==History==
===Paramour===
While a dancing girl in [[King's Landing]], Mysaria became the favored lover of Prince [[Daemon Targaryen]].{{Ref|FAB|Heirs of the Dragon - A Question of Succession}} Around {{Date|105}}, Mysaria became pregnant with Daemon's child while living at [[Dragonstone]]. Daemon gave his paramour a [[dragon egg]] for the child, which angered King [[Viserys I Targaryen]]. The king ordered Daemon to return the egg and send Mysaria back to [[Lys]]. During her return to the [[Free City]], she lost the child during a storm on the [[narrow sea]].{{Ref|FAB|Heirs of the Dragon - A Question of Succession}}

===Dance of the Dragons===

During the [[Dance of the Dragons]], Prince [[Daemon Targaryen]] desired revenge for the death of his stepson, Prince [[Lucerys Velaryon]]. With a pale stranger used as a go-between, two assassins, [[Blood (the butcher)|Blood]] and [[Cheese (the rat-catcher)|Cheese]], infiltrated the [[Red Keep]] and killed Prince [[Jaehaerys Targaryen (son of Aegon II)|Jaehaerys Targaryen]], the eldest son of King [[Aegon II Targaryen]]. Blood was seized by the [[gold cloaks]] trying to leave the city, and he admitted under [[torture]] that he had been hired by a [[prostitute]], a pale older woman, called Misery by the other harlots. However, the [[gold cloaks]] were unable to find Mysaria or Cheese.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - A Son for a Son}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon II}}

Mysaria became Daemon's [[mistress of whisperers]] at some point.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Viserys I}} After the [[fall of King's Landing]] to Rhaenyra, Mysaria served as the queen's mistress of whisperers in all but name, although she did not join the [[small council]]. Rhaenyra apparently approved of Daemon sleeping with Mysaria each night.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - Rhaenyra Triumphant}} 

When Queen [[Alicent Hightower]] referred to the deaths of Rhaenyra's sons by saying only [[bastard]] blood had been spilled, Rhaenyra was enraged, and threatened to [[Tongue mutilation|cut out her tongue]]. According to the ''[[The Testimony of Mushroom|Testimony]]'' of the [[fool]] [[Mushroom]], Mysaria suggested a crueler punishment, proposing that the Dowager Queen and Queen [[Helaena Targaryen]] be taken to a certain [[Brothel Queens|brothel]] so they would be forcibly impregnated with bastard offspring. Archmaester [[Gyldayn]] discounts Mushroom's story, however.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - Rhaenyra Triumphant}}

Following the [[First Battle of Tumbleton]], Mysaria informed Rhaenyra that Daemon had been sleeping with [[Nettles]], his fellow [[dragonrider]], at [[Maidenpool]]. Rhaenyra ordered the death of Nettles, but Lord [[Manfryd Mooton]] disobeyed the command. Nettles disappeared on [[Sheepstealer]], while Daemon flew on [[Caraxes]] to [[Harrenhal]] to await a [[Battle Above the Gods Eye|confrontation with his nephew]].{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - Rhaenyra Triumphant}} 

After Lord [[Corlys Velaryon]] was imprisoned for warning Ser [[Addam Velaryon]] of his impending arrest under charges of treason, two of the Sea Snake's [[sworn swords]], Ser [[Denys Woodwright]] and Ser [[Thoron True]], planned to free their [[lord]]. Mysaria learned of the plan from a [[whore]] Thoron had been [[bedding]], however, and the two [[knight]]s were promptly arrested and hanged. Septon [[Eustace (Dance of the Dragons)|Eustace]] suggests that Helaena Targaryen jumped to her death after being informed by Mysaria of how her son, Prince [[Maelor Targaryen]], had been killed at [[Sack of Bitterbridge|Bitterbridge]].{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - Rhaenyra Overthrown}}{{refn|group="N"|In a now deleted blog post, [[George R. R. Martin]] confirmed that hearing of Maelor's death was what drove Helaena to commit suicide, out of grief and guilt.<ref>[[Not a Blog]]: [http://web.archive.org/web/20240904154210/https://georgerrmartin.com/notablog/2024/09/04/beware-the-butterflies/ Beware the Butterflies].

During the [[Riot of King's Landing (Dance of the Dragons)|riot of King's Landing]], Mysaria warned Rhaenyra against the coming dark. When Rhaenyra ultimately [[Flight to Dragonstone|fled the capital]], Mysaria remained at the [[Red Keep]] among other members of the court. Ser [[Garth the Harelip]] surrendered the Red Keep to Ser [[Perkin the Flea]] and his [[gutter knights]], and Mysaria attempted to flee, but was taken. Perkin informed Mysaria that if she could [[Walk of atonement|travel naked]] through the city to the [[Gate of the Gods]] while being whipped, she would be allowed to live. Mysaria only made it halfway, dying on the city's cobblestones.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - Rhaenyra Overthrown}}
