For instance, Duncan, the eldest, took after his Blackwood mum. As is the case in many Targ/non Targ offspring, as I mentioned up thread. https://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Duncan_Targaryen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Among other places, the Wiki is pretty thorough. Also, we have descriptions of several Targs Martin gave to someone... Amok, maybe. I’d start by searching the SSMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mithras Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 We would still have RLJ deniers. R+A=J perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, the lad is still a bastard and therefore, not as big of a threat as Viserys, who was already crowned on Dragonstone. Years will pass and he would be sent to the wall or the citadel to remove any ideas from that head of his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvo the Crow Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 16 hours ago, zandru said: Sure, sure. But it's notable that we haven't gotten any detailed descriptions of Rhaegar, other than his silver-white hair and purple eyes. Might he have "Starkish" features, like a long lean face? Might Rhaegar have been tall and slender, as Jon is described, in contrast to the broader, more muscular, less willowy Rob Stark? And, for that matter, was Eddard Stark "broad and muscular" in his teens, or long and slender? There's a lot we haven't been told. Brandon of the “Bloody Sword” is taller and more muscular than Ned. Karstark men are tall and big. Uncle Benjen is long legged and if I recall right, lean. Alys is lean and long legged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since we're talking only about a change in Jon's looks not in the circumstances surrounding Lyanna's death in ToJ from implied birth complications.

X-Buster Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Shave his head. Put wheels on the back of his head and pretend he's a skateboard. Eddard could send him off to live with the mountain clans. Nobody would look for a Targaryen there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Citadel is not going to work for a rebel like Jon. He's too much of a rash hot head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he should learn to better manage his anger. At least enough to learn something at the citadel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us see, blonde hair and purple eyes. So yeah, sending him to the wildlings is a great idea. Tormund won't be able to resist him. Jon will be Mrs. Tormund in a short time.

The Wolves Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 People are overthinking this. Ned would panic at first but he could easily explain Jon’s looks by saying his mother was a silver-blond haired, purple eyed woman. Ned could do exactly what he did and no one would be the wiser. Also people in Westeros are stupid so it would be easy to explain away Jon’s looks by saying that Ned slept with someone of Valyrian descent. Ned also got lucky that Jon looked liked him/Starks.
