Tbh anon, while I do have some lore on Haera, I'd never actually drawn her since she was such a far off, background character to Saerea's lore lmao. But this ask was the perfect excuse to draw her so thanks anon!
I see her having the Caelerys wine-purple eyes and the honey gold hair (very similar to Saerea in looks). As for info and lore, she was a young woman when she left Valyria (21 or 22 I imagine) due to the doom, freshly widowed with a 3yr old son and an infant daughter. Her house had always ranked average in power amongst the dragonlord families, but by the time she had become lady of house Calaerys, their power had begun to wane significantly. She was amongst the younger of the dragonlord rulers, and was steadily losing power, so she had little influence in governance over the freehold and wasn't respected much. Her consort, her beloved brother Daegor, had been her greatest pillar of support, until he died in an unfortunate accident that she secretly suspects wasn't an accident, and this took a massive toll on her mentally and emotionally. When Aenar Targaryen informed the other dragonlords of the oncoming doom, she was the only one to take his warning seriously. In the end, her family was losing power, other dragonlords had possibly killed her husband to further weaken them, and she was fretting over the safety of her children and remaining family members, and the news of the doom was the final nail in the coffin. She decided she had to get her family out of Valyria and fled, taking every little thing they had with them as a sign they'd never return. Only three of her vassals followed her family to Westeros; House Agnaris, House Polemys, & House Nhalamyr. Oh! And the dragon that decorates their family coat of arms is supposed to be her dragon, Tyraenax the Goliath, a white, burly dragon who's final rider was Saerea's father, Lord Aekar.
