@eliaweek Day 04: What could have been | A Targaryen Dynasty
Elia Nymeros Martell, the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms and her children. Princess Rhaenys Targaryen, wife of Willas Tyrell and acting lady of Highgarden. And the queen's son and heir to the Iron Throne, Aegon Targaryen, Prince of Dragonstone.
god last year's wimbledon was such a fun time for iga..she was loose, she was joking around in press, she had the towel stealing gag, she horrified the whole of italy with the strawberry pasta thing! petko had a bird inspired divination about her winning it and then she DID
Wins her semifinal match against Diana Shnaider (7-6(4), 6-4) at the 2026 French Open. She advances to the finals to meet the 8th seed Mirra Andreeva. This is only her third main draw at a grand slam yet Maja is the second qualifier after Emma Raducanu in 2021 to make it to a grand slam final. She was ranked World No. 114 and is now at a new career high of World No. 21 in the live rankings currently. If she wins Roland-Garros, she will be amongst the top 15
Princess Elia Martell, Ser Baelor Hightower and their daughter Lady Elinor Hightower (oc)
"Baelor Hightower was no longer young, but he remained Lord Leyton's heir; wealthy, handsome, and a knight of splendid repute. Baelor Brightsmile, they called him now. Had Elia wed him in place of Rhaegar Targaryen, she might be in Oldtown with her children growing tall around her."
more about my oc elinor:
She is athletic, but also studious. In her free time she likes to sail along Honeywine and around the Whispering Sound with her friends. She likes riding, but isn't a big fan of hawking and hunting. She doesn't eat meat (except seafood).
She was a precocious child who grew into an argumentative teenager. Very competitive and ambitious, she would thrive in the citadel. Her favourite subjects are history and law.
She isn't particularly pious, but she gets along well with her septa and likes to discuss the faith and its teachings.
Her parents are a little on the stricter side, so she doesn't always tell them what she is up to, but she loves them very much and knows that they want her to succeed and become the Lady of Oldtown in the future.
However, not everyone in her family agrees with her parents. Her father has many siblings and cousins and some of them are against her being her father's heir and insist that one of them should take their place or that she should wed one of her cousins.
She was betrothed to her cousin Garlan Tyrell as a teenager, but none of them were enthusiastic about the match. Garlan broke off their betrothal and went to marry Lady Leonette Fossoway.
Currently she is courted by Ser Daven Lannister, the son of Ser Stafford Lannister. Their relationship is met with mixed reactions.
She has met her family from her mother's side only a few times, but she adores Arianne and the older Sand Snakes. They write to each other often and send elaborate gifts on important occasions. Elinor is super excited when Sarella starts her studies at the citadel and often sneaks into the city to see her.
She also keeps a correspondence with Willas, they mostly discuss books they have read recently.
As a kid she would pretend that Margaery is her own baby and would ‘take care’ of her. When Elinor was an angsty teen she had a phrase where she didn't want to play with little Margaery anymore (because everyone teased her about it). A few years later they became close again, this time on more equal ground.
Her daughter is quiet, but not in the way Elia was quiet as a young girl, anxious and shy as a desert mouse. Elinor's silence reminds her of her older brother, of his watchful gaze and the ever-present shadow of something sharp hiding behind his eyes.
DAY FOUR: WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN
Art by: saajieus2 on VGEN
Dowager Queen Elia and her children, Rhaenys and Aegon VI had they survived the Sack of KL.
@eliaweek
The idea here is that after Rhaegar’s death, Aegon would be crowned Aegon VI and Elia would be his regent. He’s wearing the crown of Aegon III, he’s still little in this, about 14, so his heir would be Rhaenys and her official title would be Princess of Dragonstone. Elia is wearing her house colors and wearing a matching ruby earring with Aegon in memory of Rhaegar. Elia is also wearing a purple star ring in honor of her lady and friend Ashara Dayne. Rhaenys is wearing a cat necklace for her kitty, Balerion.
there were others fairer still. One was the wife of the dragon prince, who'd brought a dozen lady companions to attend her. The knights all begged them for favors to tie about their lances."
