Daenerys (798-807)

  Deaneries instructs the rest of Drogo's men to build a proper burial site for Drogo. They piled logs to make a platform and placed Drogo on the platform, surrounding him with all of his favorite things (including his horse). Dany placed her three dragon eggs around Drogo, and they staked Mirri Maz Duur to the "burial" platform. When the time came and they had seen the first star in the sky (which happened to be a blood red comet, that Dany took as a good sign) they set the platform on fire. After everything had set flame, Deaneries entered into the flames. Although her hair and all her clothing burned, Dany (blood of the dragon) remained unscathed and had three suckling baby dragons and the respect of the remnants of the Khalasar. Drogo's blood riders pledged their allegiance to Dany, along with Jorah Mormont. The chapter closed describing the music of the dragons. 
  Although Dany had lost her husband and son, She gained the support of a Khalasar and found herself still becoming a mother... To dragons!!! The possibilities are endless with this twist in the story. From the names of the other books in the series I'm sure Dany remains a prominent character in The Game of Thrones series. I think Dany will continue to grow on a maturity level, as she sees herself as finally becoming a woman. Throughout the entire book we see her go through a transformation unlike any other character. Instead of allowing the circumstances surrounding her to turn her bitter she lets them empower her. I think that's why she's has remained my favorite character in the book since the beginning. Her bravery is uncanny. She literally walked into a fire, not knowing what would happen, but being brave enough to try. In the other books I think more and more people will follow her, and love her. She seems to just have that sort of effect on people. Especially people who you'd least expect it from (like Jorah, Drogo, or even the blood riders). I think that'll play into her favor. I'm really excited to read the other books, mainly because of Daeneries!
