King Viserys Targaryen has great faith in his daughter, Princess Rhaenyra, whom he names heir in House of the Dragon season 1, episode 1 "The Heirs of the Dragon." A charmer from the get-go, she is cheered as "the Realm's Delight" at a young age, and her father regards her as a safe pair of hands. Though Rhaenyra grows up to be a motherless daughter, Viserys ensures she is properly educated in statecraft as it is essential to her future success.
