Some underrated* parallels between Jon and Dany
*In my experience. But I do not have an omniscient weirwood’s-eye view of the fanbase
1. Threatened with death on Robert’s orders
He could still hear Sansa pleading, as Lyanna had pleaded once.
(AGOT, Eddard IV)
“Robert, I beg of you,” Ned pleaded, “hear what you are saying. You are talking of murdering a child.”
“The whore is pregnant!” The king’s fist slammed down on the council table loud as a thunder-clap.
(AGOT, Eddard VIII)
2. Suspected to be/compared to Ashara Dayne’s child
Ned would not speak of the mother, not so much as a word, but a castle has no secrets, and Catelyn heard her maids repeating tales they heard from the lips of her husband’s soldiers. They whispered of Ser Arthur Dayne, the Sword of the Morning, deadliest of the seven knights of Aerys's Kingsguard, and of how their young lord had slain him in single combat. And they told how afterward Ned had carried Ser Arthur’s sword back to the beautiful young sister who awaited him in a castle called Starfall on the shores of the Summer Sea. The Lady Ashara Dayne, tall and fair, with haunting violet eyes.
(AGOT, Catelyn II)
Even after all these years, Ser Barristan could still recall Ashara’s smile, the sound of her laughter. He had only to close his eyes to see her, with her long dark hair tumbling about her shoulders and those haunting purple eyes. Daenerys has the same eyes. Sometimes when the queen looked at him, he felt as if he were looking at Ashara’s daughter …
(ADWD, The Kingbreaker)
3. Likely featured in Moqorro’s visions
“Someone told me that the night is dark and full of terrors. What do you see in those flames?”
“Dragons,” Moqorro said in the Common Tongue of Westeros. He spoke it very well, with hardly a trace of accent. No doubt that was one reason the high priest Benerro had chosen him to bring the faith of Rh’llor to Daenerys Targaryen. “Dragons old and young, true and false, bright and dark. And you. A small man with a big shadow, snarling in the midst of all.”
(ADWD, Tyrion VIII)
And now Daenerys, his bright shining child queen.
(ADWD, The Queensguard)
Jon was slender where Robb was muscular, dark where Robb was fair….
(AGOT, Bran I)
