5 House of the Dragon characters you should invite to Thanksgiving (and 3 you shouldn’t)

Invite: Rhaenys Targaryen, the cool person you wish you were

Let us raise a turkey baster to our next guest, Rhaenys Targaryen.

Rhaenys Targaryen has a dash of charisma, a sprinkle of sass, and an extra-large helping of enigmatic charm. She’s like the family member that’s zipped through time zones to come to dinner but still doesn’t need to catch her breath or fix her hair. Remember that Cousin Jetsetter, the one you’d secretly stalk for hours just to hear another tale of adventure while munching on your pecan pie (sorry, I don’t like pumpkin pie)? That’s Rhaenys for you. She’d swoop right into your Thanksgiving dinner mounted on Meleys, her mighty dragon, and toss casual “been there, done that” nuggets into every conversation.

With Rhaenys around for Thanksgiving, there’d never be a dull moment. Who knows, she might even let you ride Meleys and burst through stone castle ceilings and walls.

Invite: Daemon Targaryen, “Back in my day…”

Imagine you’re just chilling with your family, having a nice calm time, and who swoops in to spice things up? None other than Uncle Daemon Targaryen, the ultimate conqueror of feasts! You’d brace yourselves for an epic night as he’d bless us with tales from the golden era, where every dinner party was a battlefield of flavors and forks clashed like swords. And the wine would flow.

Imagine his stories, each one a delicious saga of power struggles, heroic feats, and some mildly inappropriate tales while we all digest our turkey and gravy. It wouldn’t be just a feast, it’d be a day full of exciting stories and gloating from Uncle Daemon. His legendary tales would add that extra kick to our cozy gathering, turning it into a night to remember. So yes, feel free to roll out the red carpet and invite Daemon.
