Now I need to ask! Do you already have planned some of the dragons for your hotd babies? Names, colours, personality... anything really (my big kitties 🥺)
yesss I sure as heck do
Ayron – Vīlībāzmio black with a red diamondback pattern; black eyes; very much a war dragon, the two of them are really the leaders of Viserys' army. Like his rider, Vīlībāzmio has an exceptional amount of patience but never forgets a wrong, only bides his time. One of the largest dragons left in the world, he is not one for fancy flying or showing off tricks but he is one of the fastest dragons, and his brute force is exceptional – if he flies into another dragon, he will knock their rider off their back and send the dragon to the ground
Carlys – Jaedos (The Queen’s Guard); he is black with gold scales and darker gold wings; green eyes; he is very playful but extremely protective of Carlys, gets huffy with anyone other than Aegon and their kids being too close to her; very small, because he stays indoors at all times he never properly grows
Daenyra – Mīsio (The Frost Dragon); used to be black and gold, now white and silver; blue eyes; Mīsio used to be a normal dragon, but after flying north with Daenyra and then years beyond the wall, she started to fade from black and gold to white and silver, her previously black eyes turned ice blue, and she began to breathe ice instead of fire. She is fiercely protective of her rider, hardly letting anyone get close enough to touch her. When they return to King's Landing, Mīsio refuses to stay in the dragon pit, instead finding herself a cave to dwell in. Daenyra has gotten better about not running from confrontations, but when she was younger she loved to avoid conversations by jumping out of windows, trusting that Mīsio would catch her. She and Aegon were the only ones of her siblings to have dragon eggs in their cribs from birth, Mīsio hatching when Daenyra was only a month old, and it is reflected in the bonds that they have with their dragons.
Daessa – Valaera (sometimes called Moonfyre); navy (almost black) scales with lighter blue-grey wings; black eyes; Valaera is from the same clutch as Sunfyre, the dusk to his dawn. Though almost complete opposites in appearance (both colouring and Valaera being very small compared to Sunfyre) the two are very similar in personality. She is very loyal to Daessa, and it is often said that she seems to understand what Daessa wants without any need for words. She is capable of great force in battle, but is very playful and loves to fly with Daessa just for fun, doing tricks in the air and flying close enough to the water to splash her rider. Despite the divide between Blacks and Greens, Sunfyre and Valaera remain bonded, and have had clutches of their own. Although Daessa named her Valaera, she was nicknamed Moonfyre by Aegon due to her similarities to Sunfyre
Rhaella – Vermithor (the Bronze Fury); bronze body with tan wings; personality; previously the dragon of King Jaehaerys but when Jaehaerys died, Vermithor claimed Rhaella as his new rider (who had lost her previous dragon) – some tried to claim that this should have marked Rhaella as Jaehaerys’ rightful heir, but she remained steadfast in support of Rhaenys’ claim
Rhaeya – Starfyre; gold scales fading into a silver underbelly & silver wings; silver eyes; Starfyre is considered one of the most even tempered dragons around. Much like her rider, she is very calm and well behaved, but will get aggressive if she feels that Rhaeya is in danger. She is on the smaller side, well suited to stealth, and very well suited to help Rhaeya sneak around to see Jace. Although often considered docile and "tame", when Starfyre does feel that she or Rhaeya is being threatened, she is capable of extreme violence, and once ate a soldier who attempted to grab Rhaeya's arm in order to bring her back to the Keep. Although less overtly aggressive than some of the other dragons, she also never cowers to them, always standing her ground – much like how Rhaeya behaves with her family.
Saera – Syndor (The Cannibal); coal black; green eyes; personality; he didn’t have a name when he claimed Saera but she calls him Syndor, the Valyrian word for Shadow. He claimed her rather than the other way around; Rhaenyra had been sent to Dragonstone for the duration of her pregnancy and the day that Saera was born, all of Dragonstone could hear the Cannibal roaring. The first day that Saera was brought outside of the castle walls, he swooped down from above and landed right in front of Rhaenyra and Saera, staring them down until Rhaenyra very carefully approached, and he only began to calm when little baby Saera reached out to pat his scales. As she got older, he remained a constant presence, keeping a safe distance from everyone but always *there*, vicious and violent still to everyone but her
Vaella – Silverwing; pale silvery-purple scales with pale purple belly, dark purple wings; purple eyes; personality; Vaella doesn't get her own egg and, like aemond, never claimed a dragon but during her miscarriage and almost dying, Silverwing flew from Dragonstone to King's Landing, roaring loudly and being impossible to settle until she finally saw her girl (more painfully, the first Moment™ that Vaella has with a dragon is burning the body of her own child, but Silverwing then shields her with a wing and forces everyone to give her space)
Visenya – Perzys; dark red scales with a white underbelly; white wings; dark purple eyes; Perzys is from Silverwing's last clutch, an egg that all had believed to have turned to stone decades before. Visenya's egg never hatched as an infant, but as a toddler she came across Perzys' egg and took to carrying it with her everywhere until eventually it hatched. For many years, Perzys could always be found with Visenya, sitting on her shoulder until he became too large to do so. Many in the Keep opposed it, but Viserys always indulged her, wanting to encourage the bond his daughters had with their dragons. Because Perzys was so much smaller than Syrax, he was not considered to be as well suited for battle, but his small size and impressive agility allowed he and Visenya an advantage over many of the bulkier dragons, being able to fly in between other dragons with ease, with a speed comparable only to Meleys and Sunfyre
