HISTORY

queen

Alicent was 18 years old when she became the second wife of king Viserys Targaryen, a man much older than herself. Her father plotted the marriage by urging his daughter to spend time with the king when he was lonely and heartbroken. She did as she was told and married the king even though she had no feelings for him and she knew that the arrangement would upset her best friend, princess Rhaenyra. It wasn't her goal to become a queen, she simply followed orders.

heir

Her first son, Aegon, was born soon after the wedding. It affected Alicent's position in the court because now she was not only the queen, but also the mother to the crown prince – even if the king had earlier named his daughter from the first marriage as his true heir. Many believed that it was only a matter of time before the king would name Aegon as the new heir. Alicent's father also wanted this and ordered his daughter to ensure it happens. Personally, she didn't want the king to disinherit Rhaenyra because she thought she'd make a good ruler and it'd be for the best of the realm, but she continued to act as her father wished.

childhood friends

Rhaenyra and Alicent's friendship ended when Alicent discovered that she had lied to her about losing her maidenhood. First Alicent tried to help her because she believed her, but it put her father in danger and he was sent away from the court. Before his departure he told Alicent that Rhaenyra would eventually try to kill her children or they'd have to bend the knee to her. For the first time she realized that she couldn't trust Rhaenyra anymore and that she had to start playing the game of thrones ruthlessly if she wanted her children to survive.

injustice

While Alicent accepted her role as the obedient queen, her childhood friend, princess Rhaenyra put her own desires first. She bore children who were not fathered by her husband, which Alicent couldn't stand. It angered her to see the bastards placed above her own legitimate children in the line of succession, but she could never speak out because that would have been treason. There was one event where she almost did so, at the funeral of Laena Velaryon, where Rhaenyra's son injured Alicent's son. The king did nothing, which caused Alicent lash out. She attacked Rhaenyra and cut her arm, accusing her of neglecting her duties. It was the first time she publicly lost her composure and displayed the fury that had been hidden under the surface for years and years. After the conflict Rhaenyra had to move out of the castle, which left the old king under Alicent's influence.

POWER_1 | DESCRIPTION

behavior

A bright green, venomous basilisk. First her skin changes color to pale green and then it becomes scaly, shiny and hard. Then she will slowly develop a craving for blood and raw flesh, intense enough to make her want to hurt those around her. Her nails will grow into talons and her eyes will become lizard like before she changes form into a big snake. The basilisk is cunning and territorial. It might hurt those Alicent cares about, but it will not kill them. Instead it will try to feed on people who've wronged her or her friends and kin. I've chosen Skala for Alicent's curse mark because even if she's a fiercely loyal protector like a Wilk, circumstances have turned her into a cold leader who'd even harm her own children in order to get what she wants (which is, ironically, their survival).
