Elaenna Velaryon, the daughter of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen and Laenor Velaryon, was born in the year 112 A.C. Alongside her twin brother, Jacaerys, Elaenna was a blessing from the gods. As the elder of the twins, she was always aware of the path that lay before her—heir to the Iron Throne and future Queen of the Seven Kingdoms. Known for her calm demeanor, Elaenna was kind to everyone she encountered and shared a close bond with Prince Aemond.

Despite her noble lineage, Elaenna bore little resemblance to her parents. With her striking brown hair and deep brown eyes, she stood out as a unique presence, distinct from the Targaryen and Velaryon features that defined her family.

At birth, Elaenna was blessed with a dragon of her own—a magnificent pink creature she named Nindres, whose beauty was as striking as her unique bond with its rider.
