Character Sheet
Beta:
Name: Alyssa I Targaryen

Mother of Mages
The Second Conqueror
The Bringer of the Dawn
Alyssa the Great
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Alyssa is described by most people as beautiful. She is slim of frame and possesses waist length brown hair. She has a long face with a prominent chin and grey eyes.
She is almost always dressed in dresses that emphasize her femininity with her hair down and occasionally styled with various accessories. Due to the time period from which she comes from, her dresses generally mirror the styles of the Medieval or Renaissance period of Earth though she might be convinced to wear other styles if provided good reason. Her dresses often have skirts that hide the sheath for Dark Sister in various ingenious ways.
Personality:
Ruthlessly pragmatic, Alyssa is not above being incredibly cruel to others in pursuit of her goals. To the point of being willing to commit genocide, both cultural and not, in pursuit of her goals. She also has a tendency to be prideful to the point of arrogance and complacency. Despite this she is generally considered a kind and caring person to those who she considered her loved ones. Another of Alyssa's major defining traits is her stubbornness. Once set on a course of action, she will follow through to the end in spite of any personal costs she must pay to reach the outcome she desires.

Skills:
Animal Communication: E
Alyssa has an above average ability to understand the intention of animals thanks to her connection with Ghost.
Breaker of the Ironborn: D
A perception of Alyssa seen by many, particularly of the Ironborn, in the wake of the cruelty with which she treated them. The low rank is a reflection of the limited number of individuals who held such a view of her especially over time. It causes all who would subscribe to the Ironborn lifestyle or those with similar values (i.e. those in favor of being reavers and slavers) to be instinctively intimidated by her presence.
Champion of a God: A
Alyssa is the chosen, and highly favored, champion of the Outsider god Lord Nameless. This Skill allows her to invoke him and call upon his aid.
Dragon Riding: A
A superior version of the Riding skill that reflects Alyssa's ability to ride the most mighty of beasts, the dragons. Having overseen the revival of the species in Westeros and trained many dragonriders in her time, Alyssa has an exceptionally high level in this skill.
Eye of the Mind (True): C
Alyssa is surprisingly capable of calm analysis of the abilities of the opponent as well as the battle conditions even when in danger and deduce an appropriate course of action after considering all possibilities to escape from a predicament.
Founder of the Faith: A
A Skill that reflects Alyssa's founding of the Church of Lord Nameless. It grants her a host of boost to all her abilities, adding a "+" to all her parameters as a manifestation of the followers of the faith's belief in her as a superior being due to her position as its founder.
God-Slayer: A
A reflection of Alyssa's slaying of both the Three-eyed Raven and the Night King, both of which were considered gods by the people of Westeros. This Skill gives her bonuses should she face opponents with divine traits such as the Divinity Skill.
Golden Rule: A
A Skill that refers to the fortune Alyssa acquired through her reign as Queen of Westeros. This translates into an uncanny ability to be able to generate wealth.
Imperial Privilege: A
An ability that, due to the insistence of the owner, Skills that are essentially impossible to possess can be obtained for a short period of time. It is derived from being the uncontested ruler of the Seven Kingdoms.

Reformation of the Seven Kingdoms: A
A reflection of her the prosperity that she brought her lands of people through her formidable skill as a ruler. It allows her to handle matters related to being a ruler such as leadership, political maneuvering, administrative management, etc. with exceptional skill. This Skills is equivalent to having Skills such as Charisma, Discernment of the Poor, Military Tactics, Strategy all at once at the same rank as Reformation of the Seven Kingdoms.
Riding: C
This Skill denotes Alyssa's ability to ride mounts and vehicles.
Valor: B
A Skill that is the ability to negate mental interference such as pressure, confusion and fascination. It is a reflection of Alyssa's demonstrated bravery.
Noble Phantasm:
Ghost, the Dragon of Fire and Ice
Rank: A Type: Anti-Army
Ghost is Alyssa's faithful familiar and friend. He is a massive wyrm that is bigger than even the legendary Balerion the Black Dread with snow white scales, the small gaps between which glow with the heat of magma. His horns are razor sharp spires of ice and the membranes of his wings an ever changing net of raw magic. Most striking however were his eyes which are blood red orbs that shone with a baleful red light that spoke of his eldritch power. This departure from the standard form of a dragon of his kind is a result of magical bleed which caused him to mutate into his current form.
His breath is a white flame that freezes as it burns that leaves scorch marks and frost in equal measure in its wake. He can also freely change it to simply be a white flame shot with red hot enough to melt steel and stone or a cone of frost.
Alyssa's familiar bond with Ghost allows them to communicate telepathically irregardless of distance so long as they're on the same plane. Ghost can comprehend and even speak Westerosi due to bleed via their link, however he mainly communicates via imagery and bursts of emotion. It does not allow them to enter the other's skin and control the other like warging allows. The link also protects against attempts to warg or other similar mental intrusions into the minds of either Alyssa or Ghost.
The familiar bond also greatly enhances Alyssa's mana raising it to EX, by giving her access to his nearest limitless mana pool created from the immense rate at which he both produces and draws magical energy from the environment. This mingling of their souls also means that Alyssa and Ghost will live so long as the other does which translates into them the both have a lifespan measured in centuries .
Tome of Magic
Rank: A Type: Magecraft
A grimoire of magic gifted to Alyssa by the Outsider Nameless. It grants her the potential to cast all magic and with it in hand, the ability to actually cast it even without even properly learning the exact details of the spell/ritual/etc . It responds to her circumstances, flipping its pages to present her with the spell/ritual/etc. that most meets her need for the occasion. Though it generally tends towards defaulting to versions of spells from the multiverse of the Forgotten Realms. Stories abound that through the use of this powerful artifact the Queen could construct the most wondrous of magical items and even create whole worlds with her magic.
Dark Sister, the Killer of the Night
Rank: A Type: Anti-Unit
Dark Sister is a famous longsword with a slender blade designed for a woman's hand and one of the two ancestral swords of House Targaryen. Made out of the mysterious and legendary Valyrian steel, Dark Sister is a powerful magical catalyst that can significantly enhance any spell Alyssa casts through it. Legends say this storied blade has the power to slay even the most powerful beings, even gods, without exception.
Alyssa the Great, First of her Name, Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men and Lady of the Seven Kingdoms
Rank: EX Type: Anti-World
A crystallization of all of Alyssa's achievements as arguably the greatest monarch in the history of the Seven Kingdoms. This powerful Noble Phantasms grants Alyssa access to all of that which she ruled over as the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms. Rumors tell how she can summon any resource, person or place from the lands that were once under her dominion to her aid with but a single word. It is even said that with sufficient power she is able to manifest the totality of her Seven Kingdoms to serve her whenever and wherever the need should arise.
Just a little extra for loyal readers of this project borrowing a modified version of the Servant format from the Fate franchise.
Yes, the Skills and Noble Phantasm list is absurdly long for the format. However, keep in mind this is not an actual Servant character sheet and if anything is closer to what a sheet for her as a true Heroic Spirit would be. So since the Servants are Heroic Spirits squeezed into lesser vessels created by the Holy Grail that does not have full access to their abilities, so this excessive list is more of what she could have access to as a Servant rather than what she actually does.
Also for those of you who might be interested in how what classes Alyssa might be hypothetically summoned as during a Holy Grail War, it would Caster, Rider and Saber. She'd derive the Item and Territory Creation skills she is missing for Caster from Tome of Magic and her Magical Resistance from Ghost. As this character sheet is not an actual Servant sheet I did not list the full range of effects these Noble Phantasms would have if she ever became one. Note that Dark Sister only ever becomes a full on Noble Phantasm if she was a Saber and Alyssa the Great is accessible only ever as Rider. Ghost and the Tome of Magic are constants though.
I was tempted to add Alyssa's spell list but decided against it because during the course of her long life there is no doubt she would learn many, many more spells than what appeared in the story. Including a list limited to the spells she was only shown to have used would thus feel incomplete. At the same time, including a full list would just seem like an unnecessary inflation to her character sheet.
Hope you guys liked this little extra.
Before I leave this work behind, I just want to reflect on this project and say that while writing this project was fun, publishing it was deeply unpleasant. Especially here on FFN. Having written in multiple fandoms, though that's not saying more considering how relative unknown I am, I can say with certainty that this was probably the most unpleasant fandom I've published in ever. There were people demanding I change major plot points in my story to fit their expectations of what they wanted. Its one thing to find flaws in the story's coherency/narrative/etc. then point them out and discuss it with the author so that the latter's vision comes out better. It is a whole other thing to demand they abandon their vision and adopt yours, refusing to take no for an answer when they resist. People who instead of being the mature adult and dropping the fic as a result of divergence tastes/expectations, proceeded to misrepresent the story in the reviews often ignoring details written within the story to do so. Now, I will admit this is entirely my subjective take on events but since this is my reflection and this is my story, it is my experience that counts here. Especially when I can say that my unpleasant experience with these people are making me seriously consider not writing another solo fic again. I can now empathize with all the aspiring writers, fanfic or otherwise, who chose to quit the hobby/profession. When people try to hijack your vision in the guise of helping you make it better (because isn't that what reviews are supposed to be about)... It makes you feel terrible. And yeah, I'm totally expecting that people will come out and say just grow a thicker skin and yeah, I know, but everyone has a limit of tolerating this kind of nonsense and I am close to the limit of my tolerance.
So it seems this terrible story, at least according to the reviewers, is over. Hope those of you who did enjoy it were entertained.
Guest review responses:
To the guest reviewer who sent in three long reviews critiquing canon: As interesting as the reviews were at times they had nothing to do with the fic so I deleted them. Sorry but I don't see how reviews that don't even mention my story should be accepted.
Well that's it for this project I think. Till next my project farað gesunde!
