Initially offered as a potential spouse for Viserys following his wife's unexpected death in childbirth, Laena was turned down due to her youth. Years later, Laena grows fond of Prince Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith), as depicted with her overt flirtations with the Prince during Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen's (Milly Alcock) wedding feast.
