Melissa Berne’s Choice: Daenerys Targaryen
Daenerys should take the throne because I believe she has the most honorable intentions. She really does want to make the world a better place. While Margaery, I feel, is more political. She shows compassion at times, but is it genuine or is it just because she wants to be queen?
And let’s not forget that she was willing to marry a psychopath to do that. A flaw her grandmother was quick to fix with a little Purple Wedding…
Dany doesn’t want the throne just because of her name and birthright (Looking at you, Stannis), even though Targareyns ruled BEFORE the Baratheons.
The task of making the world a better place is not simple, and that’s something she’s learning and working on. She stayed in Mereen so that she can learn to rule. She realizes that if she can’t rule and bring peace in Slaver’s Bay, why should she rule all seven kingdoms? She is confident but doesn’t let her ego get in the way. She has a great combination of being tough and also showing compassion. When she makes a mistake, she learns from it and strategizes her next move. Easily, the Khaleesi should take the Iron Throne.
