Born in the year 80, Gael Targaryen was a princess of House Targaryen, the thirteenth child and seventh daughter of King Jaehaerys I Targaryen and his sister-wife, Alysanne. Being born in the middle of winter, she was nicknamed the Winter Child. She died in the year 99, throwing herself into the waters of the river Blackwater.
From the moment she was born, Gael was a pale, thin and frail child. As the last child of Queen Alysanne, she was always at her mother's side. She was kind, obedient, shy and gentle, but simple-minded.
