Although she does hold many secrets, one being the fact that she is an adulterous, despite the deep love she holds for her husband, Rhaenys has never been able to resist temptations set before her, whether it be jewels, wine or men and although she hates herself after her trysts with these different men, she will still often find herself back in their bed soon after. Although quite a gentle person, always opting to resolve disputes by talking and despising violent games, Rhaenys will do anything to keep this secret hidden from her children and most importantly her husband as she does not want to do anything that could disrupt her position as Queen.
History
Rhaenys Targaryen was born in Kings Landing forty one summers ago, born to the younger brother of the King, Rhaegar Targaryen the first and his wife Caneares; from the day she was born she was betrothed to her, cousin Prince Aegon and was never taken far away from the capital city. Rhaenys was the first daughter born to her parents after two brothers and a stillborn, from an early age she understood that she would destined for great things and from the moment her mother first told her, that one day she would be Queen of Westeros she did everything in her power to make this happen. Although already betrothed to the future King, this by no means secured her, for the King could easily opt for a new betrothal for his son if it was more beneficial for him.
Luckily for Rhaenys, not only had she inherited her familiesâ cunning but also her motherâs beauty and charm, it was easy to capture the Princeâs eye and she did what she had to do to secure her position, even if it meant she wasnât a virgin when she went to her marital bed. They married soon after and Rhaenys became Princess Rhaenys of Westeros, she gave birth to twins exactly six months after their wedding day, Princess Jaehaerys and Prince Aerys, the future King of Westeros. The young Princess was besotted with her beautiful children and was the dutiful mother, lavishing them with attention and even feeding them from her own breast, something highly unlikely for a Princess. Not long after the birth of her children the current King died and Aegon was crowned King of Westeros and herself crowned Queen, it was a proud moment for herself, she had finally achieved her goal and more, a loving marriage two healthy children and another slowly growing in her stomach. That following winter Rhaenys give birth to a second daughter, the fair Elaena. Although content with her life she found herself not at the full attentions of her husband and it frustrated her, she was proud of the ruler he was becoming, fair and just yet in the process her needs became second to him, something she was unable to become accustomed to. This was the start of her adulterous affair with her body guard, a tall, muscular, handsome man from the North, named Harold Homms. He became the one who would satisfy her needs when her husband was to pre-occupied, although she hated herself for betraying the man she loved, lust for Harold ruled her body and mind. When Rhaenys became pregnant with her fourth child, she was deeply worried that her childâs father would be Haroldâs, a deep contrast for her fair hair and delicate features to his dark hair and broad features, she would be unable to convince her husband that the child was his and have to admit her affair. Luckily when the child was born, fair haired and blue eyed she was overly relieved that the child belonged to her husband, Rhaegar the second, was the spitting image of his father.
The affair with her guard continued in private yet in public she played the loving and dutiful wife of King, she did truly love Aegon and he had given her four beautiful children yet that still continued not to be enough for Rhaenys. She went through the same turmoil as she did when pregnant with Rhaegar when she found herself pregnant once more, in the fall she gave birth to a daughter, Vysenia, her beautiful, darling Vysenia, blessed by the gods her child belonged to her husband and not her lover. To this day Rhaenys remains a loving figure in her children and husbands life, yet still chooses to lay with Harold from time to time, she is trying to become solely devoted to her husband yet temptation still seems to be too strong to resist.
