TROPES ASSOCIATED WITH Bäahal Targaryen


All Girls Want Bad Boys: Bäahal fell head over heels for Jaime Lannister who is considered the most hated man in the seven kingdoms.

Arranged Marriage: Averted. She refuses to marry anyone but Jaime Lannister and rejects all of the suitors she has to meet.

Beware the Nice Ones: Is gentle and kindhearted, but you do not want to rouse her anger. She’s a very capable fighter on her own.

• Blue Blood: As a Targaryen princess, this is a given. Played with, however: her background is way more impoverished and unstable than that of the average Targaryen. She was raised into slavery and only started to enjoy the “joys” of her position when Daenerys became queen.

• Broken Bird: Bäahal’s backstory fits this trope. It has been misery, pain, and loss at each and every turn. She didn't lose her optimism and kindness.

• Character Tics: Bäahal cries a lot when she's upset or happy. She also tends to storm into one's room when she wants to talk to them. 

• Chekhov's Gift: Her former Master made sure that Bäahal learned how to speak Valyrian.

• Child by Rape: Aerys II raped her mother, an albino slave from Naath. She was sheltered from the truth in her early years but around age 7, she was forced to know the truth.

• Chronic Hero Syndrome: To the frustration of her loved ones. Lampshaded by Tyrion who assessed her actions as of a rescuer who simply will not let others suffer. That was the reason for the siege that nearly cost her life.

• Color-Coded Eyes: Purple eyes are the indicator of Valyrian ancestry

• Dark-Skinned Blonde: She is a black-skinned native of Naath, with white Targaryen hair.

• Dragon Rider: She used to ride Viserion and was riding him when he was killed by the Night King. 

• Dragon Tamer: Bäahal Targaryen used to ride Viserion, one of her sister’s 3 dragons. House Targaryen, was known for being closer to dragons than other men as they used them in their conquests.

• Dude Magnet: Several men have offered to marry her.

• Fatal Flaw: She is naïve, whether or not she wants to be, she still is naïve and still sees the world through a certain optimistic view. She also is very impulsive, and this could cost her.

• Fish out of Water: It took her a long time to get used to being a princess. She was born and raised into slavery and had never experienced freedom.

• Foreign Ruling Class: She is the princess of the Seven Kingdoms, sister of Daenerys Targaryen, the actual queen of the Seven Kingdoms and she comes from the southern islands.

• Goal in Life: To have a home. To be free. And actually, to marry the love of her life: Jaime.

• Has a Type: Buff, dangerous bad boys.

Honorary Princess: She's a downplayed example at first, as her family is royalty although they lost their throne in an uprising. However, she truly became a princess when Daenerys became queen.

• Ice Queen/Defrosting Ice Queen: Bäahal is quite aloof and distant. She warmed up since she met Daenerys and found herself a stable and warm family.  

• I Have Many Names: Bäahal Targaryen, princess of the seven kingdoms, Blood of the dragon, The Sun of Astapor, (former) Bäahal the Hidden, (former) Bäahal the resilient, Champion of the House of the dragon, champion of the Great and the Last wars of Westeros (by Jaime)

• Impoverished Patrician: She was born a slave and when she wasn’t performing for her clients or her master’s friends, she didn’t have any special treatment.

• Inconvenient Attraction: To Jaime Lannister, the most hated man of Westeros.

• Informed Attractiveness: A lot of comments about her looks are made to her. She has always been called beautiful to her face and has learned to resent it given who complimented her.

• Kill It with Fire: "Dracarys."

• Lady of War: Not initially, but she grows into one, gaining experience as a general during the Last War and the Long Night.

• Last of His Kind: Dany and Viserys were believed to be the last surviving members of House Targaryen. Then she appeared.

• Living Legend: The siege she survived truly forged her reputation among common folks. She managed to survive and protect two dozen people.

• Lost My Appetite: Bäahal has a tendency to lose her appetite when dealing with stressful or upsetting situations.

• Lust Object: Unfortunately, many men had lusted after her ever since she came of age. Jaime Lannister even admitted that no sane man could not want to be with her. She had plenty of suitors trying to marry her, once she became princess of the seven Kingdoms.

• Made a Slave: It is explicitly said In-Universe she was born into slavery. She had to set herself free by murdering her master when Daenerys attacked Mereen.

• The McCoy: When she sees someone in pain, she feels compelled to alleviate it, with little regard for practicality or long-term ramifications. Jaime tries to play the role of The Spock to balance her out, but she sometimes is too impulsive to follow his pieces of advice.

 Ms. Fanservice: She always wears beautiful outfits and is extremely gorgeous. 

Mystical White Hair: Like her entire family. Still, nothing says mystical like being able to ride dragons! 

Not Quite the Right Thing: She makes many of these types of decisions — for example, she chooses to travel the seven kingdoms with just two bodyguards and is betrayed by one of them -which leads to the siege she survived-

Not so Above It All: Despite all she's been through, Bäahal maintains a playful sense of humor, for example, she still does bad impersonations of her family.

• No Pronunciation Guide: she is called “Bah! Hal”

• Official Couple: With Jaime Lannister.

• Practically Different Generations: To her deceased brother Rhaegar. Had his children survived, they'd be a few years older than her despite her being their aunt. This is due to Aerys and Rhaella marrying and having Rhaegar as teenagers.

• Pride: As Tyrion points out, it's all she's got to hold on to.Subverted as she found a lot more to hold onto since she set herself free.

• Princess Classic: Subverted almost point-for-point; the sole exception is her unusual beauty.

• Royals Who Actually Do Something: she had to fight most of her life to survive. Her last feat was holding off soldiers during a siege.

• Shameless Fanservice Girl: She is not above wearing beautiful gowns that enhance her beauty. When she was still a slave, she was made to dance and seduce people in public (unfortunately) at times.

• Took a Level in Badass: She's taken several of these as well throughout her adventures. She can swing her sword pretty well and can throw a punch if needed.

• The Ugly Guy's Hot Daughter: King Aerys II, near the end of his life, was a raving madman with filthy hair and beard and yellowed nine-inch fingernails. His daughter Princess Bäahal is a stunning Valyrian beauty with silver-gold hair and eyes like amethyst.

• World's Most Beautiful Woman: According to several of her followers and the rumors traveling about her from Essos to Westeros; remarkable beauty that couldn’t be imagined: “The silver princess is one of the fairest women in the world, only challenged by her own sister, the queen. Her hair is silver-gold, her eyes are amethysts and her skin is dark, like a lion’s skin.”
