Never one to make a show of her emotions, the Queen in the East received the news stone-faced. "I have asked you to stay," she said. "I will not beg. If you would go, go."

One interesting thing I’ve observed is how alike the fates of Rhaena (Queen in the West and the East), Rhaenys (the Queen who never was) and Rhaenyra (the half-year Queen) are.
All three of these women were brought down by the cruel patriarchal system of Westeros.
But notice how adored and respected Rhaena and Rhaenys are by people in this fandom (as well as in Westeros history), compared to Rhaenyra.
Why?
Because Rhaena and Rhaenys sat back and never “dared” to do anything about the injustice they endured.
Rhaenyra did.
And for that, the maesters of the Citadel, who are not only upholders of the patriarchal system but also Hightower lickspittles, did not hesitate to attack her and spew lies about her. And most of these lies concerned her personal life.
Constant talk about her weight, even though the usurping king and his queen consort were both overweight from birth. Constant talk about her children’s parentage, even though there was never any actual proof of what her first three sons looked like and whether or not they inherited Baratheon and/or Arryn genes. Constant talk about how her husband was “unfaithful” (once again, without any proof).
As such, anything bad written about Rhaenyra Targaryen is hard to accept as fact.

What you're favorite female Targ says about you
(For simplicities sake, I'll only mention the ones who have the last name Targaryen but I'll be skipping out on ones we don't know enough about from Daenerys of Dorne to Egg's daughters.)
Daenys - You hyperfixate on long dead characters who did 1 important thing that changed the history of the world.
Visenya - You want to bed her AND you want to be her at the same time. You heard "dark, sensual, unforgiving" and found it the sexiest description ever. You almost see her as a goddess rather than a person, you practically worship her.
Queen Rhaenys - You love a women with duality. You respect House Targaryen's matriarch for having hobbies, having fun with pretty boys, & burning entire armies. You also hate the Dornish.
Rhaena the Black Bride - Fat chance you aren't straight. You think she should have been Queen regnant (you'd be 100% right) & you're a Maegor & Jaehaerys's anti. You have a soft spot for sexy sad women
Alysanne - You love a girlboss who can manage motherhood & a 9 to 5 job. You also appreciate how she's the only Targaryen who fought for SEVERAL WOMEN's rights, not just her own.
Aerea - You're a rebellious teen who had a rough upbringing. Her death broke you because you know she deserved so much better.
Septa Rhaella - Are you sure your favorite character isn't just Rhaena?
Alyssa - You also want to ride 2 dragons (Meleys & Baelon).
Maegelle - You love a good nun.
Daella - You're want someone to take care of you for your whole life, except unlike Daella, you're not scared, you're just lazy.
Saera - You love a girl who serves cvnt (quite literally). You're the biggest Jaehaerys hater.
Viserra - You're incredibly pretty and incredibly petty. You know how the world hates to see pretty girls winning.
Gael - You probably have a helicopter parent.
Rhaenys the Queen who Never Was - You're a feminist & you love girlbosses. You 100% hate Jaehaerys and you have 0 love for Viserys I who you think she should have been Queen instead of.
Rhaenyra - You're a feminist & you were 100% the favorite child growing up. If you have a step-parent or half-siblings, you definitely hate them.
Helaena - You're probably a show enjoyer first & foremost. You probably simp for Aemond who you ship her with.
Baela - You might be a tomboy but not the "not like other girls" type of tomboy. You probably like at least 1 sport though & you're definitely a girl's girl.
Rhaena of Pentos - You love pretty aesthetics & Barbie was probably you're favorite movie of 2023.
Jaehaera - You hyperfixate on tragic minor characters. Bonus points if you're neurodivergent.
Naerys - You're either a sad catholic girl or you hyperfixate on tragic female chracters.
Daena - You love baddies who don't take anyone's shit. You might have grown up in a toxically religious household.
Septa Rhaena - You think Baelor the Blessed was the best Targ King.
Elaena - You like a woman with a brain.
Queen Rhaella - You hyperfixate on tragic female characters.
Daenerys - You love a bad bitch (affectionate) and you will not apologize. You also genuinely have good taste & hated GoT season 8.

Melody Piper trying to cheer up Princess Rhaena Targaryen during the royal progress.
I swear I was going to make Melody a redhead, I just forgot. She also ended up shorter than I wanted.
My galaxy note is on its last legs so more traditional art it is.
