On House of the Dragon, Rhaenyra Targaryen became her own worst enemy. She went from the sweet, timid girl we met in episode one to a woman willing to burn down the entirety of Westeros to settle a grudge against her former best friend. Though she claims to be interested in upending Westeros’ political systems, the first season of HOTD traces Rhaenyra’s path from an idealistic young woman to a canny operator, willing to undermine her principles in order to retain a hold on power.
