But her greatest weapon was her face.
One sharp glance from her across the Small Council table and you knew it was judgment day.
Especially if that you is Daemon.
(Unless she becomes the next person to haunt Daemon at Harrenhal.)
S1 E8:Once again schooling Rhaenyra on how to play the game.
S1 E9:Letting all the Greens know this is their last lucky day.

Coda: RIP to the Queen Who Absolutely Was
You cant talk about Rhaenys without mentioning Meleys.
Some ofthe dragons in this danceare hard to tell apart, but Meleys had presence.
They called her the Red Queen.
(Imagine ifVogueexisted in this world.)
She did so with frightening style, swagger, and a stare into the soul much like Rhaenys herself.
They were unknowingly outnumbered and ambushed twice in the span of maybe ten minutes.
She briefly made Vhagar spiral to the ground!
(Treating Meleys neck like a chew toy really emphasized the cruelty of such an unfair duel.)
Did you catch that affectionate look Meleys gave Rhaenys after their small victory against Vhagar?
Did you see Rhaenyss proud smile in return?
There was deep love and mutual respect in this bond.
Two Targaryen greats gone in an instant.
Meleys was the first dragon we saw this season.
I hate thatthe last well see of heris her decapitated head.
