I wonder how Myra and Elyse wozld react to each other.

I'm pretty sure Myra would become Elyse's therapist.

Elyse Stark House of the Dragon - Season Two

She had seen death. She had been to war. But Elyse Stark was not prepared for the sacrifice the Dance of the Dragons would make her offer: that of her children, torn between both sides of the bloody conflict.

The Dragon's Wife knew little happiness in her lifetime, and the most bitter of her days was yet to come...

Chapter Nine The Fangs Bared

“Do all Starks turn into mindless beasts come sundown, or is that trait reserved for you alone?”

The gods had a bitter sense of humor.

She turned to find Daemon lingering in the doorway, a smirk on his lips and fire in his eyes. He dare look at her that way when everything she’d worked toward was falling apart. Did he not know? Or was her failure what entertained him so? Of course that had to be the answer. Without his brother or Otto Hightower to turn his childishness toward, she alone was his source of amusement.

So be it then. But he would need to work for it.

In the depths of that silence, she was lost time and again, slipping, falling, crashing through the walls of her being. Old memories of laughter cut at her like knives while sobs drowned her in a sea of their tears. And everywhere she turned, she saw his face. It was in the depths of that foul ocean and across the expanse of a darkened sky. Her screams were stolen from her, but she could still feel the echoes of what she had done, the sensation of the spear popping through flesh, how the steel tip scraped across bone. - The Taste of Bitter Steel, Chapter Nine

Introducing - Elyse Stark A House of the Dragon OC

The North was often forgotten by the Southern lords. It was a cold, barren wasteland as far as they were concerned, half a world away, and not worthy of the effort to journey to. But the North could never forget. House Stark could never forget. Dragons had forced their king to bend the knee, or suffer a fiery doom, and now the fate of their peace was determined by those same forgetful, pompous Southerners. 

Elyse Stark was not satisfied to sit in the North while murmurs rose again about succession. A vulnerable Targaryen meant a vulnerable kingdom, and that always meant war. So, under the guise of becoming a lady-in-waiting to the Princess Rhaenyra, Elyse threw herself into the chaos and treachery of King’s Landing. She knew she could never make so grand an impact as to change the course of history, but any warning she could provide her family would make her sacrifice worth it. 

What she did not expect was to catch the eye of Daemon Targaryen, or the fascination with the Rogue Prince that threatened to consume her. What would follow were years of obsession competing with the ever-constant desire for power, for the Targaryen prince could have only have one. A Stark could never give him what he desired most, but she was never far from his thoughts, nor he from hers. 

Their dance with one another may prove to be as deadly as the one amongst the dragons.

Chapter Six Politics and Pride

“If you wish for the entire North to rally behind the cause for independence, then by all means, continue in this line of thinking. It is the North that must punish its own traitors, or you risk war all the same.”

“So we are to both act upon this and not. By all means, tell us what sort of logic you are attempting to persuade us with.”

“Forgive me, I did not realize that I needed to explain the intricacies of politics to the Hand of the King,” Elyse hissed.

Chapter Two The Prince of the City “Three guards were assigned to us, but when the road had been blocked by a cart, they abandoned us, and the coachmen as well.” Elyse took a slow, shaking drink from the goblet, suddenly parched. “Ser Medrick, he held them off for a time, then he told me to take his dagger and run.”  “And so here you are,” Daemon finished.   She risked holding his gaze, finding it once again unnervingly impassive. “So here I am.”

I don’t care how my people remember me, so long as they are still here to do so...

Elyse Stark in The Taste of Bitter Steel

Elyse fears that the North is on the brink of war. Her people, long ignored by their southern rulers, have begun to grumble about an independent North once again. Her father, Lord Rickon, will hear of no such thing, but his health is failing, and not all his lords agree with his vision. Should he die before her younger brother is of age, her people may plunge themselves into war, especially if her uncle is allowed to rule as regent. 

For this, Elyse seeks aid in the south. She wishes for the king to find a way to placate her people, as well as offer aid should the worst come to pass. But in her way, among many, is the Hand of the King himself, Otto Hightower, who would break the kingdom in two if it meant keeping Viserys deep in his grasp. 

And then there is the issue of Daemon Targaryen, whose fixation upon her might tip the realm into chaos regardless of her intentions...
