Baela is a young woman described having typical Valyrian features such as fair skin, silver-white hair, and purple eyes and said to share the beauty of her mother. She is a tall young woman, standing at 5' 9" with a slim, lean physique with fine features and faint freckles on her cheeks and nose. Her silver-white hair has a wave to it but is generally kept cut extremely short, usually in a sort of bob so as to not whip in her face when flying on dragonback. Her attire leans more to a tomboyish look with sleeveless shirts, trousers, and riding leathers or leather armor along with some kind of boots. Occasionally though, she will wear dresses or more formal attire ranging in colors of brown, dark reds, and tans, and wears a golden pendent around her neck with a gold and pearl chain bearing the insignia of House Velaryon.
Weapons:
Jian longsword
Kissaki-moroha tanto daggers
recurve bow and arrows
Powers/Magic:
Moondancer (Companion): Though Baela herself does not exactly have powers per se, as a descendent of two ancient Valyrian houses she is more capable of bonding with a dragon. Said dragon is none other than Moondancer, a slender she-dragon with pale green scales and pearl white horns, crests, and wingbones with a slightly greenish-white underbelly. She has dual-crests from the back of her neck running down her neck and crests from tail tip to where her tail meets her body, one on either side and one along the top. Several horns adorn her head down to her cheeks, a row of spines on either side of her neck crests, and running along her shoulders, back, and along her chest. Moondancer's eyes are a striking forest green, contrasting to pale green. She stands at 9 feet tall and is 12 feet from snout to tail tip and wing tip to wing tip, being just large enough to ride for Baela.
+As a dragon, Moondancer is capable of flight via her wings
+Moondancer can also breath fire, both on her own and on command
+Has heighten senses allowing her to smell, taste, and see greater than any human and majority of creatures
+Moondancer and Baela also seem to share a sort of magical bond tied to the Targaryen bloodline
Physical Abilities:
Baela has always been described as more tomboyish than lady like. Naturally, Baela is more athletic than her twin sister Rhaena, being at peak physical condition with being agile, swift on her feet, flexible, and highly coordinated. She is excellent with most bladed weapons and archery, as well as a master in riding on horseback and dragonback, hawking, and skilled dancer.
Weaknesses:
Though Baela may have a dragon, she herself is human and is susceptible to anything and everything a human is weak to.
Despite the blood magic that seems to bind herself and her kin to dragons, Baela does not have total control over Moondancer, the dragon being more than capable of ignoring commands at times.
Personality wise, Baela is head-strong, free spirited, and generally fearless, sometimes getting in over her head into situations.
Baela's strengths lie more in agility, speed, and dexterity than brute force or strength, thus requiring her to be both clever and reactive against stronger opponents.
In terms of combat, Baela still has much to learn and generally favors the use of a blade over long-range weapons.
Likes:
+Her family
+Being close to the ocean and sea

Personality:
Where Baela takes after her mother most in appearance, she seems to take after her father more in personality. Since she was young, Baela has always been known as a fierce and boisterous young woman. She has never been one to hold back how she feels or make her thoughts known, Baela be rather forward and out-going that only became more apparent as she got older. Often, Baela has proven herself strong of will, quick of mind, and free spirited, being fiery, untamed, and generally following her own rules. Braver, fearless, and rash, Baela is a woman who loves rough housing, proving her mettle, and is more boylike than ladylike, being the opposite of her younger twin who was always more of the quiet, delicate type compared to Baela who has always been more tough-as-nails and rowdy.
That said, Baela is both quick to anger and carries herself with pride. Like Daemon, Baela is one who has a quick temper and is not afraid to show her wrath, being vengeful at times and sometimes holding a grudge to those who wrong herself and her family. Though she shares some traits with the late Laena, being one that carries herself with pride and dignity. Though not very ladylike, she is not above having a calm demeanor with a hint of occasional caution, and speaks quite eloquently despite her rough and tough attitude. She can be formal and informal, but is certainly one that can be direct, sharp of tongue, and quick-witted.
Either way, Baela is exceptionally fierce and loyal, having a good heart but a fiery temper and free spirit that few can quell. With some discipline and wrangling in her spirtfire personality, Baela could easily be a contender both in court and the battlefield.
History:
Baela is the oldest child of Daemon Targaryen and Laena Velaryon during their stay in Pentos, being older by mere minutes ahead of her sister Rhaena. For part of her younger life, Baela and her family lived as guests of Reggio Haratis where she developed an early interest in combat, adventure, and was already bonded to her own dragon, Moondancer who hatched from the egg presented to her at her birth. Unfortunately, fate would have other plans as Laena went through a difficult birth that was slowly killing her forcing Laena to make a final decision to die a rider's death.
Though Baela and her sister did not see this for themselves, Laena was burned to death of her own volition by Vhagar, her dragon. Upon this event, the remaining family returned to Driftmark to attend the funeral as well as reuniting with their grandparents for the first time. Since that time, Baela's time was split between Driftmark and Dragonstone, being mostly raised by her grandparents and often finding herself in the courtyard, sparring and wrestling with the squires, flying on Moondancer, and learning to train to become a warrior over participating in ladylike activities like Rhaena. During this time, many considered Baela to be more boyish than a lady, a reputation that Baela herself didn't mind as she got older.
By the time she was a teen, Baela was betrothed to her cousin, Jace, whom she greatly supported during the Dance of the Dragons as she trained closely under the likes of Rhaenys in the absence of her grandfather, Corlys. As the eldest daughter to Laena, she was considered to be the next heir of Driftmark next to Lucerys. She even began taking part in the royal council of the Blacks to have her voice heard more and to understand the politics for the future. In court and the battlefield, Baela made her presence known well into the taking of King's Landing with her stepmother just as Moondancer became capable of flying with her young rider. It was the death of Lucerys that Baela was drawn into the war more, swearing to fight alongside her betrothed as much as possible.
But it was during Aegon II's attack on Dragonstone and Baela sneaking out to Moondancer to investigate the death of one of the wild dragons, that she was meant to face her biggest challenge. However, just as Moondancer and Sunfyre were about to clash tooth and claw, a dark, twisted portal opened before her, drawing her and Moondancer into another dimension, a dimension very different from her own.
