* AdaptationalWimp: In the books, she becomes a skilled and spirited equestrian in an instant at her wedding feast, leaping a campfire on her silver. She physically shoves Viserys in their confrontation in the long grass and never allows him to be around her without her ''kos'' like she does in Season 1, which in the show earns her a cut cheek-bone from her cruel brother that really should have spelled his death two episodes earlier than it happened. Qarth welcomes her as the Mother of Dragons with open arms and an honour guard parade in the books instead of treating her like a beggar, and her BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind and eventual victory over the warlocks known as ''[[HumanoidAbomination The Undying]]'' is much more complex and impressive than the show's watered-down couple of visions relating to TheFinalTemptation. Furthermore, TV Dany has never shown to be willing to go full Joan of Arc and act as a standard-bearer within an assaulting army, as Book Dany wishes to do in the First Siege of Meereen to increase the morale of her men. TV Dany doesn't shame her people into trying to care for terminally ill refugees by personally washing and feeding the diseased, and though there are many faults in her ruling, the Harpy's Sons never dare commit open attacks in broad daylight on Book Dany as there are many loyal divisions of freedmen with awesome company names like "The Mother's Men" being drilled by the Unsullied to take care of civil security and most of all...

* NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed: On baseline, Daenerys has been argued as a {{Gender Flip}}ped version of Henry VII of UsefulNotes/TheHouseOfTudor, whose overarching ambition is to return and claim his birthright as the last of the Lancastrian side. Much like the Targaryens, the Tudors would carry the Welsh dragon as their standard. Similarly, Henry VII cements his alliance with marriage to Elizabeth of York (who is the preferred rallying point of his erstwhile enemies in the House of York). Daenerys, by contrast, would struggle to keep the Starks on side--be it due to the general mistrust of Sansa, the Lady of Winterfell and her tragic romance with Jon Snow, King in the North.

Joffrey and Dany were both raised in neglect, albeit Daenerys in near poverty and Joffrey in the lap of luxury. While Joffrey devolved into sadism, Daenerys recognises the value of treating fellow beings as you would wish to be treated and does not hold the family name and legacy as the be-all and end-all of a claimant's 'right' to rule. It has to be earned through hardships and out of the two; only Daenerys has experienced her fair share of those. This makes her pride more relatable as well.

For Robert, sitting on the Iron Throne was what many of his closest associates called the worst curse he could suffer, because he was [[CripplingOverspecialization a warrior who needed to always fight to be at his best]]. Daenerys conquered the Bay of Slavers with relative ease, but even in her case what happens after she did so proved that ruling does not mean winning, because the difficulties of administering a kingdom proved burdensome for her. However, unlike Robert, she has tried to learn from her mistakes and has shown that she understands that becoming a good ruler is a matter of duty as well as survival.

** [[spoiler:Her entire story arc turns out to be this. All her struggles to regain the Iron Throne costs her closest friends, allies, two of her dragon children, and her own sanity, culminating in her massacring hundreds of thousands of civilians after surrender. When she finally reclaims her lifelong goal of the Iron Throne, the path of destruction she has sown to get there is too great and she refuses Jon's pleas to show mercy as she now believes [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans continued fire and blood is necessary to build her vision]]. Unable to dissuade her, Jon reluctantly stabs her to stop her destruction and stunned, Daenerys [[DiedInYourArmsTonight dies in a Jon's arms.]] She doesn't even get the chance to sit on the throne she's dreamed of her whole life. However, it is slightly mitigated by the fact she ''did'' manage to stop slavery in Slaver's Bay, helped save Westeros from the White Walkers, and laid the foundation for an elective monarchy (a step above the hereditary monarchy she seemed bent on destroying), so while her quest for the Iron Throne failed, she did manage to leave behind quite a legacy, some it positive]].

** To Robert Baratheon. Both proved to be rulers far better at conquering than ruling. For Robert, sitting on the Iron Throne was what many of his closest associates called the worst curse he could suffer, because he was [[CripplingOverspecialization a warrior who needed to always fight to be at his best]]. Daenerys conquered the Bay of Slavers with relative ease, but even in her case what happens after she did so proved that ruling does not mean winning, because the difficulties of administering a kingdom proved burdensome for her. However, unlike Robert, she has tried to learn from her mistakes and has shown that she understands that becoming a good ruler is a matter of duty as well as survival.

** She has also become one to the very Usurper she despises: Robert Baratheon, a conqueror who struggled with ruling. Daenerys shows visible unhappiness with her position as a ruler of Meereen, clearly realizing that conquering Slaver's Bay was way better than peace-time and post-war reconstruction. Unlike Robert, however, she shows far greater commitment to ruling over her kingdom and is trying to learn from her mistakes. As opposed to letting someone else rule for her entirely.
** She and Tyrion find something in common, being descendants of two families who hate each other, "two terrible children of two terrible fathers", who are also despised by their older siblings for "killing" their mothers.

* NiceToTheWaiter: In a stark contrast to her brother, Daenerys is shown early on to be very courteous to and protective of her servants, drawing comparisons to her other brother, Rhaegar, who was known to be generous to the smallfolk. Dany treats some of her servants, in particular, Missandei and Jorah, more like friends or family, being a lot less formal with them compared to the [[TheWomanWearingTheQueenlyMask aloof, regal image]] she projects to others. She is also very compassionate towards the commoners of Slaver's Bay, doing what she can to help them and in fact, gets along with them far better than the nobles. She eventually expresses a desire to Tyrion to restructure the Seven Kingdoms to improve things for the smallfolk and stop them from being crushed time and time again by the power games of the lords.

** Season 8 shows that while the people of Westeros needed Daenerys to fight the Night King, it never meant that she would eventually become their hero. Whether or not she is a better ruler than Cersei, Daenerys remains the Mad King's daughter, arrived from a foreign land to bring a new war or, in the case of the Northmen, take away the independence gained after so many sacrifices.

However, in Season Seven she does state that she was "raped", so it seems at least part of her did not accept or approve of all the things he did and the way he treated her.
