===''A Dance with Dragons''=== In Meereen, Queen Daenerys wants to ban the ''tokar'', but her advisors convince her otherwise. The [[Green Grace]], [[Galazza Galare]], explains that Daenerys must wear the attire of [[Old Ghis]] if she wants to be accepted as [[Queen of Meereen|their ruler]]. [[Ben Plumm]] refers to the ''tokar'' as "floppy ears" that a "king o' the rabbits" must wear, and Daenerys adopts that term for her ''tokars'', which she dislikes wearing.{{ref|ADWD|2}} The snappish [[Viserion]] burns the ''tokar'' of [[Reznak mo Reznak]].{{ref|ADWD|2}} Daenerys dresses in a ''tokar'' to hold court in the [[Audience chamber (Great Pyramid)|throne room]] of the [[Great Pyramid]]. One of the petitioners is a [[Great Master]]'s son dressed in a frayed ''tokar'', who wants his father's former household slaves executed for killing his family. Daenerys has to deny him, as she had declared a blanket pardon for all crimes committed during the sack, and will not punish slaves for rising up against their masters. The boy attempts to attack her, but fails when he trips on his own ''tokar''. Daenerys forgives him and sends him away, and tells him to treasure the ''tokar'' that saved his life.{{ref|ADWD|2}} When [[Hizdahr zo Loraq]] comes to Daenerys for his seventh petition to re-open the [[fighting pits of Meereen]], he has shaved his beard and cut his hair, and he wears a simple robe instead of a ''tokar''.{{ref|ADWD|11}} A dying Astapori rider arrives in Meereen atop a [[pale mare]], warning that Astapor is burning. [[Grey Worm]] informs Daenerys that under the man's ''tokar'' he was as thin as a skeleton and burning with fever.{{Ref|ADWD|30}} After Daenerys agrees to marry Hizdahr per the advice of Galazza Galare, Reznak informs her of the [[wedding]] garb for a bride according to [[Ghiscari]] tradition, a ''tokar'' of white [[silk]], with dark red veils. The ''tokar'' is fringed with baby [[pearl]]s, which symbolize fertility.{{Ref|ADWD|36}} Daenerys wears the traditional ''tokar'' during her wedding to Hizdahr, though she envies her [[Dothraki]] [[handmaid]]s in their [[sandsilk]] trousers and painted vests.{{Ref|ADWD|43}} At the ceremony for the re-opening of the [[fighting pits]], after the [[pit fighter]] [[Barsena Blackhair]] is killed by a [[boar]], Daenerys can no longer stand to wear her ''tokar'' and removes it, moments before [[Drogon]] arrives in [[Daznak's Pit]].{{ref|ADWD|52}} [[Tyrion Lannister]] recalls that when he was performing in Daznak's Pit, all he saw of Daenerys was a slender girl with silvery hair, who was wrapped in a ''tokar'' and whose face was veiled.{{ref|ADWD|57}}
