Tenth child and sixth daughter of King Jaehaerys I and Queen Alysanne, born in 71 AC and reckoned the most beautiful of all the queen's daughters — deep purple eyes, silver-gold hair, flawless white skin, a grace uncanny and unsettling in one so young. Her vanity grew into a raging fire upon the courtiers' praise: she set squires upon foolish quests for her favour, played one suitor against another for sport, and answered a boy who called her a goddess by agreeing with him. She had decided in her girlhood that she would be queen of the Seven Kingdoms, and to that end set her eye not upon any of the lords' sons who circled her but upon her elder brother Baelon, the widowed Prince of Dragonstone fourteen years her senior. To put a stop to it Queen Alysanne betrothed her in 86 AC to Lord Theomore Manderly of White Harbor, a four-times widowed lord grown very stout in his middle years; Viserra wept and stormed and pleaded with her father, who agreed with the match, and then with Baelon, who would have nothing to do with her. One night near the end she slipped past his guards naked and climbed into his bed; he sent her drunk back to her chambers when he came in. As the household made ready her departure for White Harbor in 87 AC she traded clothes with a maid, slipped from the Red Keep for one last night of laughter with two minor lordlings and four young knights, and near midnight raced the company up Aegon's High Hill so reeling drunk that her palfrey met the mare of one of her companions head-on at the foot of it. She was thrown into the wall and broke her neck, fifteen years old, the day before her marriage.
