Queen's Landing (HOTD 3x02)

Can I say before I continue? I only just found out about this long after I released the previous episode, but I had a weird sneaking suspicion about that mystery redhead who was with Lord Hightower.

But I dismissed it because I was like, Nah, that doesn't make sense.

That can't be Daeron because Daeron has silver hair.

It's very clearly stated in Fire and Blood that he had silver hair.

In fact, because Daeron and all three of his other siblings also have the silvery platinum blonde Targaryen hair...

It heavily gets used as almost like Exhibit B for people to say how Rhaenyra's three Velaryon sons cannot possibly be Laenor's kids because Alicent doesn't actually have that hair color, yet all four of her kids managed to inherit the Targaryen hair color.

How is it that three kids from two Valyrian silvery haired people don't have the hair color? And then I find out that, oh, actually that red haired kid was actually Daeron.

I'm very confused about this.

Although if I recall correctly, I may have to rewatch the preview for the next episode again, but it does seem like We do see Daeron again, but he actually does have the silvery hair.

So, weirdly enough, somebody I work with at my day job, I had a conversation with them the other day about what we thought of the TV show.

And then later I saw... a lot of articles and such pointing out that actually this kid is Daeron.

And that heavily confused me.

So this person that I work with, he actually brought up an interesting idea that maybe the kid had his hair dyed.

perhaps for security reasons, perhaps as a way to keep himself anonymous.

I don't know if that was actually the reason why the character had his hair dyed.

It's a stupid reason, truthfully, because the kid has a dragon.

How many people in Westeros are dragon riders, really?

That's just my personal opinion.
