A note for CR AU applications
Ruby City does allow previous game history/CR to be brought over on a case by case basis. If you want to include this in your application please add additional sections for PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT and PREVIOUS GAME HISTORY beneath the Personality and Background/History sections.

In these additional sections we would like to see a brief outline of your character's previous game history and how it potentially impacted on and altered their canon personality.

A Clash of Kings

She and the remains of Drogo's khalasar are stranded in a desolate area known as the Red Waste. They dare not turn toward the Dothraki Sea, the cities of Slaver's Bay, or even Lhazar, for the group would have made easy prey for any Dothraki khalasar they encountered. Dany chooses instead to follow a red comet that had appeared in the sky following the hatching of her dragons; although the Dothraki view the comet as a foreboding omen, Dany believes that it heralds her own rise to power. The comet leads them to an ancient, abandoned city, which Dany names Vaes Tolorro. There they recover from the ravages of the desert while Dany sends scouts in all directions.

One scout returns with three emissaries, all prominent citizens from the great city of Qarth: the merchant Xaro Xhoan Daxos, the warlock Pyat Pree, and the mysterious masked Asshai'i Quaithe. Dany and her people accompany the Qartheen back to their city, where they stay as honored guests in the palatial home of Xaro. There Dany learns of King Robert Baratheon's death and the civil war in the Seven Kingdoms. She attempts to seek out Qartheen allies who would provide her with aid in conquering Westeros, but it swiftly becomes clear that the merchants of Qarth are only interested in obtaining her dragons. Daenerys turns to Pyat Pree and the famous warlocks of Qarth. Against the judgment of her friends and counselors, she agrees to visit the House of the Undying, seeking a vision of the warlocks' masters, the Undying Ones.[19] Although Jorah and her bloodriders beg to accompany her, she insists on entering alone. After receiving instructions from Pyat Pree, Dany drinks shade of the evening and entered the building. Inside, Dany beholds a number of strange visions, most apparently signifying past, present and future events in Westeros. Upon finally reaching the chamber of the Undying, Dany hears whispers hailing her as "Mother of Dragons" and prophesying that she will light three fires, ride three mounts, and face three betrayals. The Undying show Dany several more visions and then attack her, but with Drogon's help she destroys the House of the Undying.

Afterward, the people of Qarth turn against Daenerys; the warlocks are rumored to conspire against her life, while Xaro requests that Dany and her people leave his mansion. With nowhere else to turn, she finally considers the suggestions of the third emissary, Quaithe, who tells her that she must go further east to conquer the west. Dany visits the docks with Jorah to seek passage out of Qarth. There she notices two strangers following her. Thus distracted, she is off her guard when a Sorrowful Man attempts to poison her with a manticore, but one of the strangers intercedes and knocks the manticore aside just in time. The two men introduce themselves as Strong Belwas, a eunuch and former pit fighter, and Arstan Whitebeard, an older Westerosi man serving as Belwas' squire. They claim to be agents sent by Magister Illyrio with three ships to escort Daenerys and her party back to Pentos. Dany accepts the pair into her service and claim the three ships and their cargo for her own, renaming them Vhagar, Meraxes and Balerion after the three dragons that brought her ancestor Aegon the Conqueror and his sister-wives to Westeros. Dany and her companions thus set sail for Pentos.

A Storm of Swords

Several days into the trip, Ser Jorah manages to convince Daenerys to go to Astapor, one of the great slave cities of Slaver's Bay, to purchase Unsullied so she can return to Illyrio with an army at her back. He also kisses her and professes his love for her. Lonely since Drogo's death, Daenerys briefly takes her maid Irri as a lover. Once in Astapor, Daenerys begins to have doubts about using slaves, still she agrees to purchases an army of every Unsullied in the ciry in exchange for her Dragon Drogon. She is given a slave Missandei as a gift from the Good Masters. Dany accepts, but she then frees Missandei. Dany tells Missandei that she can leave Dany's service whenever she wishes, but Missandei remains close and loyal to Dany.

After taking control of the Unsullied, Dany betrays the Masters by breaking the deal, reclaims Drogon and commands him to use his fires against the Astapori leaders. She then uses the Unsullied to conquer the city. After the fighting, she proclaims all Astapori slaves free, including her Unsullied, giving her the name Breaker of Shackles, or Breaker of Chains. The Unsullied and many new Freedmen choose to follow her in her future battles. After forming a council to rule Astapor, she sets out for the next great slave city Yunkai."

Abilities: Her control over her trio of dragons is her greatest power. She has also proved that she is immune to fire. Other than that, she is a skilled ruler with a sharp wit (and a sharp tongue) who is not afraid to make hard decisions, a skilled rider (in both the horse sense and sexual sense after marrying Khal Drogo) and a woman who has no trouble using any weapon at her disposal should one try to corner her or harm her and her children.

My question is: can she have her dragons in the city?
