Background

Genius and madness are often described as two sides of the same coin. It is said that every time a Targaryen is born, the gods toss this coin and the world holds its breath to see how it will land. For some in the line, like Aegon I and Jaehaerys I, the coin flips in their favor, bestowing upon them vigor, wit, and courage. For some others, however, the coin lands on the other face…

For Rhaesantha Targaryen, the coin hasn't /quite/ landed yet, but to imagine it going one way or the other is easy enough; she's always been the perfect mix of ups and downs, highs and lows that turn the coin from one face to the other. Born on Dragonstone in July 94 AL, Rhaesantha was possessed of vitality and razor wit…but at a price. A cousin to the main line issue, raised primarily on Dragonstone, Rhaesantha showed from an early age a proclivity for fits of emotion, ups and downs, huge swings from inconsolable depression to boundless energy. Though her parents tried their best to 'fix' their daughter's problem, they were unable. In all other things, Rhaesantha was a normal, occasionally even remarkable young woman.

She took to schooling on the noble houses and history of Westeros and House Targaryen naturally. Needlework and music were like second nature to her. It was in the creative subjects where she truly thrived, however. In these, she found an outlet for all the things she saw in her head, dreams and visions, images of places and people, past, present, and future. All the places she could read about, but never travel to. In this, her episodes abated somewhat, allowing more normalcy to her life.

Now an intelligent, attractive woman of 26 young years - single still over rumors of nascent madness, or a sickness - Rhaesantha has traveled to Oldtown to learn from the artists and travelers to the city. Having studied under many, if not all, of the renowned artists of King's Landing, she seeks more. It's a change of scenery, and perhaps also a chance for the maesters to poke at her mind a bit, to see if she's mad yet…or just teetering on the brink.

Musical Inspiration

  • Avenged Sevenfold - "Shepherd of Fire"

let's take a moment and break the ice
so my intentions are known
see I have pity in watching you suffer
i know the feeling of being damned alone
i've got a storybook of my own

  • Linkin Park - "Skin to Bone"

skin to bone, steel to rust
ash to ashes, dust to dust
let tomorrow have its way
with the promises we made
skin to bone, steel to rust

  • Pendulum - "Propane Nightmares"

in a trail of fire i know we will be free again
in the end we will be one
in a trail of fire i'll burn before you bury me
set your sights for the sun
