“RHAENYRA is a fighter. She fights for what she wants and she doesn't like to take no for an answer. she has an understanding of history and famous dragonriders, especially female dragonriders… SHE doesn't behave the way that she is expected to. There is that rebellious and cheeky spirit that SHE possesses, which I think is why people are going to adore her.”
