Lemongate

I think it would be really interesting if it turned out that not only was the Lemon Tree not in Braavos, but that it was in her childhood home, before she was snatched and forced to pretend to be a Targaryen ...

I think she's right. My guess is that Ashara Dayne fled with her, due to Ned's warning right after the rebellion, which is why "her heart was broken" and "her body was never found".

Agree with the sentiments above, especially the issue of identity of Dany and her battle with it.

That would also tie in with Cersei telling Ned about the child he stole away from Ashara- she might not have realized it, but it would still be ironic.

i don't think it's coincidental that some Daynes have Targ features. Although, who would tell Dany about this and how?

Might not be nothing but I looked over the Viserys and Dany interactions once, and almost every single time he calls her "sweet sister". The only time that he doesn't IIRC is right before he's crowned when he's drunk. It almost seems like an engrained phrase how he always calls her that.

And then the other interesting thing is that the phrase "sweet sister" for almost every other time it's used is used sarcastically. Like when Tyrion refers to Cersei or when Lysa refers to Catelyn after she just brought Tyrion to the Vale. But the most interesting thing if we're wondering if Dany really is Viserys' sister is that Arianne uses to phrase to describe one of the Sand Snakes... who she wished was her sister.

Again might be nothing. But thought it was interesting nonetheless

A Game of Thrones - Daenerys I

She remembered Ser Willem dimly, a great grey bear of a man, half-blind, roaring and bellowing orders from his sickbed. The servants had lived in terror of him, but he had always been kind to Dany. He called her "Little Princess" and sometimes "My Lady," and his hands were soft as old leather. He never left his bed, though, and the smell of sickness clung to him day and night, a hot, moist, sickly sweet odor. That was when they lived in Braavos, in the big house with the red door. Dany had her own room there, with a lemon tree outside her window. After Ser Willem had died, the servants had stolen what little money they had left, and soon after they had been put out of the big house. Dany had cried when the red door closed behind them forever.

Red Door = Red Dorne

Red Mountains of Dorne, Red Viper of Dorne, sweet red wines from Dorne, red sands of Dorne...


A Feast for Crows - The Queenmaker

"We are in part, Your Grace. Nymeria's blood is in me, along with that of Mors Martell, the Dornish lord she married. On the day they wed, Nymeria fired her ships, so her people would understand that there could be no going back. Most were glad to see those flames, for their voyagings had been long and terrible before they came to Dorne, and many and more had been lost to storm, disease, and slavery. There were a few who mourned, however. They did not love this dry red land or its seven-faced god, so they clung to their old ways, hammered boats together from the hulks of the burned ships, and became the orphans of the Greenblood. The Mother in their songs is not our Mother, but Mother Rhoyne, whose waters nourished them from the dawn of days."
