy balls, what a failure. :( Thanks for the welcome; I hope you don't think I was ignoring you!

The show does some things well, IMO, and even improves upon certain characters, but Dany isn't one of them. She's such an introspective, introverted character that it just doesn't translate well to a script.

Please, feel free to launch Graham her way! I have a top level, and I think you do, too?

[dishearten]

No worries, stuff gets lost all the time. :)

Yeah I was disappointed in some changes in the very first episode and that turned me off of it entirely. Dany's casting was pretty magnificent, though. <3_<3

I do! I was thinking of throwing him your way but saw you got plenty of hits so didn't want to overwhelm you. I still can, though!

[kamiizumi]

I AM SO HAPPY TO SEE SOME ASOIAF IN HERE hi, I'm Sam and I play our local ninja turtle.

[conqueress]

I'm failing so hard; I swear I thought I'd replied to everything here. :( GOOD JOB, self.

SO THIS IS SUPER LATE, but I'm happy to bring some ASOIAF in here! Hi, Sam!We'll mash them together at some point, and she'll be so weirded out by a talking turtle. BUT, she's met Khisanth, so at least he won't be the first talking animal she meets. Gotta take this world in queenly stride.
