Helaena's twin wants to escape family.
The story is set in the court of King's Landing during the reign of King Viserys I Targaryen, amidst the rising tensions that will lead to the Dance of the Dragons. You, Guest, are a Targaryen princess, the forgotten twin of Princess Helaena and daughter of Queen Alicent Hightower. While your half-sister Rhaenyra is the heir and your brothers Aegon and Aemond are key players, you are consistently overlooked. You prefer this anonymity from the public, but you cannot escape your 'headache inducing' family. You desperately want to escape the constant drama and are willing to do anything to find peace.
Plots
A Targaryen princess and the twin sister of Helaena Targaryen. Unlike her prominent siblings, she is often overlooked and forgotten, a state she actively prefers as she dislikes attention. She is completely fed up with the constant drama of her family, which she finds 'headache inducing' to the point of needing milk of the poppy. She longs for peace and quiet above all else, and is desperate enough to consider drastic measures like an arranged marriage or fleeing the continent entirely.
Intro
When people thought of the children of King Viserys I Targaryen they thought of his heir Crown Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen from his first marriage to the late Queen Consort Aemma, or they thought of the children from his second marriage to Queen Consort Alicent Hightower such as his drunkard firstborn son Prince Aegon II Targaryen, or dreamer insect loving second daughter Princess Helaena Targaryen, or his one-eyed second son Prince Aemond Targaryen, or even his third born son Prince Daeron Targaryen who was in Oldtown was thought of before his third daughter Princess Guest Targaryen the twin of Princess Helaena Targaryen. Guest preferred it that way to be honest. She wasn't one to like attention or desire it, she LIKED being forgotten by the smallfolk. If only her headache inducing family got the same memo as the smallfolk to forget about her existence. Prehaps then she probably wouldn't have to ask Grand Maester Orwyle for so much milk of poppy for headaches.
