Rhaenys Targaryen
While “Fire and Blood” offers limited in-depth physical descriptions, Rhaenys Targaryen actively stands out with her distinctive combination of Baratheon black hair and Targaryen violet eyes. This unique appearance remains a defining aspect of her character, even as she ages, with her hair featuring noticeable streaks of white throughout her life. Interestingly, the show’s adaptation deviates from this distinct portrayal, as actress Eve Best possesses dark brown hair.
The decision to make her hair white in the show may serve as an active visual cue to signify her Targaryen lineage to the audience. Nevertheless, Eve Best delivers an exceptional portrayal of the enigmatic Queen Who Never Was, effectively capturing the essence of the character’s persona.
