Description
Saera was born in 67 AC as the ninth child and fifth daughter of King Jaehaerys I Targaryen and Queen Alysanne Targaryen. She was a difficult child, and refused to be weaned until past the age of four. She was also given to mischief and pranks. Saera always sneaked cats into the bedchamber of her sister Daella, knowing that Daella was afraid of cats, and once filled Daella's chamberpot with bees.
When she was ten years old, Saera slipped into White Sword Tower, stole all the white cloaks of the Kingsguard that she could get her hands on and dyed them pink. When she was seven, Saera learned when and how to slip into the kitchens, making off with all kinds of treats. Before she was eleven, she had taken to stealing alcoholic beverages instead. By the time she was twelve, she was often drunk when she was summoned to the sept.

A frequent victim of Saera's pranks was Tom Turnip, the court fool. Once, after a particularly cruel prank which resulted in Tom being injured, Saera's septa declared her to be "an evil child". Before she had even turned thirteen, Saera had already had half a dozen septas and as many bedmaids.

In 73 AC, after her parents had concluded that her siblings Vaegon and Daella should not wed each other, Saera was briefly considered as a bride for Vaegon.

After her flowering, Saera took to the men at the royal court. When she was fourteen years old, Saera told her father that she wanted to become a queen like her mother, by wedding the Prince of Dorne or the King-Beyond-the-Wall. When she saw a trader from the Summer Islands, she declared that she might wanted to marry him as well. By the time she was fifteen, however, she had come to entertain other fantasies. At home, she could have as many young men, squires, knights and lords, as she liked. She quickly had three favorites of all the men who attended her: Jonah Mooton, the heir to Maidenpool, Roy Connington, the Lord of Griffin's Roost, and Ser Braxton Beesbury, the heir to Honeyholt. Meanwhile, two girls her own age, Perianne Moore and Alys Turnberry, became Saera's closest friends. For more than a year, the three girls and young lordlings did everything together.

King Jaehaerys considered all three of Saera's male favorites promising when considering a future husband for Saera. Queen Alysanne did not agree, and spoke of her doubts on Saera's companions, especially Ser Braxton. Jaehaerys waved her concerns away, claiming that Saera had never been alone with any of the men, as she was always attended by servants, and thus could not possibly get herself in trouble.
